Hi! First time Princess cruise coming up in 2024. Traveling with family (there will be nine of us).
I've read through Medallion posts and see that you have to give permission for people traveling with you to 'see' you. Say, just for example, my husband and I don't want to be 'found' and just want to spend a day or evening alone, can we rescind permission for awhile and then (maybe) grant it again?
They're family, we love them, but..... 🙄

I realize that this is an ancient thread, but I was also wondering if there is now a club on the Majestic where we can dance to rock/disco music. Either Band or  DJ s fine; we just like to dance just not the twirly-dancing.
Thanks!

The Princess Cruise we've booked for next June spends from 7:00pm until 11:59pm in Victoria.
One of the excursions offered is Fireworks at Butchart Gardens, which I thought would be awesome, as the cruise ends the next day; kind of a 'last hurrah'.
BUT, then it specifically says this excursion is only offered July-September (so why they added it to potential excursions for our sailing is a mystery).

We're not really 'garden' people, so we'll likely pass on the Garden/High Tea excursions.
I've read on CC about 'fake' pubs, but we can be gullible if the food, drinks and music are good!
Any suggestions for a fun, maybe a little crazy way to spend our last night?
Thanks!
 

Our travel agent booked this cabin for our family reunion Alaska cruise in 2024 (early planning).
Any photos, advice, opinions you's like to share?
Thanks!

Very true, Dan. We just got off the Conquest this past Sunday and the food choices were nearly endless. For lunch we always checked the "taste of nations" and then moved on to the "grand buffet" on the other side which always seemed to have interesting and tasty stuff. Then we would check PC's wok (?), and then upstairs at Sur Mer... all of that BEFORE making our decision! :D Sometimes we ended up with a little bit from several spots. :rolleyes:

Burning off calories ahead of time!

Sounds good? Based on what? The previous poster only said the name, nothing about what is in it.

 

I can say this based on the name: It may be the greatest drink ever, but us guys will be too chicken to order it with a name like that!;)

On one of our first cruises to Mexico, we were hanging out at the bar one hot afternoon. Everyone was drinking pretty heavily ("Fun Day at Sea"). A woman who had obviously reached her limit a lot earlier, staggered up to the bar and ordered a SEX ON THE LIPS.

The stunned looks on the faces of everyone at the bar, including the bartender, were priceless. Then, a ROAR of laughter erupted. The woman had no clue why we were all hysterical. It still makes me giggle......

Signed the logbook on the PRIDE. I seem to remember it was prominently displayed on a little pedestal in the library (maybe have my ships mixed up, though). Greg Kneale, the CD on the PRIDE then may have had something to do with this. He was a big fan of Cruise Critic.

When we were on the Pride, the logbook was in the Sunset Gardens on the Starboard side of the ship. They had topiary in planters with white styrofoam peanuts. The log was in a ziplock bag in one of these planters, which was why we had to rifle through several of them until we found it!

I'm happy to hear they moved it to a 'place of honor' in the library. They probably just got sick of cleaning up all those styrofoam peanuts!

In October 2003, we sailed on the Pride to Mexico. Apparently Carnival wouldn't let CC put a log book in the library, so it was hidden in a secret location on the ship.

We spent HOURS one afternoon trying to 'casually' rifle through planters looking for the log book, hoping no one was wondering what we were doing!

We finally found it and it was like finding buried treasure, literally. We read all of the previous entries, which was really cool and added our own.

I wonder if it's still there....I doubt it. I really wonder what Carnival did with it when they found it!

We bought one of those photo albums, with the whole Alaska thing on it. It is sort of cheezy, but when we got home and put all the pictures in , it looks great on the coffee table. We bought the one with the leather cover. Friends of ours went also, and didn't buy it, when they saw ours, they were so sorry they didn't get it. they ended up ordering it over the internet and paid double. (You do need something to pput all those great pictures in)

Where did you get this? Were they everywhere?

Thanks!

Anything interesting to buy in Sitka? Any shops I shouldn't miss?

Still hoping for a phone number or a website for M and M Tours.....

Thanks!

Christy

Do you have a phone number or web site for M and M?

Thanks!
