western caribbean

We were looking at taking a Western Caribbean cruise this May on Princess, but see they don't offer any in May and only 2 in April. Is this normal? I feel like there were a few more offered when we did our East Carib a couple years back.

Gee, I don't know; the schedule I'm looking at shows Ruby
Princess doing four Western Caribbean cruises in April and two in May on the 2nd and 9th. (??)

Well, I should've been more specific...srry bout that. No 7 day cruises in May sailing from Ft Lauderdale and April has 2 w/ the same sailing city. I didn't mention the embarkation city which probably will now make more sense to you f-mattox!!

My mistake; I see the schedule on the Princess website is different from the brochure I have. I'm sure the website is accurate.

They seem to be pulling out earlier and earlier each year. I guess the Alaska market and European market warrant the repositioning. I actually like the Caribbean in warmer months because the snorkeling is more comfortable. The only ones that seem to stay are NCL, Carnival, and Royal. Too bad, too, it would be nice to have a good selection to chose from.

Welcome back from ur recent cruise Penny...Certain u had a great time I agree on the warmer months, I get cold very easily. Looks as if I'm going to have to settle on April then!! Shouldn't be TOO cold by then!!

Thanks Keith. I'm going to try to put together all the pictures this weekend and upload them. I spent last weekend doing laundry-yuck! I really would have loved to stayed on board for a back to back, but this work thing gets in the way I'll post a short review and put a link up for pictures, soon.
