Our favorite Princess Cruise would have to be our first cruise. It was on the old Island Princess. It was our honeymoon and they were filming the TV show The Love Boat. We fell in love with cruising.

We have sailed the Golden once, Star twice, the Crown last year, and before I sailed the Crown, the Star was my favorite. Now it is the Crown. We have always, in 8 cruises, interacted with the crew. They make our week perfect so we try to make their week fun as well. But the Crown was special. They helped us, made us laugh, and we had the best cruise we have ever had. Our next cruise is on the Emerald and it will be the same as others, but the Crown will be tough to beat.But being Princess, I have no doubt it will be perfect.

I loved our Alaskan cruise on the Sapphire because it's such a beautiful ship, and there was beautiful scenery.

But then there was our Hawaiian cruise, which was 15 days, most of which were sea days (yea!).

So hard to choose.

The ole Royal Princess was our absolute favoite ship! Yes, OLE ... never OLD in my mind. Miss that ship!

Of the three we were fortunate enough to have taken on her... will pick the Baltic Cruise, not because of the Baltic, but because there were no problems whatsoever with anything on that cruise.

All of them!

If ya make me choose then I'll have to say Alaska Cruisetour 2003. I went into the cruise thinking Alaska was gonna be sooo boring. I was soooooooooooooooo wrong and now I'm hooked on Alaska. Who cares about the Caribbean now.

Oh LuLu, that is a very tough question for me! I will always love the Carribean, getting away from MN winters is so wonderful.

However our last 2...Baltic and Grand Med, were totally awesome, not because of the ships but because of the tours of the ports we visited. I would have to say the Med aced out the Baltic by just a bit. I think my new favorite will be the Nov 16 Holy Land on the Royal. I am very excited about this one.

Though I have liked all the Princess ships I have been on, my all time favorite is the Sun Class (Ocean, Sea, and Sun, I have never been on the Dawn). A nice size ship to get around on and a workable number of pax. Only felt the crowds on the Sun Panama Canal.That was because there was a multitude of "old folds" lining up early for everything and pushing and shoving to be first in line! It hurt when they ran into you with their scooters,

Been on the Crown and Ruby and both are great. Will be on the Ruby again in December, 2009.

That has to be the Sea Princess, 14 night cruise, out of Ft Lauderdale. It was port intensive, but very enjoyable. We went to Tortola, Antigua, Dominica, Curacao, Martinique, Margarita Island, Babados, Grenada, & their pivate island . That was the first time we tried the anytime dining or whatever ithey call it. It worked out quite well, coming in from being in port all day, we did not have to hurry for dinner. I enjoyed MOST of the ports. Part of the reason this is one of my faorite cruises is the length of the cruise. 7 days is really not llong enough. By the time you start to relax, it is time to repack and get off the ship. Another reason was the excursion we had in Barbados, we swam with the sea turtles and the Catamaran we had was huge and there were only 6 of us. It was wonderful.
