I purchased our Southern Caribbean cruise last March directly with Princess for our Jan 02/09 cruise. With Great advice from CC roll call members I was able to secure a great reduction 2 months prior to sailing .So roll calls do help !!!We were on Caribe deck forward near elevators .Loved Caribe balconies for early morning breakfast and late night star gazing and sunset watching. We stayed in Fll on Jan 1 at a La Quinta Inn in FLL after a lively New Year's Party the night before.Left Burlington Vermont on Jet Blue at 11;30 .Flights were bought last May and were much cheaper then out of Montreal.My only complaint is that Jet blue changed our return flights 7 times .WE ended up leaving FLL at 5 pm so took a Princess tour of Everglades and Flamingo Gardens .Really enjoyed it so our delay was OK .Jet blue personnel was real Cool about my excess luggage .I repacked at the airport and redistributed all weight .They let me use their scale to check each bag .VERY ACCOMMODATING ,GOOD JOB JET BLUE!!!!.Now get rid of FEES for second bag and I will be REAL pleased !!!.I paid those and we were off
