fireval911 Posted May 27, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Anything specific you are looking for? I have all the Patters from the May 13 - 25th British Isles cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunsetbeachgal Posted May 27, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Anything specific you are looking for? I have all the Patters from the May 13 - 25th British Isles cruise. Who is cruise director? We got a precruise email but it did not say who it was. What are the production shows and is there any other bigger entertainment such as Beatlemaniacs? Is Nick Nash the captain? Thank you!

sunsetbeachgal Posted May 27, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Thx so very much!! Now our sailing just needs luck of the Irish like yours did to make it to Guernsey!! So far this season the Royal is 1 for 3! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flo71 Posted May 27, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Thank you, looks good, was hoping for a magic act for hubby but we'll be happy anyway. The singer Darren Day was on the last time we did th eBritish Isles a few years ago, I did wonder if we might have any 'names' this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickmald Posted May 27, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Anything specific you are looking for? I have all the Patters from the May 13 - 25th British Isles cruise. Any chance you can scan/take a pic of one port day patter and one sea day patter? Just hoping to get a sense of how much is going on at any given time on board. (Dedicated HAL cruiser making the move to Princess, and travelling with 3 generations to occupy) Thanks so much for considering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonship Posted June 19, 2018 #13 Share Posted June 19, 2018 We were on the May25-June 6 sailing and there was a magician show, but we didn't go. Sorry, didn't save the Patters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireval911 Posted June 19, 2018 #14 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Hello Fireval911, Thank you for responding to our questions. Which ports had formal nights on your cruise? I hope you enjoyed your cruise. Formal Nights: Guernsey and First Sea Day Dress to Impress: Second Sea Day It was a wonderful cruise. My first Princess Cruise and I will definitely be back!! Sorry I haven't taken the time to scan the patters yet. ~Val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunsetbeachgal Posted June 20, 2018 #16 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) I was also on this cruise, and a group called The Modern Gentleman performed two nights in the Princess Theater (they did a second night after the ship had to skip a stop in Invergordon). We enjoyed them very much as did the audience. Nick Nash was our Captain.

MamaStite Posted June 20, 2018 #17 Share Posted June 20, 2018 1. I would love to know if there is an Escape room on the Royal BI this summer (2 teenage boys with me). 2. Is there a drink special of the day (since they have killed BOGO). 3. What is dress to impress? Formal but more skin or more sequins??? 4. Do you get numbers the night before to get off the ship at a port and have to hang in a lounge and wait to be called? (conflicting and confusing info out there) 5. What night was the Crab Shack? Was it offered more than once? 6. I just would love to see a day of the Patter to see a typical day and what activities are offered. I have never cruised with Princess and I just hate not knowing. Thanks! Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishdancer Posted June 20, 2018 #19 Share Posted June 20, 2018 1. There was an Escape room. Someone we met told us they had signed up for it on the first day, but I don't know how - I'm looking at the Patter from embarkation day and I don't see sign ups for it mentioned. Maybe during the 11:15am-3:30pm "Entertainment Discovery" in the Piazza? I don't know what that means because we weren't on the ship then. 2. I think there was at least a drink special in the dining room, like one of the after dinner drinks was $3 or $4. 3. I was on the May 13 cruise and I didn't realize we had a "dress to impress" night the night before LeHavre except I see the Patter says it was - and I don't think I noticed people dressed up that night. My patter doesn't have a dress code like it does for the formal nights, but that might be because my patter is the disembarking-in-LeHavre version that provides disembarkation info. 4. You get the tickets the morning you arrive at the port, at the door of the dining room, and then wait in the dining room for your number to be called. The tickets are for the two tender ports and for the ports where the cruise line provided a free shuttle, but I don't know what the process is if the shuttle needs to be purchased (for LeHavre at least they said it needed to be purchased at the latest the night before arrival). If you're not taking a shuttle at the docked ports (for instance, Dublin) then you don't need to get a ticket to get off. 5. I see Crab Shack in the Patter only on the day we were at Cobh/Cork. 6. Hopefully the Patter from the first sea day is attached here. Patter.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted June 20, 2018 #20 Share Posted June 20, 2018 1. I would love to know if there is an Escape room on the Royal BI this summer (2 teenage boys with me). They did last Nov/Dec. It was held on a port day because they said there would be to many people to deal with on a sea day. 2. Is there a drink special of the day (since they have killed BOGO). No drink of the day. That's gone with the BOGO for $1. 3. What is dress to impress? Formal but more skin or more sequins??? The only time I experienced it was on a 4 day cruise & maybe half the people dressed for formal night, the rest were casual. No one really seemed to care. 4. Do you get numbers the night before to get off the ship at a port and have to hang in a lounge and wait to be called? (conflicting and confusing info out there) 5. What night was the Crab Shack? Was it offered more than once? 6. I just would love to see a day of the Patter to see a typical day and what activities are offered. I have never cruised with Princess and I just hate not knowing.

As we only have shore excursions booked out of Cobh, Belfast, and Invergordon, it looks like we should be ok. I guess I will swing by Guest Relations on embarkation to check on Escape room and book Crab Shack! You are awesome.....Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
