Hubby and I are scheduled for my company's National Conference on this sailing. Anyone else booked on this.

[Sox Fan Cruiser]

My husband and I are on this cruise too! This will be our 22nd cruise with Princess. We sailed on this same cruise with the Royal in 2013.

Still just the two of us?!?

 

Did you check out the main roll call?

I'm on this with 100 other guys. Yes, really. :D :D :D

Awesome! All Boston guys? I'm sure we will know a few.

Hi, Just booked this cruise. I'm travelling solo, but with a group of gay/straight friends.... Sounds like it's going to be a fun trip!

So what other Boston boys are going?

[Sox Fan Cruiser]

Any more news on the gay group you are with?

My partner and I just booked this cruise. We've been on Carnival and HAL, but this will be our first Princess. Looks like it's going to be a good cruise!

[westoftheashley]

Does anyone have any excursions planned?

[Sox Fan Cruiser]

We don't do any excursions on this itinerary.

 

We have a bar we visit every time we go to St. Thomas. We know the owners and the staff. Then we head to Megan's Bay for the day ending back at the bar before going to the ship.

 

We usually don't even get off the ship in St. Maarten but we are going to go in and walk around town for a little while this time.

 

We got a bungalo for Princess Cays just so we have some place to hold our stuff.

 

You?

We rented a clamshell for Princess Cay. We've never been there, so going to make that a nice beach day. We haven't booked anything for St. Thomas - we were thinking about maybe going to St. John as we've been to St. Thomas on our last two cruises. Have you been to St. John? We're renting a car in St. Maarten to drive the island. We did that last year and really enjoyed it.

Just thought I'd jump in and say hi. I'm Sox Fan Cruiser's husband.

 

Also wanted to let folks know that, in helping direct someone else here on CC to information they were seeking regarding St. Thomas, I stumbled across the fact that there will apparently be a total of 6 cruise ships in port in St. Thomas when we're there, including the Ruby Princess and the 5400 passenger Allure of the Seas. St. Thomas is going to be crowded! So, westoftheashley, I would definitely recommend a trip to St. John, especially if you've never been. It is absolutely beautiful, and will certainly be much less crowded than St. Thomas.

 

Oh, and at this point, according to the website I was on, we are scheduled to dock at Havensight instead of Princess' usual berth at Crown Bay. For those who have never been, the nice thing about Havensight is that (while cabs are certainly available) it's only about a 12 minute walk (+/-) into downtown Charlotte Amalie (if you are so inclined) with sidewalks the entire way; whereas, you pretty much have to take a cab to get anywhere from Crown Bay.

 

Less than 2 weeks now, and counting down. See y'all aboard. :)

I think we will do St. John. We looked at doing the princess excursion, but they're on a wait list. They also seem pretty expensive compared to taking the ferry. Any experience with doing this? There appears to be two different ones.
