Cruise to the Eastern Caribbean on the Emerald Princess

I just home from a 7 nights cruise to the Eastern Caribbean on the Emerald Princess. The weather was wonderful... 80 degrees all week and sun shine. My flight from Pittsburgh to Fort Lauderdale was cancelled and I ended up flying to Jacksonville and driving to Fort Lauderdale. The ship held about 3000 persons and it was full.

While on the Emerald Princess we visited ST Thomas where I spent the day at Megans Bay getting a sun tan. The water was very calm and wonderful for snorkeling. Princess now docks at the Crown yards in St Thomas. It takes less time to get into downtown . There are many shops so you don't have to go to town to shop.
