Thanks for checking. When Geoherb asked last week they thought it would drop off to 1400 so they must have had an uptick inlast minute bookings. Still it’s a lot less passengers than the 3300 we had on the Majestic last August so it will seem empty to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted February 18, 2022 #127 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Can someone ask if they have an approximate head of the 2/26 sailing? I’m hoping it’s still low numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare dickinson Posted February 18, 2022 Author #129 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Just finished lunch in Horizon Court. This was the first time I ever saw a Pastry Extravaganza. It is at one end of the buffet. The pastry shop was closed. I will see if I can upload pictures. Not sure how to do it. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dickinson Posted February 18, 2022 Author #130 Share Posted February 18, 2022 It worked except I didn’t know how to edit the duplicates. My dh piece of carrot cake was huge. Mine was smaller but still huge. Lots of different cakes, pies, mousse etc. for those on next weeks cruise …. Have no fear. They will do it again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floridababa Posted February 18, 2022 #133 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Can you possibly find out on the TA when we get to Rome how do we get tested to fly back to the US? I have asked in several forums but no luck getting an answer. Thank you so so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

February 26 will be about 1200. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have asked in several forums but no luck getting an answer. Thank you so so much Yes, I would like to know too. I am on your Regal TA cruise, but for 7 days longer. My 28-day TA will end in Athens. I will stay one night and fly back to the U.S. the next day. It will be nice if Princess offers free testing at the Athens terminal so we can test. Since we are flying out the next day, it will still meet the 1-day test requirement to enter the U.S. If Princess only offers the test on the ship the day before disembarkation, then it will not work for us. Currently, Princess offers free tests at the disembarkation terminal for cruises ending in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That carrot cake looks amazing! It was listed in the patters and was called Pastry Extravaganza. Horizon Court. We got our dessert, put it on a table, then went back and got our lunch. The carrot cake was delicious but I am not so sure it was cream cheese frosting. The carrot cake served during the week was not so good. They used to have really good carrot cake but no more. The frosting was weird. One night in the dining room it was listed for dessert. It was just a bigger piece of what you could get at the International Cafe or in the pastry shop in Horizon Court. This week I will pass on it and just wait for Friday's pastry extravaganza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare dickinson Posted February 19, 2022 Author #145 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Just want to say that today I asked at Passenger Services if there was a free shuttle to Pier 2. She said yes and that it ran all day. I found that hard to believe. We took it around 10:00 am to pier 2. The driver said no he did not run all day but gave me his card to call him. When we got back to Pier 2 I called but got his voice mail so we asked someone about walking to pier 21. It took us about 45 minutes to walk . It was hot out but we had no luggage. Just tote bags and a purse. It was exhausting because of the heat. When we got to the ship we had lunch and then went to our new cabin, Medallions didn't work. Had to go back to Passenger Services. In our new room one lamp shade was crooked. Dh tried to fix but instead seemed to break the lamp! Someone immediately came up and replaced it. It also killed the circuit for other lights in the room. Not a good beginning to the second cruise but I am sure it will all go well. If anyone has any questions don't hesitate to bring this thread back up and I will do my best. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare azbirdmom Posted February 19, 2022 #146 Share Posted February 19, 2022 MedallionNet was a mess when we boarded and even the waitstaff was having trouble pulling up our accounts when we ordered a drink. It seems fine now. I have to say that the Ocean Navigators have been most helpful. My husband showed as offship and they had to get a supervisor to fix that one. Off to dinner in a few. Great to be back on a Princess ship again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
