Check out the YouTube channel "Code 4 for life".......They were of the Emerald Princess this year and made vids of the casual dinning venues that they visited, including "Salty Dog Gastropub".

I also have sailed from Quebec to Ft. Lauderdale and Ft. Lauderdale to Quebec......both times we docked in Brooklyn, so (to me) it is not a rare exception. While the terminal schedule (below) is helpful; schedules do change and sometimes even the captain doesn't know till a few days before.......(yes that happened to us the first time we docked in NY). https://nycruise.com/manhattan-terminal/schedule-mct/ https://nycruise.com/brooklyn-terminal/schedule-bct/

I have done the Panama Canal 4 times (first 3 times on the Coral Princess). The viewing area that you are talking about was open on the Coral and I got there before sunrise each time (not that many people up that early). First image is from the forward viewing area on the Coral. Second image is from the forward area on the Caribbean.

You will have to ask NY cruise port why they place Princess on the Manhattan schedule. On 6/25/24 both the Island and the Emerald will be in NY…..according to the cruise port schedule the Island will be porting in Brooklyn and the Emerald will be porting in Manhattan. By the time June comes around, (who knows) the schedule could be changed. Yes, I know Princess usually uses Brooklyn, but there can be exceptions (though not very often).

https://nycruise.com/ This site shows both Manhattan and Brooklyn schedules. At the moment it appears the the Enchanted will be using Brooklyn (of course everything is subject to change).

Yes, those are peanut butter cookies, and they are hidden behind the counter. In the International Cafe and Buffet ask the person behind the counter for them. While they didn't have them everyday, they did have them most days.

On St Kitts there is Brimstone Hill Fort. Or you can take a excursion to the island of Nevis from St Kitts. On Nevis you can visit Alexander Hamilton's birthplace.

One time I had 2 excursions that looked to leave before the ship docked.........Princess did change the excursion time on both excursions to start after we docked. The new time was reflected on the excursion tickets that were in our cabin. If the excursion has both morning and afternoon times, go with the one that corresponds with when the ship is in port........that way you don't have to worry about your excursion being canceled if the other one is over booked.

The Caprese sandwich is my favorite.

The image from post 6 was taken on 10-12-2022, Ruby Princess........the image below was taken 12-12-2022, Enchanted Princess. Sorry, I didn't take any images of the Cuban sandwich this year.

A few more images from the "Crossing the Equator" ceremony.

That is the event they have for when the ship crosses the equator. There is a sign up for passengers and crew to participate (if this is there first time crossing the equator). Everyone also got a certificate to commemorate the event your steward will leave it in your cabin).

Yes, that was the "crossing the equator event". The people sitting on the chairs were the ones that had to "Kiss" the fish.

Have been on the 28 day one and loved it.........now we are booked on the 32 day one. As everyone here has said, it is a great itinerary but you need to like sea days for it to work for you.

Like the decorations. They also have decorations for the Canadian Thanksgiving.
