[yes!yes!yes!]

just saw this sign on the explorers bar. I couldn't imagine why anyone would book this. new year last year was so much fun with 3 main parties to join in with.

my favorite bar man just told me its for the separate section in explorers (old smoking area)

for those that like to know. our laundry took a day to come back. I think its low priority for free elite laundry. on other cruises it came back the same day.

 

Next day has been pretty normal for us. Last time we were in Alaska, so many elites that they advised up to 72 hours.

[yes!yes!yes!]

soup was good.

ribs were not. too sweet

[yes!yes!yes!]

these were good

Thank you for your detailed posts each day. I have enjoyed them in the past but as we have 2 upcoming Princess cruises, I am quite excited about the cruises. I just hope that all ships follow the same as Grand.
