Princess Cruises - Port - Bar, Montenegro Princess has shore excursions for this port, including Kotor... 😁 That's odd, how long has Bar Montenegro been in the list of Princess shore excursions?

Diamond Princess mini bar setup. (without the wine, of course)

The biggest ship that stopped in Kotor so far was the Norwegian Epic (330 m long, 40.6 m wide). That's pretty much the size of the Royal Class ships. Sun Princess is 345 m long and 47 m wide. So yes, the Sun may be too big for the channel.

😄

They no longer exist. Even 16 months ago on a LA-FLL sailing.

You mean disembark.

Yes, the Royal is back in Sydney today. Next is the repositioning cruise to Japan and then onward to Alaska. 1 Sa. 06.04 Sydney (AU) Australia 16:00 2 So. 07.04 At Sea 3 Mo. 08.04 Brisbane Australia 07:00 17:00 4 Di. 09.04 At Sea 5 Mi. 10.04 At Sea 6 Do. 11.04 At Sea 7 Fr. 12.04 At Sea 8 Sa. 13.04 Darwin Australia 09:00 18:00 9 So. 14.04 At Sea 10 Mo. 15.04 At Sea 11 Di. 16.04 At Sea 12 Mi. 17.04 At Sea 13 Do. 18.04 At Sea 14 Fr. 19.04 Hongkong Hongkong 07:00 22:00 15 Sa. 20.04 At Sea 16 So. 21.04 Taipei (Keelung) Taiwan 07:00 18:00 17 Mo. 22.04 At Sea 18 Di. 23.04 Kagoshima Japan 07:00 17:00 19 Mi. 24.04 Kochi (Japan) Japan 09:00 19:00 20 Do. 25.04 Osaka Japan 07:00 19:00 21 Fr. 26.04 Shimizu Japan 12:00 21:00 22 Sa. 27.04 Yokohama (Tokyo) Japan 06:30

Game changing innovation must have something to do with barrel chairs.

7am Shorex means being 6:30am in the Princess Theather for sure. 🤣

Yes, ok. Talking about Vines, it is very tiny on the older Grand Class ships. It's a much nicer location on Royal Class ships. About the noise, hm the same?

About the Piazza, you may be right. I never understand people like sitting there for the whole day. 😄

My record was 7 months. Back in 2022. But the money came.

Yes / no / sometimes. You will find out.

This is a sea day at noon, 27°C on the fully booked Royal Princess. Crowded?

IC has two lines. Usually a short line for the food and a long line for the coffee stuff. OceanNow can take some unpredictable time to deliver in the morning because crew is busy serving the hanger breaky.

There is still a BIG difference between 3000+ and 5000+ ships. Royal class ships - at full capacity - are way less crowded than the RCL mayhem.

Enchanted Princess, it will be Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. https://www.brooklyncruiseguide.com/cruise-calendar.html That's not a good idea for this port. LGA airport hotel + Princess transfer (or an Uber) is the best option if you don't plan sightseeing Manhattan before the cruise. If you travel with 4 people, a (large) taxi or Uber is way less expensive than booking 4 Princess transfers.

SOU-AMS is going out too early to reach it in the morning or too late in the evening to get a connection to the U.S. in AMS.

Wow, that's some bad news. We overfished. It's simple.

This is all not fresh locally sourced. It's loaded just deep-freezed in Vancouver, Seattle or Whittier.

Did you know that coconut palm trees and pineapples are NOT native to the Hawaiian islands?

Just like last year. King Crab is not even on the menus of the local restaurants at the moment. Only Snow Crab and Dungeness Crab. Anyway, a lot of people say that Dungeness Crab tastes better than King Crab. If you can find King Crab anywhere in the U.S. right now, it most likely comes from Norway.

Well, sometimes they do. It depends on what you selected in your profile.

Is this the Four Seasons? My Sydney pre-cruise hotel 3 weeks ago was the neighboring Shangri-La. With Bridge, Opera & Royal Princess view. But only from 7th floor ... 😭
