Home from the Seas

TheSkipper · May 19, 2006

Well gang we hit the house about two hours ago and I have to admit it feels good to be home. Looking forward to my own bed tonight.

Disembarkation was a breeze, we were off the ship by 8:30 AM. Joined two of our tablemates in the luggage pickup area and shared a cab (Van) to the Oakland airport and were there by 9:15. Way too early! But, much better than cutting it too close. Flight was uneventful and our neighbor was at the airport to pick us up for the trip to the house.

Overall a great cruise. Noticed some changes which I'll cover in my review. But I've got to tell you the Coral has the smallest showers I have ever seen on a ship!! Damn, they were tiny! And, we have been on lots of ships over the years.

PEB and I never did connect aboard ship, too bad. Met up with lots of folks from another board two days before disembarking.

Well back to the real world. I have a Stress Test at the Cardioligists tomorrow AM. How can I be stressed after a 15 night cruise??

Will check back in after I've had a chance to get unpacked, etc. :wink:

Welcome home, Skipper! I have to agree with you on the status of the showers on the Island/Coral.....they ARE the smallest in the Princess fleet unless you are in a minisuite or higher. Literally 2.5 feet by 2.5 feet (someone once actually measured them!) I managed but loved to go up to the gym/spa area and use the showers up there.
