Diamond Embarkation Question--Are the cabins always ready upon boarding?

[Palomino]

We've sailed Celebrity 4 times, but this Thanksgiving we'll take our first Princess cruise. On Celebrity, they often allow early boarding, but you can't go to your cabin until an announcement is made. Is this the case with Princess, or you can you always go to your cabin upon boarding?

The room stewards are very quick at what they do. They definitely do not leave enough time to shampoo the carpet nor vaccum under the bed, but everything else appears ready for the next guests when they board.

 

Most of us clear out of our rooms by 10:30am, it'll give the room stewards to clean the rooms for the next guests to board around 11:30am. I think the room stewards start cleaning the rooms as early as 6am. Once they see that you go to breakfast, they start cleaning your room.

 

I've been on Princess twice and the rooms have always being ready. Even the butter cookies are plated and on the table.
