There are a bunch of threads on this topic if you do a search. Below is a recent one...

@echoshipmate Hope to meet you onboard! We are usually at Vines 5 to 7:30ish...

We are going to give the Sun a try in October of 2025, 36-day Med & TA. Hopefully, we will like it??? 🤷‍♂️

My DW has me on a 60-day at-a-time maximum away from home restriction! We will be on the Coral Princess starting on October 17th for 32 days, then will be home for 2 weeks before boarding the Majestic on Dec 1st. My work-around! 🤣

We will be on the Majestic starting on Dec 1st for 51 days!

I have not seen or heard anything? 🤷‍♂️

Still full service bar. There are no plans to remove Vines. @Anubi You probably heard something about the removal of the Harmony Restaurant on deck 5, being replaced by The Catch. A Sabatini's will replace The Catch's current location on deck 7. The Noodle Bar on the Lido deck is also scheduled to be replaced by a "Slice" pizza venue. These changes are scheduled to occur during the March of 2025 dry dock in Palermo, Italy.

Yes, there is a Vines on the Majestic Princess. It is on deck 5. 🍷

@galensgrl Call the dine line as soon as you board.

I'm still a bit skeptical that this will work out, but we will find out next week how it turns out? 🤷‍♂️

Let us know how this works out for you. Btw, our DD, SIL and GD are on your cruise. Have a great time!

Right after the pandemic start-up this was possible on most cruises. Now with ships sailing at capacity, it would be very rare to get an upgrade after boarding.

Btw, the Chef's Table is $140 pp.

Below is a recent thread re: using the HDMI port on the back of the stateroom TV's... \

Based on the below from the Press Release, it looks like those pizza's will only be available at Alfredo's or Gigi's. The new Chef Gemignani-designed pizzas will take center stage at Alfredo's and Gigi's specialty pizzerias

Next dry dock will be in March of 2025 in Palermo, Italy. They will be removing Harmony Restaurant and replacing it with the Catch by Rudi. A Sabatini's is to take the Catch's current location on deck 7. The Noodle bar will be replaced by pizza by the slice venue.

Guest Services will break large US bills for smaller bills. They do not "sell" any foreign currency.

We use these...

It is clearly stated that both cruise credits and sea days will be doubled.

For us it has been the Crown Grill Bar due to their top shelf wine selections (and lack of a Vines bar). 🍷

We have not been on the Island Princess in some time and do not remember if we streamed via the HDMI port? We will be on the Coral Princess this October (sister ship) and will hopefully be streaming. I'll post on my "Live" thread re: my ability to do so.

Our cruises typically range from 30 to 60 days at a time. The ship's TV gets really boring after awhile. It's great to be able to watch Netflix, Hulu, etc...
