    Laundry rooms

    in Princess Cruises

    Posted

    One of the reasons we take Princess is the laundry rooms. We like the longer cruises so with the laundry room we do our laundry once a week. Will be Elite after our next cruise but most likely will do our own washing, as stated by others the wait is 3 days for Princess and you have to be careful what you send out as they don’t check fabric content. We might send clothes that need ironing- I don’t like to iron!

    The coffee klatch for theupcoming cruises are to be held in the Patisserie on deck 5. Plenty of seatingroom. But, it does not open till 0600. In fact, nothing opens until 0530 up inthe HC. Bummer. Working with no coffee sucks…

     

     

     

    We tried out Alfredo’s yesterday.Brilliant idea. Use Sabatini’s for lunch pizza and turn it into Alfredo’s. Andnobody knows about it. Uncrowded, quiet, nice seating. The pizza was reallygood, especially when compared to the stuff from the top deck the day before,but the crust still needs a bit more salt. Topping were great. Order the Zenpizza – the vegetarian with ham on top! (One with everything!)

     

     

     

    Tried out Tai Chi at sea.Interesting. Will probably do a bit more later. Now I have to concentrate ongetting some work done for the next 5 days. Big transition from Tai Chi toZumba! With the Universe Lounge missing we had to use the Wheelhouse bar. Notvery conducive to Zumba or Tai Chi. I certainly miss the Universe Lounge…GladPrincess decided to not ‘reconfigure’ the Coral as well.

     

     

     

    Very disappointed in the Elite Lounge. They still have thesingle drink of the day special for $6.50, but the snacks have degraded.Limited supplies that run out quickly and people have to stand in line waitingfor plates or veggies or the ‘main’ attraction. Its in the back section of theExplorer’s lounge. Maybe it will pick up on the next cruise.

     

     

     

    In lieu of a Most Traveled party we got a free dinner atBayou Café and two free drinks! I have to say, and Judy agrees, that thehalibut, which they will not have on the next cruise, and the lobster were thebest prepared and freshest we can remember anywhere! Wow! Service wasfantastic. The steak (Porterhouse) – so so – a little tough, lots of fat andgristle, needed a bit more char on the grill marks and a bit more seasoning.Texas Roadhouse ribeye’s ate better.

     

     

     

    Dancing is more restricted on this cruise with the loss ofthe Universe Lounge, but the larger wheelhouse and Explorer’s Lounge dancefloor almost make up for it. The party band is Solutions and they are verygood. Lots of R&R selections. We were able to mix between foxtrots, nightclub,cha-cha and merengue with not a lot of repetition. They do like their Santanathough! The band in the wheelhouse is a quartet – NICE! And they do a mix ofballroom dance music as well.

     

     

     

    Well back to work and off to coffee in about 30 minutes…

     

     

     

     

     

    Later!

     

     

     

    So glad to see that there is Tai Chi. Is it a DVD or a live teacher?
