I'm guessing the internet was working as poorly as it did for us in the winter Panama Canal cruise on the Panama to Mexico coast.

Missing your updates Panda Bear. Hope all is well.

Enjoying your posts! We were on the Ruby for the San Francisco to Galveston in December and had a great time as well. Feeling nostalgic. 

How is the Cruise Director/staff? They were lots of fun on our cruise and there was lots of participation by staff and officers and passengers.

As a lurker on your world cruises for many years just wanted to say thank you for all of your effort. It is appreciated and enjoyed.

Our bid for the 12/2 Ruby Princess sailing just accepted last evening. 🛳️

We are not elite, or casino or any other extra special Princess category (plain old gold and don't gamble and balcony cabin). Our next Princess cruise is Panama Canal 16 days. With 10 sea days Plus is a no brainer especially in light that our 10 day repositioning cruise on RCL in April and what we paid for equivalent packages on RCL (they don't bundle very efficiently) we are paying the same for 16 days on Princess that we paid for 10 days on RCL. YMMV

On my first (and only, to date) Princess cruise, I was having terrible headaches. An experienced cruiser let me know that Princess made their coffee from syrup, so I was having caffeine withdrawal! Is this really still the case? May have to look into buying a coffee package after all if this is the case 😭

Coffee on Princess is horrible unless you pay extra. I don't know if they still do this (we took a long hiatus from cruising) but spouse always bought a coffee card. 

Why didn't you use the Carnival guarantee and just leave?
