ginnynj Posted January 26, 2009 #27 Share Posted January 26, 2009 absolutely!!!!!! lol :D With the weather going down the tubes mid-week, cant wait to get to SJU on Friday and soak up some sun until sail away. Packing the sandals and shorts will not be half as much fun as wearing them! Couting down to sail away. See you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JustinPlusLauren Posted January 26, 2009 #30 Share Posted January 26, 2009 You guys are all so lucky! Having traveled on the CB in December prior to the renovations, I wish I could see the new features / new ship! Hope you all have a wonderful vacation... I'll be suffering in the cold here in Toronto, wishing that I could be back in the Caribbean.... ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDetailer Posted January 26, 2009 Author #32 Share Posted January 26, 2009 That really stinks that the steakhouse isn't ready. You say it is temporarily setup in Cafe Caribe? How is that affecting the seating for buffets? I know it can get crowded. I spoke to my family that is onboard with you and it turned out the OBC was only a rumor as you're aware. They spoke to someone at the desk and were told to write to customer relations once they are home. Thanks for the info, Mike. Enjoy the rest of your cruise.

PrincessCatarina Posted January 26, 2009 #35 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Flat screens are in. that's great! What about the bedding: do the mattresses, bed spreads etc. also look brand new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnynj Posted January 26, 2009 #36 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hi Mike: thanks for the update. We're bunking in the 700 real estate section of the emerald deck, do you know if the internet signal reaches back there or only central. In the frist days of wireless on the Princess ships, I used to ask the crew where the best uplink area was based on the signal upload.... THaks. Have a great time even with the work ongoing in some areas....believe me, cruising sure beats a day at work....

BayCalif-Ariz R Us Posted January 26, 2009 #38 Share Posted January 26, 2009 We're bunking in the 700 real estate section of the emerald deck, do you know if the internet signal reaches back there or only central. When wifi was installed on the Grand Princess over a year ago, they had 8 hotspots located in the halls of each passenger deck. We had an aft cabin in the 700's and the hotspot was right outside of our cabin door. Great signal. I would assume they are installing the wifi in the same manner on the other ships.

ginnynj Posted January 26, 2009 #39 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Thanks! Thats great news about signal uplink locations, now I dont even have to wander down the hall to the Piazza to get online. Have a great day. Ginnynj When wifi was installed on the Grand Princess over a year ago, they had 8 hotspots located in the halls of each passenger deck.

No DVD Players, they are puting in Flat Screen TV's that are digital capable. I think you will eventually see Video On Demand on the ships......

Sunny AZ Girl Posted January 26, 2009 #43 Share Posted January 26, 2009 It's too bad about the late embarkment and the steak house not being done yet. However, everything else sounds wonderful. Now I just have to wait until May. Please, no scuffmarks on the trim!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
