  1. I read your posting with great interest. My wife and I always book an aft cabin, not on the side, but truely on the aft. Without knowing when you booked the cruise, it may have been possible that the cabin you have was the only port side balcony available. It would not have mattered if you booked with Princess or a cruise specialist, they would have had the same selection. The Coral Princess does not have true aft cabins, meaning the cabins are truely on the aft(the rear end).

     

    Getting back to the aft, as I mentioned earlier, my wife and I always book the true aft cabin. We find it to be totally relaxing. The beauty and colors of the wake of the ship, the sound of the water and the panoramic views. We sometimes chock our balcony door open at night so we can just hear the water.

     

    We just recently took a 9 night cruise on the Caribbean Princess (RT New York) and had a true aft cabin, there is nothing more spectacular than cruising out of NY harbor and then under the Verazano Narrows Bridge. Also, when you leave each port you have this panoramic view of the ports.

     

    We are cruising the Emerald Princess July 7 '11 on a 11N Scandanavian cruise, then moving on to a 12N Med cruise on the new Carnival Magic July 24 '11, and guess what, we are in a true aft cabins for both cruises.

     

    Aft cabins are not for everyone, but for us, there is no cabin like it. Try one once, I'm sure you will always take a true aft again.

     

    Enjoy your cruise on the Ruby!!

    We always try to book aft cabins for the reason stated above but one other advantage is they are very private not alot of foot traffic on them. Enjoy
  2. O.K. O.K I will give this up. You can use what ever you have, but, start with a bottle of Cab. or Merlot, add to that 4 shots of brandy, 2 shots of rum, add 3 tbl. of sugar. Squeeze 1/2 of orange and cut up the rind and add to wine mixture, do the same with 1/2 lemon and 1/2 lime. the real key to the the Sangria on the Sun is APPLES, APPLES AND APPLES. Peel 2 small apples and dice, add that to the mix and chill overnight. I know its hard not to sample but letting it blend flavors is important. Double it up for super bowl weekend. Enjoy Snowman

  3. Try Larrys Limo, we used them last year and they are are great. We have them booked in 2 weeks. We went from Bayside Marketplace to Port Everglades and it was $55.00 and the taxi was $65.00 go figure. I would suggest that you just take a taxi from the airport to the Holiday Inn as it is only around $20.00 or less. I think Larrys Limo web site just Larryslimo. Com but I am not sure. The "Snowman" has spoken.
