Star Princess Review by Karen

I've just returned from a 7 night cruise on the Star princess. The ship sailed out of Fort Lauderdale to the Western Caribbean, Grand Cayman, Ocho Rios, Cozumel and the private island of Princess Cays. We had a very comfortable verandah cabin on the Caribe deck. The verandah cabins on the Caribe deck have a much larger balcony than the verandah cabins located above this deck. We arrived at Port Everglades about noon and there were already alot of people waiting in line. As this was our sixth cruise on Princess, we had our Platinum cards and were able to get right in with preferred check in. By 1:00 p.m. we had already been to our cabins and were enjoying lunch in the Lido buffet.

Princess has two options for dining - either traditional fixed seating, or personal choice. With Personal choice dining you can eat when you want and with whom you want. As I was with my family, we opted for personal choice. However, on the second night of the cruise, we found a waiter in the personal choice dining room who was great and therefore sat at his table every night. His name if Filippe, so ask for him - you won't be disappointed.

This ship has everything entertainment wise - the broadway style shows, comedians and magicians and even during the art auction, one of the artists they were featuring was painting right in front of the audience. There was so much to do it was hard to decide what to do!!

We were all very pleased with the ship, even my Dad who is new to cruising, wants to take another Princess cruise in February. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
