Yes, but we have not spent very much time there. We have friends onboard that are in a balcony and we are mostly hanging out in Vines.

Amen!!!

The Majestic currently has 6 Sommeliers onboard. I would ask to speak with your restaurant manager. Hope your situation improves!

Have you seen a Sommelier in your dining room? We are on the Majestic and the Sommelier in our dining room has been bringing us glasses of wines that have been available in Vines (Silverado Cab, Paraduxx Blend, Grigich Hills Merlot).

Today's lunch menu. Today's ice creams were Oreo Cookie and Torrincino. We have been skipping dessert, but could not resist the Oreo Cookie! It was delicious! After the start-up, their ice cream choices were only vanilla and chocolate. They have now gone back to making different flavors on a daily basis.

You know what they say about great minds! 🤣 Btw, we have been alternating between the Silverado Cab, Paraduxx Blend, and the Grgich Hills Merlot. Enjoy your cruise (and vinos 🍷)!!!

The changeover to USD occurred when we boarded in Sydney. Btw, I just spoke to the Casino manager. He said the Casino will be smoke-free until Vancouver. After that, he is hoping it will stay that way but he suspects that he will be told that it will revert to smoking.

We checked out the Arcade on deck 6, adjacent to the Casino. Prices for the games ranged from $1.50 to $3.00. Btw, there was no smoke in the Casino. 🤷‍♂️

Cloudy, breezy and a bit cool today. Not quite pool weather yet. I was mistaken last night, we lose an hour tonight (clocks forward 1 hr).

I would lean towards a glitch, I can't see that search option being removed. 🙂

We just received the below notification for our April of 2025 voyage on the 32-day, Sapphire South Pacific cruise. Please be advised that due to operational considerations, Sapphire Princess will no longer call to Lahaina, Hawaii on Monday, April 14, 2025 and will instead call to Kona, Hawaii from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM on this day.

I just did a cruise search, all 4 options are still there? Maybe try a different search engine? 🤷‍♂️

We lose an hour tonight. On our way to Papeete.

The extra dish tonight in the Reserve Dining Room was Shrimp Fra Diavolo.

We found a duck tonight!

Today, we originally planned to take the HoHo bus around town. But we started walking, and kept walking, and walking, and walking!!! All said and done, we racked up 8.2 miles! And, that included a whole bunch of hills! Our feet are a bit tired! We stopped for a bit of shopping and lunch. We were lucky, no rain! As we were headed back to the ship the clouds were getting darker and you could smell the rain in the air. Random photos from around town.

We will be bringing our raincoats today!

Carolyn, have a fantastic cruise! We will be envious of your time in the Sanctuary!!! 😊

Good morning Auckland!

The two bands have been really good, lots of folks dancing in the Piazza. The Prestige Quartet (from Chile) and Dynamix (boarded in Picton) are the bands.

Tonight's extra dish in the Reserve Dining Room was Lobster Rissoto. They prepared grilled vegetables for our starter. We had the coconut shrimp as a second course. We had the Lobster Rissoto for our main and they put a few coconut shrimp on top.

Today we spent a very relaxing time walking around the village of Paihia, Bay of Islands. Thank you @Yehootu for taking our photo! The main street in town.

@Mike A I do not have the exact dates. Sounds like it will probably be before your cruise??? If I find out the exact dates I'll let you know.

We are currently on the Majestic and I met with the Future Cruise Dept a few days ago. No deals! They commented that cruises are sailing at capacity again and we will see few discounted fares.

Good morning Bay of Islands!
