Hi everyone! Married couple here cruising out of Baltimore December 21st on the Grandeur of the Seas.

Hoping to meet and make some friends over drinks while aboard the ship!

Cheers :)

Yeah, I'm not sure what tour they're all talking or asking about...

I think what we just decided to do in Cartagena was to take an Uber to El Centro and meander or find a self-guided walking tour we can follow.

I've been trying to find information about any itinerary changes for our cruise but haven't seen anything. Have you heard otherwise?

So I read somewhere that HMC wasn't damaged at all, so it would seem we're still good!

Hi edwinb_dc,

 

My girlfriend and I will be joining!

Yay!! So excited, only 14 days away! We definitely have to meet up for a drink or something at some point.

We had only booked anything for HMC, but now with Hurricane Matthew...that's not looking like it's going to happen anymore.

Sitting here like...

DH and I are excited to be on this sailing along with my in-laws (who are also celebrating an anniversary).

Any other 'family' joining us to see the Panama Canal?

Hey everyone! Husband and I are from Washington, DC.

Have done a couple of Carnival cruises, one Princess cruise (which was amazing) and am currently counting down to the Carnival Liberty leaving Oct. 4 out of San Juan!!

Curious to see if anybody else will be joining my partner and me on the Liberty! Would be nice to have some people actually go to FOD meetings.

Say hi! :)

Have you thought about the ultimate balcony dining package instead of a specialty restaurant? That's what we're going to do for our honeymoon.

We have actually! Our balcony room was just upgraded, too, so it'd be a shame not to take advantage of that.

At this point, it may be between the balcony dining package or the Chef's Table.

I've never seen any free wine promo at Sabatini's and the Crown Grill on any night.

 

The first night is when the full suite passengers can enjoy their free specialty dining.

 

The second night is often formal night in the MDR. Princess specialty restaurants do not require Formal dress, and as a result gets bookings from those looking for a Formal night alternative.

Thanks for the reply!

Interesting that you mention the second night because that's the night of our anniversary. We were considering one of the specialty place for that, but we'll see now if people use them to get out of dressing up...

I have booked this Western Caribbean cruise and will be traveling alone.

Are there any other guys or gals who are planning to be on this cruise?

I cruise a few times a year and this will be the first time to cruise as a single cruiser.

 

Hopefully there will be a few of us for the FOD (I think Princess calls them GLBT get togethers) I try to attend them all. See ya on board!

Hey Steve,

My husband and I will be on the same cruise as you! Our first time cruising with Princess :)

So my partner and I are booked on the CB leaving from Port Everglades in two weeks.

Our last cruise was a few weeks ago on the Carnival Freedom, and during that trip we were able to take advantage of a special 1st (and 2nd) night promo that included a bottle of wine when you dined at the Sun King Steakhouse.

We thought this was awesome and were wondering if Princess ever did anything like this on their lines, specifically the Carribean Princess's Crown Grill or Sabatini's.

Thanks!
