I don’t know about Mary Sunshine, but more time spent enjoying your cruise, instead of looking for problems might help. Stop reminding yourself about what went wrong last time, and just staying in the moment should also help. Of course, we have had mishaps over the years, like a backed up toilet, but I don’t go on vacation to just to see if it will happen again, or remind myself of negative memories… 

I hope you find the right cruise line that suits your needs better, and brings you happiness. 
I also hope your last cruise with Princess is an enjoyable experience for you, and your family,  if you travel with one. 
 

Hi Tracy & Brad 👋 ~shawna 

The website is driving me nuts. I log in and it takes me to a registration page..I ignored it for a while but it’s been like that all day so finally I just fill out the registration information but then it tells my my login is taken (DUH , by me)…

I’ve been registered for years lol 

anyone else? I tried to wait it out but it’s been all day into the next 

thanks!

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how far the glass blowing factory is from the dock? I was thinking of either walking or taking a taxi there. 
if anyone can give me some pointers I’d really appreciate it. I don’t want to go on the one Princess tour that stops there because the rest is of no interest to me. THANkS

I hate to say this but I’ve never had a problem getting controlled substances at the mall pharmacy but I don’t know about antibiotics. . If they sell Vicodin and Xanax I’m sure they wouldn’t mind selling antibiotics 😂😂😂 

That was the old me though,  the last time I did that was in 2019.

It is a musical show produced by Steven Swartz around 55 minutes long that has magic illusions within it. It is not a magic show. I have seen it as least 4 times and enjoyed it. Arrive at least 45 minutes early for seating.

You must go to the early show  I never have the problem second showing.. 

ohh I don;t know if I agree with that last comment. I think Princess entertainers are fantastic.. They could be on off broadway.... I still think they do a good job I just didn't enjoy Magic to do...None of my party did to be honest.  

I have not see Once upon a dream so hopefully they are doing that one instead 😛

my husband and I just watched crazy rich Asians last night and we did not get what all the hype was about so I will skip that. My husband will be bummed if Antman isn't playing because I already told him it was since the person above said it was .... Christopher robin hopefully is good but I bet it's a quiet movie and will be hard to hear haha ...we shall see, getting on the boat in less than 10 hours....Can't sleep at 4:12 am lol 

yeah but i've been to Puerto V a lot and I've done a lot... I just wanted to chill at the pool and then switch to the beach for the best of both worlds... I never get a good seat next to the pool on the boat thanks to seat hogs so I don't utilize it that often and my mother gets paranoid about missing the boat so she feel comfortable doing Princess excursions. We love PV but I don't feel like doing a lot of thinking, I just want to relax... Hopefully it's a pretty beach.. I'll be bummed if it's not... haha 

I appreciate your suggestions and normally I agree 🙂 We have a place in Costa Rica and I love the local towns . I can totally see why people purchase vacation home in Puerto Vallarta.. i wish Princess would do a double day there instead of Cabo... Cabo just doesn't have the beauty that PV has... Thanks ALL

It's 4 am ...I can't sleep.. Getting on the boat tomorrow and I'm looking forward to all the food 🙂 and I agree, I don't care about the name as long as it's yummy!

It is for an unlimited number of Internet minutes.

oh okay thanks. I have zero desire to go on the internet when I'm on vacation so that wouldn't apply to me. I think I get a certain amount of internet minutes being platinum on Princess but never used them. If I did happen to use them It would be to get my candy crush rewards lol....  It's only 7 day though, I can live without the internet.. That's cool for people who like to use the internet to contact family and stuff .. 🙂

Get this...The last Cruise I was on (Carnival Feb 2018) Some lady hit the jack pot for $20,000.00 ..she was in my roll call..... Everyone jokingly asked what machine it was so they could avoid it because it already hit ..and i crap you not the same Machine hit again for $20,000.00 

Never say never my friends 🙂

My first cruise on Carnival had a midnight buffet and yes it was a beautiful layout, lots of fruit carving displays and ice sculptures BUT I would never eat the food because the germs freaked me out. The first thing I noticed was all the people lined up to take pictures of it....leaning over the food and talking and breathing all over it LOL No thank you, turned me right off. I barely eat at the regular buffet while cruising.. 

I haven't seen a midnight buffet since but I also switched to Princess so I have no idea if Carnival still does them. 🙂

No -- warm water there and the ocean was warm as well.

 

The buffet lunch was delicious.

