Any idea when Summer 2024 from Southampton will go on sale?

D725 is a Deluxe so you will get a sofa, so the cabin will be a little larger than D701-709 which only has a chair.  The balconies appear to be the same size though from the deck plan and only get smaller on D627-631.

 

We were in D727 and this is a pic of D725's balcony which was empty on our trip.

 

 

Thanks Lynne! Do you know if D725 looked straight down to sea or over deck/cabin? Thanks

Not sure if you can tell from these photos of Sky Princess.  If not, someone else may respond with further info.

Would you say the cabin/balcony is the same size as d725? Also could you look straight down the the sea or was it onto a deck? 
Thanks

So are we thinking Anthem will be based in Southampton AGAIN summer 2024? 🤔☹️

How many shares do you need to have for this benefit? Is it £100 worth or 100 shares? Many thanks

All you need is a documented positive test at least 10 days before the sailing.  This is what my daughter used, there was no secondary screening in her case.
I wouldn't even bother trying to get a negative test 2-3 days in advance.  It will probably still be positive, but if you are the minimum 10 days out testing positive, that's all you need.

Was this from Southampton recently? 

Does anybody have experience of being within the 90 days post covid and going to the port at Southampton with a recovery letter?

Maybe +/- 50, not counting the cabanas?

Do they usually sell out quickly in January? If we don’t rush to book it when we board I take it we’ll miss out? 

We will be sailing on Enchanted 10 night Caribbean. Roughly how many loungers are actually available in the sanctuary? 

Hey everyone! They say it’s good to talk so I’m really glad I started this thread 😀 it’s so interesting to see everyone’s opinion and for it then to move to how someone holds their knife and fork (people must have way too much time on their hands to think about this). I can honestly say I’ve never looked at other tables/diners on our many previous cruises.  Each to their own but enjoy your holiday and focus on what’s important. Which is most definitely not what others are doing. We love cruising, and yes my husband will wear smart shorts to the MDR. If he is told they are not allowed we will gracefully take that information and dine elsewhere. On formal night, if we feel like dressing up in our suits and gowns then we will. If not, off to eat somewhere else instead 😀 I cannot wait to fill you all in with what happens when we sail. Did he get in with shorts or did he not? Have a fab Monday everyone.... here’s to many smooth sailings?

This thread so far has actually been pretty tame and that is to your credit...   your reactions to the responses have been patient and respectful.  A different OP may have not fared so well, and I appreciate your staying on the high road. 

Thank you! I believe everyone is different and it would be a very boring world if not 😀 opinions can be listened to, taken onboard and given back in a respectful manner. I did struggle a bit with the ‘’lazy slob’ comment as my husband is the hardest worker I know and I’m a key worker who has been supporting our local hospice through this whole pandemic. But hey ho, each to their own 😃 I’m just grateful that we might be able to cruise again after all this madness... in shorts or not haha

LOL - maybe you have not been around the Princess board for very long.  Not only have dress code threads in the past been zones of hot debate, several have eventually been deleted by moderators just to put the fires out.  😉

 

New to Princess board, a very interesting welcome haha!

I have no political view of what this lady's husband wears either but insofar as she has politely asked a question we should be respectful and try to advise the likely outcome in a friendly manner.

 

Kind Regards John

Thanks John, I didn’t realise this would be such an emotive topic 😉 I do appreciate your nice reply. If one thing the last year has taught me, it’s to not take things to heart and enjoy life while you can! Even if it is in shorts 😃😃

Fantastic post 😁

I'm sure Princess will soon announce that vaccinated passengers may wear shorts in the dining room.  In keeping with future predictions,  here are the winning numbers for tomorrow's Jumbo Bucks lottery game...

This made me chuckle out loud 😂😂

I don't care what your husband wears. I have more important business like minding my own.

Life’s too short 👍👍

Sorry, but my husband is a Brit and he still thinks shorts are for the golf course and the beach.  I think he’s just confused about the term “smart” referring to shorts.  He’s just old school, so I don’t pay too much mind.  I don’t care what anybody wears, as long as it’s clean.  Enjoy your cruise!

Thanks Lady Arwen 😀

We have just booked R423 and R427 on Enchanted. Does anybody have any photos of similar balconies that we can expect?

Enchanted....January 28, 2023 - Enchanted Princess Roll Calls - Cruise Critic Community

Fab 😀 will be lovely to chat to people before we go!

I have been on 8-10 Royal Caribbean cruises and nearly every dinner was in the MDR.  While your husband may have worn “smart” shorts for dinner, they are not appreciated by many guests and not encouraged by cruise line dress guidance. Shorts are only acceptable at breakfast and lunch.

Paula

Thanks Paula 😀 apologies if my husbands previous MDR dress code may have offended you if we shared a cruise. Are you joining us on 28th January 2023? 

4 minutes ago, Lady Arwen said:

Respectfully, what are “smart dress shorts”?  I always thought shorts were just shorts.

Smart chino shorts, but yea shirts are shorts 😂😂

Oh wow a dress code post life MUST be getting back to normal 😂😂😂😂

Post Covid dress code discussions 😂😂

I have seen men turned away in the MDR for wearing shorts but not on every ship. Be sure and bring long pants or jeans

Thank you for the advice, good to know just incase!

10 minutes ago, chrysalis said:

Sorry,,,but in the past, except for the first night, and the last night, long pants are usually required in the MDR

Good to know 😀

Great...one of us need to start a Roll Call...there are some of us who have done these cruises many times, and are probably able to answer most questions.

That would be great, we need all the help and tips we can get 😀
