Not seen them on Princess, just the awful coffee in the machines, mdr is no different. Princess coffee is infamous. Coffee from international cafe is-o k. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works a treat - you can get four tea cup size cups of coffee from the hot water thermos at breakfast. Our first taste of buffet coffee was in Horror Zone Court on Sun Princess soon after she arrived in 2007. It was just, just, it was just plain horrible. They got better the longer the ship was here, and I think they ditched the American syrup they were using. We had packed a few of those cappuccino sachets on advice of some more experienced cruisers, and glad we did. Funny though, the Marquis dining room still managed a drinkable coffee from the same ingredients. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted June 9, 2022 #354 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I think the drink menu stuff is mentioned earlier. We are thinking of doing an upgrade from plus to premium package, and before I annoy our T/A, it would be nice to see what drinks I can get via either package, particularly in Crooners.

I’ve added this to my list. I have all the questions so far listed in my onenote site with names of who asked them. If I get chance before we fly out Monday I’ll try and put them in a proper list (even try spreadsheet) and add answers. But we!ll see how I go. I prob should start a “live” from coral 16 June and put it all in there. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some cabin outlets we have experienced had no room above the desk or next to a corner in the wall to handle even an odd shaped phone charger. We had another where a Euro socket was deeper than the adapter pins, so when the USB unit was pushed hard against the wall, the pins weren't protruding far enough to plug in properly. We have also experienced this problem with some outlets not having enough room above the desk to be able to plug the lead in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be used by one person or shared between a number of people. It’s a digital notebook that you can have lots of tabs for different categories or information. I use OneNote for info shared with my kids for our NZ cruise info and ideas. Also use it for school for Curriculum/Unit Planning information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare arxcards Posted June 9, 2022 #364 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Regarding USB's, one hope these are becoming more universal as the U in USB refers to. Pacific Explorer had a wallplate with 4 USB outlets above the desk. That would be easy to check if Coral has had a similar upgrade. For so many of us, this negates the need for a power board, or even adapters for charging phones and pads. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can go on Cbtours list, but as it is Princess I don’t hold out much hope - have fingers firmly crossed for the USB on the lamp by the bed 🤞 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
