I read somewhere she wasn't returning to Pier 27 until noon tomorrow 3-20-19.

 

 I saw that too,. But if she was passing Sacramento when the poster took  that picture  I would think she’d get to San Francisco before noon tomorrow, wouldn’t she?

That photo was taken in Washington as she traveled down the Columbia. But you are right. as of 0800 this morning she is backed into pier 27.

We do have a deep water channel that she would fit in, but unless her stores will hold 50,000 tons of rice I cant imagine the Grand ever coming up the Sacramento deep water channel. 😁

Yes. But it looks like it has an updated menu as well. You can find the menu here: https://www.princess.com/ships-and-experience/ships/products/dining-included/salty-dog-grill.html

No polish dogs?? Bummer. Not the end of the world.

Am on board. Asked for a barrel chair and was told no problem. They could provide it! Remodel looks great. Lunch in the dining room with the beef filets. Excellrnt. Not the new menu

It is the same equipment but a slightly different menu as stated.

They are not really cooking anything different that would require other equipment.

Have a great trip. Share more when you can.

What’s the beer menu like?  Hope if they have the new improved beer list. 

[RMMariner]

On this cruise right now. Ship looks really good. Food was great the first day, and it is our first time with the new beds. Best night's sleep I have ever had on a Princess ship.

 

We are in a Caribe balcony. No barrel chair, and I do not want one, but they said they could get one if I wanted.

I hope that means that all the junk mail is history as well.

There are no longer pictures on the wall. Tv is now where picture used to be. Old place where tv empty. They need to do something with that space. 

 

 O elite bar set up yet probably due to last minute upgrade. Room steward not great so far. Have to ask twice for everyvthing

Nope. It gets slid under the door or thrown on the bed.

I heard the TVs are now set up for on demand but they weren't sure when it would be up and running.  Any luck with on demand?

[chillzen]

So far no tv on demand. The internet still is as slow as molasses. Our patter has been left on the bed along with any specials for the spa.
