It’s 3:45pm EST. We are in Fort Lauderdale and soon we’ll attend the customary safety drill. Our cruise on the Crown Princess departs at 5pm.
Derek and I had no problems on the flight yesterday. We flew first class and enjoyed every minute of it. Did you know military families may now use the first class security line? I didn’t. Consequently, the wait was as long as in the regular line, which was kind of annoying. Then three flight attendants literally pushed me aside at the scanner because “the other line stopped moving.”
Other than those annoyances, all has gone well. We spent the night at a Marriott Residence Inn. We both woke up early but managed to squeeze in a nap prior to checking out of the hotel. After returning the rental car, we checked in at the Crown Princess. Then, we spent the last couple eating, wandering, filling out paperwork for our scuba diving excursion, and finally unpacking our clothes.
This is my sixteenth cruise, twelve of which have been on Princess Cruise line! Amazingly, all sixteen of those cruises have been in the last seven years. Wow!

John,
Hi. This is Joel from the cruise. Derek & I sang together in the “Princess Pop Choir” and at most Karaoke nights. Hope you guys are well. Just wanted to let you & Derek know that my wife videoed all 6 songs we sang in the Piazza at our big “performance” , and posted them on You Tube under “Princess Pop Choir Crown Princess Feb 25 2011″. So if you’re in the mood for some fond memories of an awesome cruise, check them out. Best regards, Joel & Dalia
