What ever you do, don't slow down the boarding process by stopping at the top of the gang plank to salute the colors at the fantail!

 

RE: the veteran's credit. There was a change in the data base at Princess, and the Veteran's prior qualification data did not get carried forward. If your original approved application was prior to the change over, you may have to resubmit. By all means, check your customer records. This was the case for us (both my wife and I are prior service). Once your new customer file is updated with the status after your reapplication is approved, its all good. Princess enjoys picking up a portion of your bar tab as it were. A prior CEO, ex mil himself is responsible for this.

 

 

That said, however, what I would recommend is that after submitting the application, you keep a copy of everything you submit in the event the info is erroneously deleted from the Princess database or in the event the current policy changes in the future. I know that my wife and I had previously submitted our info and that somewhere along the line it disappeared or went into stealth mode, not sure which and we had to resubmit. :confused:

Back in the days of the infamous Windjammer Barefoot Cruise line, it was not uncommon for a night of skinny dipping to emerge from the rum drinks served. It was quite an inspirational sight to see a 60 Y/O retired British school teacher suddenly rip off her swim suit and join the twenty Y/O American spring break students jumping off the ship's plank in total abandon. And frankly, it was all OK.

Certainly, this wouldn't fly on any major cruise line, then or now, thirty-five years later. The point remains however. You can have your version of fun, within reason, among any group of people you are willing to try to have fun with.

In general comparisons... Princess Galley's creations are amazingly at a higher standard than most. Princess crew are as attentive as any, and in our experience more personable than Carnival and HAL. The "typical" customer seems somewhat more sophisticated than a typical three or four day booze cruiser common to Carnival and others. These are generalities to be sure, but seem consistent. There are wonderfully fun pockets of crazy always to be found when in the mood, if that's your taste, but its not pervasive or overwhelming.

Relax, enjoy the escape, and find the rhythms of island time!
