EMERALD PRINCESS – January 5–15, 2008
We are Sue (65) and Kevin (almost 65) and this was our 19th cruise, 6th
one on Princess. We have previously cruised on Princess, Royal
Caribbean, Carnival, Disney, HAL, Celebrity and Azamara.
In looking for airfare from Philadelphia to Fort Lauderdale, we
discovered the best deal was to fly down on SouthWest and home on
AirTran. Both flights cost us a little under $180 roundtrip/per person,
better then any other airlines. We had no problems with either flight
and were able to upgrade to first class for $60/person for the flight
home on AirTran. I think I am now very spoiled. lol
As we have been doing for years now, we flew down the day before the
cruise. This allowed us to take a flight at a more reasonable time and
not have to worry about missing the ship. We stayed at the Embassy
Suites which has a free breakfast every morning, made to order eggs of
any kind. They also had pancakes and waffles, but they were not made to
order and sat under a light to stay warm. Embassy Suites is a great
location and you can walk to many restaurants, a grocery store and drug
stores.
