Lucky TGO

Hi all to all my Cruise critic, friends. I’m a night person on the Royal Princess one morning I got up at 7am

and went to the adult swimming pool and took off all the towels on the lounge chairs that No one was on.

I went back to bed and went back at 11:30 am all that day people were talking about someone removing the towels. I said no kidding and couldn’t stop laughing all day. 😀

Our first cruise with Princess was in 2005 on the Diamond Princess. Buffet was very good. MDR was great. Now after 8 cruises, quality in the buffet is like going to S & S cafeteria. MDR is a hit or miss. 

I totally agree with you from the first time I cruised with Princess the food is just NOT as good as it once was that includes the crown grill.

Perhaps I’ll get an award as the 1st newly boarded passenger to book the sanctuary. The only people that might have beaten me are the ones doing a B/B. I wonder what award that I will receive from Princess that I can proudly display for the whole 15 day cruise?

Hi Tom,

If you’re really lucky you may receive for your award a bottle of that GREAT Champagne 🍾 🥂 that the boys make fresh every Tuesday in the boiler room 😳 😀 😋 Princess only gives it to the winner of all the onboard games.. Now you have to know I’m just kidding you. Have a great cruise.

You still have to wait until you are onboard. 

Hi Jo & Tom,

You forget to mention even if you are the first one on the ship and you run like your life depended on it there will still be someone there before you. 😳

Saw it on just one PCL voyage.  I am serious - it was a surprise and quite the costume for sure, even for FN.  But it's all good - they were enjoying it so NP at all.  The gentleman was formally dressed (suit and tie) on the SC nights.

Hi Gregg,

I never seen the gentleman but I like his style! 👍

In my younger days I chased Margie until I call her. Like I said it was in my YOUNGER DAYS 😀

Is Dom available by the glass on board or only by the bottle?

Hi Katmigordon,

Don’t bother purchasing Dom Perignon try your luck at trivia or one of the other games on the ship and you may win a bottle of the great champagne that the boys make every Tuesday in the boiler room on the cruise ship 😀😀😀🥂

Hi to all my Cruise Critic Friend‘s I just like to say my wife got sick a few years ago and by the time we got home all the bills came to over $10,000 so all I would just like to tell everyone is don’t go on a cruise without taking out some kind of insurance through Princess or whoever you pick

The Captain of The Rowboat,

You forgot my favorite and didn’t say you can’t order one. My friend just got off his cruise and he had two 

Volcanoes . 😋

Mediterranean.. shorts and T-Shirts are now acceptable in the dining room on Forma night.. so would expect out of UK to be similar?

You will be welcomed at this fine dining establishment in old Boston’s  

Scully Square wearing shorts and a T-shirt.😀

Sailed in the Sky out of Southampton mid August and was amazed by the number of men and boys in tuxedos,  women and girls in long dresses.   Families looked amazing and wore their formal attire very comfortably.   Well done.

I’m happy to hear that the men and boys are wearing tuxedoes on formal nights. I always will.

We had an aft-facing balcony on Royal Princess on D15 or so.  It was lovely to be able to walk up and enjoy my half a cigarette in that nice area on 17.  I felt almost 'normal' smoking in public; these days one gets weary of being treated like a monster for smoking.

Hi I like to start by saying I never had a cigarette in my life and I don’t like the smell of them.

I do agree with you about how smokers are treated. Some people go to far when it comes to smokers.

Thank you Susan,

Nickel and diamond at its best. Now I know why there’s hardly anyone eating there.

Can someone tell me what the changes at Alfredo are. I haven’t taken a cruise. Since my wife got sick.

She loved Alfredos.

The Captain of The Rowboat,

Tony

I still like this one best of all and it's free in the dining room every night it’s a Volcano 🥰😋

My friend Gregg will agree. 😋

My wife loved going because she like meeting and making new friends BTW she loved the scones 😋

Just remembered one of the most memorable drinks we had was a volcano pina colada on Hawaii (Big Island) on west coast at one of the hotels, looking out over the ocean.  This was a long time ago, but that drink not only looked great, it tasted great.

You just talked me into trying one.😋

And here we differ....I don't need the sprinkles, but almonds are a must.  But chocolate and peanut butter alone are wonderful, they do not belong together.  

Wow I can’t believe it no volcano on the menu 😡 let’s start a petition we want the volcano back on the menu. I’ll be the first to sign Tony The Captain Of The Rowboat 🥰 

BTW thanks for the best wishes Steelers36
