We are truly retired now. We were able to take advantage of a last minute e-mailed deal. Just 10 days out we were able to book cabin and air and we were off to London. One bad aspect was; I did not have my usually time to prepare and research. I did not even have time to read all the postings of a very large and active Meet and Greet group.
The weather was wonderful. We were so lucky. We loved all of the ports:
1--St. Peters Port - took the local bus around the island. Popular option, so we had to wait for several busses. Lovely island! Ate ice cream from the food fair and stood in a huge line to tender back to ship. Should have gotten either a second scoop, or sat down at a cafe and waited for line to shorten.
Plaza deck is a great location because it is close to: International cafe, Princess Theatre, Dining room, internet cafe, and elevators to the Spa. Very quiet. Princess beds are still hard. I brought my own mattress pad.
