Let me start by saying that this was my 8th Cruise (4th with Princess) along with 3 Carnival and 1 Royal Caribbean. I am also 42 year old male.
After reading many reviews on here, I truly believe that some people are just down right snobs or truly picky. I believe that any cruise is what you make it.
I was traveling with 10 other people. Our 1st small group in 3 years. We normally have 30-50 people with us. So this time was family and a few friends.
