Cruise was excellent and we will travel with Princess again. A couple things I wished I had known before embarking are the bathroom amenities. There is liquid soap and shampoo in large bottles connected to the wall in the shower. Also a small bottle of conditioner. The very very small bar of soap had to be replenished 3 times on a 19 day day cruise. There is just one bar for the shower but none for the sink.
