Rocking Waves

Which captain is currently on board the Sapphire (Dec 27) - from someone onboard please.

just have to ask for it🥰

Who is the current Captain?

More choices on the breakfast room menu, like bagel/smoked salmon, hot oatmeal, etc.  The breakfast sandwich is gross!  

More choices like lasagna souvlaki or other continental items.

Apple or fruit crisps or pies.

Hope the stores will carry a good range of medium priced items.  Love to shop for souvenirs and items related to itinerary and to cruising but not interested in ultra high end items.  They could definitely broaden the range of offerings.

I can't tell from photos but can one get in and out of the main pool using steps/stairs or is it a ladder, specifically new pool on the Breeze.  Have issues using ladders.

Rocking Waves

Return second chair with arms to balcony rooms or set up a request system on personalizer for those who prefer or need a decent chair to sit in.

Pools should have one set of stairs, not just ladders, for ease of access.  I don't want to be put on a lift when I could manage steps on my own but CANNOT do ladders.

Add a few more hot items to room breakfast menu - like quiche, or eggs of some sort. etc. or smoked salmon.

This voyage with Captain McBain was the trip of a lifetime to a very special place!!!!  The crew were also lovely and we met so many interesting cruisers.  We were so lucky on many accounts and the Coral was a very comfortable ship.  This will be our favourite and most remarkable cruise among many other also delightful journeys!!!!

Played around with a few of your suggestions, seem to be back on website now.  thanks for the help, i think it might have been a 'cookie' issue.

I am having problems accessing Princess website from my computer (apple) but mobile phone seems fine.  Has been going on for days.  Have restarted etc...but just get error notice.  Anyone else having issues?

Two people in each room have to pay full fare or a full single supplement (thousands of $) but only one gets to sit down.  Really!  Upgrading to a bigger room can be thousands of $ for two - not possible for all.  There are many moments in a 24 hr period that one might want to sit down - not stand in the middle of the room nor stretch out on the bed.  Reading, eating, drinking, dressing, make up, hair drying, meditating, socializing, simply being awake, etc.....  In rough weather, I would certainly want a solid place to sit so that I wouldn't fall over or have to lurch around the room with little to hold on to.  Some people will spend time in their cabins for their own personal reasons and at the cost of cruises, it shouldn't be such a stretch to have a chair or better.  Plus it can be difficult to find comfortable seating around the ship - many spots are 'saved' or simply full.  It will be worse if we all have to sit in public areas.  We often do breakfast in our room when we have early excursions.  It is really sad to have to 'beg' for a chair in what should be a relatively luxurious holiday.  Even cheap hotel rooms have two chairs, and often 3 (1 desk and 2 armchairs).

I also sent an email and did receive a personal phone call the next day which allowed me to follow up on my concerns and reasons why I felt the chair and table were important, at least for some people.  I didn't ask and wasn't told why this change but they were definitely hearing that was a serious concern for some people.  We had a full discussion and I offered some different solutions.  Clearly some find the chair and table in the way but for others, it makes for a more comfortable space as well as providing proper seating other than on the bed for two adults for a variety of reasons.   It is not my role to run their business but I appreciated the opportunity to express my thoughts, which I believe were heard.  What is decided in the end remains to be determined but some sort of choice would be ideal if it could be done without making life too much more difficult for the room stewards, who already have a lot to do.

Not only do I like the privacy of my room at certain times but it isn't always easy to find other places to sit.  Some people like to spend time in their rooms and it spreads everyone around the ship rather than crowded into public spaces.  The public areas can be very busy and noisy, or too dark to read comfortably.   Go find a chair by any pool that isn't reserved by towels or a spot in the atrium, especially if an event is happening.  We enjoy the public spaces and activities too but there is no reason that we should not be comfortable in our own room if we choose to spend time in our space.  I just wish there could be a way to provide chairs and tables to those who would like them - they have been in the rooms for years without issue.  And we can't all afford bigger suites just to get more furniture.

I agree, every room should have 2 chairs of some description to sit on, not just on the bed - whether to read, have a drink, eat breakfast, etc.  The coffee table is about the only place to set down a tray as the desk is often filled with personal items, flyers, etc.  We like to enjoy our room to relax and both need a place to sit down.  I do hope all those chairs and tables haven't disappeared.

have Safari on iPhone, iPad, and apple computer - only computer not working

I still can't get past the 'technical difficulties' page on my computer.  Cell phone seems ok.  Any suggestions to fix?  Have done my computer updates and restart but didn't help.  everything else seems to be working ok.

Love the towel animals and have often had them over the years. I usually ask the steward at the beginning if they are able to make them if they have enough time and that I really enjoy them. Frequently we are rewarded with very creative creatures on our pillows at night. I take pictures each time. Glad to give an extra tip for the special effort. Guess I am easy to amuse :)

I would love to see 'more' promenade decking, aft pool of decent size with stairs not ladder for people with rickety knees, and give thought to places (inside and out) on ship to watch the sea other than balconies. Life on ship is becoming more focussed inwards and losing the connection to the oceans around - whether more promenade or spaces to look out up front or on upper decks, etc. much like the original ships.
