Royal Princess December 2008

[elliotruth]

Anyone else going?

Are you leaving on the 9th or the 23rd? Our family is booked for Dec. 23rd...

[elliotruth]

We are leaving on the 9th. We will keep everything shipshape for you.

Did they tell you that if you go to Devil's Island you must have a Yellow Fever innoculation?

[coronita]

Yes, they did tell us that. I think they recommended no sooner than 3 mos before and that we would need to bring the innoculation certificate with us. According to their literature, there are a few other ports we will visit (they escape me now) that also require the yellow fever.

I am so curious about Devil's Island! I hope you will post your experiences on the site when you return.

Have you ever sailed the Royal before? Our first experience with Princess was this past Spring Break, on the Golden. Our only complaint was the layout of the cafeteria. Poorly planned.

[elliotruth]

We have never been on Royal, although we have been on some of the larger Princess ships. The opportunity to try this smaller Princess ship was one of the reasons we chose this cruise.

It is our understanding that some of the other ports require the yellow fever shot is that we have been to Devil's Island.

I will try to post after our visit there and let you know what we found.
