Rare trbarton Posted January 5, 2014 Author #51 Share Posted January 5, 2014 [quote name='sally885']Thanks for your updates. Any thoughts/opinion on the library? I plan on doing lots of reading, but unsure how many of my own books to read vs theirs. Also, how cold was the water? Warm enough for a wimpy cold water person to get in? thanks.[/QUOTE] [FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="4"][COLOR="Black"]Sally885: I never used the library so I can't answer that question. Perhaps if you post that question on the board for our cruise someone may be able to answer that question. I didn't use the pools but I did test the water and it was fine, not cold.

Rare trbarton Posted January 5, 2014 Author #52 Share Posted January 5, 2014 [quote name='secretcastle']Thanks Tom! We so appreciate all your posts :) If possible, could you inquire if the Makani duo will be onboard for the April 28th cruise? Thank you! Enjoy the rest of your cruise! Julia[/QUOTE] [FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="4"][COLOR="Black"]Julia: I talked with them many times and I believe they will be on your cruise. You can contact them at [email]rozlowry@hotmail.com[/email] and they will respond. A great group and very personable. They have a great hula and ukulele classes plus a performance of both groups. Please post what you find out for others. Tom:)[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare trbarton Posted January 5, 2014 Author #53 Share Posted January 5, 2014 [FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="4"][COLOR="Black"]Thu, 01/02/14 At Sea I read before on CC about wet balcony decks. Here's what I observed this morning from deck 10, a steward on deck 9 using a plastic glass poring water over the side of the clear plastic partition underneath the railing for cleaning. I also noticed that my partition was also wet. If the deck was wet you would not notice it because of the blue matts. Fri, 01/03/14 At Sea Well our last sea day. Went to a show with executive chef Franceseco Laforiga and Maltre d' Angelo Balbini with a fun cooking demonstration followed by a tour of the Galley. Afternoon tea every day between 3:30 - 4:30. There was a farewell performance with Makani E. The farewell show in the Princess Theatre was with David Klinkenberg & Heather Sullivan. A very good group. Later their was a Princess Pop Star finale with winners from previous shows performing. I found out that the Grand will visit Ensenada last on the next cruise. Ensenada was first on our cruise so that we wouldn't be in a port on a Sunday with many shops closed. Sammi will be leaving on January 19 for part-time. I'll see if I can find the replacement name that I wrote down. Time to finish packing. Tom Sat, 01/04/14 Disembarkation Disembarkation went smoothly. Off the ship at 8:30 am, home by 9:30 am. 138 days till my next cruise to Alaska. Will post photos soon. Tom [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
