  1. I do love a dry Irish stout but am not partial to Guinness. However I can drink Black and Tan after Black and Tan. I’m sure an Irishman sees that as an abomination, but I like what I like.
  2. You can get help with connecting to intranet at Guest Services. You may also find someone at the Internet cafe who can help.
  3. Driving on narrow roads is different than being driven on narrow roads. I might have lost a side mirror on a Wales rental car. But what a place to see castles! I see mustard again!
  4. I’d have bought one of each of those jars of mustard. I once met a woman who had a separate fridge for mustard. She had over 80 varieties on hand. I’m not that weird.
  5. You’ll have to smuggle it on in a vodka bottle.
  6. We used to own a Buick Century. It was clearly not meant to last 100 years.
  7. I’m so pleased that this isn’t coming to an end. I have enjoyed every post. I wish you would receive a commission for every Princess cruise booked by your NCL followers.
  8. Our next cruise in April is LA to Vancouver on Grand Princess. Not as convenient for us Floridians as Port Canaveral or Port Everglades. But Mrs BV is demanding a cooler cruise that the last one (Enchanted Western Caribbean in June).
  9. How do you manage to cruise anonymously?
  10. The shuttle driver will help you transfer luggage from the shuttle to the porters. If that’s an issue that is driving your decision.
  11. Every hour at sea is happy hour. But there is no discount on drinks.
  12. There can be a disconnect between the app and reality. Mine arrived while the app was still telling me it was too late to order them.
  13. Crown Grill bar for us. Mostly because it was less busy.
  14. Bourbon and coke sounds like someone who is planning to consume all 15 every day.
  15. I have had no issue ordering 2 beers at a time from room service, but it can be slow. They do come unopened and there has been a bottle opener in each of my cabins. Of course, I have a backup on my keychain just in case.
  16. Read the previous post. As they say, YMMV.
  17. I think since 75% of passengers have a package, Princess doesn’t feel compelled to offer much from the top shelf. My preference is Basil Hayden’s, which I have not found on board 3 Princess ships. Unlike you, I am happy with Woodford Reserve and despise Makers Mark. I did find Bulleit on Enchanted as well. Ryes are certainly lacking but not nearly as popular as bourbon where I drink. Also casual observation from hours spent sitting at bars on ships, few passengers order their whiskey straight. Most are having it in a cocktail where the flavor is diluted and top shelf liquor is wasted.
  18. Three weeks ago on Enchanted, door decorations were common. A lot of cruise, graduation and Father’s Day related magnets on our deck. Nothing political. One upside down pineapple.
  19. Thanks for the review. In many ways it mirrors our experience 3 weeks ago. I can still picture the grumpy bartenders at Crown Grill bar. We were on 12 with Aeron and Leo as cabin attendants. They were overworked but cheerful.
  20. I could see into the bridge from my balcony on enchanted. Cabin A205. But just a glimpse.
  21. It really doesn’t matter. I have never asked someone for their wireless fidelity password.
  22. From Wikipedia: Etymology and terminology The name Wi-Fi, commercially used at least as early as August 1999,[30] was coined by the brand-consulting firm Interbrand. The Wi-Fi Alliance had hired Interbrand to create a name that was "a little catchier than 'IEEE 802.11b Direct Sequence'."[31][32] According to Phil Belanger, a founding member of the Wi-Fi Alliance, the term Wi-Fi was chosen from a list of ten names that Interbrand proposed.[31] Interbrand also created the Wi-Fi logo. The yin-yang Wi-Fi logo indicates the certification of a product for interoperability.[33] The name is often written as WiFi, Wifi, or wifi, but these are not approved by the Wi-Fi Alliance. The name Wi-Fi is not short-form for 'Wireless Fidelity',[34] although the Wi-Fi Alliance did use the advertising slogan "The Standard for Wireless Fidelity" for a short time after the brand name was created,[31][33][35] and the Wi-Fi Alliance was also called the "Wireless Fidelity Alliance Inc." in some publications.[36] IEEE is a separate, but related, organization and their website has stated "WiFi is a short name for Wireless Fidelity".[37][38] The name Wi-Fi was partly chosen because it sounds similar to Hi-Fi, which consumers take to mean high fidelity or high quality. Interbrand hoped consumers would find the name catchy, and that they would assume this wireless protocol has high fidelity because of its name.[39]
