Where do you buy that brand from? At our Woolies they only have the gluten free Bakehouse pies...they are good😋

Loving following along on your trip What a great adventure. I look forward to reading more😄

Thank you for your great review, I loved reading all about the Encounter. I'm not going to bother with VeriFLY at all now. I have my eticket with barcode & haven't seen any info telling me to use VeriFLY.

Yum! I'd be more then happy with those lamb cutlets, we didn't have them on our 7 nighter.

We aren't cruising then but I wish I was🤢 I've had serious cruise withdrawal since we got home off the Coral a couple of weeks ago. Next cruise a 3 nighter in October on Encounter, just to see if we can cope on P&O after Princess. It also makes us Elite finally 😀

They asked us if we were Platinum or elite, so that should help you get onboard faster.

Good on you, I'm sure you will love the Coral. Nothing like a cruise to lift your spirits.

Thanks for that. I love that way of remembering 😀

Does rcl ask how you want it converted or do you have to tell them? We have a 28 degrees card.

We loved the ease of ordering & planning everything on the Medallion. It was great to be able to crew chat reception to ask a question, no lining up to get it answered. Do we really need chocolates after all the food options. If you want something chocolate based like cake or a really rich gf chocolate mousse just order it on the app, they will bring it to wherever you choose. Our tote bag was hanging in the wardrobe. I can't wait to cruise on Princess again.

That's good to know. It's definitely a good option if you don't have a drink package. The prices don't seem to have changed either.

Thanks for that Geoff. The last time we bought spirits through room service or prior to sailing was November 2019. Just before covid shutdown of course.

How much wine can you take on to RCL ships, is it just 2 per cabin or can you take more & pay corkage? Can you buy bottles of spirits through room service like you could on Princess?

Thanks for that. So really you have nothing to lose😀

So it's like gambling. Would you pay regardless, or only if they except your offer? I'm not a gambler so don't know how these things work🤔

I liked using the Medallion app on Princess, usually because it was bringing a drink or snack😁

We only got off the Coral on Friday. We always wore our masks walking in the public areas once seated at a bar took it off. We needed it to walk into the dining rooms or buffet but once seated didn't need it, they did enforce this. Out on the open deck they weren't needed. We didn't end up with any headaches.

Thank you 🙂 I really just didn't want another app as it's only a 3 day cruise. I'm hoping by the time we do a longer cruise on P&O the whole covid certificate thing will be over...wishful thinking I know🤞

When we got off the ship on Friday, we self disembarked & were in the carpark by 7.35am, there were plenty of taxis lined up. We parked at the Port so didn't need them.

My next question was going to be about Verify. It sounds a bit tricky. I was hoping I could just show my certificate at the port or do I have to fill in the details on the app. We cruise in October on Encounter.

I know I'm only pulling your leg🤣

Embarkation was Friday not Saturday. One too many drinks for you I think 🍹

I met them they are very friendly 🙂

Ok so I am on this cruise also & I feel that most people are wearing masks & if they aren't they are told to cover up. The staff have boxes of masks & offer them to you. Regarding drunks I don't know where the op was, but I haven't seen it. I had 2 wines Saturday so definitely had all my senses about me. Think we must be on 2 different Coral Princess ships🤔

Ok thank you
