This is our third Princess cruise (five total cruises). I had wanted to see the Panama Canal even though my husband had already been through it with the US Navy. He said he did not see much from the engine room and this was much more pleasant. We had a wonderful time. We had balcony cabin C322 which was fine. We like to go out on the balcony to catch the view, check the weather, and sit and relax. Our room steward Ron was great. The shower has the soap and shampoo/conditioner dispensers now.

Food: We prefer the early assigned seating. We had table 41 in the Bordeaux Dining Room. (Yes, this is also the Anytime Dining Room, but our table for 8 was reserved for us each evening.) Our waiter Rinier and assistant waiter Djinn (sorry for the spelling, guys) were great. We enjoyed having dinner with two other great couples.

Most of the evenings we ate in the Bordeaux Dining Room. One day when we were late from our tour, we ate dinner at the Horizon Court. I prefer the dining room. We ate breakfasts (great) and lunches (okay) in the Horizon Court. We tried the ice cream and the pizza. We purchased the soft drink packages for both of us. Being from the South, we know what good (sweet) iced tea tastes like, and we cannot stand the ship’s tea. (Now the hot tea is good.) Read more
