  1. To the right is a stairway where the people crowded to get close to the puffins . We waited until they left and moved down . Puffins flying over and feeding in the water .
  2. Borgarfjörður eystri Marina To the left was a platform for viewing the birds in the water fishing
  3. Over the mountains Through the fog To Lindarbakki Home of the Elf Queen
  4. Agreed . As a reference price before we ever did the Chef's Table on Princess , we went to Victoria's and Alberts at the Disney Grand Floridan Hotel . It was long time ago and so I just checked their prices . This is the lowest current price - $ 295 p.p. The Queen's Room was $375 p.p. and the Chef 's Table was $ 425 p.p. all without wine , tax or gratuity ! Guess who's not going again soon ? https://allears.net/dining/menu/victoria-and-alberts/dinner/ The Dining Room Victoria & Albert's Dining Room7-course "Tasting Menu" Prix Fixe Menu Begins at $295 per Guest.

  6. Thank you so much for the map , it's perfect
  7. Thank you , this exactly what we needed .
  8. I posted the wrong thread for the Enchanted Princess . This is the correct one .
  9. We have never been to Falmouth , Cornwall so we're trying to find out were to go and what to see based on where we land .
  10. Can anyone tell me where the Water Shuttles from the Caribbean Princess dock on shore ? Thank you
  11. We have not been on Princess for a number of years before Covid . But our last cruise on Princess came for our 44th Anniversary when we saw a room , itinerary and a price that we liked just before the sail date . It was from our home port with no travel expenses so we could afford an upgrade . It was on a newer ship that we have not been on , the Enchanted Princess . So we hopped on the ship and named the thread Some Enchanted Evening . So , if you would like a free trip to the Southern Caribbean , you can read about it here :
  12. We did do some booking this week . 2 nights in London where we're really looking forward to the Royal Horseguards Hotel across from the London Eye . Photo from Wikipedia We booked the Phantom of the opera for Thursday night . Our video of Unity singing on a cruise . We choose our favorite Virgin Airline to London this upcoming trip . Business for the flat bed seat on the redeye over and Premium Economy for the day flight return . Photos from Premium Economy . Large WC for a plane Lunch and a nap Business Class The Clubhouse in London is our favorite and included with Business Our oldest Grandson was on this trip with us to the Baltic from South Hampton . Up the stairs is a Library and an open area outdoors
  13. The cheese course and the Dessert wine Dessert Choice of the gourmandises To the ladies , will you accept this rose ? The gentleman got Cook Books . Does this mean I have to cook for my wife ? The price for all of this ? It is just $ 100 p.p. now but it cost more when we had this meal .
  14. If you have an appetite , please bring it to the Chef's Table . Synchronized service of the first course The second course Second course with Gray Goose gravy ( more gravy please ) The main course Tenderloin was flambéed but the Rack of Lamb was cooked in the galley . It was a real pleasure watching an artist like Chef Naveen work . Like seeing Rembrandt paint and not just seeing the finished product . The Cellar Master describing the next wine
  15. Thank you . You sound like us . First we heard about it , next we became very intrigued . Finally we booked it and the other things related to it like plane tickets , hotel rooms for 3 days , etc. and lastly , we're writing about it as we do it , so it's Live
  16. Seated at the table , photo op before we made a mess of the place Murano Glass centerpiece reminds us of a Sea Anemone that we saw SCUBA diving on the trip .
  17. The Bistro Fontina Mini Tartlet . This was my wife's favorite and she thanked the Chef . He latter brought her the recipe . Maitre d'hotel Patricio shows his approval of the Roasted potatoes with Sour Cream and Osetra Cavier while Chef Naveen describes the preparation of it . The Brie Lollipop One last photo of the amazing under the sea art of vegetable carving and arranging before removing our coats outside and returning to the dining room .
  18. Our Chef's Table on the Regal February 11 , 2016 We had to scrub up first and wear a lab coat in the Kitchen Chef Naveen with the first of 5 Hors D' Oeuvres DW with the shrimp Margarita . Note empty flute , it's hard to eat and drink at the same time Carmen Miranda Seahorse Duck !
  19. Good surprise # 2 When chatting with Princess this week we found out something new . Our friends have never cruised Princess before but they had heard us talk about the Chef 's Table . We were concerned that with a party of 7 , it would be hard to be picked . But , when we talked to Princess we found out that there would be 4 Chef ' s Tables and she then asked if we would like to book now ? Even better , we will have a Kitchen Tour like the old days BC ( before Covid ) . Yeah Princess !
  20. When we booked this cruise this week , we got 3 prices . CC was first but they linked us to Princess . Our TA was second and an unnamed agency was 3rd . They all had the same price on the same room . One thing that we noticed on the unnamed agency was that they worked with a company that could finance the cruise for 18 months . We phoned our TA and she had not heard of the company . She checked up on them and applied to offer this service to all of her future bookings . The company said that it would take 10 days to process and approve of her . There was a 35% reduction in price and we asked if we could book this cruise with the agency with no hard feelings since we needed to get busy . With her approval , we booked with the agency . The agent that we spoke to gave us about $ 500 credit to spend on board only as a loyalty perk and about a $ 2000 price reduction !! Cruise deal done ! Is this a great country or what ? 🦅
  21. Sorry for the powered scrambled eggs appearance of the previous post . I copied and pasted it from Princess but this is not the way it looked on their web sight . Perhaps I will have to work on my proper English as I speak mostly American and it sometimes gets lost in translation . 😉

  23. You're welcome . We usually book aft corner suites on our other favorite cruise line for the wake show . The only full suites that we saw were the Penthouse Suites on the side . We chose Starboard as it faces the land the most . We like your locations . We went to Kauai and San Francisco for our anniversary last March .
