That top is gorgeous and it will be perfect for your vow renewal!  Congrats on 25 years - we renewed our vows (45 years) on the Love Boat cruise in October!

Have had two back surgeries so really understand the need for good shoes.  I have started buying skechers exclusively - lightweight, good support and CUTE!  I wish I had had these when I was nursing, my feet love them.😀

Have just started dealing with this issue myself - and the lactase tablets work great.  I take one before breakfast, lunch and dinner if I am having ANY dairy and if I have a latte mid day I take one then too.  It's a matter of replacing what your body isn't furnishing anymore and it is very common for people to become lactose intolerant as they get older.  I haven't dropped anything from my diet and LOVE pizza and ice cream.  As long as I take the tablet before eating I have absolutely no problem.  They are cheap and available many places.  Have a wonderful cruise and enjoy!

flats or kitten heels, checking out low wedges right now -- knee high hose work just fine for me 🙂 

My daughter is an esthetician and a facial is just wonderful - would have them more often if I could afford it!  Brows get done whenever I get a haircut, mani/pedi before a cruise/vacation as a pampering 🙂. have fun and enjoy your treatments - after the year(s) we have, we deserve it!

You could start with a visit to a local day spa.  They can be pricey, but explain what your main concerns are and see what they recommend.  As for hair - i am growing out my VERY short spiky hair and it is mid back now - silver and can be coarse in texture.  Tried the Loreal 8 second miracle and it has done amazing things - hair is now smooth and silky which I am really happy with.  The important thing is, whatever is done whether at a spa or at home, needs to be continued and not let go again.  Always hard working from behind!

I went and turned off the ad blocker for the Princess site - thanks, didn't know that!  The Live Chat tab came right up then.  Also, here is a direct link to the chat line if you don't have it -- https://princesscruises.egain.cloud/system/templates/chat/aqua/index.html?entryPointId=1036&templateName=aqua&ver=v11&locale=en-US&linkId=120497711&fbclid=IwAR0PLYMRB3bIFDjLnd2L2m24Bgf-7b7jQDPOQIZNxxxtw0zL2-nwS_4oOrk

if it says "Thank you for your inquiry. Our service hours are 9am-5pm PST, Monday-Friday." just refresh the page and the opening page should show up.

Yes as a suitable substitute for sure.

 

Cheers

Do you have to pay the extra cost just to sit in their bar?

We were disappointed to learn this, because Vines has been a favorite to sit and enjoy a glass of wine prior to dinner - waiting to hear what people say!

You might try their live chat line - I have had issues resolved immediately after chatting with a rep.

I have found it to be kind of hit and miss on when they are open, so I usually just keep checking.  Good Luck!

That's great!  We were thinking we would have to buy the coffee package too!

It says "specialty coffee" - does that mean we can get Lattes or other similar coffees with the package?  Thanks!

Thanks!

I know I did this the last cruise I went on but can't find it!  We don't sail until next year but would like to know where to go when I am ready to purchase 🙂 

Wondering if anyone has hotels they can recommend near the cruise port in LA.  Sailing 2022, but planning ahead and Princess's offerings aren't much.  Like to have some choices!  Thanks!

try Aerie - they are actually the ladies section of American Eagle -- won't buy anything else now that I've tried them!

We had an issue with our art piece - it actually slid off of the backing it was attached to and hit the floor, damaging the piece.  I immediately contacted Park West and the were wonderful - sent packing materials and replaced the piece without any problem at all.  I am sorry others have not had the same experience, but we have no issues with them.

checked out their web site, it says they will be closing briefly but nothing about closing for good

The one change I would do after the gentle wash pcur mentioned, would be to dry it over a rack instead of hanging because hanging could stretch the straps.  I used to do work on formal gowns and wedding gowns, and hanging a wet gown could cause some real problems.  Something like this -- 

I agree with c/o  no hose!

On the CB in November and have been able to complete everything but the "Cruise Personalizer" circle on the app.  Still shows no green circle.  On Princess our names are green indicating all is done (I guess!).  Have even been able to order our Medallions without problem.  That lack of a green circle is bugging me tho - has anyone else had this issue and if so what did you do to rectify it?  Thanks!

My wife and I both show the coupon book on our personalizer for our Mat cruise. Can anyone confirm that we both get one?

 

 

Where on your cruise personalizer did you see the coupon book?  Looking and can't find where to see it 🙂 

When we went, my daughter and I dressed smart casual (dress, dressy pants and top type of stuff).  We probably were overdressed, but that's the way we roll 🙂

Although I cannot book the Fort Lauderdale to Quebec excursions next summer,  I just booked the Melbourne to New Zealand excursions next December. So must depend on 3rd parties.  (Auckland disembark not available yet?)

Guess it's just a wait and see at this point!