Awesome! Thank you so much. One of our cruises stopped at Grand Turk in the Caribbean and there was a really nice pool at  Margaritaville (If I remember correctly) so we thought we'd spend the day there.... only the water was soooooo cold we couldn't even get it. Thankfully that pool was free but this one we will have to pay for so I wanted to make sure the pool water isn't going to be too cold to where we can't get in it. Thanks

It is a banana split.

Sorry for the multiple posts...

SO,  Banana Splits are made with a banana that's Split open with 3 scoops of ice cream on top Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry...Then it is topped with chocolate sauce/fudge ,whipped creme, cherries and nuts and it is called a Banana Split...and it's pretty much called a banana Split everywhere. 

According to the photo posted here, The Volcano from Princess does not look like a traditional Banana Split so technically it's not a Banana Split, it is a Princess Volcano 😛 Bon Appetite 🙂

Thank you!

I don't remember the name of the hotel that we went to but it was in Nuevo Vallarta.

 

There were just 7 of us from HAL so we were put on the same bus with RCI people.

Was the water cold in the pools? Thanks

Enjoy your tour 

I'm in North county San Diego too.. Oceanside 🙂

oh no... My husband will enjoy antman haha he's been begging me to see it and I told him I simply DO NOT want to see it.. I guess I will have to cave as I have no choice..I won't make him suffer through mama mia haha 

Super bummed about that Magic to do.. It was not good at all in my opinion, I was hoping to see something else.. Oh well I guess I'll go to bed early that night or hit the casino... Thank you 

I actually really enjoy the prime rib on  the ship as I normally don't on land. I order the end cut and it's always super flavorful.. The only problem is that I don't eat a lot of red meat normally so my stomach usually has to adjust that first night... TMI? I don't care... haha 

I'm kind of bummed that I am not a fan of any of the Princess desserts and usually order the Ice cream every night. The love boat dream is okay but I don't like dark chocolate. I'm for sure going to order this volcano option from the kids menu as it look like it's just ice cream and strawberries? Can't go wrong with that. 

So my favorite is the fettuccine Alfredo, I usually get it every single night as my appetizer...I also like the Turkey dinner, The lasagna and Lobster night although I find the jumbo Prawns (?) to be much tastier than the actual lobster. 

I don't eat at the buffet and mainly eat in the MDR every night and there is always something delish to eat and I love trying new things so I order a lot..I never eat at home so the boat is my chance to eat a lot... 

I also love the orzo salad and the cubanas in the international cafe.. so good... I actually booked my room on plaze past the art gallery so I was close to the cafe 😛 Leaving Saturday and I can't wait!!! 

May I ask what this is? Is it internet minutes? I'm a little confused..regardless I doubt I would buy it for $99 bucks unless it was something really special. I'm going on the Ruby Saturday. Thanks 

I echo the positive experiences... I never got a plastic Gift card but they emailed the gift card to my mom and it applied to her account. It was so easy I even scheduled it to be delivered to her email on her actual birthday. 

The one funny thing though, I wrote my mom a little funny poem that had the word Sh^T or something like that in it and Princess told me I couldn't use that word in the note. I thought that was a really weird policy.... it was a personal PRIVATE note to my mom and I was spending MY money buying a gift card and they are telling me I can't say what I WANTED to say in the note....like WHAT? I should be able to say whatever I wanted to say if it was between me and the person receiving the GC.....  I found that to be a little annoying but oh well... I sent them an email telling them I thought that policy was stupid and that's all I could really do. She used the GC at the Spa with no problem at all. 

Hi! So you're saying that the dollar down day will be on the 26th? I thought they were going to do it in Feb? I am actually going to be on the ruby Monday. Hopefully I can book some cruises while on board. I always like to do the dollar days and the narrow it down as the months approach. 

Please confirm... 🙂 How did you find out this information? Thanks

I'm hopping on Ruby this upcoming Saturday. 

Can anyone tell me if the production on the ship is "Magic to do"? ..It's been on two of my ships already and I am NOT a fan so I am really hoping it's not going to be on this ship as well... Someone please give me some good news 😛 

Also, Can anyone tell me what's playing on MUTTS? I want to make sure I don't download those specific movies onto my ipad. 

Do inside cabins have the on demand and new TV's?  

And anything else you can tell me would be great! Thank you! 

Haha I realize I must sound Tv obsessed - I'm really not, I just stay up later than my husband and I need the tv to entertain me 😛
