Thanks Char.

Will do. It's going to be great! Have been planning this for a year (with DJGifford's help).

Dolores is a gem!

She is on a cruise right now, herself.

Have decided that a 14 day cruise is just about perfect, time-wise. Sad to leave the ship, but ready to be home too.

Trip was awesome!! Huatulco Sail & Swim was our favorite excursion, (booked thru Princess) and our shopping trip in Aruba.

The Coral Princess is just as beautiful as we remembered. Entertainment was really quite good. Food was good but not as great as our memories. Didn't stop us though. Tried the Bayou Cafe for the first time (Thank You Dolores). It was wonderful. No one told us not to eat that day and we left, I should say waddled, out after finishing the meal with the fantastic Fried Peach Pie. Room service, we made use of this a couple of times for both lunch and breakfast, was exceptional. Everyone on the ship made you feel welcomed and appreciated.

The Canal transit was the highlight, besides my new jewelry of course. Our transit started at 6 am and continued all day. We saw the last of it around 6:30 pm. So glad we were able to experience it.

Princess has the absolute best embarkation and disembarkation procedures, in our opinion. Both were unbelievably smooth and quick.
