I know this is not wine but do not know where else to ask. Does anyone have a list of the cognacs? We will have the premier beverage page when we go to Norway and Iceland and I would like to compare a few before we go.

So my question is if and when a vaccine is developed and required for cruising what happens to people who can not get it because of allergies? I can not get the shingles vaccine because of a serious allergy to one of the main ingredients Are they going to ban me from ever cruising again?.

I was on the 4-4 sailing on the Sky and took my choice of option one, called at 4:00 pm Thursday afternoon did not have any wait time and rebooked for 11-28 on the Enchanted. Stewart that helped me said that Princess cancels the EZ-Air and then he rebooked my flights for even less money. I received an email about the canceled flights before I even hung up the phone. So when you call just double check with the person helping you.

I recommend you start calling two minutes before the lines open. I did this Sunday morning and only waited about ten minutes. Also the service rep will be fresh and thinking more clearly since they have not been on the phone for a long time. I got all of my questions answered and even got some extra advice.

We have a March 29th cruise to the Eastern Caribbean and we are still going!!  We have been on many cruises and have never been sick!  I'm a nurse and I wash my hands all the time, out of habit.  If you think about it, the cruise lines are doing much more cleaning/disinfecting on their ships than usual and taking many more precautions - those ships are sparkling! - as these ships are their "moneymakers" and they do not want any outbreaks or negative reports on their ships.  Also, lots can happen in 4 weeks - with the end of flu season coming up, I'm hoping all the viruses will begin to calm down.  There are many other "bugs" to worry about on cruise ships, namely the norovirus, which is very contagious and not fun.  I also think that the media has everyone in panic mode about the coronavirus - the flu kills many more people every year than the coronavirus has (so far, NONE in the U.S.).  Yes, if you are immune compromised, you should be careful not only with the coronavirus outbreak but with ANY viruses or diseases which you can catch at the grocery store, pumping gas and on cruise ships!  Just wash your hands a lot and don't pick your nose!!

AMEN! So happy to see a professional say what I have been saying to people all along. Thank you for the honest opinion.

Can anyone tell me how they liked the mini suite on Baja 415 on the Sky, we have booked this for our April cruise and I have not seen any pictures or reviews.

Thanks for any help.

Thank you for all of the wonderful pictures and info on your cruises. My number one bucket list item is to visit Antarctica.

I used to keep cruise card on a lanyard but the increased weight of the medallion made a lanyard uncomfortable on our Regal cruise so my husband offered to carry it in his pocket since we are usually together or I just left it in the cabin.  Later I realized that would show that I went in a lot of men's rooms if they were tracking where I went. Giggle.

Thank you so much for the best laugh I have had all week. But you have made me think about something that never crossed my mind.

I have a shellfish allergy, so it looks like a no-go for me on this!!

I agree I have a shellfish and pepper allergy. It is very difficult to find some place special to eat because of the pepper allergy. What makes it worse is that it is all peppers not just the hot and spicy ones.

When we went to Alaska we got 55 pictures  plus the usb and did not hit all of the photo ops. Well worth the price, will be getting the package again on the Sky in 2020 with my sister.

There are always these neat boards on the wall at either side of the elevator lobby; they tell you the cabin numbers to be found in either direction: BRILLIANT!😂

🤣Just when I needed a good laugh, thank you!

Did this in 2016 we loved it. Did the land first and actually had a bear walk up to a vehicle and get up on his hind legs in Denali. Was a great photo as well as the rest of the trip. We went up early and flew into Barrow, got the ultimate best pictures of Mt. Denali, 36,000 feet in the air. The top was above the clouds  actually put the picture on canvas when we got home.

Enjoyed every bit of the three weeks even if we only had two days of sunshine, the rest was all rain. But the rain did cut down on foot traffic which meant easier sightseeing. Would do it again without even thinking twice.

Is it not better to lose with self respect than to win by cheating? We should all just be proud of the correct answers we give and learn from our mistakes. All of us that do not cheat will sleep better at night than the ones who win by cheating.

Rest in peace Captain.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being of Scottish decent (Douglass) I love seeing a gentleman in his Kilt. Never worry about being over dressed always wear with pride.

Enjoy your cruise.

We actually stayed the night at Pikes Waterfront lodge and the lobby was spectacular, had many stuffed animals from the area, the room was just as nice. Had dinner at Pikes Landing and the Salmon was excellent we would eat there again.

I all ways tip our head waiter.  I get a lot of help from him because I have a shell fish allergy.  Some times it is hidden in the way the food is made, ex sauces made from it.  

We had lots of great head waiters.  On one of my Regal cruises I ask Adrain  (head waiter) about what night should we pick to go to the specialty restaurant (so that we did not go on formal night).  My DH and I pick out the night.  Adrain ask what time we wanted.  He came back later at dinner and said he made our reservation and told them all about my allergy and they would be on top of it.  Great service.  All of them have been wonderful to me.

 

And yes, we do tip them with cash and also write out a card for them.  I have even E-mail Princess and told them how great they were.  

I have a very serious allergy to shellfish and all kinds of peppers, we had Adrain on the Island Princess and he was absolutely wonderful. People do not realize how just about everything made has pepper in it, but I never had to worry about this because of Adrain. I also contacted Princess after we got home to inform them of his and the rest of the staffs wonderful service.

Thank you for the contact information.

Thank you so much for the pictures, it helps to get a true idea of how big it really is in regards to how I want to wear it.

Thank you everyone for all of your ideas. This will make my cruise next year with my sister very enjoyable, neither of us drink a lot of alcohol because we do not like  the taste but we will be trying some of these out on the Sky Princess in April 2020.

Good morning all! This will be my first trip to the Caribbean I am so excited to be going in April 2020 with my sister, do they have the water issues that I always hear about in Mexico? I already have a refillable bottle to take with me but I need to be prepared when we eat lunch or dinner in port. I drink water 90% of the time and do not want to get sick.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
