stoneharborlady Posted May 6, 2010 #1 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I know this wont make or break anyone else's day, but yesterday I was SO DOWN, as Princess isnt going to the Caribbean from Ft. Lauderdale next summer. Today, I am over the moon, plans in my family changed a bit, and I am now BOOKED on the Crown Princess for next April to the Caribbean. I dont care if there are spring breakers, early hurricanes, or sky high plane fares. I AM GOING. No disrespect to RCI or those who love it, but I so wanted to be on Princess instead, and now I am. Again! Karen, who is doing the Happy Dance! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoser2 Posted May 6, 2010 #4 Share Posted May 6, 2010 We love Princess too - and we're looking at the same time frame and itinerary - we just can't find the right fit yet - the problem is taking our kids along with us! I think we're going to have to do a Carnival cruise with kids and save the Princess experience for the "just the 2 of us" experiences! Have fun with the anticipating!

Pam in CA Posted May 6, 2010 #7 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Congrats! Terrific time to be in the Caribbean. I was on a 10-day R/T out of FLL in early April and we didn't see rain the entire time. The temps weren't too bad, either. Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennygirl Posted May 6, 2010 #14 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I'm actually smiling reading your post. It's amazing what a Princess cruise does to us isnt it? and the fact that you have a year to savor it is great. I believe the anticipation is additional fun along with reading live threads of people who are on the ship youre going on...the pleasure lasts and lasts and lasts. I don't know you, but I'm very happy for you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again! Karen, who is doing the Happy Dance! :) That is great! We have been on the Crown twice in the last 5 months, and it's a wonderful ship and itinerary. April is a great time to sail the Caribbean, the weather is usually quite good. My wife is a teacher, so we cruise spring break times each year and haven't noticed anything different than a cruise at other times. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan It's simply the cost thing - we can afford a balcony for us and an inside for the kids, where we'd be paying substantially more to have 2 inside rooms on Princess....so we'll call it an adventure and Carnival will be new to all 5 of us!

Great news! Glad to see happy cruisers no matter what ship/line. I don't know enough about Carnival to know what balcony to book. So used to Princess, but I guess that is where a good Travel agent comes in to help. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
