I go out on the Princess twice a month. I enjoy the morning cruise much more than the evening - seems to be a dicier crowd at night.

The cruise is free to me as a Platinum Player's Card holder and I can bring a guest along for free as well. I also receive $40 - $100 in freeplay.

With 2 floors of gaming - you'll find me mainly on the non-smoking floor - plus less wave action the lower you go. The buffet is free and it's fairly good.

Likes:
1. Free drinks
2. Nice mini getaway cruise
3. Gambling time is limited - once the ship returns to port and leaves international waters the machines turn off - therefore, stopping me from going to the ATM to get more money.
4. No reservations necessary
5. Tax free jackpots

Dislikes:
1. Slots: they really need to update their machines - very old and outdated
2. Puke: people who aren't used to the wave motion (sometimes over 7 feet) get sick - it's necessary to take Bonine or Dramamine "before" you get on the boat. Waiting until your already queasy is too late.
