Completely agree. It was like sawdust and fell apart after a couple of bites. Zero flavour. If they paid ME four bucks, it would still be doubtful. 

Maybe good fiber?

Hey, the "Live from July 25" thread is back! WooHoo!!!

Straight to lunch haha. We hadn't had breakfast, so were ready to eat. Also note that Alfredos does not offer any GF beer. 

GF?

@TheCenterOfTheLabyrinth Did you go straight there or to your cabin first?

We are back to masks here in Nevada ..I was wondering if the Thermal Suite is open ? 

See post #1053 in this thread.

I have the Princess Plus package, however I do not drink alcohol.  Has anyone ordered mocktails? Do they have a good selection? Especially, lower calorie ones.

@farsight I happened to be by enclave this morning and did the tour. It’s $179 for one person for the entire cruise. You get two hours per day & must reserve your times. Can break the two hours up if you’d like. Everything is open and no masks required. They do control capacity so they could run out of passes. They still had passed to sell today and they prorate them. It would be $99 if today I booked for rest of sailing. 
didn’t ask what it costs for two. 

@HaveDogWillTravel THANK YOU! You are a class act! As I stated in my earlier post, for the two of us on our Sept. 26, 2021 Alaska cruise, the price just changed from $299 to $219. I'm thinking this is due to protocols and the necessity of reservations which were never required in the past.

Hey, if you book to come on our cruise and take the reins, we would be ecstataic. 😁

Thanks again.

I have been following this topic with rapt attention! I asked the following question a couple of times and saw no answer. I've looked posts over carefully but I do have a full head of gray hair . I know the Princess site states that the Enclave in the spa would be closed for 2021cruises (the Enclave takes the place of almost any excursions  for us in Alaska as we have taken most all of the ones of interest to us). Could someone report (in your spare time ) back on the situation? Thanks in advance!

That is not in the Princess app that I know of, and I did look. Use an app called MarineTraffic that lets you view all vessels anywhere in the world. 

@ChangeOrder I was just curious if the app had the ability for passengers. I have used MarineTraffic, but like"crusin" a bit better. They get the data from MarineTraffic, but I find "crusin" a bit more friendly.

Thanks everyone!

From Seattle, you are having to sail outside of the Inside Passage,  I assume that is where there were some high winds and high seas?

 

Maybe they have had supply issues on their Prime Rib, with the restart.

Cant imagine that they would want to take that away!

When @ChangeOrderreported the high winds they were in the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

We aren’t looking great this morning. Picture updates are pretty slow. 
 

That ping certainly looks like you're now on GEO satellites. 

I take it from the previously posted screen shot of the MC app that you can see the current position and track of the Majestic. Is that the case? 

Any word on the thermal suite? 

@HaveDogWillTravel Really miss your posts! I would love to see some posts from you! People seem to have gotten the message about off-topic posts. If more are posted, just roll your eyes, shake your head and go to the next post.

Your input has been quite valuable to me, and I'm sure many others!

Regardless of your decision, I hope that you have a wonderful cruise!

The garlic prawns were amazing. More of a garlic flavored citrus sauce they were cooked in, nice and light. The pina colada soup was ok, wouldn’t be a repeat for me. 
 

It’s incredibly windy this evening, and the little whistling alarm goes off when you open your balcony door. The Capt came on with an announcement about it too. Much of this late afternoon and evening has been in heavy fog. A tiny bit of ship movement being felt, but I’ve had much worse. 

@ChangeOrder On the "crusin" cruise ship tracker, it looks like the ship almost grounded at Port Angeles (way off course). I look at that and just can't believe it is correct!

If you have the Princess Plus  package with wifi, how much more for extra devices?

Is the thermal suite available? The Patter above shows tours of it.

Is there any live streaming for sail away? Want to feel the excitement! I searched youtube and facebook but can't find any. Bridge and port cam is not clear and no sound. Thanks in advance.

It may be that they will live stream it on Princess's Facebook page.

Found this video of passengers checking in at the port today on the Princess Facebook page:

Wishing you all a safe and spectacular journey !
We will be onboard for the Spt. 26th sailing.
If anyone is able, could I ask you to post a screen shot of a speed test while connected to MedallionNet?  Have "boatloads" of fun and adventure!

Mike, 

It may change when they go from MEO To GEO satellites. I think that happens somewhere parallel to Vancouver.

Did they offer any complimentary Princess masks?
