Thanks everyone for the helpful replies. Since we are retired in Florida we've been thinking it would be easy to do multiple short cruises and get to platinum status pretty quick.

Having never done a b2b, would we have to get off the ship with all our luggage each time or how does that work?

Also, do the b2b2b cruises have to be a certain length or could we do three 4 or 5 days together?

Just wondering since it takes six cruises to get to platinum status, would Princess count a b2b2b as one cruise or three?

Are you using a phone or camera for these pics, as they are beautiful!

On the Regal in December we first called the night before to order breakfast and asked for poached eggs and fresh berries but they said not available, so we just checked off the boxes for something else.

Later on we found out you can pretty much get anything including the above, lox bagels and cream cheese, assorted pastries, if you write it on the door tag. We then had fabulous breakfasts several days on our balcony and we were not in a suite.

Thank you for all the replies. I like the idea of the Starbucks or McDonald's, I don't know why I didn't think of that. I guess because I never go to either of them.

Also, didn't know about the ecards so that is great!

Yes, we are. We are Kay & Steve from Manitowoc, WI.

Awesome! We are Paula and Denny from North Ft. MYers, FL. Hopefully we'll see you at the M&G.

Does anyone know if the library Internet is free or pay as you go possibly? We don't need an Internet package as only need to log on two or three times for a couple of minutes over the 10 days.

Thanks

On the Regal in December they had rice milk and lactose free regular milk available in the MDR and buffet and I also got them with room service when requested. I put in my request for this cruise so I'm assuming it will be the same availability on my February 28 Royal cruise.

Have you looked into BritBox or AcornTV? Not sure if they'd have it but it would be worth a try.

We have both of those (in USA) and they don't have the cruise.

Are you on the Royal Princess, Feb. 28th? If so, we are also and have booked this tour.

I LOVE my pink Himalayan sea salt. The taste and texture is nothing like regular old Mortons.

FYI the Crown Grille has 3 different specialty Sea salts you can try. One is pink Himalayan, another is black volcanic and I forgot the third.

No way, no how even if they are the best behaved angels on earth. I would trust my kids but trusting other drinking adults that may be in their vicinity, when I'm not within shouting distance, is not something I would ever do.

I just booked this tour on tripadvisor with glory tours, who seem to have very high ratings here and on trip advisor. They are currently offering half price ($24 pp) for this tour, which is plenty for us old folks. So this is just an FYI for anyone who may be interested.

That just sucks. Was checking out yesterday and got distracted and had two cases in my cart. Just went to checkout now and pay and got the message Out of Stock.

We stayed a few doors down on December cruise and had no problems with noise. We thought it was a great location.

Play nice, people! :) It depends on the cruise length, locations, etc.! The last 3 cruises I've been on, longer, not to the Caribbean or Alaska, I have not seen much casual clothes in the evening at all, certainly no shorts or tee shirts.

 

I had a near catastrophe in the piazza, walking down steps with my long skirt, fortunately had 2 men in front of me who were able to catch me when I slipped. Came home, sent skirt to my niece, bought fancy, silky slacks! Got rid of my heels, bought some sensible black flats, don't really care what others think, it was a scary moment.

What she said ^^^^^

Azbirdmom ... Sorry to hijack this thread but tell Henry that Dixie Lee just reopened under new owners. Already making the crumb buns!!

Oh thank you. That's exactly what happened. I didn't understand the difference in the terminology. [emoji12]

I don't know what they did with the two other FCD's but unless somethings changed recently that people on CC don't know about they only applied one for each person.

You might be receiving payment back from Princess in the near future for the two other FCD's.

 

Applying your logic to booking, I would be buying as many as possible for my cruises and I know that that's not possible.

We all wish it were. LOL :D:D

Have you checked you Princess personalizer to see if you still have two more unused?

I just checked and don't have any unused FCD's. They applied both, $400 total to this one cruise and charged the balance of $366 to my Princess credit card.

OP: try calling Princess (try several different times if you get a "no") and ask to reverse one of the FCDs for each of you.

 

If you're able to do that, save them for a future use. Don't use more than one at a time.;)

Thanks. That's what I'm going to do because being new at this I didn't realize I would be wasting the two extra obc's. Final payment has already been made so not sure if I'll get anywhere but going to try.

I think the OP still has 2 more FCC's he doesn't realize he has. :)

No I don't. We used all four cruise credits on this feb cruise.
