And my comments on low salt - We are on a 33 night cruise. On a shorter cruise, we just eat the salt and take water pills. This would not work for 33 nights. We did request "no added salt". We order the night before. But, their idea of no added salt is no cheese, sauce, mashed potatoes, spices of any kind. Each meal we get a protein, broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots. Each meal looks and tastes the same. We have crossed the Princess World Cruise off our list. We could not eat like this for over 100 days. Also, every fish dish has been over cooked. We have done a 140 night cruise on another line. We ate the same food as everybody else. They just took the time to make the sauce, soups, mashed potatoes especially for us and the rest of the low salt group with NO ADDED SALT. Good news is - we are losing weight!

Currently on the Majestic. Many people have secured the same table for the entire cruise. Most of our section is "reserved". This also previously worked on the Caribbean and Discovery. Which ships did it not work on?

Early morning typo. How about the Majestic?

Currently on Mirage. MDR all close at 9:30 pm. Buffet closes at 10 pm. Alfredo's closes at 11 pm. International cafe is open all night. I believe room service also goes all night.

Another vote for renting a car. Enterprise is across the street from the dock.

Make reservations in the same MDR at the same time each evening before you sail. During your first meal in the MDR, whether lunch or dinner, ask the Head Waiter if you can have that table for your entire cruise.

Checked our bill today. $63 in erroneous bar charges. You might want to check yours.

Just found the answer. It is effective September 14, not September 1. Does not affect us.

Assume this should read cruises starting after September 1. We board August 11 and disembark September 5. I would hate for this to go into effect mid cruise.

Brought a bottle of wine back on board with us. No questions asked.

By chance do you have the plus or premium package? I believe the corkage is waived if you have a package.

We arrived at 6:15 and were on the ship 20 minutes later. Dinner in the MDR. Love that pork tenderloin. Secured our table for the entire cruise. Not sure our cabin steward knows we are on the ship. No turn down. No shore excursion tickets. No invite to the Platinum/Elite Cocktail Hour. Two suitcases unpacked and we need about 30 more hangers. There is always tomorrow.

Live thread was started on March 27. You might want to use that one instead of starting a new one. Lots of information there.

I have ordered all of the vegetables from the main entrees. No protein, just vegetables. It works.

The internet is the most cost effective way for me to communicate with my children, grand-children, and my 94 year old Mother.
