Assuming you're thinking of virus concerns, we just plan to keep an eye on things & hope they have it isolated and under control by then.

Thank you for your quick reply - that is our plan too, just thought I would see how other ‘cruiser’s’ are feeling. I will write a review - I am so looking forward to the ship and the Mediterranean. I hope you enjoy your cruise as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we have a little concern over our cruise in 5 weeks. We will do the same precautions as normal (take Airborne & pro-biotics, bring medical-grade peroxide wipes, wash hands often), but we also plan on bringing extra medications and are still thinking things through. Looking forward to your review from your Mediterranean cruise! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckb104 Posted February 29, 2020 #159 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Are those $3 Bailey's in a souvenir glass just a Sky Princess thing or can you get those on any ship? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did your in-laws enjoy their first cruise? Believe me - two cruises this close together is not normal for us. I'm already freaking out a bit that I haven't even started packing for the next one! However a calm cruise to enjoy some time with my in-laws and a teenager-fun-Spring-Break cruise just HAD TO BE two different cruises. If we tried to make them both into one cruise it would have spelled disaster. Or, I would have needed the drink package. 😂 My in-laws loved the cruise. My MIL especially has never been on a vacation where she didn't do all the meal planning, cooking, etc. I was worried that she wouldn't relax, but I shouldn't have. She was relaxed by day 2! I'm hoping they will do this again together. 10 hours ago, ckb104 said: Are those $3 Bailey's in a souvenir glass just a Sky Princess thing or can you get those on any ship? I'm pretty sure they were offered on the Regal last year, though we didn't get one then. They aren't ship-specific, so hopefully they will be on your next cruise. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing55 Posted February 29, 2020 #167 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I think that you mentioned above that you'd like to try La Mer next time. We're no foodies, but we truly enjoyed the experience. I don't want to pump it up so you won't have high expectations, but we're not "french" food lovers but found EVERYTHING we ordered quite tasty. We'll be sailing Sky next February and we'll be dining at La Mer again. And this is coming from a steak lover (I had the sea bass... mmmmm.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MrSchwump Posted March 1, 2020 #168 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Just curious about what kind of post production work you do on your photos? What software do you use? We got back a week ago and I need to jump into the PhotoSweatShop and get things going! Very nice images! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got back a week ago and I need to jump into the PhotoSweatShop and get things going! Very nice images! iPhone photos: I either edit them right on my phone and then save them to my computer to sort OR I import them into Photoshop and bump the contrast and saturation a little, when needed. Canon photos: These all need some processing in Photoshop as they are shot in Raw+jpg All photos: I really try to take them as I want them (saves tons of time!) but some do need cropping which can be done directly on the iPhone or in Photoshop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And actually the sounds from the Piazza weren't an issue. For us, the ambiance of indoors (though not spectacular) seemed better than the outside tables. Though, the way we were seated, I was looking outdoors while my spouse was looking inwards. Maybe next Feb we'll try it outdoors. Of course, a dry run at Alfredo's may check that box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking forward to this cruise - I hope they get everything cleared up by then. Viruses die off when the number of daylight hours increase. UV light works wonders - it's why they use it to sterilize medical instruments. (Plus loads of other things.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
