Hot tub temp about 96. Leaving Juneau outside temp about 43. We have seen about seven or so other people at Vibe this week. We’ve been enjoying our private bar service cookies, fruit kebabs, drinks, and even choice of cabanas. Amazing service from our wonderful bartenders Benedict and Gda. Definitely worth the $ for us. Even if we don’t use it everyday. We got super lucky with the weather and it was 62 at sail away from Seattle. We’ve had mostly all sun dayys with more scheduled the rest of the week! ❤️ 

 

Nice to know the hot tubs are hot! People always complain they are lukewarm.

Following for recommendations on Iceland/Norway shore excursions

The Garden Cafe has nice outside seating for al fresco dining. For cool dining climates, there are heaters in the ceilings. 

 

Breakfast Time

Cinnamon Rolls look yummy 

Thanks for the info. This will be my first time sailing on Princess in a suite.

Just off the Sky in February. Our favorite spot was Bellini’s, listen to music in Piazza, grab a snack from International Cafe. In buffet around 3 pm everyday the afternoon tea sandwiches and scones show up, get some goodies, your tea and a table with a view. The Rock Opera was great, be sure to get there early for a seat, it filled up fast. There are so many things to see and do. Enjoy your cruise!

Thanks for the info!

I agree with others, dining room lunch on embarkation day is the best way to slide into your cruise vacation.  Don't ask the staff where it is.  Once on board, drop off your carryons in your cabin, maybe put some clothing away so you aren't living out of suitcases.  Run the safety video on the television while you are unpacking (you have to watch it to satisfy the virtual muster, anyway), and then head down to the Piazza.  Look around, the dining room that has its doors open is the one that is serving lunch.  In my experience it is the dining room on deck 5 at the bottom of the Piazza that usually is open for lunch on embarkation day.  It can change, but my experience is that it has always been deck 5.  If not deck 5, then the dining room that is one level up on 6.  Operating hours are like 11 to 1:30 or noon to 1:30.  It is a very small window.

 

Remain flexible in your travels, and you'll enjoy them more.

Thanks!

CruiseNext is a different program.  You buy CN certs onboard ships, not just for US but on any NCL ships.
 

During Covid when ships were not sailing, NCL came out with CF program, to sell to people who can order online or on phone in US/Canada (i.e. don't need to be on ship).

Got it!.

Holy cruises, doll! I just checked out your signature. You're more experienced with cruising than most of the so-called experts here! Now I know why your posts are always so positive and accurate. Sheesh - sorry I missed this for so long. 

There are soooo many people who cruise way more than me but thanks! Life is too short to be negative and I only answer when I know the answer

Too bad this doesn't apply to CruiseFirst certs.  (I have $250 CF certs for $500 value.)

What's CruiseFirst? 

My TA  added a third certificate  to a upcoming 2024 and 2025 booked cruises.

I suggest that you post this screen shot on your Roll Call just in case some people do not get it either from NCL or their TA.

I did

Think it used to be 6 bottles for Garden Villas, but now 3...

 

Hmmm, think I'll need a Vodka, Gin and Bourbon.

Anyone have the list?

Will they provide Simple Syrup and Bitters? (I need to be able to mix an Old Fashioned).

Assume Tonic water isn't an issue for G&T. 

 

We got 6 bottles in the Garden Villa on the Jewel last year

There is an awesome video on YouTube for that exact cabin.
 

 

The balcony is HUGE!!!  We have it booked again in December as well. And again in Feb 2025. I think it’s the best cabin in the entire Princess fleet!

This cabin is AWESOME! We will be in it for 15 nights! I can't wait!

I found this photo helpful in identifying the size of the rear balconies on the Sky Princess. Deck 15 is right below the pool in this picture.

Wow, I'm booked in D26 on March 2025. Thanks for posting

I just booked this as well for my Fall 2024 transatlantic crossing, I prepaid for one bag of laundry washed and folded and Premium Dry cleaning for up to 12 items.  I'll be gone for two and a half week and I don't plan on bringing so many outfits that I only have to wear stuff once.

 

Look under the Gift and Gear section of your cruise planner.

Thanks! Just booked the dry cleaning special.

On one of these threads, I read that the retractable glass roof was non-operational. This may have already been asked and answered. Does anyone know if the retractable glass roof has been fixed and is operational?
