FI and I are talking about taking a cruise sometime in the March to May time frame. We are going to Disney for our honeymoon and are thrilled with that, but we have wanted to do a cruise for some time and his vacation time was sparse this year. I have only been on one cruise ever (Carnival on an almost retired ship). My experience was okay, but I know that there are much better ones out there. My FI has been on two others (Royal Caribbean and Princess). He liked both of his, though he tended to be happy just staying on the ship if the port of call sucked.
We are looking into a cruise through Princess. These are the itineraries for the two. I'm looking for any input on the ports or the cruise line (or even better, the specific ship).
Royal Princess: Ft. Lauderdale, Florida; Princess Cays, Bahamas; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; St. Maarten; Ft. Lauderdale, Florida;
OR
Crown Princess: Ft. Lauderdale, Florida; Princess Cays, Bahamas; St Maarten; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos; Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
Thanks!
