I attended the christening of the Carnival Dream in 2009 and after that visit I’ve wanted to go back to spend more time on this beautiful ship. Since she is leaving Port Canaveral to go to New Orleans I decided I’d better get a trip in before she left. I did enjoy the ship […]

Caribbean Princess Southern Caribbean Cruise Highlights For my last family vacation we did a Southern Caribbean cruise on the Caribbean Princess out of Ft Lauderdale’s Port Everglades. I like Port Everglades a lot for cruises because it is so easy to get around in town and to the ships themselves. Taxis are easy to get

Princess Cruise Line – Caribbean Princess – Chef’s Table Dining One thing I really enjoy on cruise ships is the Chef’s Table and other extra-cost specialty dining events. On Princess Cruise Line, the Chef’s Table is an extra cost event of $95 per person (subject to change without notice) where guests are ‘wined and dined’

Today we were at Hilo, on the Big Island. We had rented a car from Thrifty so went out to wait on their shuttle. Like we’d seen on Maui, there is nothing near the port so it’s not like you can easily walk to the shops. We took the car up to Hawaii Volcanoes National

Today was Maui, which I was really looking forward to since one of my co-workers had lived there and talked about its beauty. We hit the buffet, and yes, it was Walmart on sale! Like everyone else, we wanted to eat and get off the ship so we could start exploring. We had rented a

Check in at the cruise terminal was by far the easiest and nicest I’ve ever gone through. There weren’t a ton of people getting on, probably since the ship didn’t leave until later in the day and a lot of people weren’t there yet, but the immigration people in the terminal were actually extremely
