Hi all, Just booked my 2nd Princess cruise, 36th cruise overall. I like to watch YouTube to get an idea of the ports and ship. Royal has a blogger called "Royal Caribbean Blog" who creates wonderful content for Royal. Does Princess have a content creator on YouTube I should watch? BTW, I'm also a cruise content creator for YouTube, but I don't specialize in any particular line

While it's great that you're trying to plan activities, here's my two cents, being an Activity Director myself: 1.) While it's great that you can look up the previous cruise's activity schedule, please note that this isn't set in stone. Activities rarely go according to plan. I've gone to activities where there was no power and the engine was stopped. I've also gone to shows where at least one performer had a sub due to being out with COVID. 2.) Sometimes activities run behind or are canceled due to unforseen circumstances. To get an idea of what activities might be offered and a little behind-the-scenes of planning activities for a cruise ship, see "Love At Sea", which was filmed on Harmony Of The Seas.

Prepping for my next cruise. We got redirected from Haiti to Puerto Plata.

I read about that online before my Oasis cruise. Honestly, I wouldn't even dream of wearing my Crocs on a zipline (and I practically LIVE in Crocs!). What if one of them were to slide off during the zipline? Someone could get hurt.

I've done that many times....I work in senior care. If it starts to swell (as mine did once), go have it X-Rayed. Keep it elevated and iced.

No, you don't. I cruise heavily with both RC and X. While they both offer tier match up to Elite/Diamond, when you're cruising you're only earning points for that line. For example, I'll be in Liberty in June for 10 nights. Those points only count towards my C&A points, not my CC points. Conversely, when I go on The Connie in January, I'll be getting 30 points towards my CC account, not my C&A account.

I've been recovering from the flu....anyone wanna trade?

Hi all! My niece and I are debating on trying this slide, is it scary or fun? I'm a bit concerned as I've heard of people getting hurt, namely at the top where the rollers are. I do have a back issue caused by a previous injury where I strained my back. If we decide to try it, my niece and I are going together. Neither of us have a fear of heights (both have done the Ultimate Abyss many times, I zipline, and I've done a ropes course at the top of a ship).

I did it 7 times, my niece 17 times, and each of my parents did it once. It's now our favorite way to christen Oasis class ships. It's not scary, it's quite fun! There's all sorts of lights going off so you get a light show! They give you a toboggan to ride in, which slows you down. Keep your elbows in and chin down. Hang onto the strap on the toboggan and you'll be fine.

Most of your packing questions can be answered by the time of year you're going, length of the cruise, and ports of call. Let me explain: You could be going on a 7 day cruise to the carribbean, but if you're going in winter, you'll need coats and long pants for the first few and last few days. The further north you are, the colder it will be. However, if you're going on a 7 day cruise in the Fall or Spring, the most you may need would be light jackets. Also, if you're going in the summer, you wouldn't need jackets at all! Likewise, the longer the cruise, the more you'll need to pack. You'll need more clothes for a 7 day cruise than a 3 day one. All that said, if you're going to colder climates, you'll need more long pants and jackets. I see you're going on an Alaskan cruise, so you'll probably need clothing for colder temps

What's your price point? Icon is the newest of those ships and will be the most costly.

I'm not Elite yet.

I'm not Elite yet, but I will be as of New Year's Day! I'll be Diamond on Royal just before my birthday next year...happy birthday to me!

Good to know as I will be Diamond after my next cruise, but I'm cruising with others who turned Diamond last cruise.
