Our 3rd “Once in a Lifetime World Cruise”. (no, that doesn't get old) To
date we have been to all 7 continents including 82 countries visited together
and IF we hit all countries on this WC it will be 90 countries. 38 States so
far. We hope to hit the rest of the States after we return next year.
So far, 41 cruises and 484 days at sea…..
We look forward to our new adventure!
Looking forward to seeing friends we have met on prior cruises and looking forward to meeting new friends and sadly missing old friends that had to cancel this cruise. (way too many)
We are packed and ready to go! I will post on sea days as I can and will include photo links since internet is slow and costly. As a reminder, please be kind with typos, misspellings or outright mistakes I make, this is just my personal journal to keep track of our travels and for friends and family to follow along. I don't profess that it is interesting or great writing. I will add photos once I return home, but will include the links as I get them uploaded.

The Pacific Princess, at 30,277-tons and 680-passengers was
acquired in 2002 from now-defunct Renaissance Cruises and are by far the
smallest ships in Princess' fleet. The size of the ship affords access into
some smaller cruise ports without use of a tender. (though there are always a few tender ports)
from our 2017 WC embarkation
Here is the deck plan of the ship:
Deck 3 (tender deck)
Deck 4 Medical center, shore excursion desk, passenger
services
Deck 5 Cabaret Lounge, bar, casino, photo gallery, shops,
future cruise desk, club bar, club restaurant
Deck 5 all cabins
Deck 7 laundry - our cabin is on this deck
Deck 8 all cabins
Deck 9 spa, steam rooms, beauty salon, fitness center,
internet café, pool bar & pool & hot tubs, bandstand, BBQ, pizza,
Panorama buffet.
Deck 10 Pacific Lounge, dance floor & stage, jogging
track, library, Sabatinis and Sterling Steakhouse, bar
Deck 11 Sun Deck, shuffleboard, golf practice cage
