There are no stairs midship.... so if you like to use the stairs and avoid very long waits for the elevators every time... consider a cabin at either end of the ship... It's crazy to have to wait 5 minutes to go down one floor.

Pick a different ship! At least until this one gets a major remodel. If you do go on it, keep your expectations low. Not the standards you'd expect for Princess.

The Caribe deck is a nice centrally located deck to be on. We are physically fit travelers who never took the elevators and were able to climb or descend to any level we needed to be at.

Balcony is your best deal. It's wonderful to wake up to the ocean sound and watching the city as you approach the port!

Things have surely changed since this trip - but the buffet and MDRs were top quality - no need to pay extra for the specialty restaurant(s).

Get the drink package, definitely worth it since it includes sods, specialty coffee, milkshakes, alcohol!!! Don't pre buy the drink package, it is a little cheaper day of cruise on board.

Watch out for those stairs in rear on deck 7. Go from 7 to 6 back there and you'll be at a dead end. You'll have to go right back up to deck 7 to get anywhere. Made that mistake three times including the last night of the cruise.

Make sure you have motion sickness pills/oils/bracelets on hand if you are prone to motion sickness. Green apples are also said to help! The One5 may take a day or two to get rolling, but once it does it's super fun to dance, listen, visit, and just hang out! Xtasea is great!

This cruise is good for those that just want to sit around and look at the water. This would not be good for those that like to stay busy and active. I would recommend this for an older crowd or those that like to lay around and read/drink.

We were not aware that days at sea can be very windy and cold. The shops did not have enough merchandise (sweatshirts and jackets). I did hear some passenger complaints about "nickel and diming". I would suggest that some arrangement be made to print boarding passes without an additional charge.
