Husband and I were also on the Ruby. Any guesses to how many miles (or KMs) we sailed? Lots of zig zagging/circles. :)

So happy for you! Bon Voyage!:)

I agree....take the mini. It is nice to have a separate seating area on such a long cruise. CONGRATS and smooth sailing!

Coffee bar where you can get fresh brewed coffees/latte's. Usually have a few pastries available.

I'm sorry - during something like that, unless you can truly help (doctor, etc), he should have definitely left the area.

On one cruise we were all gathered in the atrium waiting for the balloon drop. Suddenly a passenger fell to the ground and once we saw he had assistance DH and I quickly left. Later we were told he had suffered a heart attack and thankfully survived. Tragedies are not shows.

Hope you have a great cruise!

I received the survey this morning and selected the strongest "KEEP FORMAL NIGHT" option for each question. Why? If you don't like formal night there a lot of options for you. If you want a formal night, you are limited...unless you don't mind having pizza while sitting next to a guy wearing a tank top...the same tank top he wore to breakfast...yesterday:)

I also voted in favor of keeping formal nights. I do not participate in them but I do feel they are a part of cruising. As you said, there are a lot of options for us. The only thing I have a problem with is some people feel that you should dress nice to enjoy the shows on formal nights. :eek: I strongly disagree.

Wishing you a great cruise! We were on the Royal in February also :) Next trip on the Royal won't be until 2017:(

A stop in Key West would be great if it allowed enough time for a trip to Fort Jefferson/Dry Tortugas. An amazing place!

Lew,

Thanks for posting!

Greetings, I am looking to book my very first Princess Cruise in the next few days. Can someone tell me the details on how the Princess referral benefit is done? Can it be combined with other promotions?

 

Is there someone here who can refer me and my traveling companion?

 

Happy sails to all, :cool:

Caribbeing,

Congrats! Watch out, they are very addicting!

Referrals--you will receive $ 25 OBC (combinable) for your cruise and the person who refers you will receive a $ 25 OBC on the cruise that happens after you have completed your cruise. Hope that makes sense :)

Enjoy!

I'll write the details offline and post. :) Nothing really wrong with the suite.

The pictures on FB look AMAZING! Thanks for updates. I'm so jealous :D

Hi,

I am new to Princess and I was wondering if you can wear shorts to Horizon Court buffet or Alfredo's in the evening. Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can wear shorts to either venue in the evenings.

Is this for new bookings only? I have free grats and specialty dinner right now. I guess I'll have to see how much OBC is offered for a BB cat balcony. I have OBC (incl FCC) from my TA. What's the new gratuities? 12.95 a day?

Effective on voyages departing on or after January 1, 2016, the gratuity charge will be $13.95 per guest for mini-suites and suites, and $12.95 per guest for interior, oceanview, and balcony staterooms.

lbfluffy...welcome back! Hope you have a fantastic cruise!

Thanks for the news...enjoy your cruise!

Thanks for the info.

Jets :D

We really used our Starboard balcony during our FLL to LAX...it was perfect. We love sea days and watching for marine life. We saw so many turtles, dolphins, flying fish and even an ocean sunfish! Enjoy your cruise!

According to the Beverage Package Evaluator, a single espresso is $ 1.50 and a double shot is $ 2.50.

We were on the Royal during Valentine's Day and same experience, a few decorations and a vow renewal in the Piazza. You can definitely plan something special :)

You can also get really tasty hot chocolate (they will add whipped cream, cinnamon, etc) and on Regal/Royal and a couple of other ships you can get Gelato.

In addition to Gelato you can also get Sundaes, Banana Splits and on sea days, crepes (my favorite). One punch for each on Royal/Regal.

Both soda packages have soda and tonic water.

I hope you mom is up and around soon. Thank you for sharing your story.

jaaronm,

Welcome to Princess!
