There's a lot of lovely pictures from the OP's past cruises from north Atlantic ports and oddly Cozumel. But it's not a live from. I really do think it would be more helpful to have this one renamed to something more appropriate in recognition of the fact that it's really about past cruises on Princess so as not to mislead other CC'ers. And them maybe they can start a real live from when they are on the way to the actual cruise? Which of course we all love following. If you read through the thread, it is live but with some memories thrown in, and they are on the journey to the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the Queen isn't in circulation, it may be a bit smelly if she is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically it's not a live from thread as it was started two months prior to a sailing, it's more a live from their life and their memories. This is technically a REVIEW of past cruises and ships. They still aren't on the journey to the cruise if you read the thread. Live from threads have started to come about maybe a week earlier as people are traveling to their destination and cruise. I have done that myself. I will say that this is a first for me in the many years that I have been both a member and a Host on the boards where one is started so far in advance. I think this is what has confused many members. New members as well as seasoned members, may not realize that what they are seeing is not coming from a current cruise and time. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We started this thread less than a month ago as we booked the cruise at that time on post #7 . We have also made it clear to people who have become confused when we stated what area that our suite was in ( Post #6 ) on the first day . Sometimes if people come in late to a movie show ( Or on a thread like this ) , they may become confused if they miss the beginning . I'm sorry if that is the case , but have never tried to portray that we are currently on our upcoming cruise . We will fly to London to stay for a couple of days on July 9th , a week from Tuesday . Meanwhile , we have labored to walk people through the process of booking dining reservations , and shown some of the locations that we hope to visit in the future , by using photos from past cruises .

What is a "first side suite". Are you in a mini-suite or aft suite? I love the Caribbean Princess. Enjoy your cruise. I am looking forward to hearing your comments. You're welcome . We usually book aft corner suites on our other favorite cruise line for the wake show . The only full suites that we saw were the Penthouse Suites on the side . We chose Starboard as it faces the land the most . We like your locations . We went to Kauai and San Francisco for our anniversary last March . cr8tiv1 Edited June 28 by scubacruiserx2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted June 28 Author #207 Share Posted June 28 One thing that we have never done on the CB is the Ultimate Breakfast which we will try to reserve with Princess today . We also hope because it's a longer cruise that they will have a Winemaker's Dinner . The last time that we did it was on our last cruise with Princess , The Enchanted for Valentine's Day and our anniversary . The Wine Makers Dinner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted June 30 Author #211 Share Posted June 30 (edited) Because of the lack of available hotels near the airport we picked another of our favorite sites near The Royal Albert Hall , the Knaresborough Hotel . https://www.knaresboroughapartments.co.uk/location/ We first stayed there when we went to see one of my favorite 70's singers and his band live , Al Stewart . It was a 1 mile walk from the hotel and we always play his song The Dark and the rolling Sea on the first night of a cruise .
