A couple of videos of the Lido fountain

The cooking demonstrations are always amusing and a galley tour follows, but I've seen a number of them and they all follow the same theme.

I forgot to go back for the pan lesson

A couple of bartenders at Vines. One of my two favorite bars - almost never that busy.

This morning only the first names and last initials were displayed, but why I really took the picture, for those who don't know, is the Do Not Disturb feature and the Service the Room feature. Princess doesn't have do not disturb signs to put on the outside handle. Instead you press the Privacy Please button until the room number banner goes red. Press it again to turn it off. Pressing the Service Stateroom displays a green banner. It would also turn off the Privacy Please, if on.

Not my room, but what the display outside the room looked like until this morning.

Glad I parked in the Express Lot - it is adjacent to the terminal and an easy walk and exit.

When the time finally came, holy toledo

What I wanted to get pictures of was the thermal pool and will have to try it when I have a longer cruise with more sea days.

Debarkation was extra slow today (so was last week). I was in the last group and we were a couple of hours late. So I had time for a few last pictures. Nobody was a the Spa which also meant there was nobody to stop me from taking a self-guided tour. This couples room has possibilities

There was a dedicated waiting area for Suites, Elites, and Platinum guests. They had coffee and continental breakfast. Of course one deck down, so did International Cafe, but there was a line for them. I got there late and pickings were slim. The temperature of the room was set to Arctic.

I don't see that bridge open often but it might

I might as well keep the random order going and start with today. This jumbo thing is a car carrier.

Service was good, but speed depends on how many people are drinking there. I tend to go where the crowds aren't and get great service.

Good Spirits - next to International Cafe

Perhaps you were reading about Princess. Just off a b2b cruise on Regal Princess and both embarkation and debarkation were horrible. Everything in between was great, though

I think it was about an hour. You are allowed to carry on 12 cans (not bottles) of soda per person at Embarkation. That should be sufficient.

Of course there are a multitude of reasons, but I think removing tips is one of the top reasons.

Why not use a kiosk for that and avoid the guest services line?

This was interesting. The app said it might take up to 30 minutes but was closer to an hour. But I did order a course from both specialty restaurants, a cocktail or two, and a glass of wine. The food was surprisingly good and while not piping hot, certainly warm and good enough.

Me too. I did a b2b. This pizza had "normal" and other pepperoni. As in US vs European. I think they are trying to use up the European as soon as possible.

If there were separate lines for that, do you think your line would be the longest?
