LIVE - Royal Princess Sep 23 (2 Day Coastal...and more)

[ceilidh1]

Such a great day on the ship! We have met so many new people and the staff seem overly attentive (in a good way). Great dinner at crown grill, great times at Good Spirits, missed the comedian, didn’t love the magician…

Good morning from the Pacific Ocean. I guess my body clock is still on the central time zone because I have been up since 5:30 ships time!

 

Lots of rain and wind out, I’ll take a photo when the sun comes up. I have a feeling most people will be staying indoors today

I went to the early show of the comedian (Miguel Washington) and thought he was really funny. You should try to make it to one of his shows tonight. It was a good routine and I would’ve gone to his second show if I wasn’t so tired from all the traveling and time zone changes!

Good Morning! I had a great night sleep in the Princess bed. Room location is very quiet. I’m all the way aft so feeling a little movement but it just rocked me right to sleep!

 

We had lots of photos taken last night (making use of the premiere package) but they haven’t yet shown up in the app so will stop by the photo gallery later. Another thing that doesn’t appear to be functional is princess prizes - usually it says it’s closed/not available on the door screen but there’s no mention of it at all. Has it been discontinued?

 

Plans today are to shop and spend my OBC, get an obscene dessert, try ocean terrace, go to the comedy show, go to the 80s party, sabatinis…are there enough hours in the day?

Unless you are in International waters the casino would not be open so prizes would not be available

I used the door hanger to order breakfast for 8:30-9. It just showed up at 7:55! Luckily I was up and just out of the shower. Five minutes earlier and the poor guy might have got an eyeful…

Casino was open. Usually if it’s not there is still a notice on the door screen saying it’s not available. There was no mention of it yesterday!

[ceilidh1]

This is new! Not really sure what it is- anyone?

This has been around on our last few cruises. Each bartender creates a special drink and it is a competition. They are usually very fancy.  If you have a plus package you get charged $5

[ceilidh1]

It’s pretty stormy out there!

[ceilidh1]

No specialty coffee in the buffet right now. Under maintenance apparently!

Your download doesn’t work for me, but my SIL said she heard on the news a “storm” is coming. It’s a beautiful, partly sunny and calm day here (Coquitlam) so far. If you’re feeling it, I guess the island will get the brunt of it.

Wow! Amazing food but so much!

Well I just found out via guest services that the Seattle port concierge luggage service is not being offered for our Tuesday debarkation, even though our shuttle driver to the ship yesterday told us that it was. I have an evening flight and I’m not sure what I am going to do with my suitcase now. All of the few luggage storage places operating near Pike Place Market are closed on Tuesday as well. 
 

I saw online that Nordstrom’s in downtown will check and secure luggage for free but that was in 2017 and I can’t find any verification for if this service is still being offered. Does anyone know if they still offer that service or have any tips for this predicament?

I went to the shops to use up my OBC. Bought a couple of mini Stanley’s that we don’t have and will grab some duty free later. The store has no bags so you have to just carry your purchases around with you. I could have just walked out of the store without paying if I weren’t an honest person 🤣

 

My friend is feeling very seasick with all the rocking and rolling the ship is doing. She just went to lie down. I did the honourable thing and finished her sushi! I’m not sure she will want to cruise again…😭

that Unicorn Stanley may have to come home with me. 

They have candied ginger on the buffet line during lunch. Your friend may find that helpful for the stomach.

Big line for gelato but I can’t leave without trying an obscene dessert. 

[ceilidh1]

It took half an hour, but here it is! I went with The Donatello. Was it worth the wait? Not really. I went with this one as it said it had key lime (I LOVE key lime). Well, not a hint of lime in it…

 

I find it odd that you can get a $12 mammoth dessert with the package but not a $1.50 scoop of gelato..,

We eat at Ocean Terrace a lot, such delicious food!!! 

 

Nice to see they have placemats now, so people can't just park themselves without ordering a meal.

Did they substitute a lemon bar for the key lime bar?
