Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. There is also an official website from the EU to review regarding the ETIAS. https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_en UK also has an ETA. Not active yet for US, but apparently sometime this years per the official UK site. https://www.etauk.uk/
  2. I first tried I during my travels. It agree it is delicious. Trying different types of food I’ve never had before is a great part of travel for me. 😀
  3. The Hard Rock Cafe’s Messi food line (including the chicken sandwich) maybe messy to eat, but it’s not named after a restaurant’s chef. It is named after Lionel Messi, is either the greatest or one of the greatest football (aka soccer) players in the world. He currently plays for the Miami Football Club in MLS. He’s got a marketing deal with Hard Rock Cafe, as he’s known worldwide.
  4. Just got off Ruby Princess on Sunday and the paper was labeled as The Patter. On the Wake Show, the cruise director Cole said the Patter (which he also called as such) was a curated view of events and using the listings in the app would provide even more activities. I didn’t feel the need to bring copies of any Patter home. But it really was called the Patter from Sept 14-24, 2023 on the Ruby Princess, whether you believe me or not.
  5. Last fall, Texas Roadhouse had a contest to win a Princess Cruise.
  6. Not a power strip, but worked fine for me on Ruby Princess earlier this month. Has outlets and USB-A (older style) & USB-C (new style) included in each.
  7. This YouTube video has the most recent Crooners menu.
  8. I ate in the buffet Monday at lunch (at the less crowded Cafe Caribe) and Friday (a port day) at lunch on the port side. And I didn’t walk thru on Saturday or this morning. I walked thru on all of the other days. Plenty of places to eat besides the buffet, so I prefer to eat at them (even did new Sabatini’s menu twice), and had meals at each of the dining rooms, including Botticelli (instead of the normal DaVinci) for breakfast this morning. As noted, I even had DaVinci for embarkation lunch (which opened at 1:30 and ran thru 3).
  9. Just off Ruby Princess March 5 - 12, 2023, and now sitting at IAH waiting for flight. Cruise boarding started at 1:30 pm on the 5th. They listed boarding groups and time on emergency notification, but I arrived at 12:15 and was quickly up to Suite & Elite seating area (small lines). Shore staff apologized for no beverages and pastry in this seating areas, as restrictions due to prior cruise. Kids clubs were supposed to be closed for 72 hours but then were allowed to reopen after 36 hours from sailing. Having no children, this was not a problem for me. The crew serving the passengers in the buffet throughout the Cruise. Not sure if related to prior week issue, but fruits for juice bar came late and they opened at 9 instead of 7. It appeared rest of morning they started at 7. This is at Calypso bar. They served the bread and butter in the dining rooms, as well as sugar and sweetener, when these were wanted. Salt and Pepper shakers were consistently present on tables in the dining rooms from boarding. Porters did apparently stop taking luggage on 5th at certain point (seems to be about 2:30) so many had to carry all bags on to ship. Checked bags with porters came later as well (was in room after dinner). By the way, since boarding was delayed, DaVinci dining room opened on embarkation day for lunch from 1:30 to 3. This was a pleasant surprise. It really was a normal cruise (from my experience), and we had to the most beautiful weather in the 3 ports and at sea.
  10. Renewal was bit quicker for me! Expedited Renewal including sending express one day and paying for same for return mailed on Thursday, April 28. Had new passport exactly 27 days later. Took 7 more weeks after new passport sent for old passport to be returned.
  11. This isn’t Princess posting this. This 3rd-party website has put a description of what the Majestic Princess has when it first started sailing in 2017, and pasted it into a Discovery Princess. Princess says nothing about these for Discovery Princess. But why look at Princess site when you can find wrong information elsewhere on the Internet? By the way, I know what the Majestic had on it 2017, as I was on on its 3rd cruise in Europe (before it went to Asia). I also was on the Discovery in April, on the 3rd and 4th cruise.
  12. I was on B2B Discovery Princess cruises in April and had no issues at all with pillows. Even ordered more down pillows thru Medallion app (you could get down or non-down) and they were great also. If I had a pillow issue on any ship, they would have heard about it on the ship until it was resolved.
