Default Princess Covers the Caribbean!

Hi Everyone,

I received this press release from Princess and thought it would be of
interest. I suggest those of you that are thinking of booking a
cruise to do it soon. We are seeing many sold out sailings. Cabins
that are available are often times going up in price. If you have
missed any of my news' postings, they are available on my web site.

Best regards,
Ray

PRINCESS COVERS THE CARIBBEAN WITH 11 ITINERARIES IN 2005-06
Six-Ship Fleet Features Youngest Vessels in the Region, Including
Year-round Caribbean Princess

Caribbean cruise vacationers will continue to benefit from Princess'
commitment to this region in 2005-06, as an extensive selection of 11
itineraries will cover 25 ports in the tropical waters Western,
Eastern and Southern Caribbean.
Six Princess ships will sail on seven-day, 10-day and 14-day
itineraries from Ft. Lauderdale, San Juan and Galveston, each offering
an enchanting blend of Caribbean culture. New this season, the line

"Our Caribbean program really will offer the finest fleet in the
region," said Jan Swartz, Princess' senior vice president of customer
service and sales. "Having the youngest fleet, with an average age of
five years, means our passengers enjoy some of the newest features

screen. And our ships have the highest percentage of balconies in the
Caribbean, with more than half our staterooms sporting this popular
feature."
