Rare bnickle Posted June 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) Fresh off the boat...literally. I actually have a trip report on our fabulous sailing of the British Isles itinerary here (and about to finish it up) but thought people would enjoy reading the Patters and miscellaneous other bits of info that were rained down upon our cabin. Heads up: Princess will drown you in paper. Anyhoo, for the few, the faithful, the curious, and anyone remotely interested, here are links to the Patters, arranged chronologically. Please note that our stop in Invergordon was canceled; I have included the revised Patters for that day and evening. Princess Patters for the Royal Princess sailing of the British Isles, Embarking Wednesday, June 6, 2018.

You are so talented with expressing the feeling of actually being there and your written words are serious to hilarious. Keep writing and cruising. I look forward to reading more.

I.T.Geek Posted June 21, 2018 #14 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Let me add my appreciation as well! We are sailing this same cruise at the end of August and can only hope we have the same great weather you did. Regardless, it is time AWAY FROM WORK so how bad could it be? :-) GREAT job scanning the patters...and thanks for helping me spend my day more productively. ;-) Dyrek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many. Emails.” But seriously...there’s a lot I can overlook, or not even really notice on a trip because I’m so happy to be on vaycay. For example, a common complaint on these threads is that, whatever the cruise company, the coffee sucks. All I could think when I was drinking my coffee each morning was, “I’m on a cruise with my husband and daughter, sailing around beautiful and enchanting lands...this is the best coffee I’ve ever had.” Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan Posted June 21, 2018 #17 Share Posted June 21, 2018 If you booked any ship excursions, did you have to prepay, or could you book and then pay on the ship? I have a lot of OBC for our next April cruise I’d like to use to offset some of the shire ex cost. The private tours you did look good, but I don’t want to wind up shopping onboard to use the money.

Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted June 21, 2018 #18 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Thank you! I don’t like to spoil the surprise of what’s in the Patters, but I did have to sneak a peek of a few things. [emoji5] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can take a chance and attempt to book onboard for your excursions, but there’s no guarantee that they won’t sell out before the cruise. We only booked with off-ship companies. Three of the tours we went on were arranged by other people and we joined in; one of our tours was private and one was on a bus. I get wanting to use up your OBC for it. If you book a Princess tour before you sail I believe you have to pay for it upfront. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji5] Sent from my iPhone using Forums In my planning beforehand I could only find patters from two years ago so I’m hoping posting ours helps others. It didn’t make or break the planning experience for me but it would have been nice to know of new and recent offerings, like the Escape Room. And sneak all the peeks you want!

apenglishthompson Posted June 21, 2018 #22 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Thank you! I'm mostly going to let myself be surprised, but I did peek in to see if I could figure out a couple of things...which I could not, so maybe you remember: 1) which dining room was open for lunch on embarkation day? 2) which dining room was club class dining in? We'll be on this cruise next month and I'm so excited! Why do the days before a cruise go so slow and the days ON the cruise go by so fast?! :loudcry: THANKS AGAIN! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do the days before a cruise go so slow and the days ON the cruise go by so fast?! :loudcry: THANKS AGAIN! :D Let’s see...as I recall, the Symphony was the restaurant for Club Class dining. It was also Anytime dining, and there was a separate entrance for Club Class. On Embarkation Day, the Allegro was open for lunch, as was Alfredo’s. Both are full service sit down,but Alfredo’s has pizza and pasta, and great sangria. As for time crawling before and zipping during...I have no clue because it really zipped by for us.
