Thanks for info. I checked excursion reservation for Canal Day and times are not filled in. Makes sense since one does not know what time Canal entry is. I will definitely take a pic from balcony, reaching out and touching wall.

We have an excursion on Canal Day. How long are we actually in the locks before getting into the Lake and then off for our excursion? We will need to monitor our time at different viewing spots and then be prepared to go ashore.

Thanks

Maybe 4 or 5 inches tops. I have a miserable hip and managed. She should be okay.

As long as I have fresh towels, morning is fine. If I ever have to go on Carnival again, I'll get some extra pool towels for the evening shower. But if they keep reducing services, while steady raising gratuities, hopefully they won't mind if I go reduce gratuities. The ONLY way Carnival (any of them really) will listen is when they start losing revenue.

BopRN.

Welcome to Princess. Thanks for all the info. We do this trip in 8 days. We will bring some sort of snack (prepackaged, non fruit) off the ship because of diabetes concerns. They haven't said anything in the past so hopefully a nonissue this time as well.

Great idea. I'll add to packing list.

I've got enough Duluth Trading clothing with wicking features and safari hat with venting which should help with heat. Hiking boots will be warm but bearable. Here on the shores of Lake Erie, we now are down to 40s at night and struggle for 60 in the daytime. Which means blood is heading towards molasses weight. A concern I have is fluid loss, being diabetic and staying stable. But we will have plenty of G2, glucose tabs and small battery operated hand held fans. Sounds like overkill but beats a coma.

Thanks everyone. Sounds like the struggle will be real with the heat and humidity. We always bring large brimmed hats and plenty of spray. The wife is in Oncology field and we have some 95 protection. We will have backpacks for many waters as well. Only 9 days before leaving!

Watching the weather and heat index, which looks rough. What is the suggested dress for rainforest and Canal excursions. Long pants and 100 degrees does not sound like fun.

Thanks for your help

Unisex Togas. Problem solved.

If the wrong way, just rotate the mattress.

Thanks for the responses. I did see the other posting after I had submitted mine. My apologies for the oversight, I was seeing if it was ship specific. I also called Princess but they do not publish in advance but said to check the dailies when we board. Fair enough.

Two part question.

Anyone know the current movies showing on the Big Screen? Do they switch each ? This is our first trip that covers two months starting this Oct 29. I got an email yesterday from Princess about entertainment onboard but the section for the Deck movies was generic.

Thanks for your help.

We are done packing and I have a lovely evening gown to wear. However the wife, is refusing to dine with me that evening. The nerve....

We leave on the Coral, October 29th and are taking the Gatun Locks excursion. It is supposed to show up close the Canal in operation. Hopefully 96G is enough space for the day.

Cruises were made for steamy movies....

it depends on the passenger mix. I prefer the shoulder season where the atmosphere is "retired grandma." sometimes, particularly on carnival, that turns into "drunk grandma." i've seen my fair share of grandmas getting plastered and trying not to throw out a hip while dancing by the pool.

lol

<yawn>

Nothing screws up a vacation more than door slammers. There always is that early riser than doesn't think or care about their neighbors. Pretty accurate review though.

I never care as to what someone is wearing. I'm there for a nice dinner and stare into my brides', of 40 years, eyes. We are done packing for next trip and no suit is coming. In the last year and a half, I have lost 80 lbs and buying new clothes makes little sense. So dress slacks, collared shirt and tie will have to do. I could wear an old suit but it would get more stares than shirt and tie.

Go enjoy vacation. The Indians are winning it all.:D

Carnival only stops at Freeport to make Nassau look good. ;)

That's a fact.

I don't hate it. I get early room access because of it.

You get early access after all the diamonds, plats, suites, weddings. Just get to the port at 2 pm and walk straight on. Save the $80 for nothing.

Undereducated, you will be my poster child of uneducated you don't know me nor I you. Today the difference is the stuff is much stronger and unless used for real medical reasons such as seizures then it's drug use which is a problem. So let's be clear when your getting heart surgery you want to pass out weed so the doctors and nurses can get high before they operate?? And please don't educate me on how it's good for the economy with taxes. We have more drug treatment centers going up by alarming rates in this country. Off my soapbox!

Instead they show up under the influence of alcohol, which there are cases. As a victim of surgical error, and 8 years now of chronic pain, there are clear cases of beneficial attributes. Let's see how long Ohio drags their feet now that it's been somewhat approved. I didn't get into the tax dollars involved but they are huge. Of course that will be abused the same way the Lottery for School is. I think less unemployment would help keep people busy and less treatment would be needed. Why is nothing shown on alcoholism rates in the country?

That's HAL, another totally different universe. Just go down to the buffet, with your bathrobe on, like everyone else.
