mum and son

I haven't researched this but saw someone post this online.

Yes, will do. At last count I could see over 160 available cabins so I think there should be a bit of flexibility with dining as I don't think the ship will be chockers.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is the bit I couldn't understand. I can see them all in my app and I can click on them for a reservation, but I was wondering if that would mess with their existing bookings. I'm completely flexible so I think I'll message her to invite us on certain nights so she has control of the bookings and I'll just fit in. As we're cruising over Xmas and New Year it would be nice to dine together at those times.

Hi all, I'm being a little lazy and can't find the time to look into the night time dining options for my upcoming Princess cruise. I'm now travelling with a friend, and there is also a US family onboard who I met on a cruise in The Med in 2010. The US family have picked their dining for Michelangelo restaurant at 6pm every night. I hope to dine with them some nights but do our own thing some nights as well. Seeing as Princess have moved away from the set dining / anytime combo to Dine My Way, can I book some nights at the same time as my US friends and be seated at their table? We have linked ourselves in the app. Or will they have a set table every night with the same people because they've booked the same time every night? I'm confused...

I did follow an Aussie's B2B journey several months ago on a social media site I will not name. I must admit I'd never been interested in Virgin anything because it all feels a bit gimmicky to me but, after seeing this person's daily posts and commentary onboard, I was hooked. It looked wonderful, and I would LOVE to give it a try.

Does anyone know if the Princess rate is the same as HAL?

I don't know the answer, but I do the same. I always try to transact in USD as my card offers a much better rate that the vendor does. I actually can't even work out how to buy OBC when I log into Princess, so maybe it's not possible anymore.

I know, but us android users always play second fiddle. It's nice to be the ones without an issue for a change.

Samsung for the win!

There's plenty of chatter about it over on the main Princess forums so I'm guessing it is working for most people.

Like me! I'll be upgrading to Plus when I board to use up some OBC, maybe I should buy the rest of the OBC today. Not that it makes a big difference for that level of spending. Might load some USD on my travel card though.

Thanks everyone!

Hi Marion, Where do I find information about the latest jab, or which version it is? I'm heading o/s in 30 days and I'd like to have a booster. I'd obviously like the latest one but I'm running out of time for it to be effective. I'm actually more worried about the 20 hours in planes pre-cruise, plus the time in airports than the cruise itself!

I think you're being kind 😁, because our cabin was never made up either. I think maybe they were short-staffed? I don't know. It was strange though, because we were next door to the aft corner suite so usually you get a great steward in those locations.

Good job! Your turn.

What city is this?

I did a B2B on Majestic back before the spicy cough and I moved from a forward facing cabin for the first cruise, to an aft facing cabin on the second. The first room steward was amazing, always present and cabin always cleaned when we returned from breakfast - but on the second cruise I didn't even meet the room steward and some days wondered if he ever existed. The cabin was often unmade when I returned after hours away and I never saw a linen trolley in the hall. It was so unusual that it has always stuck in my mind.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I actually had to go to a meeting, damn work! So I won, using google, and still got it wrong - but I'll take it 🤣. I'll find a pic and post in a minute or two.

I had to google cheat to put us all out of our misery. Lhasa. But google then informed me of the Potala Palace... and another of the clues made sense!

Ohhhhh. Tibet? Now "some" of the clues make sense!

The clues are killing me... 🥵

Kathmandu?

Taipei?

That's a shame. Not a nice feeling when you think you've been ripped off.

Thanks so much. My head was all over the place but I'm happy I settled back with Princess. I originally booked as a solo so I was conscious of being on a familiar ship, with a familiar brand. MSC made me nervous 😬.
