Just returned from a cruise to and through the Panama Canal. We, happily, are Platinum Passengers with Princess, so boarding, and disembarking went very smoothly. Our cabin was ready when we boarded, that was grand too.
We generally unpack, then take a walking tour around the ship, and familiarize ourselves with it. Did the same with this cruise. The cabin was small, not a big surprise, we've been on this size ship before. However, it was on the 7th deck, close to the action, dining room, theater, and other specialty things, Art Studio, two specialty restaurants, and only one floor above the shops. Good cabin PR723.
Our cabin Steward, Glenn, was a delight to work with. He did an excellent job of tidying up everyday, and always providing supplies, when they ran out. He also always had the greatest smile on his face, and greeted us nicely whenever he saw us. You'd be lucky to have him for your Steward!
Small, but cozy and located in the perfect area of the ship.
Took Tequila Tour. Good tour, in restaurant, not at factory, but done nicely.
Took Princess tour, but took private tour with Princess Tour Guide. He showed us many places, and brought us to a delicious restaurant for lunch, thank you David!
Disembarked, took a short walk around the port area, and got back onboard. A little too humid and hot for us.
Never docked there, issues with the local population, and Captian felt it was not a good idea to stop.
