My best friend and I just returned on June 10, 2011 from a 15 day Transatlantic cruise from Ft. Lauderdale to Southampton; continuing for another 12 days around the British Isles. Upon returning to Southampton, we boarded the Queen Mary II for the return trip to the U.S.
With few exceptions, the trip was a complete disappointment. From the over all service in every department, to the TSA ...
We cruised for the first time on the Crown Princess in early May and had a great time, with only a few bumps. I'll try to cover all the basics and for me it is mostly about the ports, the trivia, and the great people we meet!On the flight from Los Angeles I met my birthday twin who was also going to be on the Crown Princess celebrating her birthday like me and we shared a cab to the port and ...
We booked a warm Western Caribbean getaway. This was a cruise of firsts for us. Normally just DH and I go on cruises alone but for the first time we decided to cruise with DH's sister and brother-in law. That made the trip more special and fun. This was our first Princess cruise, first Western Caribbean cruise and our first balcony also! Needless to say, we had a great time. The Crown had a ...

This was our first trip on the Crown Princess having previously sailed only on the Coral Princess. Although a fantastic ship the layout felt a little disjointed after knowing Coral Princess so well; however saying that we soon found our way around and got used to where everything was. It was definately still a Princess Ship and everything was where you would expect it to be... ish! (Once we'd ...
This was my first time cruising on the Crown Princess and it started just 48 hours after I returned from an 17 day China adventure ending in San Francisco. I boarded the ship in Ft. Lauderdale and met my wife on board. She had been on the previous week for the last Caribbean cruise of the season. From the time we boarded the ship we met wonderful fellow travelers who we are remaining in touch ...
This was the first leg of our 2 leg Caribbean Cruise. We will do the Eastern on the Emerald after this cruise.
Took the red-eye from SF and arrived in FLL the morning of cruise. After cleaning up and having a barfy breakfast sandwich at the airport, we took a taxi to Total Wine to purchase our vital fluids. Bought several bottles of wine,a six packof soda, tonic water and a bottle each of rum ...
We are multiple cruisers 62(male and female) this being our 13th Princess Cruise. The Weather on this cruise was good with no rain, which is unusual for January. Most days were sunny and around 80. What was different about this cruise was the demographics. "Newly wed and Nearly Dead", the old cruise adage applied, Well maybe not the newlywed part. The average age of cruisers must have been over ...
