Bobpell54 Posted June 17 #1 Share Posted June 17 We were discussing a package many moons ago whereas you had a pro on board who arranged a round on the islands you visited and a banquet was held the last night Can anyone remember this package? Would it work today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted June 17 #2 Share Posted June 17 Princess no longer has golf pros on board. The program was discontinued, as you mentioned, years ago. If it would have been profitable Princess would have retained it. I don't foresee Princess restarting this program. If you wish to play golf in the Caribbean try a land vacation to a golf resort.

You could also demo the clubs they had - if memory serves me, at the time it was Nike. You could purchase and they would be shipped to your home. Definitely wouldn't work now. I wish more of the Caribbean Island had available golf courses for cruise passengers. They are either non-existent or too far from the port. Our favorite is Port Royal - Bermuda (I know it's not the Caribbean!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCThunder Posted June 17 #4 Share Posted June 17 Didn't they also used to allow guests to hit golf balls out into the ocean in the olden days? As well as shooting skeet off the fantail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targets flew very fast! Was a lot of fun! Great memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Kramer did manage to get a Titleist stuck in a whale's blow hole until George got it out. "The sea was angry that day, my friends, like an old man at a deli returning soup!".
