February 22 - March 5, 2026
We went on this cruise with our friends and neighbors, Vince and Kayleen. It was not something we would have done on our own, and it was so much more fun with friends. They had already booked the trip and at the last minute (or last few weeks) we decided to join them.
On Sunday, February 22 we left Ft. Lauderdale. This is actually the farthest south we've been in Florida. Our ship, Sun Princess, was launched just two years ago.

| Goodbye, Ft. Lauderdale |
 |
| These two pictures are the only ones I took of food, but it was all wonderful! |
 |
| Our first stop was supposed to be Princess Cays, but there was some sort of scheduling conflict so we went to Amber Cays instead. There were a lot of shops to look through (of course I bought a can coozie), and this waterfall area too. |
 |
| The next stop was San Juan. We got off and walked around a little but it was pretty hot so got back on board the ship without buying anything. |
 |
| At San Juan |
 |
| Our next stop was St. Thomas. Over the years my parents had purchased several things there so it was interesting to see where they had been. I bought some Laramar stone earrings and a can coozie but that was all. |

 |
| One day on the ship there was a cooking demonstration by two of the chefs. Then we were able to walk through one of the severel kitchens. They are huge! |
 |
| One morning John called me and told me to go out on the balcony and look up. He was on the 17th deck. I took a picture of him... |
 |
| and he took one of me. |
 |
| So much fun to do this trip with our friends. Did I mention the food was wonderful!? |
 |
| On our balcony |
 |
| John, Kayleen and Vince went into Cozumel but I stayed on the ship as I wasn't feeling well. John bought a can coozie for me. I said I wasn't going to buy any more but this was different. 😁 |

 |
| They have a model of the ship. As you can see it's pretty big. The red dot is where our stateroom was. |
 |
Our stateroom was right next to the theatre. I would not recommend this section of the ship because we could hear every bass boom. However, the cabana and balcony were wonderful! I sat out in the cabana a lot of the time. I could see the ocean but not get burned in the sun.
|
 |
| I didn't take pictures of our stateroom but here are a couple I got online. |
 |
| Can you see the rainbow? |
 |
We pulled back in Ft. Lauderdale early in the morning and I caught the sunrise.
It was a lot of fun and we're really glad we went, but our next adventure will be on wheels. Then we'll be...
Roving on.
