In amongst the reviews listed here ( mostly 4&5 stars) there are a few 2 and 3 star reviews that basically say the trip was great but Princess does not meet expectations. I am afraid that I am in agreement with this group and that is the reason for the low rating. I would do this tour again in a heart beat but not with Princess.

Fort Lauderdale:

We arrived a day early and stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Sail/Fly on SW 24th street (W. State Rd 84 ). For the price they include airport pick-up, full breakfast and shuttle service to the Cruise terminals. (Call them when you get to the airport for pick-up). There is a strip mall across the street that has a clothing store, grocery store and "Big Daddy's Liquor Store" for all your pre-cruise needs. Big Daddy is more than happy to hand out free samples for you to try so be carful crossing the street afterwards. Down the street is a big Walgreen drugstore and on the same side there is a German Restaurant called the "Old Heidelberg". Some reviews have suggested that it's the best German restaurant in Florida.
