During the Memorial Day Weekend the decision was made to go on a cruise. My wife and I had never been on a cruise but had heard wonderful stories from relatives who had been.
My brother in law and wife had strongly recommended Princess Cruises, so after 3 days of studying everything there was to know about cruises, We decided on the Crown Princess.
We left our home in NJ about 11am and arrived at the terminal at 12:15pm. Everything about embarkation was totally organized and well laid out. We drove to the ship,dropped off our luggage and parked our car (cost $164) and entered the terminal building. We were on the ship by 12:45pm.
