Caribbean Princess 11/12/06 Sailing. We live in Tampa FL and drove to Ft. Lauderdale the day prior to departure. We were a group of 10 consisting of family and friends. With the exception of 1 person who this was their first cruise we were all seasoned veterans of cruising. I personally have cruised 8 times with Princess and 16 times in total. One couple in our group has completed 16 Princess Cruises and 36 in total.
We stayed at the Hampton Inn Ft. Lauderdale Airport North on Saturday night. It was clean and comfortable and they will let you park for the week for an additional $15 and shuttle you back and forth from the ship! Great Deal!
Embarkation was as expected; no real surprises and we were off to our rooms for a fun week.
