I think you are confusing Princess with Holland America. We are active 55 and 56. Varied demographic as mentioned above. Our age on 7-10 day. Younger 40's on 7 day cruises.

I enjoy the food in the MDR and think it is quite good generally. The specialty restaurants are a dining experience. The food is top quality, the service is excellent. There is attention to detail. The upcharge is worth every penny. On land, we go out for dinner once a week at reasonably priced restaurants. But, every once in awhile we spend the extra to go to a very good restuarant. We treat the time on the ship the same. It is a holiday and we enjoy the special treatment in the specialty restaurants. If it is within your budget, try it. The worst that can happen is you feel the extra $50 for a couple was not worth it and you won't do it again.

"big gulp" plastic cup for ice tea and soda

12 16oz hot cups for morning coffee

100 $1 bills for tips etc

we are returning to the Caribbean and made sure we stop in Dominica to go out with Woody again. Yes, you read that correctly. One of the requirements of the cruise we booked 4was it had to have a stop in Dominica.

We will be in Stockholm the first week of September for about 3 days. Can you recommend an itinerary. We think we would like to spend a day at or on the archepelgo. Is it too late in the season? We would prefer to keep things at a less than extravagant cost, unless it is a can't be missed activity. Thanks so much.
