And, as we all aware, any experience on a specific ship will not mean the same experience on another ship. To me, that is one of Princess’s problems. If only they could give every passenger on every ship the same level of service and policy! But, they seem content to be consistently inconsistent!

I have used the lanyard, the silicone band from Princess, the silver bracelet from Princess (can’t wear it as it seemed to fit fine but is small and difficult to snap closed) and for our most recent cruise found these thanks to a recommendation here on CC. It attached easily to my Apple Watch band and I loved it! My husband, not so much. He stuck with the silicone one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C3TH31JT?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

We are excited! The full promenade was a definite selling point!

We are doing a 32 day (22 sea days) in April, 2024 on the Sapphire and looking forward to it! Haven’t been on that ship yet.

Hope you recover quickly and completely! And prayers for Mom too!

Glad it works for you! Just remember that the reserved seating is only for Production shows, not every event in the theatre.

Just off Island Princess and port guides were only available on the app and we had no way to print them😕

Yes, they did have the Pub Lunch in the MDR on one of our sea days. We had at least 9 sea days over the 28 days and we only saw it once. No biggie! 😂

I’ve been called several times and have always been polite when I tell the caller we are not interested. In the past week, I have been called by Ruby with the same spiel. The only reason I answered was because the caller ID showed my Princess Cruise Planner’s name and number!! I told Ruby I was not interested, won’t be interested in the future and to take me off the list and not call again.

We were on the Island for 28 days and never heard about Alfredo’s pizza in Sabatini’s 😢

Yes, it was strange. My husband isn’t a beer aficionado but prefers Mich Ultra over other Busch products and especially over DosX!! 🤣

Just off a B2B on Island. Wanted to trade alcohol for Michelob Ultra. Room Steward checked and was told it couldn’t be exchanged because Mich Ultra is a Premium Beer. It costs $.50 more! We could exchange for Budweiser products. Didn’t push the issue. When we met the F&B Officer at our Meet & Greet on our 2nd cruise, I brought it up with him. He agreed that Corp had changed some of the parameters on what could be exchanged and we both admitted it was petty (my word, not his), disallowing an exchange that would cost Princess $4.00 per cruise! He then excused himself and called Room Service to make the exchange for Mich Ultra. Kudos to him, but I should not have had to get him involved.

So happy you are cruising with G!! What a great way to celebrate your anniversary! Can’t wait to catch up on your blog! Smooth sailing and fair winds!

Had the Pub Lunch in the MDR on the Island last week. The fish was not good. Nothing like it used to be. Fish and Chips is also one of the always available on the menu under “Princess Favorites” and was no better there than the Pub Lunch.

Darn spell check! “Being”. Not bring! 😩

Exactly!! Princess wrote the book on bring consistently inconsistent!! 🥴

You can wait until you are onboard. In the past, the prices differed between prior to boarding and onboard but that is no longer the case. A big advantage of waiting is being able to use OBC to pay for it when you are onboard!

That would be a passenger on a back to back cruise. Sailed on the previous cruise and staying on for the next cruise. In-transit passengers are given a card to reboard if they did not remain onboard for the turnaround procedure.

We have a Medicare Advantage plan and it does cover us outside the US. Gives us peace of mind.

We board the Island on June 29th. Happy Cruising!

The roller bags were legit for airlines, so not overly big. We were told as soon as we walked into the terminal that we needed to go back outside and check all of our bags. This was at the Ocean terminal. Our cruise in a few weeks is at the Mayflower terminal but we will just plan to check it all. I also like to take my bags onboard myself so the unpacking can begin!

We were unable to carry on our luggage last time at Southampton. We had bags that would not be considered carry on for a flight but they also wouldn’t let us carry on our roller bags.

I preferred it in the au Gratin dish.

Thanks for the suggestion! We have the plastic cases with daily sleeves that work great at home for my husband. But when packing for over 30 days, the bulk adds up! Just ordered these and it will be great to not have to pack those empty bulky ones coming home!

I’m glad to know that the thread title didn’t match the content. Nightmare? I was afraid passengers were being tossed about on the tender in high seas! I enjoy long tender lines as much as the next person (not a bit!) so they have never given me nightmares 😂. Glad everyone made it back to the ship safely!
