Trip Start-up

We will be joining our friends, Charlie and Mary Webster, for a 12-day Princess cruise on the ship called the Coral Princess.  Our cruise begins and ends in Fort Lauderdale, a place we have never visited before.  In fact, all of the cruise ports are places we have never seen, so we are looking forward to adding lots of new pins on our map of the world!


Frank is most excited about seeing the Panama Canal.  This cruise is what they call a partial -- we enter the Panama Canal but then turn around and come back without going all the way though to the Pacific Ocean.

Here is the itinerary for our cruise:

  • Depart from Fort Lauderdale, Florida
  • At sea for two days
  • Oranjestad, Aruba -- plan to visit The Butterfly Farm and get in some beach time
  • At sea
  • Cartegena, Columbia  -- very excited about taking a City Tour here
  • Panama Canal -- taking a tour to see the current locks and also the expansion project
  • Limon, Costa Rica -- touring the Tortuguero canals and a banana plantation
  • At sea
  • Ocho Rios, Jamaica -- will experience The Blue Hole and Dunns River Falls
  • At sea
  • Disembark in Fort Lauderdale


Look forward to sailing with you on this, our next adventure!

Adios,

Frank and Anne
