Chose this cruise because it was short enough...8 days, but 3 days were week-end, so meant only 5 days off work on vacation. Plus it offered 4 Sea days and those are always so relaxing with an opportunity to enjoy all the on-board activities and entertainment. And better still, it visited 3 caribbean islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao (ABC), with about 12 hours in port on each island! In Curacao and Aruba we had to be back on board at 9.30pm...giving us the opportunity to enjoy the warm evening breezes and cocktails on the island. Residents spoke English clearly and were all friendly.

It also had great feed back from other Cruise Critic members who had done this cruise previously.

The price was right, the itinerary was great and the cruise line (Princess Cruises) is one of my favourites. Read more
