We figured right after new years wouldbe a great time to travel. The price was right and the weather back home was cold. Embarkation was so efficient. It took less than a half hour. (Debarkation took kust 15 minutes). Our room was a nice size and the balcony was fine for sittingoutsid and relaxing. We choose th early dinner and asked to be seated at a table of 8. Our dinner companions were extraordinary people. we were all so different but got along so well. we did some excursions together and watched some shows together. After the cruise I felt I made some new friends for lifei even played mah jongg with one of the woman, a friend from home and someone we met on board. The food for dinner was excellent and very ample portions. Our waiter was wonderful. we had lobster and steak in addition to other things. We had 2 great comedians on the ship and a great instrumentalist. The Princess singers and dancers were so energetic and they must have had close to 10 costume changes for each show. The Horizon Court was a fine buffet. They had smoked salmon for breakfast everyday and knowing how costly that is i was quite impressed. The ship was kept immaculate..
As far as the excursions. We were disappointed because we couldn't get into Costa rica do to the rough seas.but Aruba,Panama, Cartegna and the Grand Cayman were worthwhile. I even swam with the stingrays
Now for a few negatives...
Our cabin was on the 12h th deck...close to the Horizon Court and pool. The room was quite and the AC worked wonderfully. There was ample space for our clothes and a very large closet. The shower was small but certainly adequate
