This was our second time doing this 10 day Caribbean out of Fort Lauderdale on the Emerald Princess and we enjoyed it thoroughly (with a few minor problems).

Embarkation was a breeze, rooms were ready exceptionally early and lunch was being served as we boarded! Last time we took this cruise in Nov. 2008 I had a relapse of a flu/cold that kept me out of action the entire voyage. This trip was a re-do to see what I had missed. Meeting up with Cruise Critic folks made this voyage so much more enjoyable!

We had some major issues with our cabin steward (only the second time in 27 cruises) but I think it wasn't the norm for this voyage so won't dwell on the negative. Suffice it to say I LOVE Princess. The staff in general are polite, well trained and exceed our expectations. Having a self-serve laundry onboard is the icing on the cake! Read more
