Yes, the ship has run out of white flour! 🤔 Last night in the MDR they were serving the bread and butter (not on the tables), no salt or pepper on the tables. This morning at the IC coffee bar, you could not access the sweetners or cup lids. So, there is "something" going around. The crew are not wearing masks so my guess would be Noro?

It was 2 hrs from the time we walked in to the time we left. However, the DRO sat with us for about a 20 minute conversation. And yes, I would have the branzino again.

We both had the lobster tortellini. For our mains, Debbie had the eggplant parmesan and I had the branzino.

Currently at the Buffet, salt and pepper shakers on the tables.

Currently on the Emerald, we had dinner in Sabatini's two nights ago. The food and service were excellent.

Here is the one we always bring onboard.

Yes, I have spoken to them several times. They are very nice. This morning it is cloudy and much cooler. The swells are not bad.

Today it is sunny and warm, but there is a strong breeze blowing...

Btw, for those that enjoy the Chef's Table, on the Emerald they are having them in Sabatini's.

We have another quarantine cabin, this one is 3 doors down from our cabin. They have their breakfast order on their door. 🥺

They must of had minimal luggage??? I guess they could have hidden stuff in large beach bags. Princess should have their credit card and passport info so they will be hit with PVSA fines? 🤔

Hurricane Calvin

Just now leaving Nawiliwili. Captain made an announcement that we were a bit late leaving because they were waiting for four passengers that decided to disembark today without informing Princess. No bueno!!! He also said that we should be swinging fairly South of Calvin, but will be having larger swells on our 2nd sea day.

Super fun day at the beach today in Nawiliwili Bay. We walked from the ship, an easy 15 minute stroll, to the beach in front of the Marriott's Royal Sonesta Hotel. The weather was perfect with a slight breeze. In the above photo, our ship is behind the trees. If you look closely in the above photo you can see our ship through the trees. In front of Duke's, we rented 4 beach chairs and 2 umbrellas ($50 for 2 chairs and an umbrella).

No, not at all. 😄 But, we like to get our preferred cabin booked before it is gone.

We have been monitoring the hurricane. Today it is supposed to go from a Cat 2 to a Cat 3 hurricane. Captain has yet to comment on the storm. I think he will today as we leave Kauai. I agree with you that we will definitely feel the rough seas associated with the storm. Buckle-up Buttercup! 🌊

We usually cruise the Med at least every other year. We always choose to do the last Med voyage of the season and then the TA to Ft Lauderdale (back-to-back). This puts us in the Med in mid to late October. Weather is never hot and ports are not crowded. We also get to rest-up on the sea days back to Florida.

Our TA is all ready for the 8:00 am release on the 26th!

Good morning Nawiliwili! 🌺 Just had a passing rain shower.

The table was there for 48 hrs, lots of dirty dishes left on it, and red bio-hazard bags also on the table throughout the day with trash. Good indication that someone was ill. 🤔

Yes, on prior visits. We saw lots of them going to tables today. They are amazing!

It was a beautiful day today. First let me start with the water shuttle situation. Debbie and I went to the Michelangelo MDR at 10 am (designated for Elite water shuttles). We were in the shuttle and on our way ashore at 10:30. Our kids were meeting friends that are vacationing on the island. They picked up their water shuttle tickets at 10:30, after sleeping in. They did not make it ashore until 12:30! Apparently, the port authorities slowed down the speed of the shuttles arrival into the marina. We heard lots of complaints and many folks missed their independent excursions. We walked around, did a little shopping and had lunch at Kimo's. We were back on the water shuttle at 1:30, no waiting at all. @wallyj This one is for you, with my Panama hat! We shared the avocado/Ahi Poke Debbie had a Caesar salad with baked deep-sea snapper. I had the baked deep-sea snapper, jasmine rice and macaroni salad. It was all delicious!
