Day 1
Embarkation day . arrived at port everglades at 10.30 from hotel , prefered passenger line was short so a quick check in and moved to prefered seating area to await boarding . these areas are small confined corridors and rooms could do with upgrading but not princess fault .
11.30 and were on ship and in our cabin L124 inside cabin .
set in queen bed configuration small but enough room for us to enjoy . the side on cabins feel bigger .
been on the royal her sister twice so ship set up is known to us , we like these ships large but enough room to not feel crowded ,
A great sail away and were Caribbean bound
Day 1 is princess cays , princess private island in the Bahamas,
We rent a clamshell $30.00 for the day gives protection from the high sun and 2 sun loungers inside for comfort , were at the waterside . this is a great way to start our cruise . chilling and watching the world from a great beach .
princess brings all the food for their B.B.Q over from the ship by tender , the staff are great as usual , everyone has a smile and cant do enough for you .
12.00 and we have to sample the great food , beef burger and a salad will do till we have supper tonite in horizon court .
after a full day on the beach its back to ship and relax before heading out up into the open decks for a relaxing nite ,
we eat in horizon court and have a great meal . princess changes the theme every nite .
Day 2 is a sea day . we enjoy these relaxing and watching the world sail by from sun deck 17.
Day 3 is Grand Turk , a first time visit to this island for us so we stay local and go try Margaritaville , Fun in the sun . lots of fun laughter and people .
we go into the shops in the local area and buy some gifts for home . a good day had by all .
Day 4 is Grand Caymen . a tender port and an old friend been here a few times . nice little town to enjoy a walk along the front and people watch , theres 4 ships in msc , us and 2 carnival ships so town is busy . we had a few drinks in the cuban cigar bar , please remember the prices are in Bahiemian dollars not U.S ., chatted to a few italians about M.S.C .
Day 5 is Cozumel again we have been here a few times done the mayan ruins and local margarita trips well worth it if its your first time , we are docked in the port away from the main town as theres 7 ships in today.
we have a quiet walk around the port shops and watch the local mariachi band singing in the square . there are a nice couple of friendly bars here with free W.I.F.I , Three Amigo,s or Fat Tuesdays.
Day 6 is a sea day heading back towards port everglades , this is most peoples day to get ready for disembarking . we have had a very relaxing cruise as we intended . the reason for picking the itinery was because we had done most of the islands and excursions we were going to enjoy the ship .
we did only 1 of the 2 formal nights and only been in m.d.r the once also eating most days in the Horizon Court or Alfredos as the food is really good and informal .
These ships are really resorts on their own merit . fantastic lounges and great places to eat .
day 7 Week one of our cruise is over as we berth back in port everglades .
we have had a great cruise , met great cruisers and staff , this is why we love princess we feel at home amongst like minded folks
