Made it home and I agree with everyone else that it was an easy disembarkation. We requested a later time slot since we were driving (I did not want to deal with 8:00 am traffic on a Monday morning. Ugh.) Our number was scheduled to be called at 9:00 am, but they were ahead of schedule and called us at 8:45. Quick process through the terminal since they use facial recognition for customs and immigration procedures. We were loading our luggage in the back of the car in the parking garage by 9:05. Overall we really enjoyed the 14 days. Princess obviously has implemented many cutbacks and cost-saving measures that are, at times, noticeable. But, to be honest, I don’t think the changes are much different or any more drastic than what every other cruise line is doing right now. We are planning a cruise to Alaska next year on Majestic Princess, so I look forward to comparing our experiences. Thanks everyone for following along, and thank you to @schnapperin and @LidoLiz especially for adding their commentary and information along the way! I loved hearing about all the other things happening that we didn’t experience. Until next time, happy sails! …and now the laundry begins. -

They gave us a reminder that the clocks turn back tonight. So at least we get an extra hour on our last night. Suitcases out in the hallway by 10 pm. -

Final MDR Dinner - Day 14 Tonight was the “Farewell Dinner” menu. For the first time I managed to get a completely blurry menu. But here is the menu from the app. -

I’m about 75% packed I guess. I always feel way less organized getting all the stuff back INTO the suitcase. Today has had beautifully mild temperatures and nice breezes across the deck as we head back to Fort Lauderdale. -

Dessert Mark ordered the cheesecake and it was good. I got the pistachio dome and, while I thought it tasted good, I didn’t taste any pistachio at all. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t pistachio. It was mostly just sweet. -

We both opted for the Land and Sea platter. It was good. Lobster was just okay, the steak was decent (and pretty tender for a small cut), and the twice-baked potato was yummy. -

I think this is the first time I took a picture, but they bring a basket of rolls to the table each night. Mark and I both tried the Crab & Shrimp Bisque. Again, this was a bit salty. Than the Wedge Salad. This was somewhat disappointing. I love the blue cheese and red onion, but there wasn’t really a “wedge” of salad so it was very overdressed. Lol, it’s rare for me to say it needs more lettuce, but here we are. -
