Thanks for the replies and advice. The ship provides them on-request and has added that note to our stateroom.

I wanted to ask if the clothes steamer that Virgin provides in the stateroom is decent quality or not. Thank you.

Hello.  Aside from the bottles of shampoo, conditioner and lotion, does Princess provide a bath and body gel in Suite Staterooms?

Thank you.

Thanks for the replies, although disappointed, I'm certain they'll have an exceptional assortment of other items.

We are in something they call a "suites dining area," although I can't picture how that's set up.

It's hard to search this question.  Any venue on upcoming Majestic cruise offer sushi?

We're cruising in Sept from Vancouver to Sydney.

Thank you.

Ship  Sky Princess

 

Class  Royal Class

 

Deck  Dolphin

 

Stateroom #  726

 

Category S2 Sky Suite

 

Port/Starboard/Bow/Stern Port side Aft corner

 

Connects With Cabin # n/a

 

Accessible No

 

Quiet Yes

 

Balcony Size Enormous, and wraps around the corner, with sliding doors from both the living room and bedroom opening onto the balcony, a small dining table with 2 chairs, and 2 loungers with a small side table. It's partially covered, which is nice for getting out of sun or rain.

 

View Unobstructed

 

Privacy Issues  Because balcony is only partially covered, majority of the balcony can be viewed from above

 

Wind A little at times, but not bad at all.

 

Soot A little, but was not too bad at all, even when in port.

 

Problems None

 

Comments We loved the enormous balcony, and the separate bedroom, as well as the fact that the bathroom is divided into a large room with sink, shower and tub, and a second smaller room with a sink and toilet. Also, there was ample storage, both for hanging clothes, and on shelves and in the many, many drawers all around the cabin. There were also plenty of electrical outlets and charging ports, including in the base of the bedside lamps. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We're in D726 on Majestic Princess for 30 night Australia from Vancouver, this coming September.  Wow! That balcony can throw a really good party!  Thanks for the pictures.

I'd like to ask a question about NordVPN.  We're doing a 30 night Majestic Princess this coming September (2022) and wanted to know what the procedure if I have a Nord account.  How does it work with the onboard wifi, especially when at sea days?

Thank you, I'm new to both VPN and extended sea days and the ship's wifi.

Thanks. Appreciate your analysis.  

So if the ship is backing up, those particles end up on the balcony's sliding glass door.  (((joking)))

I said it was free-association based on an article I read regarding slope and speed of transmission on an escalator.  There was an instance from South Korea, during the peak of Delta, where one person sneezed on an upward bound escalator.  Through sophisticated contact tracing, it was shown that over 60% of those behind her got infected.

It was a similar situation with the aft photo of a passenger ship, and that brought it to mind.

...and associated, would be whether side balconies have a horizontal spread?  If the ship was traveling in open seas, speed would be a factor.  

Purely speculation here.  Does the tiered balcony arrangement on ships, pose an increased exposure to a Covid type virus?

Thanks for the responses.  

I searched some threads but couldn't find something specific to Pacific Ocean cruising and the quality of the Wi-Fi on Majestic Princess.

Do apps like Netflix, Disney+ and Prime work well on-board?  Comcast has a streaming feature where you can remotely view programs recorded on your home DVR.

We're doing a long cruise from Vancouver to Sydney next year.

Thank you.

We're booked on Getaway for this August.  I saw today (Fri) that all categories were listed as Sold Out.  

I called and the rep said most June, July, Aug Med cruises were locked pending an NCL corporate decision this coming week.
