billjakegolf Posted June 9, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Thinking about taking the Caribbean Princess cruise fron NYC to Fort Lauderdale at the end of Oct right before she goes to dry dock, has any done a cruise right before dry dock, and if so would you recommend or not recommend doing so?

Toto2Kansas Posted June 9, 2011 #2 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Depending on what is going to be done while the ship is in drydock, often times the work will begin on the cruise prior. We sailed one only once, and said never again. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted June 9, 2011 #3 Share Posted June 9, 2011 We were on the last sailing of the Tahitian Princess before drydock in 2009 and had no problems. For what I have heard, it depends on what they are going to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been on one once before and had no problems. DH and I are actually booked on the same sailing you are considering and I am really looking forward to it, especially Aruba and it will be nice going into FLL instead of San Juan. Air on Jetblue back into EWR was $114 each nonstop :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyskie Posted June 9, 2011 #5 Share Posted June 9, 2011 We're booked on the same cruise. Truthfully, I would love to know what they are going to do to the CB. Rumors are a flying that Skywalkers will be removed, however, don't think that is the case, seeing that the drydock is only 10-11 days. We're taking a chance, this is our 3rd CB repo. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
