Sea Gypsy 2

Thank you.

We have not cruised since before Covid and want to return. We have 10 cruises with Princess but are considering Celebrity for a Caribbean cruise in 2025 that includes Barbados. The ships would be the Majestic Princess or the Celebrity Beyond.

Any advice or recommendations?

Having not cruised since before Covid, we are looking at a 2025 Caribbean cruise on the Majestic. 

We are considering the Plus package. After searching, I cannot find prices for beer, etc. for Princess now.

Would be grateful for information.  

Does anyone know if March Madness games will be available on Princess ships?

My apologies to the board "police." I missed those responses. Thank you to those that replied.

Can anyone give an update on Princess Cays?  Are there still problems with no ice, no running water, etc.?

Does anyone have anymore updates on Princess Cays?  How is the food and is there ice for drinks, running water, etc.?

OMG!

We really enjoy the Lido deck  cabins to be near the pool, HC, etc. and choose our cabin there. We have been offered an upgrade before for a "small" fee, but it does not feel like an upgrade if you may move to another part of the ship that you do not care for.

Thank you.  Any updates will be appreciated!

Does anyone have an update on Princess Cay? We will be sailing in a few weeks. After reading threads about no electricity, no running water, hot drinks and cold food, we are

hesitant about getting off the ship.

How is the music by the pool? Is there live music or DJ during the day?

How does the gel polish hold up on a cruise if you're in the pool now and then? I did the 

powder for several years. I am in the process of letting my nails rest for a while but

thought about getting gel polish for an upcoming cruise.

I was able to complete our information on the app and received confirmation. Medallions should arrive 

March 3. 😀

We are sailing on the Regal March 17. Does anyone have experience with boarding without using the

Ocean Ready App?  Does it add extra time checking in at the port? I was told by a Princess representative

that if you did not have the app set up on your phone before boarding, you would have to spend time at the port doing so.

She stated that you must set up your profile on your phone to use the medallions.  Is this true?

I have noticed this on the Norwegian advertisements too.  They advertise free options and they are listed as free, but when you add them to the cruise, the price goes up!  

I have read several conflicting posts on the Medallion.  We are sailing on the Regal on March 17 and wonder if it is worth it to go through the app or just pick the medallions up at the port.  I have read that having them does not save time and also read that you can by pass the regular check in line if you have them.  We are Elite passengers so I'm confused on whether or not it is better to have the medallions before boarding. 

Last year on a 10 day Caribbean cruise, we were allowed to take 2 twelve packs of Diet Coke on board. We had luggage tags on them and they were delivered to our cabin. Is this still allowed?

We have always stayed forward Lido Deck or deck below because we really enjoy being close to the pool during the day. We usually have the buffet breakfast so it is also close. Last year on the Royal we were on the very front of the ship one deck down and loved the larger balcony and views. Sailing soon on Caribbean Princess mid forward on Lido!

Can anyone tell me about the Fun Bus Tour in St. Lucia. We are considering on our cruise in April.

Is anyone purchasing Princess excursions before the cruise since the payment policy has changed? We are sailing in April and it appears all excursions are pretty much open.

What about beer?

We will be cruising on the Caribbean Princess in April. Would love to hear any news from recent or current cruisers!

Yes, definitely BUMMER!! We enjoyed those on the Royal last year!

Will be visiting St. Kitts in April on Caribbean Princess. We are considering the Timothy Hill and Beach Tour through Princess. Can anyone tell me anything about this excursion?
