We booked this cruise knowing Princess had produced a great Christmas Cruise for us a few years ago. We have 3 Teenagers - 15, 17, 19 and love to spend quality time with them. They love to spend time with each other and meet new friends from around the world. This was a good experience all around.
We booked rooms on the back (aft) of the Aloha deck. We were just steps from the deck/pool and we owned a couple bar stools overlooking the pool and ocean! Yes, we met a lot of people and they did know where to find us many times!
Embarkation was so easy. We almost just walked on! No lines!
737 - we heard chairs being moved above us early in the AM and late at night. Great location though
721 - quieter but last on steward list so if it gets cleaned it won't be till noon or later
