I have been keeping this a secret until I got to my room, BUT remember how I booked the cheapest inside guarantee? I did end up with an inside…but this is an inside on steroids! It’s an accessible room that is more like a mini suite, complete with sofa and HUGE! Definitely shenanigan space! (More on that later)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ohhh, what's the room number (if you're comfortable sharing eventually)? I'm on this ship next year and my friend has booked an interior. I'm hoping maybe she's lucky and this is her cabin 😄

I broke with tradition today and went to the buffet for breakfast…I instantly regretted it. I don’t love any of the lukewarm food on my plate!

[ceilidh1]

I have lots to fit in today…pub lunch, afternoon tea, Alfredo’s…

And the lunch, which was excellent!

 

Hi Ceilidhi, I just signed-on to Cruise Critic and this is my first post. I have been following this Live thread on Princess and would like to write one for our next cruise. I have enjoyed it, but have a few questions to clear-up a few things.

1. You started writing a week+ ahead of getting on the ship. You had several pages and 100+ posts before getting on the ship. I thought Live was when you are actually on the ship. Is that still considered Live?

2.  How did you score a tour of a HAL ship and lunch? Not sure why it is on the Princess Live thread?

Thank you.

Everyone has their own styles of writing and posting their lives. You can start whenever you wish…

 Still wondering how to get a free lunch and tour ?

@ceilidh1 whenever you have time, could you please post a clear shot of the dining room page of The Patter? Any of them …just trying to see if the list that I’ve compiled for the Sapphire for DR is correct & where reserve collection is.

The ones that I’ve seen they are blurry. First two pages of the morning events and the night events I can read perfect. If you are not able ,not a problem.

Once upon a time, Sapphire and Diamond had unique menus in each of the four midship dining rooms

Oh! I remember that!

Are you using the “no days wasted”? How did that work last cruise when you talked about it?

It's so funny, my wife and I used to do almost only buffet for all meals.  Then after the pandemic when we resumed crusing, we just for whatever reason started going to the sit down for all meals.  And loved it. 

 

Our last cruise, we went to the buffet for breakfast once due to excursions and just hated it.
