AF-1

You quote some funny but true statements. Have a great day

I went to one parade with grandkids; we showed up five minutes prior; we could see things; but kids were not on the promenade where they could touch the characters. We still had a good time. Lots of changes coming to all the ships.

you sure stayed busy with your four days in Sydney prior to boarding the ship.

I always wondered why people would stand or sit for hours waiting on a parade in the promenade; but they do every cruise

Me too. Never had a problem with food, sanitation, or feeling cramped

Assume the parades on the Royal Promenade will be changed. People line up hours prior to parade and are side by side.

SargassoPirate; I think a lot of people share your view. Wait and see what happens. In the meantime there is nothing we cruisers can do to speed up how the cruise lines deal with changes. I read that Norwegian and Royal Caribbean have teamed up to work together to make necessary changes on their ships; once the CDC allows them to sail again. So we sit and wait. Not a big deal; just a little inconvience

Jazz; where do the stairs take you? It looks like it goes to a firepit or cooking area.

Thanks for your update with things in AU

I personally do not see any of the cruise lines sailing this year. I think right now they are setting sights on Jan 2021; I read that Royal Caribbean and Norwegian teamed up to hire outside consultants that will try and figure out how to move forward once things open up again.

I agree with you Thrak. I don't see it in happening anytime this year for sure.

dns65; I have nothing to compare to. I have not been to Princess Cays. I have been to RCCL private island when it first opened back in 2011; and they were just starting to get things going. A lot of the water sports area was not up and running; the water slides were not open. The beach was very nice and so was the picnic area. I ready where you ranked it last in your post #20. I was really asking about the clam shells that people were talking about. Thank and have a nice day.

How long was the laidback ride down the mountain? Did you have to take it back up or just one way?

Interesting take on Princess' private island. So people think this is the worst of all the cruise Lines?

Wow it was that hot in March. Thanks for letting me know.
