Our Cruising Experience

We've been cruising with Princess for the last 10 years.  We haven't had the urge to cruise with another line.  We originally chose Princess for their itineraries.  Our first two cruises originated out of San Juan, Puerto Rico.  The next one was a 14-day cruise out of Ft Lauderdale where we literally didn't come back into Ft Lauderdale until the 14th day!  That was an amazing cruise and unfortunately Princess no longer does this type of itinerary.  We're glad to have experienced such a wonderful cruise.

Since we enjoyed our 14-day cruise so much, we went back to San Juan and did two 7-day cruises (back-to-back (B2B)).  One week we did the Southern Caribbean itinerary and the next week the Eastern Caribbean.  It was neat to do a "turnaround" in port and not have to change cabins.

As experienced cruisers, it's hard for us to cruise just 7-days on a ship.  Our vacation time feels too short.  Our minimum is now 10-days.  It's just the right amount of time though longer cruises are also ideal for us.

There were times when I did research itineraries from other cruise lines, but still came back and booked with Princess.  It just feels like being "home".

Getting Ready for Another Cruise!

We're still in the Holiday spirit and at the same time getting ready for our next cruising adventure.

We will be on a 14-day adventure somewhere in the Caribbean.  A B2B cruise.  Fourteen days of fun in the sun!  

We haven't been on this particular Princess cruise ship before.  This will be our 5th Princess ship and our 10th Princess cruise!  We've already been on the Golden, Sea, Crown, and Emerald.  

We've been watching our ship cruising for the last few weeks.  There have been issues with the ship leaving and/or arriving on time from the port of origination.  It's the weather that's been playing havoc on the cruising schedule.  We're prepared...to have fun no matter what.  

We've decided to participate in formal nights and will have to pack our formal wear.  This will result in packing and bringing an additional suitcase.  Three in total.  Somehow we'll manage.

We haven't been to our destination city before.  A new adventure.  Many places to explore and many places to eat.  

Our list has been updated and I'm ready to start packing.  It's time to gather our snorkel gear and the rest of our cruising stuff.  

We'll post more about our cruise over the next few days!  Stay tuned!
