Thanks all ... I'm holding a balcony cabin on Princess for Apr 1st in the end at least for now. I have til Jan 1 to truly decide but I'm leaning towards going. It a decent deal in Canadian dollars and included drinks and wifi and tips and little $200 U.S. onboard credit. I didn't really care that much where it went my plan was to just sit at a bar at the back and watch us sail away from wherever.
