My guess is that you have not been to Europe, Asia, Africa, South America or or Australia. I believe the short hops thru the caribean and alaska trips take a birth certificate. Why not get a proper passport and open up the world?

Some people cannot get a passport because of old child support fees like from 35 years ago.

Yes! They do have their own version of the charm bracelet you are talking about, DH bought me one on our last cruise. I looked up the type you have on line and I am pretty sure the Princess charms will fit. Mine is silver and it comes with one charm to start that has the Princess Sea Witch Logo. I also have a charm with whale tails and a sail boat. There are also charms that have the colored beads with different patterns, etc. I am looking forward to my next cruise in April so I can buy more. The prices vary, sorry I can't remember exactly but they were not very espensive.:D

I want one too lol!

we are cruising on the freedom on feb 3rd. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on things we have to bring. I know sun screen! Lol

what do you guys always bring??

Thanks!

bug spray sand fleas killer lol:d

They did not have the adults only bungalow when I rented a bungalow so I do not know anyhting about them. I do need to let you know one important thing. Make sure to take BUG SPRAY!! Put this on immediately without hesitation. My friend had over 100 bites and it ruined the rest of her vacation. I have never seen anything like it before. I put the spray on immediately when we arrived at the bungalow so I had no bites. She waited about 10 minutes and it was too late.

what kind is best for sand fleas;)

Thank you so much for this information. I haven't been to Princess Cays since 2001 and had forgotten some of these things :)

cool:cool:

I've been reluctant to post this for quite a while because I would hate to see what I'm about to tell you about be disrespected. But after as much research as I've been able to do with absolutely nothing found, I thought I'd put it out there and maybe someone has an answer. Last April when we stopped at Princess Cays on our cruise on the Star Princess, I decided to take a walk. We've visited PC a couple of times before, and I wanted to see what the beach was like to the south of the Princess area. I knew from previous visits that it was very rocky initially and that sandals were needed to get past the rocks - I'm sure this is why there were no footprints on the beach after I got past the rocks. I walked for about a half mile, then noticed a clearing in the bushes above the beach and what appeared to be the remains of a foundation of a house. And there were two other cement structures. When I walked up to them I realized they were graves! They are very crude, above the ground, with barely legible, crude round cement markers attached. Now here's what I would really like to know. The names on each were of women, one who died at about age 19 in late 1930's, the other who died at age 26 a couple of years later. The last names were not the same, but judging from how they were set at a certain angle very close to the edge of the beach, right next to each other, I had to conclude that they must have known each other and been buried that way in that location for reason. Other people had obviously discovered them, because a few shells and pieces of coral had been placed on the graves out of respect, I imagine. What could this mean? How did they die at such a young age, and why were they placed together in that spot? I tried to do as much research as possible about the history of Eluethera and discover anything about these women but came up totally empty. For what it's worth, if you zoom in on that end of Eluethera (Princess Cays) on Google Earth, you can make out the remains of a road and the clearing, but it appears to overgrown and not used. So...at the very least I think this has the makings of a good novel! In any case, if anyone reading this does make the walk down and find the graves, please be respectful. Any information anyone might have is appreciated.

you being a man this thought would not come to you first" birthing no doc no care if they needed cescarian section no equiptment to do it or if they tried infection set in. a lot of women and babies die But it could have been fever too but most likley birthing problems.:(

The system of upgrades is a closely guarded secret. No one has ever mentioned really knowing how it is done. Rumors have it related to demand for cabins- low demand in a higher level cabin will generate upgrades. But how they decide you get it, and I don't is closely held.

 

15 cruises, never a hint of an upgrade.

Have you been on the Ruby Princess?
