Cruise #1: Where we're going

These 90 100 days of cruising are actually comprised of nine ten 10-night cruises. Every 10 days, we'll be back in Fort Lauderdale while the ship does a nine hour turnaround and heads back out on the next cruise. The itineraries alternate, Southern Caribbean/ Eastern Caribbean. We visit St. Thomas and Princess Cays, Princess's private beach resort on the southern tip of Eleuthera in the Bahamas on every cruise.

We've done these same itineraries several times since 2003, on three different Princess ships. They are the perfect mix of sea days and port days.  On this itinerary, we particularly love Bonaire. And Aruba. And Dominica and St. Thomas. Yes, we love this itinerary, and also the alternating Eastern Caribbean itinerary. 

If you're near a computer today beginning at 4p EST, check out http://www.portevergladeswebcam.com.  There are a few ships in port today, so the Emerald may not be the first to sail, but if you're patient, you might see us on deck, waving as we sail away.

There is also an Emerald Princess webcam at http://www.princess.com/bridgecams/ep/emerald_bridgecam.html. You can see the view of each port that we see from the ship.
