Not from the Bordeaux MDR on deck 5! 🤣 We have 3-4 metre swells but coming from aft so at least we're not bashing head-on to them. However when the bow wave hits the peak of the swell it looks very spectacular from that level. The ship is very stable though, just a bit of movement which we're finding quite pleasant. We were rocked to sleep last night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted September 5, 2022 Author #104 Share Posted September 5, 2022 The seas have calmed down quite a bit now. Still a bit of a swell but probably about half what it was this morning. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can just see the outline of the coastal ranges but no detail. It's warming up a bit and the seas have dropped even more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted September 5, 2022 Author #107 Share Posted September 5, 2022 We've just got back from afternoon trivia with one of the most annoying trivia hosts we've ever experienced - Kelly. She had a very loud, strident voice and never stopped talking. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always saying "I know" and "you'll thank me" And "You're welcome". Didn't much like William either, seemed to treat us like little children, with his treacle-like Hellos. Thankfully gone to Sapphire Princess. By a country mile, the best entertainment staff was Joseph. Did his own trivia questions, played the piano, taught Japanese lessons etc etc etc. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last cruise on Princess was Sapphire in Northern Europe, 2018, portion sizes in MDR were always on the small size back then. Good to see you are getting fed right. Thankyou.

William was fun for the music trivia as he is so vain, its amusing to watch him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On other sections of the forum we have been discussing the cost of internet on board. Is it possible for you to make a couple of enquiries at the Internet Cafe on board? Sorry to impose.😃 Question 1 - On a live chat at Princess this afternoon, I was told it is AUD$12.99 per day with 50% discount for Elite and no difference in price between pre-purchasing or buying on board. Question 2 - Someone told me that the Wi-fi package does not include use of the ship's computers in the internet cafe. This sounds strange to me and I would love to have it cleared up. Thanks so much.❤️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
