Have your plans changed Jim or did you mean to say Silhouette back to Florida ?

Don’t want to hijack the OP but we are very interested in beach options. What’s close by and are there rental facilities? (Chairs etc )

I do love the Sunset Bar - but I don't like drinking wine out of plastic glasses so avoid it for my "wine needs". lol

We haven’t sailed Princess in a few years. We have the Premier package. Am I correct in thinking that includes automatic mailing of our medallions to us pre cruise, and some kind of holder ?

My mistake. Seems there is no Craft Social on Edge The Club also had some higher end options.

We have found Craft Social has a wide variety of wines and some not found elsewhere on board.

Following along. Enjoy! We love Silhouette and will bring her back to Fll in the fall on our first TA.

Enjoying all the recommendations but I too am still looking for Chardonnay recommendations!

Keep checking your bookings. Mine didn't have any discount until today - 35% off. Booked with OBC and will continue to hope/watch for the 50% off sale sometime. I don't think about what I'm saving, but rather with the sale the upgrade cost for us is just under $10 pp/pd all in. Well worth it to us.

I'll put you in the "this is just plain wrong" category. 🫢

You know I love your live reviews when I wake up in the morning and my first thought is "did Mr. and Mrs Norway make it to FLL last night". HaHa Love to read your reviews. Rest up today.

If AC changed it my experience is that they will allow you to select something that better suits your needs.

We’ve done it in the past. It is doable but you can’t account for delays. That said in November we had an 11 am flight. Did self walk off but ship was delayed getting cleared. Finally left the ship at 830 and were through security at the airport before 915.

In November at least. As I said, it may depend on the terminal/your carrier. We use Air Canada and have never been allowed to check in more than 2-3 hours ahead.

Operations at FLL may have changed. You should verify you can check in/get through security/drop luggage early. At least for the terminal we use, the max advance time is three hours.

Thanks Port Royal. That's the pictures I had seen. I will monitor over the next couple of weeks before we arrive. I'm not much of a beach person if that's the situation.

We were a group of 14 (12 adults 2 toddlers) on Beyond recently. I know you said you like to sit together but we sat "nearby" each other, with groups of six, four and four or similar. That way people could come and go for lunch or a walk or a gold by the inch sale or whatever and there was still a good mass of occupied seats in the smaller groupings. We will also usually try to get some seats in the shade and some in the sun, which moves around during the day so we can also switch it up. That said, even in those smaller groupings, I was often on deck before 7:00 a.m. and many chairs were taken... or "reserved".

We are heading to St. Martin later this month and have a beach day planned at Big Bastards Beach Bar. I am seeing recent pictures and reports of significant sargassum. I know it changes daily and with the tides, but any update from recent visitors would be welcome. Thanks.

Haven’t cruised yet but I cancelled Roxy’s.

You are correct. If the cruise is truly just a 7 day you are doing b2b no difference.

Seems like I'm in the minority, but I would prefer a 14 day over 2 7 day B2B. I find the last day and the first day of any cruise a bit more "chaotic" on board, with the feeling like they are ready to get rid of me, or up-selling me on day 1 so I would rather avoid those "hassles" (minor as they may be!).

We were on in November for an extended family gathering, with a 1 and a 3 year old. Note there is no kiddies pool, and children must be toilet trained to use the pool - not even swim diapers allowed. That said, both sets of parents found the kids club/toddler area kept the kids entertained on a daily basis when open.

Hello all - am looking to book a Princess cruise after many years away (mostly on Celebrity). Booking for the Hawaii RT option which is hard to find. I have a particular cabin in mind, category B4. Does the one category upgrade offer mean I should be priced at the B3 price, and is this even something worth mentioning to my TA. She's already quoted me a price and perks but its been awhile as I said and I just want to ensure I'm getting the best deal. Thanks.

Thank you for this clear description.

Is there an option to pay for a bag of laundry ?
