Getting there: AA flight to Dallas almost leaves on time, but doesn't, but no matter: US carriers typically build in extra flight time so their performance records look better.
How, I wonder, can airline cabin crew remain dedicated to their jobs when virtually everything they do makes passengers even grumpier?
After five hours in the air from Dallas, passengers applaud when the aircraft ...
Just for info: We were on Emerald last year and it was so lovely we decided to do another Princess cruise this year with some extended family members. Quick review of Caribbean Princess:
- Flew into Sun Juan on same day of sailing. No problem. Took Princess transfer, worked fine.
- We boarded around 3:00 - waited a little, but not too bad - i've seen worse.
- Stayed on Lido Deck in ...
When looking for a spring break cruise, as a teacher, I tried to find a ship with some "adult-only" amenities and thought the itinerary might be less 'kid-friendly' than the Western Caribbean ports. Don't get me wrong, I love kids, just not while on a break from them! My review isn't about the kids, it's about the ship and the cruise. Embarkation and disembarkation was really smooth. Before we got ...
Review of Caribbean Princess Cruise from San Juan to Southern Caribbean, April 25, 2010 - May 2, 2010
We are experienced cruisers and have cruised on Carnival three times and Royal Caribbean twice. Check-in at the pier was flawless and fast. Being able to bring wine and water onboard was a huge plus and having the duty-free store right there made it real simple.
Embarkation was fairly simple. ...
This was our 10th cruise, our 3rd on Princess and we are a married couple in our late 40's. We were a little worried about cruising during spring break time but never saw more than a handful of kids on board - no problem at all. Also, although others have mentioned it, we didn't notice an unusual number of locals on board and everyone we met, of any race or nationality, was polite and ...
Picked up a Carribean Princess cruise out of San Juan, PR. First let me say that San Juan was breathtaking, and it made for some very beautiful photos. The embarkation process was smooth and we were able to get on board at noon. Dropped off our bags and spent the first day sight seeing in Old San Juan. Things have improved drastically in Old San Juan since my first (and only) cruise prior to this ...
The reason we chose this cruise was because of timing - were limited to travelling Feb 15th week due to work restrictions. My husband and I travelled with our best friends - another couple in their 50's. We had cruised out of San Juan two years ago on a Royal Caribbean cruise and thoroughly enjoyed it so decided to try Princess, again, out of San Juan.
What we liked about Princess: We really ...
We booked this cruise to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. We had taken a cruise on RCL for our honeymoon and thought a cruise for our 10 year anniversary was a great way to celebrate our marriage. We chose this cruise because of the number of ports of call along with an expectation that Princess was equal or better than RCL. While we had a very good time, we just thought that our ...
We booked through Internet Agency.... They couldn't tell us that when a 14 days trip is composed by two loops passing through the same embarkation point (San Juan) - in fact is about 2 sequential cruises merged together with the same starting point - San Juan - Puerto Rico.....
How much hassle we got when after first 7 days we received in our mail box by the door that we have to pack everything ...
We sailed on the Crown 2 years ago, which is almost identical to the Caribbean Princess, so we were able to find our way around easily. The ship was beautiful, well maintained and our cabin was spacious enough, with plenty of storage space. The bed was comfortable, and the room was quiet. Edmond took care of our room, did a great job, and was always friendly and greeted us with a smile. He was ...
