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!

Learn something new every day! I prefer to do my own laundry but did not know about Elite getting free tokens. Of course as with many Princess consistent inconsistencies, my luck will be that the ship I am sailing on won’t follow the practice of free tokens! Lol! 🥴🤣😂

On our last cruise we couldn’t even get a Dirty Banana near the end because they had no bananas. Seems supply is still an issue - our cruise was a month ago.

So sorry to hear you have Covid. Hoping it is a mild case and Holli stays well. I have always enjoyed your “Lives” Hope you enjoy your suite for the remainder of the cruise!

Thanks so much for the reply! I will add them back to my packing list!

@We_like_to_cruise- thank you for this exceptional live! We have enjoyed 2 cruises on the Island - Panama Canal full transit and Alaska. They were both prior to the major changes to the ship. We will be on the Island for a B2B to the Baltics from Southampton to Copenhagen and Norway and Iceland from Copenhagen to Southampton this summer and can’t wait! We will be sailing in our first aft-facing balcony. I have a strange question. In the buffet, are the coffee cups plastic or ceramic? I cannot drink my hot tea from a plastic cup so I usually bring a ceramic one from home. We were on the Sky a few weeks ago and they had ceramic cups in the buffet. I will be excited if I don’t have to pack my mugs! Thanks and wishing you continued smooth sailing!
