Rare HaveDogWillTravel Posted October 28, 2021 #229 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I am happy to be on board the Grand. The crew is simply stellar. Amal in vines is a hoot and extremely knowledgeable. He had already turned me on to 2 incredible new wines I hadn’t tried before. Our waiter, Valentin, in club class has been with princess for 20 years. His service is impeccable. I fell in love immediately. So far the Yalchin, our head waiter (27 years with Princess) has managed to seat us with Valentin. Tonight Yalchin has requested the Alfredo with the Parmesan baskets for us. Yummy! The food has been outstanding so far. Valentin’s suggestions have really been great. I met Ashley, the bar manager, at the international cafe and he had us laughing so hard we cried. Darren Dowler performed last night and was outstanding. He is definitely an act you want to see if you are lucky to have him on board. He came to yes/no game show and chatted with us for a while. A really nice man. Of course the yes/no game show was hilarious. I played for the first time. I only lasted 15 seconds. Gary our CD gave me a bottle of champagne because I was the best at losing. Lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare HaveDogWillTravel Posted October 28, 2021 #232 Share Posted October 28, 2021 For those of you who are missing your flowers. They can be ordered once you board. We ordered the Princess Arrangement first day and they came to the room by dinner time. idk what they cost as my friend/cabin mate paid for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, there's no many crew on board they don't know what to do with all their "spare" time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One or all of the above reasons perhaps? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HBCcruiser Posted October 28, 2021 Author #240 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) Our view today. Pool empty but not boring. A birdy told me that one of the cruises in November currently has only 150 passengers booked. Crazy. Thanksgiving and after will be better. God bless this staff and Princess. Book it people!!

I ask why. Room Service said they didn’t know, maybe my birthday (sign on door). Not from my TA. No note or card. Could it be an appeasement to divert me off the MedNet track? Not yet. I will pay one more visit to Captain Circle rep Barbara on the next segment. It was your birthday, that is why. They keep track of things like that. The Cruise Personalizer used to have a place where you could specify if your journey was for a celebration and if so what type of celebration. (If you specified an event various gifts would turn up in your stateroom). That page is gone now and replaced with a page where you can buy things.

I think it might be more than one. Only one WS is booked. Several decks have all cabins available in all the categories that I checked. I looked at 11/28 and it's EMPTY. WS is $200 less than CC mini. 7-day Coastal Wish I could grab a cabin, but DH just won't cruise right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawberrysally Posted October 28, 2021 #250 Share Posted October 28, 2021 We are going on a Princess cruise soon and just wondering do you have to wear a mask in the bars and lounges and theater if you stay with your group? Also are they allowing dancing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
