Not wifi. Not Medallion. Not cameras. Not lights. Those are part of the fire detection system. Heat detectors.

No doubt things have changed dramatically on board in those 19 days so, best to start a new thread.

Storms! Never again storms!

Sorry bub.

Bold prediction from a 6 point deficit. I'll check on you in a little while.

Everyone will tell you to choose Glacier Bay over Endicott Arm / Dawes. And I agree with them. However, Endicott / Dawes is a beautiful fjord experience. If your choice brings you here, you will not be disappointed.

The shelf on the wall to the left was full of books. The point was that the library was very much open and available and not "diminished" -- whatever that means -- and a good place to finish off a beer, apparently.

Nah, false.

It means they will cut you a check.

Folks suggesting the F line streetcars are, with all due respect, out of their minds. These are commuter cars and more closely resemble a school bus than something designed to whisk away tourists and their luggage. Schlepping your luggage from the terminal, on and off a street car, into and out of BART sounds easy on paper but it is more trouble than its worth for someone on vacation. Get a taxi or uber from the cruise terminal to the airport. Done.

I wonder how likely a successful claim would be against a tour operator in Barbados weighed against the likelihood of actually needing to make one combined with the idea of giving PII over to some rando with an iPad...

They weigh you.

You can make payments directly to Princess when your booking is owned by a TA?

At Marjorie, they will usually spin the ship 2 or 3 times. Having done aft cabins several times to Alaska on the various itineraries, I can tell you I never wanted for a better view.

Also Ice Spiders. Arguably the best Christmas movie of all time.

Movies Under The Stars. Large screen on the lido deck where movies and other video content are shown regularly throughout the voyage. Usually movies at night. Football and other sports during the day, concert videos, etc.

Dress for the Olive Garden or Red Lobster.

Someone needs to explain to Princess what "chef's table" means. Because now it sounds like paying more to eat at the MDR.

Same as the others. If you are saying that you might have to wait like this with Reserve Class then that just isn't true. I've done Club Class then Reserve Class several times. No wait, ever, beyond the minute it takes the host to return to the entrance. In fact, it appeared to me, but I do not know for certain, that the RC section could accommodate the entire Reserve Class passenger set. It is the same people, at the same tables (or close by) every night. RC dining is one of the best perks of RC. No wait whatsoever.

In my experience, they ding the package twice for doubles. There has never come a time when I needed to go back to the well twice in five minutes, but I have ordered beer and a shot and received them together. I've never heard of a 5 minute limit.

You'll probably see it in the next day or two. They really do cut it this close.

Reads like AI wrote that. Wait, did it? At least the robot offered to buy you a drink.

Fair enough.

Deck 7, which is the Promenade Deck, just below the lifeboats as seen in the picture. There are no doors on Deck 6.

Please do not do this. Scan your medallion and proceed through the security checkpoint onto the ship without delay and don't hold up the queue. Just beyond security you will enter the ship, most likely just off the Piazza or into a large elevator lobby where there are dozens of crew just waiting to give you directions to wherever you wish to be. If you decide to just wander away in any direction you will encounter more crew just hanging out, holding radios, and answering questions. Questions like "where is my muster station?" are very popular and once again, they are there to answer exactly that sort of thing. There are dozens of crew members whose only job that day is to make sure you know where your muster station is. The security guy scanning people onto the ship is not one of them.
