* I mentioned I am going on a cruise.. well, I can give a little more info the closer we get..we're going on a 4 day Princess Cruise on February 2nd. I've never been on Princess, so this will be a new one on me!
They're quite a bit bigger than the Holland America ships-I never get enough time to explore the ship when I'm on it, and we're going to have a sea day right before we get back to port so that day is going to be dedicated to exploring the ship!
Since I've only been on one(two if you count the other short cruise we went on when I was a teenager;I didn't care for it) it'll be interesting to contrast and compare-it seems like there is a lot to do-shopping, shows, and the like-I am always up for going to the casino when I'm on a cruise ship :)) and also, the food. The ship we're going on has several specialty restaraunts(extra charge.) I've never been, but everyone raves about the Pinnacle Grill and the Tamarind(which is only on a couple of the Holland America ships) and the Canaletto which kind of is a specialty restaraunt(it's in part of the Lido) and which used to be free, but now there's a charge for it, and apparently,now that there is a charge for it, the quality of the food is not nearly as good.
*My new favourite food combo: smoked almonds and dried cherries.I can't explain why it's so good, it just is!
