I would like to send a HUGE thank you out to everyone who joined us at the meet and greet yesterday! What a wonderful group this is! We saw Alexander and Gary last evening and they commented that our group was wonderful! They enjoyed spending time with us. And the Captain 😋😋

Hi VIKIDON…..I hope to be out of COVID jail in time to make the M&G.  I have been “locked in” since Tuesday.  I’m so sad that after all of this planning I have already missed so many great ports.  

Jill

That’s sad! Do we need to come bust you out?

They are canceling Livorno port.

that's one of the things I like about the crossing 

We already told those who might want to reach us we won’t be reachable.

For those who didn’t list a room number on Jill’s amazing spreadsheets and are coming to the meet and greet and would like a postcard please let me know. I am in cabin L202. 
If you listed a cabin you should get one in your stateroom (not sure when)

We have an opening for the tour in Corsica if anyone would like to join us. I do not have the waiting list on my phone.

Breakfast in Sabatini's, best cappuccino on the ship!

This is only open for elites and club class correct?

No. When you booked there was only one package option which included 15 drinks a day at no more than $12 per drink. That is now called the Plus package. The. new Premiere package costs more and includes drinks up to $18 each. You are getting exactly what you paid for

I see the option on the website to upgrade from the plus to the premium package. Maybe check that out.

Vickie

Well...the lost have been found~ My pandora bracelet that has been lost since last fall, the neck passport holders and magnets. So we now have extras! Anyone need a neck passport holder? LOL

We got a player’s club email last night with discounted rates that included our cruise. So the ship might fill up a bit. It’s for new bookings only so we can’t take advantage of the discounts. 

I got the same. Did an unofficial count, there are just under 200 mini suites and balcony cabins open. That is a lot in my estimation. 

Vickie

I'm curious and confused. Some are saying they are expecting 1,500 on the TA portion of the cruise others are saying 2,500. Like I said just curious. If you look online there are a lot of empty cabins.

Was in an easy walk to and from the shopping district in Genoa?  We will be there on my birthday 11/19 and want ro walk around  and have a nice lunch to celebrate. 

Sounds like an amazing way to spend a birthday!

It started off a little cool this morning in Genoa, but it developed into another beautiful, sunny day.  It reached into the high 60's.

 

We spent the day walking and shopping in the old city center.  We walked from and back to the ship.  We ended up walking 10 miles today.   

Amazing! I can't wait! Curious are you allowed to take food back on the ship with you from the markets? 

Vickie

2,500 on the TA that is a lot more than someone reported a few days ago. Either way its going to be a great trip!

I was mistaken on our next Corsica date, it is Nov 20th.  Sorry...

That is the one I am on and have arranged a private tour for.

The Captain advised us tonight that our port of Corsica on Saturday (Nov 5th) is being canceled due to bad weather.

 

We will instead be in Genoa as the replacement port.  Personally, we prefer Genoa.  I don't know how or if this will affect our scheduled stop in Corsica on Nov 7th???

Oh no~ Hopefully it won't be cancelled on the TA in Corsica, that would not be good.

Any pics of the white/gold party? Are people dressing up?

Vickie

Does anyone know if you have to make reservations for the Ocean Terrace? We plan on going a time or two for sushi.

Hi! Big “ask” here, please, but 100% understand if it’s simply not something do-able!! For the November TA—there are 10 of us hoping to play pickleball. Any chance you might be able to discover how many courts they have, if they have paddles & balls, and if it’s available daily? (Or, if you’re a sleuth-er….an email address for the cruise director and we’ll inquire ourselves?) Totally get it if it’s out of your wheelhouse…we all are just a bit puzzled as to how it works on the ship.😊 Thank you for your consideration:). Gretchen

His name is Gary Golding and he has a FB page, maybe try sending him a message on there?

Thank you so much LAcruiser!  We are so looking forward to being on the Regal.  I a loving all of your great info and the Photos are just amazing!  Thanks for posting the 'Officer Board'.   I wonder how the food is onboard, and if the Head Chef will still be onboard when the ship gets back to Florida.

 

That is something to see that barrel chair.  You are in a larger cabin, right?  We will have a regular balcony unless we are upgraded, or bid.

 

I wonder if any of you onboard could give a good measurement or estimate of the little side-footstool table on the regular balcony cabins?

Have you seen any invites to bid on an upgrade? I have checked and its still saying the TA portion is not eligible for upgrade. Seems odd since there are so many empty cabins.

Okay, I'll bite.  I am just now making post #241 and I am not sure.  I recall the announcement indicating selected ship(s) at first in order to shakedown the process.  So, I am not sure who the test guests will be.

My agent told me tonight that the  ships they are starting with are Caribbean Princess, Discovery, Enchantment ,Royal and Ruby.

I've been on 2 Princess ships, the Ruby and the Regal, and I smoke cigars. I never had a problem smoking a cigar wherever smoking was allowed. Nobody, crew or passenger evr said anything to me.

On Regal is there a smoking area above the lido deck pool? Just curious, hubs is a smoker.

grouponboardservices@princesscruises.com is the address.  There is no reason to wait but it would be good to have an idea how many people may be attending.

I have updated my numbers a couple times. When we reached a certain number we were moved to a larger venue.
