So relaxing aboard a ship. From my Navy days, loved the aft view. Every real cruise recently has been an aft cabin overlooking the ships wake. Beautiful!!

December 2018 - 7 Night Eastern Caribbean (Ft. Lauderdale Roundtrip) Cruise on Royal Princess

Anther Great Princess Adventure

So relaxing and enjoyable. First time cruising solo as my travel partner was stuck in a foreign country on a business venture. I did things I have wanted to do in the past, and tried some a couple new adventures. The Princess crew is a delight. A secret pleasure is watching old Love Boat episodes on-board. Only four were available on TV, but nice memories. Looking forward to my next adventure in March.

One design negative (IMO). Not so private balconies.

Docked at St Maarten. Topside, MUTS and daytime entertainment screen.

Cruise tips

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

No excursions. Stayed on the ship. Been here before. Read many reviews about staying aboard. Tried it - liked it.

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

Just stayed at the Embassy Suites prior to the cruise. Did not visit other attractions. Airport, hotels, port are all so close and convenient.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

Still rebuilding from the hurricanes earlier this year.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Beautiful port with many shopping avenues.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Megan's Bay. So pristine! Many changes and such more expensive than my Navy visit in 1979, but still such a beautiful beach. Love it!

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

The Zip Line excursion was fantastic. First time for both of us. Great fun, with terrific memories and pictures. Six lines, two bridges - great workers at the zip line stations. Oh, and did I mention the grand views??

Grand Turk Island

From all the comments - I will be trying Jack's Shack this December. Last year did the horse land/water ride. I am proud to say I did not fall off in the ocean (or the land portion). Wife LOVED the experience and she will probably repeat in December. Bruno Art Gallery - impressive items.
