San Francisco to Ft. Lauderdale on the red eye flight the day before. Too long a flight. Returned the rental car to the airport and caught the Princess shuttle to the ship. Goodness, what an impressive ship she is too! Arrived at Port Everglades at noon and were at our cabin by 12:30. Dropped off our carry-ons and headed out exploring. We have sailed on the Diamond, Sapphire and Golden to the ship's layout made sense to us.

First stop, Princess Cays. Loved how clean they keep the island, and how easy it was to get snorkeling gear, clam shell set up and drinks. Could we just vacation on that island?????

St. Thomas - great shopping - Good Friday St. Kitts - colorful, friendly Barbados - closed for Easter Sunday - stayed mostly on the ship St. Lucia - closed for Monday after Easter. Didn't book any tours so we went back to the ship fairly soon. Antigua - Dock area touristy (as are all the ports) walked into town. Lots of photos taken. St. John's Church was interesting too.
