The cruise we had to reschedule for is, unfortunately, over Easter...who would think that a 10 day Panama Canal would attract families? On the other board, practically every poster has kids, and several have teens in cabins not even close to them. They all say that their kids are great and if they misbehave they will be in BIG trouble....

Oh that's too bad, Dobie! THE NERVE of you husband's delivery driver!!!

Oh well....I hope Georgette reports so we can live this cruise vicariously through her until we get to go!!

Yes...I agree...who'd have thought there'd be so many kids on the Panama Cruise. Good Luck with the parents even KNOWING whether they misbehave or not!!

Jill, I am thinking positively......

someone told me that Princess has a new teen deck patrol (or something like that), so I sure hope it is under control.....actually, as long as they keep them out of the Lotus Pool and stop the running up and down the corridors tearing down door signs, etc, I think we'll be OK.....

It will probably be fine, Dobie.....when we were on the CB, they definitely kept an eye on the teens while the parents relaxed. They are all vacation after all. ~~ Not that the parents shouldn't be laying down the rules and enforcing them...but it's impossible for them to know what their kids are doing 24/7. I thought the teen patrol was subtle and friendly...while also doing their job to make everyone's cruise more enjoyable.

We're going to be on the Coral May 3rd. Can hardly wait. we're loyal Princess cruisers, and it's been 4 yrs since our last trip on the Sea Princess.

We've tried other cruises but we're coming back to Princess. Sure hope that we won't be disappointed.

We're doing the 19 day repo cruise from Ft Lauderdale through the canal up the west coast to Vancouver

Can hardly wait.

I have friends who are doing that cruise!! We were unable to join them because of the cost of the airfare.....we met a great group on the Island in March, and a bunch of them are going to be on the May 3 sailing..

Dobie, tell your friends that we have a great thread going on "cruise critics" We've been chatting since last march

Always looking for more people to join.

Too bad that you can't join us. As we live in Vancouver we only needed 1 way air. Our pkg came with the air,and 1st night hotel.
Sure looking forward to it.

You probably already know them, then.....Tom and Mary, and their newlywed daughter.. and Christine who had to cancel, and Ann and Al........

We were so sorry we couldn't do it, bu the airfare was prohibitive!!!
