@BigWaveDave87 yep we always went ( quite some time ago)to Crooners and got the blue cheese stuffed olives. I love those -sad they only have the small ones for you on your cruise with the pimentos.

@HBCcruiser that is quite the balcony. Looks like some fun drinks . Following along on your live.

Joe, great ,glad like Tiffany we are one of the unforgettable ones.🤣 I think Teresa,my mom, & I cruised the first time with you and second time my husband?? Hope to cruise one of these days with you or meet up in CA prior or after one of your cruises on the west coast. I go to CA often. Sadly Teresa passed away last year- cancer. Enjoy your cruises,somewhere I have your email address.

Great photos and following along on your live from. I’ve been on this itinerary many times. Looks like you are having a great time.

This was 2nd formal night on Alaska Itinerary on Royal Princess, I know not Discovery,but might be similar? This is what I believe you were trying to work dinner around.

This was Alaska first formal night on Royal Princess,not Discovery,but might be similar time.

Love your comments,can’t wait to hear about the real live ,starting tomorrow from Discovery on your short cruise. Sorry about your car battery,but it’s fixed…. Yeah. Cruise mode!🛳️

Hi Joe & Amelia, don’t know if you remember me -the strawberry blonde ? We cruised with you a couple times way back. Just wanted to say hi. Enjoy your upcoming cruises. Julie

So true,thanks.

Bought them at Crooners a very long time ago,don’t think they sell them anymore. We love the wineries outside of Ensenada too. Enjoy your retirement cruise.

here’s the recipe from my Crooners playing cards.

Does the wording refer to take & complete next cruise in 60 days or just book the cruise within 60 days for future? That part looks confusing to me but…..

We’ll hopefully not your final cruise. Don’t let a bump in the road stop you from “doing you.” Enjoyed reading your live perspective,it was entertaining. I don’t see a live from this week for the Discovery,so….. last week 2 of them.

Great pictures and live from.

Nope little table is a little table in the room. Top of refrigerator is top of fridge. I have a solution - move your other “stuff”. don’t want to hijack the Op’s thread ,so….

@sonomaphil love all the drink photos.

I agree,op’s photo is beautiful even with a hallway food tray. Food tray-keep it in your cabin and your cabin attendant will take it for you. You can put it on top of the refrigerator-There’s usually a cabinet, there’s usually a little table or could always put it on the desk. If none of those areas works for you, leave it on the bed maybe with a towel underneath it or put it in the bathroom across the sink area. Probably quite a few choices . Most of the time people put it in the hallway-They’ve already left the cabin for the day, so just leave it in your cabin, it’ll be taken care of. Just my opinion/ 2 cents. Author/op- I am enjoying your live review and photos.

If you are still onboard,please post a menu for O’ Malleys to compare what has been posted. I posted a menu from princess.com. Perhaps they are different??

Not what op was asking, but…..In San Pedro many years ago my non surge protector power strip that was in my carry-on was confiscated by San Pedro ,California security at the port. They took my name & cabin number down and I photographed them taking my item.I might have even received a receipt.Previous cruises this exact power strip was in my checked bag and No problems. I was able to go to guest services and they had security Check it out,onboard the ship and I was given it back. So perhaps OP will get their fan back or has already gotten it back?

Here’s the menu,yep if you got charged for $15 + gratuities,then you’re missing your starter and your dessert. Ala carte is available,but no menu price here for ala carte.( I believe the starters are five dollars each, the mains $10 each, and the Afters, five dollars each.)

I have not booked any EZ Air through cruise line….. I would think a con would be that you would not be able to choose seats( which I like to know if I’m sitting by a window or with my traveling partner, etc. -right when I book )when you book the airfare for an international flight in premium economy or business class, until after the cruise is paid for, but I’m not entirely sure on this. Not sure how much control you have over your reservation, as opposed to booking it through the airline direct? That would be my con.

Definitely an easier way, transfer your booking to an experienced travel agent that cruises with Princess. Might be too late to do this since final payment due soon?? Might not be many cabins left to choose from though? , since final payment soon.You should never be reduced to tears when booking a vacation. just my opinion- I like Baja deck,but only cabins 400 or higher for me. Next cruise use a experienced travel agent and hopefully no tears.

I know you were asking about luggage storage, this may interest you to another alternative since you want to keep your 5 year old occupied,but what we have done in the past in Fort Lauderdale is Rent-A-Car until our late flight ,so that we can go to lunch, and or the beach, or just drive around and explore. Another time we called a local hotel and asked them for a day use rate, we were able to use the pool and they had an onsite restaurant and we were able to do that and then took I believe their free shuttle back to the airport.
