So here we were, 20 months later, taking almost the same trip on the same ship. To make a long story short, the powers that be at Princess came through for us and we were given a generous credit to use towards another voyage. I did a pretty extensive live from the Enchanted last year, and those who followed might remember that Steve slipped and hurt his ankle on the second day and was pretty much hobbled for the rest of the trip.
Except for the one time we went to Alaska, we really do only cruise for the ship experience and to relax by literally 'getting away from it all'.
We don't cruise more than once a year and because we live close to Port Everglades, we usually just choose a Caribbean itinerary. Although we've been exclusively cruising Princess since 2009, this was only our 11th cruise on the line.
