Upcoming cruises
Past cruises
December 2019 - 3 Night Sky Princess Inaugural Getaway (Ft .Lauderdale Roundtrip) Cruise on Sky Princess
Visited Princess Cay for the first time
The Sky is a great ship to cruise on being new and it will get better as the experience of the crew increases.
November 2019 - 21 Night Mediterranean Grand Adventure (Rome To Ft. Lauderdale) Cruise on Sky Princess
May 2019 - 4 Night Western Caribbean Getaway (Ft. Lauderdale Roundtrip) Cruise on Caribbean Princess
We had a way to see the Caribbean Princess
A short 4 night trip after the Caribbean Princes came out of a yard period. It was a great way to preview the ship before we take a 10 day Panama Canal trip next year. Medallion Cruising will be the wave of the future for Princess and this was a gtrat learning experience for us. We are looking forward to our future cruises already booked and ones that might peak our interest.
November 2018 - 7 Night Eastern Caribbean (Miami Roundtrip) Cruise on Norwegian Bliss
Ho Hum Ship
Be prepared for long waits for eating due to the dining staff being short staffed. We rate things as will we go back and we will most likely not look for going back to the Bliss, Be prepared to make reservations before the cruise and on embarkation go to the Social to complete any reservation that are not on the NCL web page. We went to buy unlimited go cart tickets and had to go back to the Social after going up to the track. This ship is huge so expect with small elevators at the forward and aft locations in the ship. The crew has closed off portions of the decks and stairs around the go cart track which limits access to the 5 hole mini gold course. You actually go to the 5th hole to pick your ball and putter then walk through the course to get to hole 1. If others are playing, you are walking through their game.

Cruise tips
Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)
First time there and we enjoyed going ashore. An ok beach to walk on and have lunch away from the ship.
Caribbean Princess
Sign up to receive you cruise medallions early and not wait to pick them up at the port. Load the apps tp your smart phone as soon as possible. There are kiosks at most of the stairs to help you find places and provide directions and when you select the 2-D option you can use your fingers to expand the map. .
Norwegian Bliss
Take a credit card sized card to keep the AC on when out of the cabin, European style where you need to insert in a holder.
