The WORST massage I ever had was on a cruise. Does anyone have any recommendations for Sapphire Princess? I mean, they are already at a ridiculous premium, I'd really like a great one!
I wish they'd just fix the issue that whether your cruise be a 5 day or a 35 day - you still get only two meals..... Yes, of course, drinks and tips scale with number of days, but much of the rest does not.
So I searched and the last time I could find this on the Princess thread was 2007. I think we can agree that times have changed (and yet.....).
This is my first time on Princess - first equator - first dateline. (Although I've cruised for 50+ years, and on some lines that no longer exist, so not a newbie).
What are the Princess rituals I must not miss? What do you do upon boarding? (I'm solo this time - so not that.....)
I'll be on the Sapphire - lunch in the dining room is on the list. What else?
Happy sailings - where ever - when ever!
I know that taking food either on or off the ship has become more and more restrictive.
What is the situation on flowers? Boarding in Los Angeles - and then on to islands.
Can I board in LA with bon voyage flowers?
If I buy a lei in Honolulu can I take it on the ship.
Other pacific islands? Does it vary by port?
Any recent experience?
Thanks
Yay you. You've done the right thing FOR YOU. I too am about to go (Sapphire April 5) solo for the first time after a string of challenges. Breathe, do, and BE.
