This was my first cruise. I am 39 years old and single. I went with my folks who were celebrating their 53 wedding anniversary and it was an early 40th birthday present to me. My parents wanted to do Canada/New England and that was fine with me. I knew the passengers would either be older or families and I was correct. If you are going on this cruise to meet young people, don't do it, go to the Caribbean. If you are looking for a different experience and want to relax, then this is for you.

The embarkation process went very smooth. When we got to baggage claim there was a Princess cruise rep. waiting to meet us. We got on our bus and off to Port no problem. It was a very easy process. We were on the ship and in our staterooms by 2 pm and we landed at the airport by Noon. We did not get our bags for a couple of hours, but that was not a big deal. We went up to the Horizon Court and had a bite to eat and a beer and enjoyed watching people.

One thing I noticed immediately upon arriving to the ship and I hate to offend people, BUT, there were so many rude people on this ship, it was very sad to see. I am from the Midwest and we have been taught to respect people and to say excuse me and not cut in line, etc. I wasn't expecting to be among a lot of rude people, but that was the case, all week long. And to see how some of these people treated the crew was very, very sad. The crew are hard working individuals who deserve respect. Read more
