I had noticed that your cruise, like mine next month, had been listed as currently unavailable. Full, or limited capacity due to staffing? TIA. During the captain's evening announcement he said "2700 or so". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BlerkOne Posted August 30, 2022 Author #135 Share Posted August 30, 2022 "Pub lunch" will be the last sea day in one of the dining rooms. Too popular for a smaller venue. Picture posting will continue, like it or not, but likely will wait until a sea day. That is all.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andimark Posted August 30, 2022 #136 Share Posted August 30, 2022 More questions - thanks for being "in the know". Did Princess offer a shuttle from Cobh to Cork, or if the train was now running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BlerkOne Posted September 1, 2022 Author #140 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Finally a sea day. On this cruise a head waiter told me the wine packages ere discontinued a few years ago - pre-pandemic. I know a lot of people have drink packages, and wines are available for both the regular and upgraded drink packages. The MDR wine list seems to offer a variety.

When we were on the Emerald in May, many wines on their lists were not available. There was not even any Port in the dining room one night when it was clearly listed on the menu. It was a bit frustrating due to trying to stay at or under the $12.00 mark, many wines I selected were out. The list was already fairly short anyway. And then, it would be a 3-4 ounce pour at best.

Rare BlerkOne Posted September 1, 2022 Author #147 Share Posted September 1, 2022 For those who think the wine is lacking or unavailable, do what I do. Order liquor. 🤣 Other than that, we have had many glasses of pinot grigio and simply asked that they keep them coming as needed. I haven't found the bottom of that bottle, yet. I think Grey Goose is the well vodka. I've been drinking martinis which is a double pour, and not been charged anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted September 1, 2022 Author #148 Share Posted September 1, 2022 From Dublin, we did a taxi tour to Sligo on the other coast to find some family roots. Not sure if anyone is interested in those pictures, although the area is beautiful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BlerkOne Posted September 1, 2022 Author #150 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Jeepers - they already gave us luggage tags for debarking. Seems a little early, but oh well. Our passports were also returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
