libellule Posted February 1, 2012 #8 Share Posted February 1, 2012 1. Enjoy every minute from arrival to airport - have a glass of champagne to start with on the plane 2. Enjoy staying at Embassy Suites in FL & do last minute shopping - wine-wine-wine! 3. Being very excited about my very first aft corner balcony 4. Going to the sail away party with a marguarita! And win something: massage, free tournament at the casino, or else 5. Sit back et do nothing: no grocery, no planning, no cooking, no cleaning 6. Enjoy the sun and warm weather and cold pools (I hope) 7. Swim in the ocean everywhere we get off and working on my tan 8. Walking around the promenade every morning and having tears because it is so beautiful 9. Being around happy people 10. Breakfast room service (never had it either) 11. Winning at the casino (?) Will I want to come back? Hum...not sure! Have a great cruise all of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikingRob Posted February 1, 2012 #14 Share Posted February 1, 2012 And Finally, watch the ship pull away from the dock as stragglers run franticaly toward the ship That is why if we can't get an aft cabin we always try and get the port side!:D Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LollyMoz Posted February 1, 2012 #15 Share Posted February 1, 2012 1. Ultimate balcony dinner 2. Do chef's table again 3. Champagne breakfast room service 4. Purchase art at the art auction 5. Be up either really early or really late and walk around the ship when hardly anyone is around. 6. I second the previous poster who said "mix up the chair hoggers!" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loge23 Posted February 1, 2012 #17 Share Posted February 1, 2012 We have fortunate enough to experience many of the above Princess wish list items, so here's our top 5 recs (most already noted): 1) Balcony Dinner and/or Breakfast. If you have never experienced this treat, it's worth a whirl. We have had this a couple of times, with mixed results (weather related), but do try! 2) Staying onboard at Princess Cay. If it's winter, stay onboard. The sun is the same you would get on the Cay and the pool is most probably a lot warmer than ocean - not to mention the relative peace of being onboard. 3) Take Breakfast at the Coffee bar/International Cafe. Buy a coffee card and slide on down to the Cafe for a cappucino and pastry treat - or an "egg mcmuffin" type of sandwich (treats inclusive). Grab a table at the window and watch the waters flow by. Later in the afternoon, grab a table at the Vines across the lobby - try the Gerwurztraminer or a Sancerre - rare by-the-glass offerings. Add in some sushi or sashimi, or tapas (food inclusive). 4) Try the Chef's Table. Again, we had mixed results on this one but the experience is wonderful. We like Sabatino's also. 5) Grab a steamer lounge on the Promenade on a sea day and bring along a good book. Want to feel like you are on a old-school cruise ship and see and hear nothing but the sea? Try this little diversion and enjoy your nap! Honorable mention: Bring along some good Champagne for your Balcony room, maybe a little cognac for after dinner on the seaside! One more: Participate in one of the kooky contests - either putting, or trivia, etc. You will have a lot of fun, meet like-minded people, and maybe win a award!

stoneharborlady Posted February 1, 2012 #18 Share Posted February 1, 2012 1. Win at Bingo! Enjoy stuffed olives & cheese styx in Adagio Can anyone tell me what the olives are stuffed with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikingRob Posted February 1, 2012 #19 Share Posted February 1, 2012 1. Win at Bingo! Enjoy stuffed olives & cheese styx in Adagio Can anyone tell me what the olives are stuffed with? Off the top of my head.....garlic, blue cheese, jalapeno, almonds, pimento(boring), I am sure there are more, just can't think of them! They are wonderful. This is one of the things I am looking forward to in April!! Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USVI-4-me Posted February 1, 2012 #20 Share Posted February 1, 2012 1) Stay up all night 2) Get a new coffee card 3) Have breakfast in the dining room 4) Try different wines at Vines 5) Go to Karaoke I love the coffee card, the silent movies on pool deck, the pizza, Wheelhouse Bar, the pizza, the two levels of solarium, and much more. Thank goodness there's no more smoking in the cabins or on balconies. Maris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovingretirement Posted February 1, 2012 #22 Share Posted February 1, 2012 My five new things: 1) Drive to port rather than fly 2) Cruise on the Grand 3) Cruise with three other couples we've known for 40+ years 4) Try the International Cafe and Alredo's 5) Do our own thing in ports rather than the ship's excursions THREE MORE DAYS>>>>>>>>>>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got back from a Princess cruise. The one thing I didn't try was the wine flight sampler in Vines. I did everything else I wanted to do.

beary Posted February 1, 2012 #24 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I just realized how good Sally has it, I get breakfast and bring it back to the room every morning for us to enjoy on the balcony. Hmm, I think I will check out Princess. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jilllofalltrades Posted February 1, 2012 Author #25 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I'm afraid most of my list has to do with eating AND drinking. I would also like to get one of those monkey head drinks at Princess Cays. They would look so cute on my bar at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
