That's not how casinos work. They want their customers to be happy and satisfied with their voyage, and to sail again. VIP treatment. 

Oh gee, I guess I forgot that casinos are nonprofit operations.

Thanks!

what “healthy” breakfast did y’all get in Sabatini’s?

We usually get veggie scrambles and yogurt parfaits with extra berries, or fruit plates. They will also make specialty coffees with soy or almond milk (if they have it on board).

It may have been fine last time because your room was technically booked for two, but it's not something we have ever been allowed to do.

 

Just be careful talking about it as Princess does read these board and I would hate for any crew member to get in trouble. 

My room is booked for two again.

and yes; I do need to be careful as last time on carnival, I used my real name and they stopped me at the terminal.

[KarmaCruisers]

I’m also not asking for “something for nothing”

It would have been CHEAPER for my aunt to be in the room with my uncle and I (adding a third person to this suite would have only cost an extra $300; instead it was an extra $3200 to book ANOTHER room…so definitely not asking for “something for nothing”

[KarmaCruisers]

It’s so weird; I’m not able to sleep any longer than like 7 hours!

I went just before 2300 ship time, and I’m wide awake at 0600.

i need to get up and around and cleaned up, and go put in my mile….need to see what deck the walking track is on

I’ve got my compression socks on, to see if it’ll help my legs with swelling.

Please let me know if they work. I had issues with the on the last cruise so I'm hoping to head it off next time.

So far so good..but it is only the first day 🙂

[KarmaCruisers]

We’re in open water!

as a side note; these TV’s are HUGE! And there’s basically two back to back haha

[KarmaCruisers]

Actually went to the GYM..and used the treadmills with my aunt.

and DOH! Found out I DIDNT pack my running shirt/shorts!

Luckily my uncle brought a pair of swim shorts! I wore those.

now time to get a shower and go eeeeat

Breakfast in Sabatini’s

EDIT: Again, I only ate the one yolk.

So when we get left Sabatini’s the manager asked me if Jolene was in our party, I said yes. He said he’ll get her added so she can join us in Suite dining. (He said it usually isn’t allowed because it might get too crowded..roll eyes…I’ve NEVER seen suite breakfast crowded; on the last cruise it was always us and two other couples…same here, just us and two other couples.

 

On another note, I found it princess gift cards work differently than carnival.

you have to have a balance FIRST, before the gift card can be applied; and only $5000 can be applied.

also..somehow I got on the ship without a card, haha.

Is Ivan the Sabatini's manager?  If so, he is absolutely the best I've ever worked with.  

[KarmaCruisers]

I forgot to post Shirt Of The Day

I believe that was his name; but not 200%.

[KarmaCruisers]

We’re watching the Port Talk for Trondheim now

[cr8tiv1]

I do need to clarify my acknowledgement.  He is the best I've ever had at any suite breakfast.  I didn't want to slight those I've encountered in the Reserve Collection.  I've had some real grouches in suite breakfast who would not do any more than show me to my table.

Yeah this guy was super nice..he could have just said “NO!”

but he said he didn’t want to bother us while we were eating; and just wanted to confirm she was traveling with us, so he can get her added, to have no future issues.

[KarmaCruisers]

Just been exploring the ship..

lol guest services line has NEVER went down..apparently a lot of the folks have NO idea how to use a phone app.

We just sat down to some lunch at the buffet

[KarmaCruisers]

Also; hello to whoever that was that said HI to me in the casino!

We were on the CB last month to Greenland and Iceland. Guest services was absolutely packed the first couple of days. There was a Medallion Help Desk stationed on deck 7 aft, next to the photos. Elaine (Lead Navigator) was the best! She seemed to be there every time we went by.

[KarmaCruisers]

Man; this piazza trips me out..cuz I’m used to one type (Royal class) and this little “baby” piazza throws me off..haven’t got my bearings down yet..

[KarmaCruisers]

This ship is a rockin! (So don’t come a’ knockin!)

Although we’re smack in the middle of the ocean!

[KarmaCruisers]

We stopped by Good spirits and I had my one obligatory drink of the day..

Bahama Mama

[KarmaCruisers]

It’s wild how many oil rig’s we’ve seen out here in the North Sea!

Maria was our rockstar; somehow Jolene had been double charged for Crown Grille last night. ($106 vs $53)

Maria got it sorted.
