Hello everyone!! I had previously booked a cruise on Carnival, however, katrina hit NO and cancelled our cruise. Carnival called us at midnight the night before we were to sail and cancelled (we were in Houston). They refunded the money and offered us nothing for the trouble. At any rate, it has taken this long for me to decide to go on another cruise. This time, my father invited me to go.....I couldn't pass that one up!!!
My question....
I am addicted to Dr Pepper (my coffee) and they do not provide that on the ship. Princess is picking us up from the airport and taking us to the ship the day we embark. We are traveling to Jamacia, Grand Cayman, Cozumel, and the Princess Cays. Can you get dr pepper in the ports? I don't think I can pack it in my checked luggage, can I?

Also, what are some definite MUST SEES/Do's for us? I am on a tight budget, as I am a single mom....but I want to have some fun as well...

I appreciate any and all comments!!!

You can NOT get Dr. Pepper at Princess Cays as that is their private island, beach day. It will be hit or miss in the other ports. I really dont have a solution for you.

You can risk it in your checked luggage, but if that can/bottle explodes in the air YIKES what a mess. Bubble wrap and plastic bags might be your best friend :lol

Given the timing of your arrival on the day of departure U might be able to catch a cab to the local grocery store and pick up some of your favorite beverage. =shrug.

As for what to do a LOT of that is personal preference but here are a few ideas.

Jamaica - U can NOT go wrong with a visit to Jimmy B's Margaritaville or perhaps Duns River Falls if that suits U.

Cozumel - Chankanaab Park is a nice stop or a visit downtown for some shopping and a nice COOL refreshment at Pedro's Backyard.

Grand Cayman - Captain Marvin's - Swim with the Stingrays to the Atlantis Sub ride are good things to do.

Princess Cays - Just a nice day at the beach is your only option.

Enjoy!!! :thumb
