I'm sorry if this has been asked a million times...10 days until final payment but out $400 if we cancel. I'm having serious cold feet about my teens sharing the double sofa bed. For those who have slept in the sofa bed or had kids do it, how bad was it? Thanks!

Most ships sushi bars are only open after 4 pm. So no lunch available. I believe the Discovery is the only ship where they have lunch. The Ocean Terrace locations only do dinner

Yes, on Discovery. Sorry I didn't clarify that. 

Hi! Does anyone know if they will custom make your order at the Sushi Bar? I'd love to have sushi for lunch one day if they can use tamari or gluten free soy sauce. 

This is great. Thanks for the report and keep it up! #lifegoals 🤣 I cruised alone for the first time last year and I'm hooked. My husband and kids are strangely not as enthusiastic. Haha. You won't regret going alone, I guarantee it! Bon Voyage! 

By any chance, do you remember the movies they were offering for MUTS? Thanks! 

Can you please let me know the movies they are showing for MUTS? 

Thanks!

How long has it been since your last  comedy theme cruise?

In December of last year. 

I'm sailing on Discovery Princess soon and noticed our "Comedy Themed Cruise" features the same comedians who were on our previous comedy themed cruise. Does anyone know if they say different jokes from cruise to cruise, or is it like the stage shows where it's the same? I don't know how much they're allowed to go "off script". Thanks!

I was on Discovery in May from Vancouver to Seattle and didn't really notice any trouble. I only logged on to read emails, look at Facebook and use What's App. Are those currently functioning well? Is all the stuff with the medallion working (room service, etc.)

Why would Princess sell a cabin to 2 paying passengers when they can fill the same cabin with 3 paying passengers? Simple economics. Not really sneaky...they are in business to make money. I laugh when people are surprised that companies set things up to make the most amount of money. LOL.

I have thought the same thing as you, but never cared enough to look up anyone else's information.  In the U.S. I believe both of the matters, one being considered a criminal conviction, are public information.  

 

I wonder if a visit to the front desk to request that a last initial replace your full last name would do the trick...or remove the last name entirely.  If I were a single woman traveling alone I would definitely not like my name being there showing that I am in that cabin solo.  

If I'm a single woman traveling alone, I lock my door. Problem solved. Lol. 

How was cabin E407? Did you end up taking any pics of the obstruction? Thanks!

Here is a photo from Noordam's sister Oosterdam:

Pullman is over the "big bed". Some have reversed the pillow-end of the main bed...

Thanks. I'm tied to my CPAP, so switching sides of the bed might tangle me up. Lol. Funny, but not very practical. 

Hi, folks! Has anyone stayed in a quad cabin on the Noordam? Do you remember if the bed that drops down is over the main bed or the sofa bed? Anyone on board right now that can take a pic? We're going to be in a balcony on deck 5, if that helps. 

Thanks!

The ship decor was boring. Also the shop that they had a mannequin wearing an old ladies dress that looked like a housecoat. Pretty bad for a store.

We are looking at October 8 2023 San Diego to Sydney and not sure if  we will be happy. Just got off Island Princess and food, coffee and entertainment was horrible. Also when we were on  Noordam there was no-one out past 10 o'clock cause there was no music of any type

Thank you for your he!p

There is a chat option on the website. I got help right away. 

Thank you!

Hi,

We generally sail Princess and they take tips out daily, but we're on day 2 on Carnival and I don't see tips being taken out. Does Carnival do it at the end? Can someone please tell me the daily tip for a balcony cabin now? We're working off an OBC but I don't want to forget to leave money for tips! Thanks!

I've been on over 30 cruises and my tradition is to literally eat everything I see for as many days as I'm on the cruise and then cry for weeks after about the weight gain. Haha, cruising!!! 

Actual tradition upon boarding (even pre-Covid): Wipe down every surface with Lysol wipes. 🙂

He absolutely is.... well, it's a Golden State Warriors championship souvenir Flava Flav clock! If i recall, it was still in the plastic wrap! 

That made my day and many days after. The whole thing. Still in the plastic wrap, like what????? 🤣🤣🤣

Does anyone know who the comedians are on the Miracle? Not sure if they'll still be on by my sailing, but I like to see who is possibly performing. Also, does anyone have the 4 day Ensenada from SF Fun Times from last week? 

Thanks!

Headed on 3 different cruises to Ensenada in the coming months and I would love to find a gym or local pool where I can swim in Ensenada. Looking for somewhere safe... don't want to get robbed of my passport while my head is underwater! (Nothing against Mexico...I'd feel the same way here in Cali!)

Thanks!

Does anyone know where I can safely lap swim in Ensenada? Maybe at a gym or public pool? A 25 yard pool would be great! Also, any ideas on what to do with my passport/credit cards while my head is underwater? It's a great time to be robbed! (Nothing against Mexico, same issues here in Cali!) Thanks!

OMG, I clicked on this picture to zoom in because I'm nosy and hot damn!! Is that guy rocking a Flava Flav clock? What am I looking at? Oh, airports. You never disappoint!

It is the same with the Oct. 2 New Amsterdam from Vancouver to San Diego which we were going to book today.  Hope it is not sold out.

Well, I guess they can't cancel both. A little more comforting?
