I know a lot of people don't like Belize but we loved it. We took an open air tram ride around the city and out into the local neighborhoods. We felt it was safe, everything well maintained and clean. No garbage on the streets or sidewalks. Saw local businessmen and students in uniforms walking around. We really enjoyed our time there to see how the locals live. Definitely take the tender and look around.

No, I asked. She said they didn't make one. I was so looking forward to it after having it the first time-a real disappointment.

Had it for the first time 2 years ago on the Sunshine. Two months later on the Radiance they said they didn't have it. It's hit or miss depending on the ship I guess.

The pier is VERY long. I thought it would never end and I'm a good walker! Yes there are plenty of pedi cabs, they operate on tips. I didn't use them so not sure of what amount to tip.

In the past, I've written it on the form and they have provided it. I haven't ordered it lately though.

On the Princess Instagram app there are lots of upset passengers. Some comments say that customer service is telling them the February 28th cruise will be canceled and all cruises through March . I hope this isn't true.

If I were on the next few cruises I would definitely be looking at a plan B! Have an alternate vacation ready to go.

So..... Have we heard anything about the ship? Has it been repaired yet?

A local told us they always have them and the theme changes based on what's going on at the time. As you can see from my photo it was diabetes awareness.

I LOVE the way Carnival does Anytime Dining. When we're 5 minutes from walking out of our cabin door I put in our request. It's always been a 10-20 minute wait (except for one formal night that was 20-30) and by the time we get to the dining room our table is ready. I really wish Princess would do it that way. (we alternate between Princess and Carnival) It's a nightmare on them having to wait in line or hope you can get a reservation earlier in the day.

No, just what I found during my search. They will find you though! That's why I thought they were sketchy-they approached us waiting for our Uber.

I was there in November and they still had them.

I don't know about chairs, but yes, the drink package does work when on a Princess ship. Everything is included like on the ship, but not sure if they have a limited selection or not. We had some kind of rum punch they were making and I saw beers.

Why are you not an author??? I would buy your books.

Looked at it in the morning? I'm looking at menus 8 months in advance of my cruise and have already picked out what I'm going to eat everyday!

Don't expect that anytime soon. Princess got rid of them a few years ago.

Thanks, sounds easier. (maybe???)

What is the new debarkation system in the app?????

It's usually every sea day in the MDR around 3PM or so. You can get the free Lipton or upgrade to one of their better options. (I had the Cheers package so I got the tea for free, this time I'll bring my own since I won't have the Cheers package) You get your own pot of water and LOTS of food options.

I forgot about that. Last time I had the drink package, this time I won't. Let me go add tea bags to my packing list!

Thanks, I'll try it again at home, but probably not on the cruise. I'm with you, I can't handle the texture. (and the look of it)

I guess I'll try it again, thanks.

Over on the Princess boards I just found out they have afternoon tea items in the buffet. I never knew this and always go to the MDR. I will be on the Carnival Magic this year and just wondering if Carnival also puts afternoon tea items (small sandwiches, scones/cream/jam) in the buffet. One of our sea days will be spent using the waterpark and I don't really want to hurry and get cleaned up to go to the MDR so this would be a nice option.

Not the OP but I do have a question based on your pictures in the review. I have been a vegetarian for over 30 years and the last time I tried vegan cheese was probably 25 years ago. It was horrible! It looked like plastic and didn't melt at all. Just recently I was thinking of trying it again, thinking it HAS to be better all these years later, but based on your pictures it looks like it still doesn't melt real well. Can you tell me your thoughts?

I always go to the MDR so I didn't know the buffet had it too. What all do they offer in the buffet?
