Scotty Posted May 5, 2004 #5 Share Posted May 5, 2004 You are going to love Princess. We also have sailed on RCCL lots and sailed on the Coral Princess last April and I loved it. There are no bad cruises and I like trying different lines. Princess was very relaxing. Have a great trip Charlene Days till heading to Paradise [img]http://escati.linkopp.net/cgi-bin/countdown.cgi?trgb=000000&srgb=00ff00&prgb=ff0000&cdt=2005;04;07;17;00;00&timezone=GMT-0500[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specs Posted May 5, 2004 #9 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I have been on various cruiselines including Royal Caribbean and Celebrity, but my best memories have always been from my Princess cruises. The service is excellent, the entertainment is perfect, and the food was exquisite. I really loved Princess. As that say, it is were I belong. For one, on the Dawn Princess, I recall one of my best memories. Departing from San Juan at midnight, we were admiring the ligths of the city on the Promenade deck. Suddenly, as the ship began to move and that the ship's horn had been heard, Bocelli's "Con Te Partirò" melody began as we left for a wonderful adventure. On the opposite side of the port was a Celebrity ship. They waved their hands, as we did too. It was quite charming. It was quite moving, indeed. I am sure you will enjoy Princess as much as Royal Caribbean. Although some people like better one or the other, it is said that Princess cruises and Royal Caribbean International are pretty equal in status. And so, you are sure of spending a wonderful vacation either way!

Captain Einstein Posted May 5, 2004 #11 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Congratulations! We did a back-to-back cruise on the Dawn Princess some years ago and had a wonderful time. I'm sure you'll love it.

cruiserforlife Posted May 5, 2004 #12 Share Posted May 5, 2004 enyaw, I will be interested in your review when you get back. We also prefer Princess over RCL for a number of reasons,mainly the freshwater 24/7 pools,the overall decor of the ships,the friendly staff,and of course the food which is in our opinion much better especially if you like good pasta and pizza by the pool. Princess just feels like home to us and those feelings have never waivered even to this day. Congratulations and have a fantastic cruise...

enyaw Posted May 5, 2004 Author #13 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Thanks everyone! I can't wait to board the Dawn Princess. It's like going to a new school...for all these years my partner and I have sailed Royal Caribbean and we feel like we're cheating! Oh, well..we'll be cheating again next month. I'll let you all know how the mini-trip went! Thanks for the well-wishes [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] Nordic Empress---5/90, 6/91 Majesty of the Seas---4/92 Sovereign of the Seas---12/93 Nordic Empress---4/94,12/94, 5/95, Sovereign of the Seas---8/98 Monarch of the Seas---9/02 Majesty of the Seas---1/03 Vision of the Seas----4/03 Voyager of the Seas---9/03 Monarch of the Seas--12/03 [img]http://escati.linkopp.net/cgi-bin/countdown.cgi?trgb=000000&srgb=00ff00&prgb=808000&cdt=2004;5;7;16;00;00&timezone=GMT-0800[/img] Til the Dawn Princess!

brucejr Posted May 6, 2004 #14 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Enyaw, in case this applies to you, watch the Princess Patter for the Friends of Dorothy meeting. There was one on our March Grand cruise and I believe that the meetings are held on most Princess ships. If it doesn't interest you, please accept my apologies. Family has to look out for each other. <font color="FF6600"> if there's a way to construe my post as non-argumentative, please do so.</font> Cruise photos on my [url="http://www.brobertson.org/"]Home page [/url]<font color="990066"> Spring Break was on the Grand Princess </font>21, March 2004 So when is the next cruise?
