July 2022 - 7 Night Eastern Caribbean (Ft. Lauderdale Roundtrip) Cruise on Celebrity Infinity
If you've seen one Caribbean port, you have seen them all.
Overall, a very nice cruise, but I'm done with more caribbean
Cruises. Same old. Same old.
July 2022 - 7 Night Eastern Caribbean With St. Kitts (Ft. Lauderdale Roundtrip) Cruise on Caribbean Princess
T Shirts and Jerky treats
Been there. Done that. Too many times.
All Caribbean cruise ports are the same. T shirts, 'approved' shops. Same old hustle everywhere. It soon becomes less vacation and more of an endurance test.
November 2021 - 12 Night Westward Quest (Lisbon To Miami) Cruise on Azamara Quest
Disappointing
We wanted to book a future cruise but had to name a specific cruise and date to do so. Other cruise lines allow an open ended
future cruise which we needed to do because we have many other future cruises already booked. In addition, because of all
our problems on this cruise, we decided to forego any future Azamara cruises.
It also took us a week to get our onboard account available and straightened out. There were also many, many, miscommunications from Azamara. No one seemed to know what was going on and as a consequence we missed many on board events.

Cruise tips
Young students were out of school to greet us when the ship arrived. They offered help (in English) with any questions we might have and for their opportunity to practice English. So impressive! We also met new friends on this cruise and we all wandered around Chinatown and found some great Japanese sea delicasies in various small restaurants. Streets were spotlessly clean and everyone was so courteous and helpful. So much to see and do safely.
No excursions.
A nice excursion across the line with a certificate for completion.
No excursions. Just wandered around the warehouse district. Very enjoyable.
Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia
No excursions. One night over prior to cruise.
Small quaint town. Enjoyed wandering and visiting a second hand shop. Attended a nice church service and visited with locals.
Celebrity Millennium
We particularly liked the smaller size of the ship and the multiple buffet station.
Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
More T shirt shops, etc. Again!
More T shirt shops, 'approved' stores, etc.
Another T shirt stop with Diamonds International, etc. Not much else. Everyone was exceptionally friendly, and helpful. For the first time in my life, the cab driver did not try to rip me off! Only about 10 shops in a small cluster 'in town'. Not much here except beaches, beach chairs, and umbrellas.
Celebrity Infinity
Very accommodationg for special diets.
T shirts, Diamonds International, etc., AGAIN!

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)
A big nothing unless you have never seen sand beaches.
Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida
Embark and Debark. That's all.
Caribbean Princess
Bring your own breakfast.
