I heard the anchor dropping at Grand Cayman. I think I was the only one to hear it.

i highly recommend it for families  or small groups.

We sailed the Crown Princess Family Suite last year. We did not find the wind a factor, at all.

I am getting ready to get our family " Ocean Ready" and I was wondering if I need to have each person in our party download the app to their phones in order to get medallions?  We have two different cabins for our family, and my daughter is also bringing a friend on the cruise.  Should I have her friend download the app and get Ocean Ready, or do I set up everyone's information from my phone app? 

I "registered" my entire family on my Ocean Ready. We got our Medallions yesterday.

After reading the posts on this topic, I have gone into Ocean Ready several times without incident.

i have even downloaded several of the other Ocean Apps. They installed and ran without incident.

The Sky Princess has a couple Window Suites... We will be in a Window Suite on her Inaugural cruise out of Port Everglades December 2019

Thank you for the excellent review. We will be on the CB next June with the family.

We have been to all of the mentioned ports. We favor the Cayman, Roatan, Belize, Cozumel itinerary.

In fact, we will be on the Caribbean next June for this itinerary.

The Captain's Circle and the crew members. With all of our cruising on Princess we have never encountered anything less than happy, cheerful crew members.

Although not a veteran myself. The Veteran OBC is a very nice touch.

My family of 5 stayed in a family suited on the Crown Princess in March. We absolutely loved it. Breakfast in Sabatini's was great, as was the CC Dining. We did not have any issues on the balcony on the sea days. Excess motion was non-existent. Our Family Suite was capable of accommodating up to 8 passengers.

The only negative was the fold out couch. Both were quite worn. No one in our group were able to sit on the couch. We kept sliding off the front of the couch. Of course, my kids eventually made a game of it.

Overall, I would highly recommend the Family Suite for families or large groups.

We have the Family Suite booked on the Caribbean Princess next year.

We have seen Steve Caouette several times and he is great.

We wish Princess would have a venue for comedians like Carnival does.Carnival has a comedy act around 11:00pm almost every night.

Princess tends to have one headline show with a comedian and one lounge show.

Have to agree with rockdoctor... Aside from the buffet, Ruby is much nicer ship. Our main grief with the Regal is the balconies. All things being equal, we prefer sailing on the Ruby.

For us the overriding factor will always be the itinerary. We can adapt to the individual ship.

Experienced CC dining on a family cruise in March (Crown Princess). The experience was extremely enjoyable. Well worth it. Will definitely book it again.

On the second night the staff knew all of our names, food preferences and issues (allergies). We highly recommend CC Dining.

Comments -- Very nice for a Family or large group. Essentially, two Mini-Suites combined. Sleeps up to 8. Room is spacious. Room steward was very attentive. Two bathrooms. Both couches in the family room are worn, slightly ragged. Very difficult to sit without sliding off. 3 TVs allowed for viewing for different tastes. Good value!

Would book again in a heartbeat! :):):):)

We were on the Crown last week and were not required to bring life jackets to muster. :p:p:p:p:)

I do not believe any of the Royal Class ships have a Family Suite.

They usually show one or two football games on the MUTS and/or one of the bars. Same for college games. I watched a Steelers game on the Regal last October.

My bad... That is what I get for speed reading.

Check your ship deck layout... Normally, Even numbered staterooms are on the port side and odd numbered rooms the starboard.

if you have consecutive numbered staterooms they may not be next to each other.

Enjoyed reading your blog... We were on the same cruise. Your pictures really brought back the memories of a great trip, even with the rain and fog.

Looking forward to your next post.

Most of the muster stations (Princess Theater, Club Fusion, Casino, etc.) have ample seating available.

Some have limited seating. There will almost always be someone courteous enough to let your husband sit down.

In my experience sitting during the muster drill has never been an issue. If necessary, speak with a nearby crew member and they will assist in finding a place to sit.

DW and I sailed the Regal in October. We had a Mini-Suite on Riviera Deck, port side. No complaints. The issue of the walkway was a non-issue.

Our ONLY complaint about the Regal and Royal are the relatively small balconies.

Other than the balconies, both the Regal and Royal are great ships providing a great cruise experience.

Just checked and our March 2018 itinerary still shows Amber Cove.

Can't forget Jimmy Buffet

Comments – Excellent ship. Buffet is one of the very best. Ship's staff very efficient. Those staff encountered more than once addressed DW and myself by Last Name. Would sail the Regal again in a heartbeat.

DW and I were on the Regal this month and dined at the CG. We did not experience this limitation.

The waiter gave me a couple extra lobster tails. Didn't have to ask.

Can't honestly say if I noticed a change of policy on the entree. The policy may have changed on the Regal, maybe not. Maybe it was because I was nice to the the personnel in the CG.

In the MDR the same thing. A couple tails found their way to my plate by the time I finished the first tail.
