I have a usb hub which plugs into a usb port (i use it for my laptop). you just gave me the idea to bring it along! frees up the outlet for something that requires being plugged in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyt25 Posted November 15, 2021 #177 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Love following your cruise, we are joining the Enchanted on November 30th. I know the crew is not allowed off in port yet. I'd there anything we can bring to help then out (other then cash which we will have as well)? I'm thinking toiletries, snacks, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulandjoyce Posted November 16, 2021 #178 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Hi! You wrote about eating at sur la mer. Did you also eat at the crown grill? If you had to choose one, would you suggest one over the other? we are on the Dec 10th journey - there are still many rooms, so maybe the 2000 guest is for the xmas trip. Thanks. So glad you are posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macaroni Posted November 16, 2021 #179 Share Posted November 16, 2021 We liked Sur La Mer better….I had the sea bass which was fantastic…the tuna tartare appetizer was also excellent….we were underwhelmed with the steaks at the Crown and found the main dining room steaks/beef more tender… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a fantastic deal. Does anyone know how they selected this couple? Apparently they were the first couple to board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We asked our steward for paper Patters and have been receiving them each evening. Temperature on board has been cool in most venues - very chilly in Princess Live in particular. Staff exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Decor lovely all around. Lots of nice seating areas, especially around piazza - but room for dancing in the center. Amalfi and Capri dining rooms are open; Santorini not available. We reserved table for 2 at same time each night and have been at same table both nights so far. Had my favorite triangle hash browns and muesli at breakfast in the buffet (along with made to order omelets). We received a random gift of room spray, loofahs and nail files (we are Platinum not Elite). And commemorative inaugural pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boca7 Posted November 16, 2021 #185 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Does anyone who has departed from pier 2 know if passengers who need wheelchair assistance is still in the same area or at a different location as that pier was recently redone with a bridge from the parking area.

cruiseidaho Posted November 16, 2021 #186 Share Posted November 16, 2021 202 October 19, 2007 California #1 I am curious to learn about the call on Dominica. Were passengers allowed off the ship sans a Princess excursion? If so, what was the situation on the dock? Any recommendations for a Princess excursion here? Thanks for any replies _ we are on this itinerary on Nov. 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macaroni Posted November 16, 2021 #187 Share Posted November 16, 2021 In Dominica, without a Princess tour, you could get off and hang around the gated port area where there were vendors selling crafts and souvenirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renting a car and driving around the island on your own is acceptable however, walking downtown is not. I’m confuse and I do apologize in disturbing you again.

We do not board until Dec 30 but are in St Lucia on Jan 4, Barbados Jan 5, St Kitts on 6, With the fluidity of protocols changing, think I better book something. Better to have and cancel vs. not have anything. We have been to these before, some more than once, but these are some of my favorites. Being back on board for first time in 2 years is going to be good, but wanted to get off also 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Jito Posted November 17, 2021 Author #197 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Greetings! We are sailing away from curaçao on our way to Aruba. We’ve been having rain most days, and today was no exception. However, my sister and I had a great day in port. We took a cab to the Curaçao Sea Aquarium ($25 each way) and really enjoyed it. We did the Ocean Lens experience: “Can’t snorkel but you’re just aching to explore the wonders of the deep anyway? Then the Ocean Lens experience is the ultimate experience for you! Climb down 19 steps into a 17 foot (5.2 meter) deep chamber with a large window, called the Ocean Lens, through which you gaze out into the sea. Lie down on comfortable cushions and observe a magnificent abundance of colors and fish before you.” It was very cool! Tonight we finally had a big sail away party on deck! The band Static (who are fantastic!) were joined by the steel drum player and members of the Princess Band for a “Caribbean Heat” party. Lots of folks attended and it was a lot of fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
