I agree - seeing Casablanca or any other classic movies out there would be fun, or even some classic movies in the theatre itself like they used to. Maybe late, late night?

 

I found out via an entertainment email that was sent to us. It came out 2 weeks before the cruise and listed which shows, movies and guest entertainers would be on board! I don't remember ever seeing this before, but I definitely found it exciting!!

Nice! Are you on our roll call? I'm not getting emails!

Yes but be careful because they now have an option to prepay for shore excursions.

 

Pay Before You Sail, Or Pay Later Onboard

You have the option to pay for shore excursions in advance of your cruise. If you wait, we will add the charges to your onboard account which is settled at the end of the cruise.

Pay Now

Ack! I didn't notice that. I wonder if I accidentally paid for ours.

The 2015-16 Cruise Atlas is now available to order online from Princess. You can download the 154 page Cruise Atlas in .pdf format if you like. Order if from the Brochure page from their website. Not sure if this link will work:

I just ordered my copy by mail.

Thank you for the link. Hope mine comes before my Coral cruise.

Don't worry, the Coral is roughly three times bigger than the "small" ships. It carries nearly 2,000 passengers vs. 670 or so for the Ocean. You'll have a great experience.

Thanks, y'all. I didn't want show my ignorance and ask the relative sizes. We did Ruby as our last Princess.

ggprincess the Panama Canal is what we are doing. I'm excited.

I enjoyed your review.

We are about to leave on the Coral soon and DH keeps warning/reminding me that Coral is smaller than other ships we have been on.

As of 9/20 on the Coral Princess MUTS showings will be:

 

Godzilla (2014): Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe. Directed by Gareth Edwards. PG-13, 123 min.

 

Maleficent (2014): Starring Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning. Directed by Robert Stromberg. PG, 97 mins.

Oh thank you! I haven't seen either. How did you find out? I'd love to see Casablanca like another poster.

I didn't get one yet. I hope it comes soon.

I'm glad to know that.

I'm a little worried about the 8 sea days on our upcoming Panama Canal cruise. I've never done one with that many. New experience that I'm looking forward to. It's our 30th anniversary and our honeymoon was a cruise.

That was a great video.

Really enjoyed your review, Tess.

Thanks,

Thanks for the tips everyone! I asked my mom what her dream vacation is and she said to visit me. How sweet and cheesy is that?! :p So after some contemplation I called her and asked her to come with me on the cruise I already have booked for May. That way we can spend time together and neither of us have to stress about where she wants to go. She's reluctant to say yes and wants to think about it a few days. I'm tempted to just add her to the booking but don't want to drag her on a vacation she will hate so I'm going to give her time to decide. If she says no then I'll have to find a travel agent or conspire with one of her friends!

 

Thanks again for all the tips! :D

I hope she decides to go.

I may try MUTS for X-Men. I've never tried it. Although the CP may not have it.

I loved your post! Very helpful. Also read your Ode to a Cruise Ship Balcony! Loved it! When I booked our Panama Canal cruise DH couldn't talk due to work. He just texted for me to get what I wanted but be sure there's a balcony, lol.

Al do you know anything about the uncovered balconies on Coral Princess? That's all I could get.

Sapphiregem we loved Freedom. My niece was 13 at the time.

14!

My daughter was an irresponsible college kid and had 6,000 dollars stolen on a debit card (grandpa gave her money). It took weeks to get it back but she finally did. She's 26 now and DH still looks over her accounts.

I listen to consumer types on the radio. They really like credit unions. I think that could help the above poster. Best of luck. DD lost her job in May but found another after seven weeks.

But it's a special one--a 14 day Panama Canal for our 30th anniversary.

We are in IL and DD is in OK so we spend a lot of time there. I'm hoping to be able to do a cruise with her.

This was my 20 year anniversary gift. I got it on board the Summit in July. The memory of our cruise and where the bracelet came from is priceless! I am a big fan of on board shopping.

 

Is that sapphires? It's very pretty.

I disagree with this statement, based on my personal experience (May 20 cruise to Alaska on the Grand Princess with my 1-1/2 and 3 year old granddaughters). Perhaps you will find some helpful suggestions for cruising with toddlers in my review:

I do think that your nephew will probably sleep through most of the train ride.

Thanks I really enjoyed it.

Great travel log! We thought about PG for our 30th but we're doing the Panama Canal. After reading this and seeing your pictures, I really want to go to FP one day.

I also enjoyed your lovely wedding photos. I'm glad your husband is recovered. You have a knack for writing!

This book was just fantastic. A time travel where someone is trying to stop the Titanic from sinking. Really well written.

I'm going to try Cruise to Kill, thanks!

Probably a dumb question but doesn't the UP need wifi? My new one syncs all the time with my phone.

Only 42! I'm getting really excited.

Oh good I'm glad he jumped on it! :) You will have a great time.

gorgeous!

Thanks for posting pictures.

What did you think of the cruise? Did you like the line?
