Live from the Island Princess

Yes there is a table on the balconies along with two chairs.

When we left Vancouver the ship was in Code Red. One of the head waiters we know from past cruises said they had 9 reported cases (Noro) coming into Vancouver - but the code red was more of a precaution than due to a threat. By the next morning we were Orange and by lunch back to Green.

I'm assuming it's gone as we have heard nothing about it,people are serving themselves at the buffet ect.

 

Thank you for your reply about norovirus. Your pictures of the Cabo Arch is now my wallpaper on computer. It is georgeous. Thank you.

Hello everyone, today is day two of the three day sail to Costa Rica. It’s a balmy 79 degrees and the seas are a little more active as we are having 50 mph winds, the “bags“have been deployed near the stairwells.

The Ultimate Deck Party was held last night at the Lido pool and had a great turnout of passengers and crew.

 

Attended another lecture this am about the expansion project at the canal, this afternoon will be spent reading and relaxing at the Lotus Pool. 2nd formal dinner is tonight.

What a great picture of movies under the stars! Princess should use it for their ad!!!

 

Glad to hear they are doing lectures on the expansion. We will be on the Coral next month and look forward to hearing about it.

 

Thanks for all the info. I am really enjoying reading your posts.

I need to ask What are the"bags" by the stairwells? Thank you again for all your work and effort. I am thoroughly enjoying this!

When the barf bags appear in the halls and stairwells, it's going to be a "bumpy ride"!

Sea sick bags, just like air sick bags on planes.

Thanks! I never knew that (and we owned a boat for years :) maybe I should have had those on board as we always boated on Lake Erie)

Anyone really sick or are the bags a preventative measure? :confused:

mainly preventative, our waiter said they had a few cancellations due to queasiness

[TracieABD]

Loving the photos--- You have a real knack for photography!

 

Thank you for posting the pictures, and I hope you are in for smoother sails...:)

Your pictures of Cabo are amazing! Thanks for the "live updates" and adding a little sunshine in my day.

That lunch looks fantastic. Do you remember the name of the restaurant?:D

He said it was "The Office", but I'm glad that you brought up the lunch. It does look yummy and I would love directions from the tender pier. :D

The easiest way is to take a water taxi for two or three dollars if you don't mind getting off in knee deep water. You can also walk over there if you are in good shape.

 

A land taxi can also take you there.

 

The Office is on Medano beach among several other bars and restaurants.

[bfmac]

Thanks to both of you. I didn't realize that was the name of the restaurant. It really does look yummy. Will try it the next time we are there.

We are in D718, 2-3 cabins from the aft veiwing area, there is very little traffic, the only other person wev'e seen is Brando our cabin steward.

Its a great location if you don't mind a little walk to the MDR's and the Horizon which are located at the Bow of the ship. The self service laundry is around the corner from us ( no noise from that either).

Hope this helps!

Isn't Brano wonderful? We had him last year on the Island.

Thank you so much for a wonderful review and fantastic pictures... It makes me (and those who are not cruising for a while) happy while waiting (for quite a while) to board our next ship...

 

This review goes a long way to give us, poor uncruising souls, the necessary patience!

 

Again, thank you for a great review. Enjoy your cruise, and thank you for taking us along.

[JLC@SD]

I am using photobucket to get the 800x800 pictures. FYI it does eat up your internet minutes.

Thanks Leo.
