funCruise3 Posted March 14, 2019 Author #61 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Vacation is sometimes easy and sometimes hard to decide how to choose which activities to attend. Hence my delemna for 3 pm: afternoon high tea or today's movie by the pool Mamma Mia, her we go again! I promised myself at least one time to try the high tea social and have only one other sea day left, so perhaps will start with the tea, then the movie? Time will tell! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funCruise3 Posted March 15, 2019 Author #65 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Day 6 Sea Day #2: I need vitamin sea and walked up and down the promenade on decks 7 and 8, walked 2.7 laps with my hubby. We dressed up for the second formal dinner, every meal in the dining room has been 5 star, too notch! I chose the salad and salmon and my hubby ordered a few rock lobsters. Everything was delicious. The cherry trifle had lots of cherries, and the chocolate dessert was very decadent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ship stabilizers really make it much better, smooth sailing. I did bring regular gravol but none of my family needed to use it. 😀 Cheers!

funCruise3 Posted March 16, 2019 Author #70 Share Posted March 16, 2019 My daughter went to hang out with other teenagers during the day, so my hubby and I went to find some lounge chairs, swam in the adult only AFT pool, had a piece of the daily pizza special (mushroom & ham). I promised myself that I would have at least one Pina colada and one gin and tonic during the cruise, so check! And my hubby ordered a nice strawberry daiquiri today for me! Wow, how can the final day of our cruise be any more better? Well, of course our final MDR supper in the Coral dining room with Marvin and Ashwin serving a fabulous new York steak supper! I started with the seafood chowder, my daughter had the details salad to start, both delicious dishes and five star!!! Even better, a special dessert was served, too! I tried the sugar-free chocolate tapioca dessert, but tell you the truth, the baked Alaska was to die for! I lost my new Princess cap yesterday and found it in the lost and found at customer service on deck 6. So happy to wear it again! I'll do a quick summary of our disembarkation day on Saturday later on, ASAP. Cheers! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funCruise3 Posted March 18, 2019 Author #73 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Our disembarkation day on Saturday was awesome! We reserved the Everglades tour, alligator show, and transportation to the Fort Lauderdale airport excursion. The awesome thing about booking this tour is that our disembarkation time was already determined by meeting at the casino at 7:55 am, easy peasy, AND the baggage tags were provided to us a few days prior, so we simply tagged our large suitcase and even a few of our carry-on suitcases as per instructions, left them outside our cabin our last night on the cruise outside our cabin door. We factored in a half hour for our last breakfast in the morning in the MDR in the Palm dining room. We even had time to go to the International cafe to pick up my daughter's specialty tea (see pic of favorite fruit green tea ice tea, my usual latte Expresso with almond milk, and my hubby's double shot Americano. Everything went well afterwards: disembarked the lovely Caribbean Princess ship, found our luggage, a porter offered to take our luggage to customs, waited in line for a few minutes, found our tour bus, tipped the porter, and we were off to the Everglades by 9 am.

funCruise3 Posted March 18, 2019 Author #74 Share Posted March 18, 2019 We had a great time on the airboat ride, saw a few alligators in the Everglades. It was a short half hour on the water but it was fun when we went fast! The boat had twin propellers and was quite big as it carried around 30 passengers. We felt very safe while traveling in it. We watched the alligator show, learned some cool stuff about alligators, and even tried some alligator bites with fries, but forgot to take a pic of the food. Our tour guide's name was Lance, and he was very knowledgeable, telling us lots of facts, and stories about the Everglades, and the Fort Everglades area. Before we knew it, we were dropped off at the airport and on the way home to Canada!! I'll post a few tidbits of our favorite parts of the cruise in a separate post. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
