Review summary

We had a great time. Plenty to do onboard and off. Staff was always smiling and helpful. I joined the pop choir and N joined the line dancing group. We are both trtivia buffs and there were trivia challenges 2 or 3 times a day. Turned out that most of the passengers were seniors so we fit right in. Food was always delicious. I am not experimental with food but N tried everything, especially if it had an exotic name.

Great hamburgers at the grill. Really liked the ventriloquist who entertained a couple of nights.

I had a long embarkation time on Princess and never cruised again with the company. Perhaps I will in the future, who knows.it sounds like you had a delightful cruise. The more you participate, I feel, the more fun that you have. You get to meet more people with similar interests.

We are in the same cabin as you for a March 2016 Panama Canal cruise. Normally we do inside cabins but thought we would splurge a little for an ocean view. How is the view from your room. Right side of the ship to see stuff? Thanks for any info.
