    Hey Cruisers, In this episode we kick off our epic Panama Canal cruise aboard the Caribbean Princess with a look at our pre cruise day, and day 1. We start off in the airport waiting to board our JetBlue flight to Florida. Then we give you a little look at our pre cruise hotel stay, and our embarkation day. Once we are onboard the Caribbean Princess we give you a shaky impromptu tour of our cabin, and swing by the main dining room for a little lunch. Next it's sail away time, and I have to say it was a super fun sail away. The crew on the Caribbean Princess really did a fantastic job getting the crowd fired up for sail away fun. After sail away we check out the scene at Skywalkers and drop by Planks for some dinner. If you are interesting in seeing more of our Panama Canal cruise on the Caribbean Princess, make sure to hit the subscribe button and click the notification bell. We'll have more soon. Next up is our fun day in Princess Cay.

      Me too but a newer ship. It seems Princess ships seem to be a bit outdated...I think the Majesty is the newest

      You really should! It’s such an amazing cruise line. There’s not to much kids and it’s an amazing experience. It’s peaceful and not like Carnival Cruise lines. It’s way better! I’m going on my 9th princess cruise this June to Alaska and I can’t wait!

  • @ScottSingerCruises
    @ScottSingerCruises Před 6 lety +19

    Yay!! I’ve been waiting for these vlogs to start!
    As I figured, THIS WAS AMAZING!! I wish I could binge watch all of your Panama Canal Cruise vlogs right now!
    Mr. Cruise Tips TV-the editing was phenomenal as usual!!
    Sheri-I wish I looked that good/alive before 730AM on a flying day and as always, love learning about the cocktails!
    Can’t wait to watch Princess Cays! Thanks for bringing us along!

    Ahhhh such good memories of flying to Florida and boarding Princess ships. Now we live here in Florida and can’t wait to drive to the port and begin cruising again. Panama Canal cruise planned for Dec. 2021 (4th time). Fingers crossed! Love your videos!

  • @CatherineSunnysideJournals

    We've stayed at that Embassy Suites and agree it was fine. Nice to watch the cruise terminal. I like that there is quite a bit of "walk-to" shopping in the neighborhood.

  • @jeremyeckhause1747
    @jeremyeckhause1747 Před 4 lety

    Thank you, Sheri. I took it as a challenge to go searching through your old videos to find "that Sheri cocktail" from a few years ago (the "floradora"). My wife recently requested it (since we're stuck at home these days). I am so glad I found it. Will make it again soon.

    First time cruiser here. I need to thank you for your tips and advice. I did my Dollar Tree haul and picked up clips to hold my beach towel on the chair. Nightlight since we booked an inside cabin. Over the door hooks for wet beach towels. Mesh laundry bag for dirty clothes. Band-Aids, antibiotic oitment, hydrocortisone. Manicure kit, messenger bags, lanyards, and a few other things but dont want to take too much of your time. Thank you so much again. I cant wait for my first cruise. I feel like I am definitely more prepared than I would have been without you. 💋💜

    Great Vlog!!!! I've been a watcher for a while and I finally had to log into CZcams on my computer so I can comment! I usually watch your videos and live vlogs on my apple tv. I look forward to the rest of your vlogs for this cruise. You & your husband are also some of my fave to watch due to your integrity! You never just come out and ask for money which I admire and respect which makes me watch your channel more so than the rest. Plus I can tell you make your videos because this is something you guys truly love to do and not for profit. Keep up the excellent work!

    We stayed at the embassy suites in ft Lauderdale and stayed on the 11th floor. While it was a beautiful view of the ships in the morning it took almost an hour to get on the elevator and my husband ended having to go down the stairs since he couldn’t fit with me and our luggage and the nice people who let me on. 11 flights in Florida heat was a little too much for him lol!

  • @gwenpryor

  • @steveroth35
    @steveroth35 Před 6 lety

    Hey Sheri- With regards to paying for the shuttle from the hotel to the port, we've found that's the norm in FL. When staying in both Tampa and Miami in 2015 and 2016, our respective hotels had a "stay and cruise" package in which you paid an additional amount for the shuttle to port. While the shuttles to and from the airports are usually complimentary, the shuttles to the ports are not.

    I was so excited when I got this notification!! I wanted to save the video to watch this evening, but just Couldn't wait!! Love it! Tfs
    PS. I've been gate checking my bag a lot lately, not always voluntarily 😔 lol, and they've been sending them to the luggage carousel. I wish they still returned them when you get off the plane because it would save the long walk in large airports.

    Fun vlog. Love your balcony room. Im currently on our Cayman Island cruise watching your vlog! 😎 I Love that you get the dancing started on the ship. My wife Jules does the same thing. We saw Cayman Island yesterday. Today we visit Costa Maya but I hurt my foot riding the ships florider last night so todays vlogging is going to be challenging but Im going to rise above the situation and make the best of it! Cheers! 😎

    Totally looking forward to the rest of this series, we actually almost booked this cruise as the canal is on our bucket list. Will have to check out the Embassy, we drive to those ports but stay overnight in Fort Lauderdale for that port and Miami. We like the Hilton Garden Inn in Dania, no happy hour but close to lots of restaurants. It sounded like the Embassy was walking distance to a Publix, did I hear that correctly? We always need to pick something up...

    I wish I can convince my mom (aka my travel buddy) to cruise through the Caribbean. I want to try a warm weather cruise but she is not budging. 🙄When you film around a lot of people, like on the plane, do people make comments? Or are they usually pretty chill about it?

  • @thomasmargolis3313
    @thomasmargolis3313 Před 5 lety

    It all looks quite nice, and the stress is minimized. From the other videos on the topic, I ask what is the cost. The gratuities and the other items that comes with the fare. Those (hidden) costs, where a price for everything, or so it appears.

    @laureljaneg Před 6 lety

    I’ve sailed from that port 4 times on a themed cruise. Leaving the cruise there are shuttles lined up for Airports. It’s a mess. One year I had an earlier fight out. Walked to taxi stand no wait to load people & luggage. Cost about the same!

    @cruisingcouple4274 Před 6 lety

    I thought you were trying the "carry-on only" challenge? Cross-my-fingers, I've never had a baggage issue during our 12 years cruising. Have done the "at gate" check once and its just put in with other pre-checked luggage, so only expected it at the carrosel with all baggage. LOVE Embassy look, with the centre court area! Will have to try them out sometime.

    • @laurenmadelineclarke
