Remember that there are three $50 on-board credit prizes to be awarded by a drawing to three of the first 20 cabins reserved. You'll want to be among these 20, the odds are rather nice, so get your oar in by signing up right now.
A freeper lady is looking for a roomie....please refer to posts # 66 and 378.
We'll have an announcement later today of another dandy table prize donated to our cruise. As we announced earlier on the the thread, our own freeper chef, Maestro Carlo3b is contributing a number of copies of the priceless "Clinton Legacy Cookbook" (post # 230)....a funnier-than-heck freeper heirloom chock full of the best recipes from freeper cooks and bakers across the fruited plain.
Don't forget to be working on your ID documents. This is important. See comment # 241.
Florida residents, the modern, private Princess courtesy bus will pick up you and your luggage close to where you live and take you right to the terminal on embarkation morning. What could be more hassle-free? I've been on these busses and they are a great way to travel to the ship. Cost is around 45 bucks round trip, give or take.

Thanks SO much for your great post.

Hey, nice photo sequence. Can't imagine how I missed it after browsing every Caribbean Princess photo I could find on the internet about a dozen times.
I don't know if I want to try a chocolate martini or not.....but it's probably better than a butter pecan martini.

I know it's early yet but how are things progressing?
How many members usually attended past cruises?

Three $50 on-board-credit gifts will be awarded to three cabins out of the first twenty booked.
Our Admiral of the Freep, Jim Robinson, will draw the winning numbers. The money will be in your ship's account the minute after you walk up the gangplank.
The prize money is good at any of the shops on the Caribbean Princess. Or you can just let it ride to the end of the cruise and it'll be credited to your final shipboard tab.
Upon entering the ship, the Promenade Deck with its center 3-deck Atrium is breathtaking. There are clear, rounded elevator shafts with bronze carvings of sea life (whales, dolphins, vegetation, shell, etc.) extending three decks high. Each exposed deck hanging over the Atrium is beautiful, with gracefully curved stairways.
There are many beautiful shops circling the Atrium that will entice you. There are needed sundry shops (latest pocket books, aspirin, plus the usual necessities of life), clothing shops, cosmetic shops, a camera shop, a Starbuck's-type coffee shop and a jewelry shop and a gift shop.
Again, you can use your winning $50 credit in any of these nice emporiums.
Be a winner! Be one of the first 20! Call Wanda Monday first thing at 1-800-266-1167 and book your cabin.
If you win, remember.....you have to buy the entire freeper contingent a drink. I'll have a Rum Bahama Mama, please.

Your ol' Bahama Mama is so proud of herself. A roomie connection for the cruise was successfully completed today to the delight of all parties involved, including yours truly. Woo hoo!
Now, we need another connection. We have a long-time, fun-lovin' freeper gal who's looking for a ditto to share the fare. I know this freeper personally and she'll be a wonderful cruising companion.
Freepmail me at "MinuteGal" if you're interested. Don't dither around, cabins are being snapped up as we speak. Take the plunge and I promise you, you'll be very, very happy you did.

I saw a comment about "formal night" somewhere on this thread. I had sent the URL of this thread to my wife and she saw it too and that's just her cup of tea! It isn't mine but I generally go along with her.
How formal is it? Tux? If so, I'd have to rent one. Are there rentals on board?
I know, I know, I ask a lot of dumb questions.
