Any good restaurants near the Eye ? British food, or American ?

Any suggestions ? Starbucks nearby ? We're staying at the Park Plaza County Hall hotel.

Thanks in advance :)

Just received my Bayless by Overland that I ordered on ebags. Love it !

Can be a crossover bag or worn like a fanny pack. Compact and stylish. Comes in several colors. Paid $34. If you go on Overlands website there are even more colors but you'll pay more. Lots of zippered pockets. Holds a lot for its size !!

Happy KS

Thanks for the search info. And I totally agree with you about formal night !

We have been cruising since 1976 and while I enjoyed dressing up back then I'm more about comfort. That's what retirement is all about...right :D !!

We will be dining, hopefully, in the specialty restaurants on both formal nights.

First of all, what's happened with the search function on CC ?

Haven't sailed with Princess in a while. What's the best way to secure reservations for the Crown Grill ?

Also, on the Ruby, which dining room do they use for anytime dining ?

Thanks in advance !:)

Has anyone done the Seine River excursion in Paris ? If so what did you think ? Did you have good views of the city ? Could you go outside or was it all enclosed ? How was the lunch, if you had that tour ?

Is the Pub Lunch on the Ruby ?

Does anyone know where the Princess shuttle drops you off in Dublin ?

And how often do they run ?

Thanks :)

We have signed up for 1/2 day tour to Blarney Castle. We don't plan to kiss the Blarney Stone just want to see the gardens and shop. Our tour does go to the Woolen Mills at the end but wanted to spend more time there while everyone else was in the castle. Can you walk to the Woolen Mills from the castle ?

Has anyone booked their air through Princess ? They're quoting us $1200 pp. better than I found on Expedia. We always spend a few days pre cruise but might have to fly in the day of the cruise this time. Hoping someone could shed some light on their experience of going with Princess' air dept.

Good luck with your excursion !

I've decided to stay on the ship when we're in Belize.

Taking a catamaran ride in Roatan...don't think the creatures swim :rolleyes:

Thanks for the support !

Thanks for your reply.

In previous forums people would make jokes about this.

But phobias are anything but funny. I love to cruise and mostly in the Caribbean, so I just have to deal with it or stay on the ship.

Thanks again !

Is it possible to get off the ship in Belize and not encounter an Iguana ?

I know everyone loves them, but I am so scared of them. I hate to not get off the ship, but may not have a choice.:eek:

Would love to know this too. We are cruising March 2 ! :)

What is bingo like on the Royal ? Do they use those electronic cards ? I hope not.

How much to play ? I used to enjoy playing on Disney & RCCL but they now use the electronic cards. Really takes the fun out of it ! Plus it's gotten ridiculously expensive ! Hope it's more reasonable on Princess.

We have booked a mini suite on the Lido Deck /Royal Princess.

Anyone else ? Just wondering about the size of the balcony,

Whether there were elevator issues. We're sure won't be walking up to our cabin from dinner. Also any motion issues being so high up ?

Thanks in advance !

Do they have noodles or other floaties you can use ?

Sounds like fun ! Did you see any iguanas at the beach ? I know they're harmless but they freak me out !

We have used Rome in Limo several times and I can highly recommend them ! Always on time, courteous, friendly and will give you a personalized tour. They will offer certain tours but will also, always consider your preferences ! :)

This is why we keep coming back to them !:D

In fact, I recently booked them for our May 31, 2014 cruise on the Disney Magic. Pleased to say , we will have their services in La Spezia, Civitavecchia and Naples ! :)

This link shows which ship has already had a nursery added and when the others are scheduled.

Thanks :)

My son & dil will only sail on Disney because of the nursery. I was trying to convince them to try RCI since they added the nursery.

Which ships are they on and what does everyone think of them ?

Who's playing on the Oasis ? Hope they're good ! Leaving next Sat !!:D

Anything else included besides drinks ? I see its $35/ pp. any food ?

At that late hour, not sure I'd want more than 1 drink. It does sound like a lot of fun ! Not sure i could get my husband to dress up. Wonder what he could wear to feel the part, but without going out and buying a zoot suit !! Lol :):)

Why wouldn't we just go to MVC to begin with since we know they'll allow day visitors ? Is the beach as nice ? Is there a bar ?

We purchased the Stockholm cards for our family. Our ship, the Disney Magic will dock in Frihamnen, where do we pick up our cards ? We have the printed out vouchers. We were hoping to use the cards for the bus ride into town.

Thankyou so much. I appreciate what you have shared !
