I sailed Caribbean Princess in 2013. It was a bit old back then, but I it's refurbished in the meantime, so it will be good.

Yep you're absolutely right that region is still on my list. For at least 10 days I'm in for 2019 or 2020. You can put some money in a future cruise when you're onboard. Would that be a good idea for me to do on this cruise so I can use that for our group cruise?

Oh, but I love the Adriatic Andi, absolutely. But Viking is a bit too expensive for me and the ships are rather small. That also goes for the Pacific Princess, even though Princess is my favorite line. I do like to try the Edge and those two itineraries include some ports I haven't been to yet. And the feeling you have about these two, I have about the Carribbean.

Found two great Edge cruises: https://www.celebritycruises.com/spa/#/itinerary-details/10-night-iberian-peninsula-cruise-from-southampton-england?packageID=EG10M210&sDT=2019-05-15&cCD=CO&aCB=false https://www.celebritycruises.com/spa/#/itinerary-details/7-night-spain-france-and-italy-cruise-from-barcelona-spain?packageID=EG07M417&sDT=2019-06-22&cCD=CO&aCB=false Could this work for a lot of us?

I for one, would really like to try that ship. It's a bit different than we're used too and that could be nice.

Have a great time on the Empress Queen. Please tell us about it when you're back!

I love the Regal. It's a great ship. So I think you're gonna have a good time! I wish I could join you.

Jan, thanks for this research. I'm afraid my list is slightly different. Of course I would like to sail the Edge, but price wise in combination with the itinerary and duration it's not really tempting. My first choice would be Sapphire, round trip Southampton and second Rhapsody, both because of the itinerary. The other options not so much. I'm a spoiled brat, cause I've been there a couple of times.

Thanks for sharing your cruise with us Jan. Nice pictures especially the one of David and you! Have a safe trip home! Trizi welcome to CC and thanks for that cabin picture. It certainly looks a bit crazy.

You should join our group cruise discussion for 2020, I'd like to book a Virgin Cruise too. It would be nice to meet up with some more crazies.

Have a great time Jan, love to read the review and see your pictures

You are ahead of me, cause I was also thinking 2020 because of the new Virgin cruise ship. That could be nice right?

I won't do Carnival, Costa and MSC either. And after 2015 I won't do P&O anymore. Princess and Celebrity without a doubt and my experience on the Norwegian Spirit was also good. Royal Carribbean a little less, but not a definite no. I guess that depends on itinerary, ship (no Navigator) and price I guess.

Celebrity is also good, but for me it's more expensive than Princess. But maybe when we book through Jan, it will be different. I don't really want to sail the Koningsdam anymore. Don't get me wrong, I had a great time, but it's not as vibrant as the others.

I just read somewhere that Princess is going to Antarctica (Coral Princess for instance) at the end of 2019 beginning of 2020. I think that will be a great group cruise for 2020! Who's with me?

Andi will probably love it so much that she wants to go again ?. Right Andi?

How about Celebrity Edge May 15th, from Southampton to Rome? A 10 day trip including a couple of ports in Spain, Gibraltar etc.

Oh and Princess has got some great booking offers right now. Except I'm not eligable, cause I'm European. Duh.....?

How about the new Sky Princess November 3rd 2019, from and to Rome to go to Kotor, Corfu, Malta and Italy? It's only a 7 day cruise though, but you get to experience the latest Princess ship, Royal class. And I for one, would love to.

I know I will be on the American Queen December 17th, from Memphis to New Orleans. Who'll join?

Only 239 more days to go until our next group cruise. Who's gonna join? Our last was really awesome! Love to meet more of you Crazies, so hope to see you on the Coral Princess.

Our own Janice booked my Christmas cruise down the Mississippi. Starting out in the Sheraton Memphis Hotel on December 17th, see Graceland and Beale Street on the 18th and embark the American Queen to sail to New Orleans. Arriving there on december 26th. Afterwards I will stay in New Orleans to celebrate New Years'. That is a great way to start the new year, don't you think? Who is going to ask Janice to book this cruise to join me????? It would be great to have some Crazies onboard right?

Hey Cruisedudes, Welcome to Cruise Crazies. Nice to see you here too, like on #CruiseChat.Have a great time. Miranda

Great review Jan, thanks!

Hi Kenneth, Welcome to Cruise Crazies, and we (well I am) are pretty 'crazy' and lovin' it. Miranda
