They might be ok! We did a 17 night transatlantic in May last year. There were only 17 teens on board due to it being a transatlantic and still most places in school. The group became super close and still stay in Touch. My daughter preferred this! More space in the teen club and they became close friends! I think there should be a decent amount over a break. We were actually surprised at how awesome the teen club was on the island! Being an older ship, it was a decent size!

Any chance you have pictures of the Daily Activities?  I'm newer to Celebrity and can't remember the name for it!

We are scheduled to board the Sky on Saturday! Would you say it’s pretty much business as usual!? We are debating canceling but today is the last day we can. The only reason I’m thinking about canceling is my daughter is terrified and stressing we will be quarantined for two weeks and she will get too far behind in school haha!

do people seem to be being extra cautious?

I’m crossing my fingers all is well because we are on the June 1st cruise! Coming from Florida and Minnesota, it would be a bummer to have it cancelled! 

Perfect! This will make packing easier ha! 

I will look into the detergent sheets! Sounds interesting!  

Thanks everyone 

We are coming from the states and don’t plan to pack a whole lot for our trip to begin with. We are curious, is there a charge to use the washing machines and dryers on board the Britannia? 

Thanks!

On the Medallion yes it did. The black Elite with the Seawitch emblem did not. My wife paid $5.00 for 2 of them.

Hi-

We have been on the CB twice and received new medallions each time. We have ordered our new medallions for our cruise on the Regal. We never used our cruise card on the CB. The medallion worked everywhere for us.

 

I went to Office Depot and purchased badge clips that work great for $2.99. See photo.

Is the blue background part blue for everyone? I saw someone post an elite black background and was curious...

Hi RMMariner,

I never forgot it in my pocket.  I kept it in their all the time even when I went into the steam room. Never had a problem.

My cousin Medallion’s battery died after 4 days on the cruise and it had to be replaced. Twice he ordered a drink and It was delivered to the wrong location.

 

Did the black background come with yours? 

Hmmm. Those were prime eligible when I ordered them. Search around because there are different prices/prime etc!

Could you send a link for the amazon product?  Thanks.

Replacement Wrist Band Accessory... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HCHE6DK?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

these are the ones I ordered! Not a perfect fit but it holds the medallion and they aren’t going anywhere 🙂 

Thanks everyone 🙂 

Is the actual medallion waterproof? We ordered the wristbands that someone mentioned from amazon! We are used to Disney wristbands that are waterproof and just wanted to check before we ruined them haha! 

I think you will get it in time! Like the previous person said, we got the email Monday and had them buy Thursday! It was very quick! 

Oh! I like the badge holder idea!

Is the soda and more package the same price on board as it is to pre purchase it?

The only thing I wish was that it was all one app.  It is kind of annoying to have several different apps. 

Names were always on the door before as well weren’t they? Although I guess you could remove the paper if you didn’t want it on display. I always like looking at people’s status when I walk by but never Pay attention to names!

Thank you so much for your live report so far! We are going on the Regal in a few weeks and I’m super excited to try out the OM!! I’m like you, love technology! Plus, my daughter used it to her advantage and talked me into letting her check herself out of the kids club because she will be able to find me haha! 🙂 

If you have the soda package, are you able to use the app to order a soda and them Bring it to you? Wasn’t sure if it’s all linked?

When is your cruise? It seems like they are all set to arrive 2 weeks before. We sail March 17 and the app says they will be delivered around March 2. Does the app say when yours should be delivered?

I am beyond frustrated with the Ocean Ready app; I've deleted and downloaded an updated app over the last couple of weeks, but nothing is working. I can't hit the "add reservation" button after I enter my information. (Well, I tap it, and other ever happens.) And, when I try to bypass that, and enter my personal information instead, the keyboard pops up on my phone and won't go away, event when I hit enter. This blocks other fields to complete and I can't continue.

 

Has anyone else had this same issue? Is it an apple issue? 

 

Thanks in advance. We are sailing in March. Really frustrated that I'm getting notifications from Princess to complete Ocean Ready when it's clearly still not ready for prime time.

 

We sail March 17 and have completed everything with no problems. It sounds like your app. Try deleting the app and downloading it again. Good luck!!

I am loving your review so far! I have been on the Regal a few times but it is getting me excited for my cruise in 4 weeks! What did you use to take your pictures? Also, the artist in the atrium must have hopped off and gone to Disney world because we just saw him yesterday at Epcot’s Art Festival!! 

Thank you everyone! I appreciate your input! Hopefully we don't stand out too much as half of us are Americans haha!

I have started looking at shore excursions and we might be a bit late for the ones we are eyeing :(

Thanks again!

We are pretty frequent cruisers (mostly Princess) but just booked a cruise with P&O to Norway while we are visiting England! We are excited, but some of my family has a few random questions! I have found most on the website, but can't seem to find the following.

1. Are any other drinks besides water offered at dinner free of charge?

2. How much is the ice cream (having to pay is going to be a huge adjustment for us haha!)

I think that is it for now. I'll gladly take any other tips or hints! :)

We cruise on Princess every year for Spring Break. The last few years have been on the Royal/Regal. My daughter is 10 and has been cruising since she was 9 months old with the majority being on Princess. I have sailed Royal Caribbean in the past, but have yet to take my daughter on it. I am actually waiting until she is a bit older, maybe 12ish so she would actually enjoy the activities RC has to offer.

Spring break will definitely have more kids than normal. In fact 2 year ago we had to go line up early and sometimes the club was filled to capacity (not pelicans for younger kids it was shockwaves).

My daughter has always LOVED the kids club on Princess, but she likes structured activities. We went on Disney when she was 4 and she hated the kids club because it wasn’t structured (granted, we went two summers ago on Disney and she loves it now haha). My point being, I feel at your children’s age you will find the kids club on Princess to be great!

I actually feel the royal class ships are the most accommodating to families out of all the Princess ships. I also feel like the majority of crew on Princess are very accommodating to children and make them feel special. If you have any other particular questions please feel free to ask :)

I sent an email with a list of disappointments including happy hour and not being able to use my punch card for gelato and crepes. I received a voicemail confirming all my disappointments are correct and that they hope I enjoy my cruise in 3 weeks...
