Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Exactly ten years ago today P & O Pacific Pearl 9 nights Pacific Islands cruise. Apart from the “worst storm in 50 years” and a late night allergic reaction, it was great fun. Went with my cousin as DH “I don’t do boats”. Since then got him on a 15 day river cruise 2018, 14 day Alaska last year, 21 day Mediterranean last month and 25 day Artic expedition booked for next year. Love the unpack once and that your accommodation (and everything else) moves with you.
  2. There is no Salty Dog Pub on Enchanted. Sailed 22 April-13 May. The Salty Dog Grill on the pool deck does not have what I would call an “elevated” menu but also no extra charge. Maybe half a dozen choices of fried food (with fries) as previously reported served on a tray. A quick lunch and always cooked fresh. We ate at Sabatinis one night and found the food and service good. Way too much food though. It was reasonably full and didn’t notice much if any through traffic as previously complained about on this forum. We don’t eat seafood but you’ve been provided some lovely photos from Catch above. We didn’t eat at O’Malleys but it seemed to be very full each evening and people having a great time.
  3. Excuse my ignorance but what is “howdy doody” referring to?
  4. Our first Princess cruise in 9 days. We have booked some ship excursions. Do we have to print off “excursion tickets” and bring them?
  5. I do the packing but my husband gets all his stuff ready. I certainly don’t tell him what to wear or take. We both acknowledge that I’m better at maximising space whilst minimising wrinkles 😁
  6. Serious question- why/when are you giving your cabin number? Shouldn’t your medallion be used as this would avoid mistakes? I thought this was one of the main reasons for its introduction.
  7. @xiphoid76which cruise have you booked? We’ve just booked Seabourn Venture June 30-July 25 2024 and like you a bit nervous about how expensive it is. However, it is a once in a lifetime adventure (another one 😉) and we did Alaska last year with Seabourn and loved it!
  8. Is the same diagram at the stairs? Don’t use the lift. First Princess cruise next month and dreading getting lost on such a large ship
  9. We did dog sledding on the Mendenhall Glacier. They do their summer training up there and over 150 dogs and two litters of puppies which we got to have cuddles with. Yes the helicopter trip, sledding etc were once in a lifetime and memorable on their own BUT cuddling puppies on a glacier with sun on your face - just next level memories!
  10. Thanks @CynBeth6 usually dress for churches as my MIL would 😊 Didn’t want to get caught out somewhere unexpectedly
  11. Just wondering who are “they”? Is this in general or to visit particular places/sites? I’ve only seen restrictions of having shoulders and knees covered for churches… Heading to the Mediterranean in April. Thanks
  12. Has anyone booked either/both of these excursions? Wondering how exactly it works. Not a lot of detail on the excursion on Princess website other than one person books the vehicle for everyone. Do you just meet with Guide on the day and tell them where you want to go? Do they make contact beforehand so you can plan your time? Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks.
