My husband & I sailed the Caribbean Princess April 22-29th and had a fabulous time! We are in our early 30's and this was our 9th cruise. We had a 7 am flight out of Detroit on Spirit.

The ride to the port was quick and easy, make sure you have your ID with you (not in the trunk) as you will need for the quick stop at the Port Authority booth.

We arrived at the CB about 11 am and we were given #5 and then let into a waiting area. They opened the doors to check in about 11:50 am and we were in our cabin by 12:15. We have sailed NCL, RCCL, Princess and Carnival and this was the fastest embarkation we have ever experienced!
