Cruise Line: Princess Ship: Caribbean Princess Length of Cruise: 7 days Departure Port: New York City
Embarkation: There were many passengers arriving at the same time as we were, but there were plenty of Princess reps around to direct us to the correct lines for check in. The process went smoothly and it didn’t take too long to receive our Cruise Cards. Of course, we had to stop for our photo to be taken as we finished checking in.
Lunch: Before we went to lunch, we took our carry-on luggage to our stateroom. Then we went to the Horizon Court on the Lido Deck for the buffet lunch. Although crowded, we were able to quickly move through the lines and find a table. There was a variety of dishes to choose from and we were glad to be able to sit and relax for a while.

Evening Entertainment: Although there were numerous activities scheduled for the evening, we were most interested in seeing the Welcome Aboard Showtime in the Princess Theater. The singers and dancers as well as some of the entertainers for the week always provide an exciting show. After the show there was time to take in some of the other entertainment going on all around the ship or have another dessert on the Lido Deck!
