Princess 4th of July Week 2010 Cruisers Meet Here

Jeanie, just wondering any chance Princess will ever keep a ship in NYC full time? Wish we knew, we could get a jump start for Christmas 2011!

I really hope they do! My husband and I plan to move to NY when the kids head off to college!

Oh I am so "in"!! Been a while since I visited on here and boy am I glad I did, this cruise is perfect!

Welcome Scorpio Gal!!! We look forward to meeting you in 2010!!! We also have an optional 2 night pre-cruise package in NYC if you're interested!

Hi Scorpio Gal, welcome to our growing Princess group!

Just giving this thread a bump - it's getting lost with all the Oasis stuff going on and we don't want people forgetting there is a GREAT Princess cruise coming up in 2010, do we?

Hey Jeanie, do you think we could do a Live Chat - just to stir up interest in the group and also so we can interact with each other in real time. Maybe discuss the plays and restaurants and let others who might not know about the group learn what we're planning?

I haven't been to NYC in ages, would be great to get back. And the pre-cruise package sounds great, any plans for post cruise packages?

That should be fun! Just let me know when so I can be sure to be online!

Hmmm, I think with this post I go from Deck Hand to my next rank. Let's see if it works...

I'm now a ship's purser!!

I know... I'm spending way too much time on here!

Congratulations on your new membership rank Robyn

Way to go Robyn!!!!!!

Nice to see this thread is still going strong and that more people are finding it! Jeanie, I think you'll be a sell out on opening day at this rate! And, yes I am on the beautiful ship right now!

Oh yes Dana please give us a report if you have the time!!

Ok my report so far...

Seas were a little rough on the way down, but it really didn't bother me or anyone traveling with me. Most people seems to handle it well. The size of the ship and stablizers help greatly!

We're doing anytime dining and LOVING IT! I was the one very against it but, I've been very pleasantly surprised with anytime dining, I am now a convert! Food has been EXCELLENT! My last trip on Princess was on Golden and while the food was good, Caribbean Princess is Excellent! And, we indulged in Balcony Breakfast - very worth the splurge and an excellent way to spend a morning for a day at sea. I'm still trying to get a spot at the Chef's Table but, I didn't sign up in time and at this point all slots seem to be gone but, I've only heard rave reviews about it. The is a new executive chef on-board and he's doing a wonderful job.

The ship is showing little wear and tear in spots but, nothing that dry-dock won't fix! It is mind blogging to imagine how this ship is going to be reconfigured but, I am looking forward to seeing the before and after.

The internet connection is slow here so I will finish up by telling everyone that reads this to book the 4th of July week sailing in 2010 - you will not be sorry!

I'll write a full report upon returning home!

Great report Dana!! Thanks. Sorry to hear about the rough seas. It's probably from Hurricane Bertha churning out in the Atlantic.

I would love to hear about your shore excursions as well as more on the ship itself!!!

Yes please we want more! We're cruising vicariously through you!

Looking forward to a full report!

Jeanie any word about our night time city tour, like the route yet?

Not yet Robyn, that's still in the works!

So besides this sailing, what other cruises does everyone have booked or plan on booking?

Anyone besides me going on Oasis for the Inaugural?
