Who or what is Fortuna Luck?

Really?  "The most annoying thing on board."  “She should be thrown overboard at night like they do with all the other garbage.”  “The biggest headache on board.”   "Horrible."  I call that vitriolic.

 

She can be your worst nightmare but...

 

I love her!  She gave me $250 on the Grand last April!

 

But that's just me.

I don't mind her so much, since it's usually at the end of intros at a sailaway, although now I'm crushed because I thought the cute Fortuna on my sailing with an actual redhead. It was almost as sad as expecting to swoon over Jan on my last sailing and seeing John instead. Perhaps the more annoying feature of Princess now is the bloated app slowed by games and gambling, which has the look of a malware-infested  2007 Android app designed by a Croatian college student.

It's not vitriolic to say you don't like a character....which is exactly what she is.  Much like the character, Velma Dinkley on the Scooby-Doo cartoons.  Honestly she just talks too much!

Exactly!  She talks and talks and talks and talks........Bingo goes on and on and on since she is the host of the Bingo.  I have quit going to Bingo mostly because of the exorbitant price they charge and Fortuna Luck stretching it out for so long!

They hire actresses, most I've spoken to are NY based.

They play both roles, Miss. Luck and the Pirate Queen on the casino.

The Pirate Queen is not normally annoying and is very attractive.

Like I said, we just ignore her and it really doesn't affect us one way or the other. I'm much more bothered by the folks yelling out, "So good! So good! So good!" whenever we have Sweet Caroline inflicted on us.

They do that EVERYWHERE!!

She is less intrusive than a couple of crew in pirate costumes trying to snag people for pictures outside the dining room. GAH! Just leave me in peace.

Unless you play Bingo....that is where she is the most annoying...otherwise she is ok in Trivia/Game Shows, etc.   We stopped playing bingo.

When did this begin?  Our last Princess cruise was 2019 and I never saw her on any of our previous  cruises.

It seems since the new guy Pagent became President.  He came from Disney so no surprise he is into "Characters".

Agree Carbill.

Suzyed, you don’t know me and until the bingo session with Fortuna only smokers who have been smoking in non-designated areas annoy me.  Speaking of, on Crown was walking with other passengers on Promenade when we stopped as saw staff confront passengers on Promenade.  Asked if everything ok, they said no passengers were flicking cigarettes over the railing.  

??  Wondering what you are referring to as far as the smoking situation?  
And BTW, I believe I may know you.  We have hung out with Margie and John and Brian P. and Reba...we may have even stayed at the same hotel in Southampton...if you are the guy I'm thinking of??

I think that was Drag Queen Bingo night.

My wife and I found her charming and engaging - you guys must be fun at parties!

She's with Natalie Costa, Cruise Director in this photo

Natalie Costa was the CD on the Diamond Princess February 2020 Japan.  A hero

Well, we've never been on the Diamond so it would appear that she changed ships post pandemic.

CDs often Change ships

I think the Pirate Queen should fill in at Bingo at least once each voyage. Call it Cut Throat Bingo. Do it all for a charity. Only issue paper cards at a cheap price so people get lots of them - that'll make it hard to keep up when the Pirate Queen starts calling numbers fast and says not-so-nasty pirate insults to those who bought too many tickets and ask her to slow down. It would be so fun!

Depends on which one you dealt with.

Fortuna Luck is on ALL the ships as far as I know....
