How many of you have booked the 360 Dining Experience?  SharB and I are in the 5PM one on April 8th.  What I think is really special about that date is that the 360 description reminds me of "The Sunset Effect" where you may see what looks like a Sunset in any direction you look during the TSE ....

 

 

We are booked on April 7 at 5:00.  Looking forward to a new experience.

Tecolote Beach is your best bet

We are arriving on Discovery Princess in Feb.  Friends, that frequent Cabo, are saying the ship tenders arrive a distance from town and you need to take a water taxi to get to the main area.  It's been years since I've cruised to Cabo, any assistance?

 

Thanks so much

You do not need to take a water taxi to town. Get off the ship and follow the crowd and you will be in town in 15 minutes.

We go to Mexico every October.  Temps range from 95 to 85 degrees with some humidity. The ocean water is still warm.  This is our favorite time to visit Mexico.  

I just got one from a May cruise.  🤔

We are getting on the  Caribbean Princess today, ship leaves port at 4:00pm.  What is the latest we can board?

On the CB now, starting our 4th week on Saturday.

Just a few Notes/Tips 

-Keep an eye on your charges!  Our drink packages aren’t working correctly as we are being charged for everything. I had to chat with guest services 4 times before a plan had been put in place for my account to be swept daily and the charges manually removed.

- If you have the full package with desserts they only offer 2 types of Sundaes and none of the cake that is on Discovery  (Available at Coffee and Cones)

-If you plan to go into the Ocean at Princess Cay bring water shoes (we packed some and needed them in Grand Turk too) 

-Wifi has worked well-email/ Ft Audio/Streaming Netflix, Youtube 

-If you are looking for a quiet place, Wheelhouse during the day or Skywalkers are great places to hide from the crowds  I grabbed a coffee and was able to work in a quiet place for a dew hours at a time. 

-The crew have been great and we have had a lovely few weeks

 

 

We are boarding on May13 for 14 days, just wondering if they are still having problems with Noro virus?

Hydrogen peroxide wipes kill Noro Virus.  

Thanks all, I think I have it figured out, no thanks to Princess.

San Pedro, sorry.

We leave on Sept 24 on the Sapphire Princess out of Pier 46.  Does anyone have experience with the procedure?  
Do we drop off the bags at the pier then go to the parking lot?  Is there a bus to take us back to the Pier?  Is there a place to check in at Pier 46? 
No communication from Princess at all.  Thanks for any help.

Booked a mini suite on deck 12 Monday.  Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Cindy and Alan

Now I can’t even get the Princess web site to load.  Yesterday it loaded but said pricing no available.  Yikes!

My brother in law wants to get tee times in the 3 ports we visit.  Does anyone have any experience good or bad as far as golf courses in CAbo, Puerto Vallarta or Mazatlan?  ThankYou 

I just paid $211, Premium Package for a 17 night cruise.  Online before the cruise.

It’s the morning after sail away and we just had a nice breakfast at the Lido Market, the Kdam’s creative buffet. Here are our first impressions of the ship and crew.

First, a little about the boarding process in San Diego. Initially, it seemed a bit unorganized, at least to the uninitiated, with a confusing system of dropping luggage and finding the correct line for our assigned boarding time. The confusion was compounded because two Holland America ships were boarding on this sunny afternoon, the second day of the new year. No signs showed where to take luggage or which lines were for which ship. Thankfully, a monitor came by frequently to sort people into the right lines.

After a half hour wait, they directed us into the terminal for all the pre-boarding checks. Being a San Diegan, I’m a little embarrassed by our cruise terminal, which looks more like an abandoned warehouse than the sleek modern buildings we’ve experienced around the world. Hopefully, as more ships make San Diego a home port, the city will build a decent facility worthy of its waterfront location.

That said, the process inside the terminal was organized and efficient. In about 30 minutes, we passed through security, health screenings and check-in. In one area, dozens of cruisers who hadn’t gotten their required covid test in advance were waiting to be tested. The high number, we were told, was the result of a lack of testing available on the holiday weekend. (We did ours with an at-home test that was both convenient and efficient.)

Once onboard, we took the elevator to our stateroom at the stern. The beautifully appointed room offers amazing views of San Diego harbor through the window to our veranda, large enough for two full sized reclining deck chairs and foot stool. Our room looked new with a very large flat screen TV and plenty storage to hang and stow our stuff. The desk, and two nightstands had US standard plugs and USB ports for charging. This was much appreciated that spared us from the big tangle of wires and gadgets on shared chargers on other ships.

The most pleasant surprise was the modern bathroom, with glass-enclosed shower, a well lit mirror and large containers of Elemis toiletries. It was by far the nicest we have experienced in our many years of cruising. Another pleasant touch is motion-activated floor lighting that illuminates night-time bathroom visits.

The ship and its interiors are knockout gorgeous, modern, clean and seemingly new. Museum quality art catches your eye around every corner in public areas that abound with shops, restaurants, bars and entertainment venues. We plan to spend time in these fun destinations, starting tonight when the first gala night caps a relaxing sea day. Comfortable seating, often with views out over the water, invite conversations or just secluded spots to read or reflect.

One thing of interest to all cruisers is how the ship and passengers are dealing with covid.We’re happy to report that we have not seen one passenger or crew member without a mask unless eating or drinking, or on an outside deck away from other passengers. Everyone is taking precaution and prevention very seriously.  

One other item of note is that the number of passengers and crew are almost equal at about 800 each. The previous voyage over New Years had about 1800 cruisers on board. So there’s no problem with this sailing getting a table, reserving dining or finding a comfy chair anywhere on the ship.

Are they making passengers wear a mask when they sit at a bar indoors?  I hope it’s not the sip and cover routine.

My math says .000584.  Better odds than anywhere I know.  Just got off a Carnival Panorama cruise and there were NO reported cases.  Looking forward to Majestic in November.

CAbo in early November is great .  Weather is warm but not too warm.  Water is usually still very pleasant.  We go there every year in late Oct and early Nov.  

Thanks for all the replies , would like to hear from anyone that just got off the this Saturday.

Does anyone know at what occupancy rate the Panorama has been sailing to Mexico?  Looking at booking the Sept 18. ThankYou in advance.

Call them back and they will get back to you and let you know which cabins are available.  You can then check the deck plans and make up your mind if any of the cabins work for you.

Thanks Kazu, I used a TA so will check with her.  The Princess web site shows all your credits whether you booked direct or with a TA.

I faxed 3 new requests for trips running from Sept 21 to May 23.  Just checked and they are all posted.  Thanks Princess

I faxed my info for Stock holders credit yesterday and have not received an email yet.  Is there a place on the web site that would show if the credit has been applied.  I was not able to find anything about it when I signed in?  Thank you in advance if you can help me.
