Hi All,

This is quite common on this cruise especially if large groups from Europe have booked cruise, we did this cruise once and around a third of the ship got off.

Saves on flights etc, if they can just hop on to a local bus ,train or get friends to pick them up, why not.

Expect Princess is quite happy in that they get full fare, but turned around in Southampton a little less stress full for room stewards baggage guys etc.

Princess is offering us in Scotland the chance to do a mini cruise first few days of a transatlantic and get off in Scotland.

Hi Upcountry travellers,

Interesting spelling, sgian dubh most commonly seen,

as to the dagger, it will be the Dirk,

Hi Thrak,

And I thought you were going to post a pic of yourself in a kilt,

however learning to sit needs to be practised, especially if on a stage.

yours Shogun

Hi Saltwater1974

Ahhhhh, thankyou you are most welcome, the only question for you is when are youcoming back,

you have missed some interesting weather

yesterday 29 degrees full sun, over night 20 degrees, today floods, thunder, lightening and just silly amounts of rain. must be summer time.

yours Shogun

Hi cruz STY

All my kilts are full weight but jackets and waist coats are light weight

look the same but so much nicer to wear if in Caribbean Med etc,

If required why not just hire a light weight jacket,

yours Shogun

Hi

Looks like a P&O ship:)

yours Shogun

Hi Homelessbear

thanks for posting

Forth Rail Bridge is impressive, world heritage site, soon to have a viewing platform visitor centre etc will make an amazing place to view the ship from,

so question is when are you coming back to go to Kirkwall,

yours Shogun

ps from local Ivergordon sign,

Nessie is always spotted day after cruise ship passengers leave

Hi All

Just another case of Princess listening to us, and then twisting things to fit

there own goals, yes we want less paper, no more spa offers, $10 sale flyers

art auction brochures, and do not even get me started about Effy it felt like

two flyers per day plus letters invites,

We want the Patter and add a TV guide into it.

yours Shogun

Hi

Looking forward to your comments,

UK weather just now around 20 degrees at night 35 during the day.

yours Shogun

Hi

You will need to pay to go to crab shack, :(

Hi All

As a kilt wearer l do not mind folks asking for photos, or telling me there great great great grandad was Scottish, do not mind the women and the odd man asking if they can slip a hand up the kilt but why do they have to keep pointing to the furry thing and ask what's that called,

Yours Shogun

Hi Potstech,

But do we agree with what should not be worn under the kilt,:)

Hi

I would think as a group we welcome change, we travel the world looking for new experiences, new tastes and delights,

Princess has in the past got a few things very right, International Cafe,

Alfredos, Balcony Breakfast etc

However Curtis Stone MDR items do not fall into this group, they are poor

quality compared to what they replaced.

yours Shogun

Hi Esprit

I suspect that you never noticed the items as they did not attract your attention,

yours Shogun

Hi

Has to be ports first, but if by ship the Star,

reasons being Slkywalkers great viewing

Conservatory so not as crowed as Ruby etc

less passengers than Ruby etc

yours Shogun

Hi All

My first visit to Rome tour guide advised shorts should be below the knee,

yours Shogun

Hi CCTV

Same thing happened to me next year the sane item in hand luggage was removed given receipt and told to collect it after cruise,

Yours Shogun

Hi All

I can not recall the last time we all agreed so much about a subject,

Princess please take note, are you big enough to accept you might have

made a mistake,

Now turning to Share I thought the new look, layout was nice all they need to do

is change it to Alfredos, and expand the menu.:D

yours Shogun

Hi

it was just a typo was meaning from the menu

yours Shogun

Hi All

On my recent Emerald Princess cruise I thought the MDR menu had dropped in standard since my previous cruise on her which was before Curtis Stone item was added to menu,

so question is anyone else think the same,

has anyone tried Curtis Stone items off menu I came across knowone while onboard that had,

yours Shogun

Hi

Southampton like to apply all rules and then some of their own when it comes to

luggage, depending on what rule you have fallen foul off luggage might

not even get to ships naughty room you get called to open bag in port.

yours Shogun

Hi

Very little covered viewing so if its been raining check your seat first

seen a few folks sit down only to find they have a wet butt a few minutes

latter, :)

yours Shogun

Hi

For OP

If you have an inside or ocean view and want to do Balcony Dinner, ask to

speak to HGM, if a special occasion they can often do something to help out,

either open up a cabin under maintenance, or use a table outside Sabatinis,

yours Shogun

Ihsail

I would still come to UK, what has happened in main land Europe and risk

to cities like London should not stop you cruising around UK,

I was in Canada in 2014 when it had its own terrorist attacks, I can still recall

all the police cars. I will still visit Nice, Ottawa,Boston, Paris, London Istanbul

etc just when and how needs to given careful thought

Sadly the list will only get longer, if you are concerned about flying into

London then fly into Glasgow or Manchester instead,
