Arizona Wildcat

If two engines were down then the ship would not set sail. They are a couple kts slower with one engine down. Too much conspiracy theories here. Cheng is correct.

No bottles. Only 12pk cans can go in your carry-on stuff. Have seen stevia but only occasionally. Was a hassle to get in the MDR. Never on cruises out of South America. I would bring my own as easy to carry.

Boarding is handled mostly by shore personnel at the port where you board. Ft Lauderdale or Miami you will likely get priority boarding. That said, we usually arrive about 11:30 or a bit later and usually walk almost directly on board. No lines then.

Pretty much as said depends on your location. Middle of the ocean - reception can be spotty. Even Starlink can have issues with bandwidth and coverage.

Absolutely send in the paperwork. Virtually every jurisdiction will reschedule. Have done so many times.

DW and I usually went to Vines for a glass of wine every evening. The servers after a couple nights knew what we liked and simply brought us a couple glasses. Most nights never charges with the plus package. Left a nice tip.a couple times.

What I think you mean is do you get anything other than additional OBC for booking onboard. Answer yes, OBC, reduced deposit and whatever is the current promotion. We book while on board and transfer to our TA for additional OBC or often a cheaper group rate.

Two questions on a subject that really doesn't matter as people unless totally disgusting wear whatever they want. Snow - it that the white stuff I see on TV during winter storms? Dresses - since everything is gender neutral today; can anyone person wear a dress?

Absolutely suggest you wait till on board. Class times do vary but only limited offerings. Agree a 4pm workout class not for me, but 6am (my gym time) would not work for many others

There are lots of cabin reviews on APEX and its sister ships. Suggestion look port and starboard and one deck up or down as needed for reviews. Motion, you never know. Dependent on where you are cruise and the weather God's. HCat posted the pic first. Nice job.

A basic drink is $8 to 10 plus a 20% gratuity. Also you can bring 2 bottles of wine and a 12pk of canned soda pop on board at the start of your cruise. Look at the drink package cost and make your decision. Remember to include other things bundled into the package when looking at the cost and make your decision.

You would need to pay for each day you used the internet. Suggest looking at the cost of gratuities, and beverages you might buy and internet cost. Possibly Princess Plus would be cheaper.

Explorers lounge during the day. Always quiet in the morning

The two couples playing blackjack a couple cruises ago. Youngest was 95.Oldesr 99. Age is relative not just a chronological number. They danced up a storm every night. Think we all agree during school and/or longer cruises makes for an older group. Average on my last TA was 66 according to purser. A recent Christmas/New Years cruise just 32.

Last TA there were 6 children on board and about 7 or 8 in the 18-20 area. Thank you for my laugh of the day. Was not aware Celebrity offered S & M cruises.

Suggest going to the ships section on the website or Princess. Lots of reviews. We stopped cruising the Mexican Riviera. Too many men guarding stores armed with machine guns and always being hassled by begging.

If you leave your hotel at 10am you will arrive at the port maybe 10:30. 30 minutes to check-in. By 11am you can take the 15 minute walk and board. Wander about till your cabin is ready. Have always been allowed to drop off our carry-on stuff on boarding. Last cruise we walked almost straight on at 11am. Relax.

The itinerary is great and the towns interesting to walk. Never felt overrun with cruise ship passengers except at gift shops near the pier. Bugs- if you are near the harbor unlikely to have any as almost constant ocean breezes keep them grounded. Did a week in Greenland in August hiking years ago. Only fought mosses in swampy areas a bit inland. Never saw any in a month in Iceland 2 years ago. Cannot help on the ship.

I gave up on the Princess website - using Android - some time ago. I book with my TA then call Princess customer service and have them enter data as necessary. Use my passport photo from previous cruises. Also pick up our Medallions at the pier - the 30 seconds at check-in less stress than them arriving in time as we always fly out a few days ahead of our cruises.

The annual report is simply that - a report. It reports the significant changes made by the executives and BOD and financial data. An annual report does not make changes. Changes to the shareholder benefit would not require approval of shareholders at an AGM.

For stabilizers either mechanical which is unlikely as hardware and sensors or software which adjusts the stabilizers to keep things in trim in conjunction with engine thrust. Software is not my area of expertise but should be able to be solved in a simulation.

Princess and every other cruiseline can upgrade you. They certainly need to notify you or your TA. I had it happen twice. 1st time due to a mechanical issue. Received a larger and definitely upgraded cabin. 2nd time due to a large group. Was offered several choices and OBC or discount on a future cruise.

A regular veranda cabin would be very tight for me. Have done a suite, but adjoining cabins worked better for my family.

If you want formal try Cunard. All of the mainstream lines have a more casual approach. I wear a sportscoat and sometimes a tie. DW a nice top and long silk pants. Be aware on a Christmas cruise you will have at least a couple hundred children. They tended to walk about in a "herd" texting and moving about with little regard for others. For us, never again as I was knocked down by one group.

They both are challenged. Much of the info you would like pre cruise is either not possible - menus often gave tweaks - or do you really need the exact hours for everything? Pre internet we boarded and found out menus each day by looking outside the MDR. FWIW the Princess, HAL and RCL apps have lots of issues too. We just relax, board and sort it out later. Never had a reservation issue after boarding and far less stress.
