Default Golden Princess Cruise Review

I sailed last month on Golden Princess to Canada & New England. A great
itinerary and loved the ship. My review (with photos) starts here...
http://cruisediva.com/Golden_diary_1.htm

A couple things I noted were that the NYC piers are woefully under-manned by
government security people. With FOUR large ships in port the day we
embarked, it was tedious waiting in such a long line. Once past Security, I
was on the ship in under 5 minutes.

Fellow passengers... seldom have I encountered so many grouchy, whining
people. One man in particular stood out... he complained about shore
excursions BEFORE they even started, yet was on an excursion EVERY day.
What's with that?!?

One thing I left out of my review was arrival at JFK for my flight home. Our
bus darn near got stuck under one of the "tunnel" areas and the hatches were
torn off the bus roof when we "squeezed" under. Yikes!!!

Hmmm... that's odd. It's working for me, both from my newsreader and Google.
About all I can think to suggest is to copy and paste the URL into your
browser or go to my homepage and use the link from there.

Excellent review Linda, as I chimed from the Med on her, with the the
elevators wrapped in peuter leaves as a starter. Then to have Graham
tell me the Star is even more lusterous. So we wait for a cruise to a
new port on the Star to check her out.
