Our documents say that boarding starts at 1230 we normaly go straight to the dining room for lunch. 

Pre covid lunch was available 1200 until 1330.  Question is, is lunch in a dining room still available and if so which dining room on the Sky. Thanks.

On Sky at the moment.  Went to the Estrella (deck 6, midship) restaurant for lunch on embarkation, restaurant open from 12 to 1.30pm.   Ship is lovely, hope you have a good cruise.

Hi, we are on a cruise in a week or so and wondered if you would be able to check out what make of sun tan lotion they are selling in the shops.  I know that the franchise for the shops have now changed but am hoping we can still buy the same as before.  Not a biggie, but if you happen to notice would be very grateful.  

Enjoy the rest of your cruise.

Betty

Ha ha,  very good!

We have just got back from a 49 day cruise on the Royal and stayed in B737.  We had soot on our balcony every day, at times we were pelted by great chunks of soot and other times the very fine soot was on our skin and clothes.  We had to wipe down the balcony before using and sit on towels.  Consequently we were unable to use our balcony as much we wanted.  I took some pictures which I have forwarded to Princess asking how this can be classified as a Premium balcony.  I will never stay in this cabin again.  I have had aft balconies on both the Ruby and Emerald and really enjoyed them.  I really think Princess should advise when booking that soot can be a problem  just like they do for obstructed view balconies.

Betty

We have not met, but I have enjoyed and look forward to your posts.  I am so sorry to hear the sad news.  My thoughts are with you at this very sad time.

Great review.  Thank you for sharing.

Betty.

I was on Regal for the transatlantic which was after the baltics and they were serving them then.

Just got back from my cruise and I can confirm that there was a card from Princess waiting for me in my stateroom advising that 25 dollars had been credited to my onboard account to thank me for my loyalty.

Thank you all who replied to my query.

Betty

Thanks for the heads up. Cancelled and rebooked excursions and have saved 60 usd. Also noticed that airfares had gone down which we had booked with Princess and as they were flexible fares was able to save us over £200. Thanks again.

Betty

I have just checked again and in fact our cruise in September will be our 22nd cruise, not 21st as I first thought. We did not get any onboard credit, nor was there a card in our room. I will see what happens on our next cruise and if there is nothing will speak with the Captains Circle host for clarification. I will post back here so others will know for the future.

Again, thank you all for your input.

Betty

Thank you all for your quick responses.

We are cruising again in September so will see what happens then. I will post whether it was received.

Betty

Does anyone know whether this has been discontinued.

I have just reached my 21st cruise with Princess thought they had a loyalty programme where you received a small onboard credit. Have been told by a princess rep that they have never heard of this and to send screen shot so they can investigate. Having done search on princess unable to find anything. I am from uk so maybe it doesn't apply to us? Would appreciate any help.

Betty

Me too. I am also in uk.

Betty

Betty, wasn't that your picture of you and hubby I saw on the "other" social site? ;)

No not me. Sorry for the delay in replying, just got home late yesterday and Internet was very slow on ship! Betty

Currently on Emerald Princess and we called at Princess Cays on Sunday. No damage at all. We spoke with one of the guys who works there and he confirmed that Joquin missed them. Betty

Thank you for posting. I went on this today to do a dummy booking for my upcoming Royal cruise in February to see how it differed. I noticed they have an offer on for air and was able to cancel my cruise, rebook with the same stateroom and save £700 for the flights.

If you hadn't posted I would never have known. Thanks again.

Try Nobby Clarke. Email nobbyoffroad@horizon.co.fk. We had a wonderful tour with him in 2013. highly recommend. Unfortunately cannot find the card the gave us with telephone number but will keep looking for you. Good luck and hope he can find space for you. Betty

We did the princess tour in March of this year and had a wonderful time. It was worth every penny to visit such a wonderful iconic place. Hotel in urubamba was lovely it was a shame we could not stay longer to appreciate fully the facilities.

If you have any questions we would be more than happy to help.

Betty

Hi, we were on the Crown and had room C705 which was just above these cabins and we also were very close to the elevators. We did not find the noise to be a problem. Yes, you sometimes heard the inconsiderate noisy people going back to their cabins, but no more than we have found on other cruises in cabins further down the hall.

Have a great cruise.

Betty

Wishing your husband a speedy recovery. I will look forward to your next live from. Betty

I am so sorry for your loss.
