I have never cruised with Princess and only with Cunard once.Yes,I prefer RCI than being in a terminal which should not be used for anything other than cruising.
It will be in the 50’s next week.My daughter who lives in upstate NY with her husband ERIC expected below zero temperatures there this morning but it was 4 above.
We found that people who cruise on the Grandeur tend to return.We met a couple on our 2017 cruise and became very good friends.We met a couple on our 2018 cruise and became good friends with them and we are e-mail friends with a couple we met on a 2015 cruise.
You are very likely in the minority .Having said that I must admit that when I was younger I felt that way too.Every December in the 1980’s my wife and I would do upstate with friends to partake in winter sports.
