Sheila got covid a year ago on Sky TA. Came down with it first day of crossing. After self testing called medical dept guy came up and tested both of us, Sheila positive me negative. Offered some stuff to help with symptoms and offered me the choice of whether to quarantine with Sheila. Silly me said yes. They had two sections for covid patients. Had a balcony before and had one for quarantine. After that they came back once for Sheila to take her pressure and every few days to test me. Room service young lady was great, we got pretty much whatever we wanted and she sent other stuff that she thought we might like. Last morning they escorted us off the ship to a waiting taxi never did go thru customs.

I would liberate one that is not being used at the time. Not as if you are keeping it after you leave.

First Time Princess & Alaska Cruiser - Lots of ????
Micahs Grandad replied to MistyRo76's topic in Princess Cruises
To me it does not matter where the cabin is. Best to go up on deck and go back and forth as scenery changes. -
Have not seen any on our last four cruises since covid

Enchanted roulette table has added number (princess head)
Micahs Grandad replied to Bridgestone66's topic in Princess Cruises
They added the third zero awhile saw it on several ships. Also BJ payout was reduced. Guess they needed to increase the house profit but as a result spend less time in casino. -
Is it smart to wait to purchase internet until on board
Micahs Grandad replied to hpeabody's topic in Princess Cruises
We wait till we get on the ship. Our cell phone company gives us email and texting at foreign ports so we buy it when we have several sea days -

We took Island end of July for voyage up the coast of Norway to Northcape. We were told by friends we would not enjoy the layout of the ship but did it due to a super itinerary. Much different than any other Princess ship and missed the Int Cafe. As I recall shows were 7 and 9 pm and production shows and flyons were very good. Had excellent waitstaff in dining room. Service in Horizon was poor. Apparently lots of new crew including those on first ship and many wandered around quite a bit never looking at passengers to see what they might want. The hardest workers were two supervisors who did much more helping passengers than the crew. Island had very nice library and great service from IT people. Loved the itinerary but would stick with larger and newer ships in the future unless another unique itinerary.

Your pretty much on your own but skip preprocessed foods

Go up on deck and go from side to side.

We did a connosieur tour for Alaska and was great. Dinners were included including a tour director who travelled with us and handled any issues. We went way into Denali would say at least 50 miles, could have hopped onto another bus to go the rest of the way but we chose not to. Was expensive but glad we did it.

Recent Experience at Alfredo's Restaurant

They run the risk of taking away to many people and people vote with their feet to cruise elsewhere -

The apps are good the pizza so so and not worth paying extra for -
Does the Regal Princess have Coffee Makers in the Cabins
Micahs Grandad replied to cruisinsince75's topic in Princess Cruises
No, understand that sometimes ships going around the british isles might have tea pots. Did one about 5 years ago and do not remember if we had one -
Think we were on the same cruise. Amazing how warm it was at North cape and than as soon as we turned south temp was down to low 50's.
-
For the liquor set up would think most would take home the little bottles not used. We took advantage of the coffee but probably never used up all 15.
-
And hope all goes well with debarkation and not to long to checkin and go thru security. If you have a choice would not do it before noon
-
Int Cafe becomes a pay for and think that would be the last straw. Still not happy they took away the swap for coffee card for elites.

Elite Laundry Enchanted Princess
Micahs Grandad replied to Micahs Grandad's topic in Princess Cruises
True Thinking on the Island they had a lot of new crew members so thinking few assigned to laundry. Since it took 3 days we sent out smaller bags every day or two, like many others I would imagine so overall longer times mean more loads of laundry for the laundry to deal with.. -
Interesting.

Elite Laundry Enchanted Princess
Micahs Grandad replied to Micahs Grandad's topic in Princess Cruises
Sky was ta and was next day. Island was not and three days. Guessing hotel director decides how many crew members do laundry.
