The Cruise is Over - Back to Reality

Kate and I had a terrific time on our cruise. After 7 days at sea, we got back on December 6 and are already planning our next cruise.

This trip took us on Pricess Cruises' newest ship, Ruby Princess, from Fort Lauderdale, FL to Ocho Rios, Jamaica; Cozumel, Mexico; and Princess Cays, Bahamas. We were supposed to also stop at Grand Cayman, but the winds (45 knots) made it impossible.



As a first time cruiser, I wasn't sure what to expect. I am happy to report that I was thrilled with the overall cruising experience. It will be hard to top this cruise -- the food, the entertainment, the ship's amenities, and the service were all outstanding. We met some great folks including our dinner mates (one couple from Syracuse, another from Germany) and a nice couple from Winnipeg.

I'll be posting more photos and memories as time permits in the upcoming weeks. We're still plowing through 300+ photos from the trip. Speaking of plowing, we had our first measurable snow accumulation in Allentown last night. What a way to be welcomed back to reality.
