I searched through these boards (although I admit that I'm not very good at that) and haven't seen this question raised.  My wife and I are scheduled on a Princess Cruise and we both purchased the protection package because I have had a number of health issues in the past couple years.  My elderly mother has fallen and is in rehab.  It looks like we're going to have to place her in assisted living.  I am her primary caregiver.  Would the protection package cover something like this?  Has anyone ever been in this situation before?  We aren't necessarily looking for a refund.  We'd be just as happy with a credit on a future cruise.  

Thanks in advance for your assist. 

Dear Friends,

My wife and I booked the Crown Princess in December for 10 days to the Southern Caribbean.  We are driving from the gulf coast of Florida to FLL, about 4 hours.  Does anyone have advice about parking at the cruise port vs. a hotel the night before?  We are new residents to FL and have always flown into FLL the night before so this is new to us.  Any advice is greatly appreciated!  As some of you may be able to tell from my sign on....its been a long time since we've cruised.  We're so excited to be back!

Dear Friends,

My wife and I are returning to cruising after a long hiatus that included a relocation to Florida.  One of our many reasons for moving here was to be closer to the port of Ft. Lauderdale. 

I have a general question for other FL cruisers. Does Princess (or any other cruise line) offer any type of deals or incentives to FL residents who cruise out of FLL?  I thought I remembered reading something about that years ago.   

Boy has CC ever changed in the last six years!  It's going to take me some time to find my way around again.   I couldn't believe CC still had my user name and password!

Does anyone know if Princess offers a wedding registry service? I searched this forum and found a few posts, but they were several years old.

I searched Princess.com and only found a referernce to gift certificates.

I understand that Carnival has such a service, but I am interested in Princess.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Emily,

Thanks for the offer to send your posts to me. I'll take them anyway you can send them. I laughed out loud at your assessment of LaHavre....

OMG Emily!

This is absolutely THE BEST REVIEW EVER! DW and I had to cancel the May 14 sailing at the last minute due to her illness. We really really really want to do this cruise later this summer - or next year if we have to wait that long.

Is it possible to email your entire review in one document? I would love to save it and read it again before we sail. Of course we won't have your FABULOUS photos.

Please let me know if that's possible. I'm at trcoopermail@aol.com.

P.S. You should be a travel writer, if you aren't one already...

Oh...jeez....you are correct. My bad. We will take the train I guess. Thanks for correcting me!

Delorian Girl -

DW and I are booked on the Jacobite Sensation tour. I am SO glad you checked out the train situation! I would have had egg on my face for sure.

We will book the Princess bus excurision also. Looks like we can make our pick up time in Inverness at 10:15 and be back by 2:00pm in time to catch the bus back to the ship.

Thank you, Susan. Your posts about each island are really helpful and make me want to visit these ports.

Hope you enjoyed your last day!

Susan,

How are the beds? DW and I are sailing on the CP May 14 and I'm wondering if they have replaced the old mattresses with the new pillow top mattresses on that ship?
