New grandma Posted January 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2014 It is finally here. We got to the ship around 1030. Embarkation was slowed because the computers were down. Got in line around 1030 but didn't get onto the ship until almost noon. Ship looks great. The room is comfortable but we have it set as cold as it can go and the blinds drawn. Other parts of the ship are freezing. So far, so good. Looking forward to a great vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbird81 Posted January 11, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Say hi to the old girl for us! Been two weeks now since we left her...miss the Crown! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two4me Posted January 11, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Just an f.y.i. relatives just off the crown and had problems with the air. Mentioned to front desk a few days into cruise. No one came. By the end of trip the room was very uncomfortable. I did read on cruise critic that some else mentioned about the air conditioning problem.... maybe they got the same room as the relatives.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eandj Posted January 11, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Wondering if the A/C problems are the same in all the rooms/floors. Anyone know? DH would be happy as he likes things warmer than I do. Me...not so much. :( I'm getting worried. And if people are leaving their patio doors open for air with the unit on, things really get messed up. Hope it doesn't upset your experience.

New grandma Posted January 12, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted January 12, 2014 So far everything has been fine. It did take some time to get the luggage. Came around 5:00. The sail away was fun. Weather is great. We watched some football at movies under the stars. Saw the welcome aboard show time at the Princess Lounge. Comedian, Al Katz was pretty funny. The band by the pool is the Score. They were also supposed to play at 8:45 for the welcome aboard dance party but it was cancelled. No issues with the toilets. Room is not cold but not uncomfortable either. More later.

New grandma Posted January 12, 2014 Author #17 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Princess knows how to do a BBQ. The chicken is great. There is something for everyone. Our day is gorgeous. The restrooms are kept clean. They have ice machines and water and iced tea. And of course bars for liquor. Many waiters and waitresses coming around. The clamshell is nice to get out of the sun. Gorgeous breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New grandma Posted January 13, 2014 Author #20 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Saw a good show tonight, Spotlight Showtime with a piano entertainer, Tom Franek. Before the show there was a duo (piano player and singed) called Cinnamoon playing dance music. Many couples dancing. The music on the island today was island music by the Score. Things are great. Fantastic cruise so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New grandma Posted January 13, 2014 Author #21 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Our first sea day. Can't beat this. Fabulous sunrise. Calm seas light breeze. Went to Vines again last night. Agree Franklin is great. The different tapas each night are very tasty recommend a visit California rolls are pretty good also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
