    No way! I was ON that entire 33 day cruise! But I didn't come across this CZcams channel until recently so I wouldn't have recognized you if I saw you. The weather was incredible for us- hardly any rain the entire voyage. It was my first Princess cruise. The shower is the smallest in the fleet. Sapphire Princess's had just slightly larger size. I love Princess, but never again the Island Princess. I'm into getting my cardio in, just like you, but I am a fitness center user. On the Island Princess it is a walled-in sweatbox way below on Deck 6.

    Definitely have been wondering what you've been up to... I know this Fire and Ice TA was back in May/June, so guess the delay is because you've been very busy enjoying life -- maybe exploring more of Europe? This is a cruise that's still on our list to take. We've done 8 TA's (to Med and Baltic), but not this one. Also have sailed entire Norwegian coast - but in middle of winter. Time to experience Midnight Sun instead of Polar Night.
