Crashe

We’re on an early January cruise on Sky, hopefully band stays on!  As a native upstate NYer (not to be confused with NYC, I learned to play golf in my bare feet), pizza is my kryptonite!  We love Alfredo’s, but we always go premium so most changes don’t effect us, some actually helped.  It may be working exactly as planned…to free up space?

Play it later at night?

Big brother knows if you watch it or not, the announcements of the naughty list will start around 2pm!  😂

so you are saying i have a chance? 😛 

gamblers mentality!! 

Definitely.  We lived in Vegas for 9 years…momma needs a new pair of shoe’s!  Just adds some fun to the day…

It comes with Premier but you can purchase separately.  Last cruise we won about $100 of on board credit but usually the grand prize is a free cruise announced during the cruise.   I think it’s $20 a day… I just have to beat my wife to the door to keep her honest!

Just one of those topics that affects people differently.  If I have it, I enjoy it…if not, make do. 

@Incognito1I could see a scam about a cantina scamming passengers so they get paid cash…and tips.  Bring it back up to Princess?  Be curious what they said or did.  

Our last time on Regal, Apple devices got severely throttled for two days.  PITA but cafe was honest about it and told us how long it would be down…our droid tablet was fine.

Reasons for choosing a cruise:

1. Itinerary

2.. Compatibility of the cruise line's lifestyle to my lifestyle. 

.

1,003-Color of socks worn by the waitstaff

1,004-Brand of sheets on the bed

1,005-Number of links on the chain connecting the main anchor

1,006-WiFi speed

1,007-Quality of viewing of the Perseid meteor shower

Meteor shower is higher than that ! 😂

A convenience device for rooms, location finding and payment tracking.  No personal information is stored in medallion, it’s a way to track friends and to have orders sent to you, pay for things if you shop on ship and gets you into your room.

My wife doesn’t drink that much at all but don’t stand between her and the Smooth Sailings at Wakeview bar.  Love the medallion, we would walk up and immediately you would hear Smooth Sailing for the lady and you sir? The medallion always knows….and I discovered Mojitos without sugar!

We  also like the idea of not having to think about anything, although the alcohol upgrade will be extremely appreciated. 

Now we going to have to cruise together…grey goose for everyone! 😂

We always get the thermal spa and have never founded it crowded.  I’ve been hearing different lately, let us know.   We usually don’t even use it until 7pm or so….enjoy your cruise!

Happens during our cruise, mix replies to wether it will be bothersome.  We shall see!

Go to the Yes/No show, always a good time!

We head out in January and booked for Premier.  Some things won’t be worth it like the alcohol upgrade but really can’t see worrying about what we can and can not do for our time away.   So looking forward to the next cruise….

Not done it yet! (Know more about me than my family…)

Medallion is like a key, that’s all.  I’ve kept a few, wanted to “play” with them.  I believe they are passive rfid’s, meaning they contain no battery but energize when they are near a device.  I also believe Singapore is where they are made.  My only complaint is last two cruises they did not arrive in time and had to obtain another one at port.  This in turn required us to go to help desk to get “re-read” due to certain issues.

Go toward the Cabanas, some have Wi-Fi antenna’s hooked to ship Wi-Fi.

We won 3x for $50 each time last cruise.  Having lived in Vegas for 9 years, odds are not in your favor but enjoy the excitement when we approach the room.  I believe a free trip is awarded to contestants per cruise.

Well, relatively quiet compared to the main pool. 

Don’t give away secrets! We love sitting back there playing cards or something.  Only had one bad experience back in the masking days after start up where someone was wearing a rubber wolf mask vs a “real” mask, not wearing footwear but would continue to enter ship for restroom purposes.  They kept stopping him to correct him.   He was stomping his feet and just screaming like a 8 year old.  Pretty damn annoying…who wants to go in a rest room on a cruise ship in bare feet?  Yuck…

There's always the Wake View pool on deck 16 which we find very quiet.

Quiet! 😂

Didn't know there were so many cruisers in Kingston, TN !  We are in Lake Harbor - on WB Lake.  Beautiful here, isn't it !

Sure is.  Looks like we are about 3m south of you.  We own 10 acres across from Darlington Point.  Love your pictures!

Hah!  Just up the road a bit from us!

We chatted last year before my last Regal cruise.  Hope everything finds you well on the “west side” of the river! 😂

Love the pictures and commentary.   Was just bouncing around a little on Sky Princess updates, she is our favorite Princess Ship.  We are fellow Kingston, TN residents and I’m looking out at Watts Bar out the front window, waiting for our January Sky Princess cruise!  Great posts!
