You got your @memoak back!! 👏👏👏

You can definitely order “off menu” - my husband is a big fan of the James Beard French Toast and Eggs Benedict are also available any time. You can also order an omelette with any ingredients similar to the buffet.

Thanks for the info! We sail round trip LA-Hawaii-South Pacific and our cabin is on Deck 10. Good to know there are more machines on Deck 9.

Bob - hope you and Holli are home safe and feeling better! Thanks again for the Live!

We prefer to eat larger meals earlier in the day. Then, we eat lighter at dinner time. It’s great we all have options!

Thanks for the response! Guess we will be BYO!

I don’t remember the entire menu because I always have: Avocado Bay Shrimp starter Salmon entree Soufflé for dessert My husband enjoys the Beef Medallions I’m sure many more will chime in! MDR embarkation lunch is my “We are cruising again!” moment!

@Woobstr112G - we have so enjoyed your Live from the Sapphire! We will be boarding in April for a 32-day RT LA to Hawaii and the South Pacific. Our first time for the Sapphire and we can’t wait! If it’s not a bother, can you check to see if Coke Zero is available? Some cruisers are reporting mixed results depending on the ship. We usually bring some for DH when we board and replenish at ports. Since our 32 days include 22 Sea Days, finding Coke Zero in port might be a challenge 😁 Enjoy the rest of your cruise and all the best to you and Holli! ⚓️🛳️🛟🚢🪝

My tradition as well!

Gotta love the consistent inconsistency of Princess 😠 Why, oh why can’t passengers expect the same experience fleetwide? We had to push to get the free tokens on the same ship on a single cruise!!

Yay!! I mentioned this on our survey! I agree with @Ombud - great news for DIY excursions!!

I have heard that’s why they nicknamed it “Costa Maybe” 😂

I, too, wondered if this rumor was true. On our recent B2B on Island Princess, I went to Passenger Services during our first cruise and got tokens with no problem. On the second cruise I returned to Passenger Services and requested the tokens. I mentioned that they were free but was told, “We don’t do that.” I pressed that it was done on our first cruise and the lady relented and gave me tokens but couldn’t resist reminding me it was against policy. As usual, counting on consistency with Princess is not possible.

And, as we all aware, any experience on a specific ship will not mean the same experience on another ship. To me, that is one of Princess’s problems. If only they could give every passenger on every ship the same level of service and policy! But, they seem content to be consistently inconsistent!

I have used the lanyard, the silicone band from Princess, the silver bracelet from Princess (can’t wear it as it seemed to fit fine but is small and difficult to snap closed) and for our most recent cruise found these thanks to a recommendation here on CC. It attached easily to my Apple Watch band and I loved it! My husband, not so much. He stuck with the silicone one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C3TH31JT?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

We are excited! The full promenade was a definite selling point!

We are doing a 32 day (22 sea days) in April, 2024 on the Sapphire and looking forward to it! Haven’t been on that ship yet.

Hope you recover quickly and completely! And prayers for Mom too!

Glad it works for you! Just remember that the reserved seating is only for Production shows, not every event in the theatre.

Just off Island Princess and port guides were only available on the app and we had no way to print them😕

Yes, they did have the Pub Lunch in the MDR on one of our sea days. We had at least 9 sea days over the 28 days and we only saw it once. No biggie! 😂

I’ve been called several times and have always been polite when I tell the caller we are not interested. In the past week, I have been called by Ruby with the same spiel. The only reason I answered was because the caller ID showed my Princess Cruise Planner’s name and number!! I told Ruby I was not interested, won’t be interested in the future and to take me off the list and not call again.

We were on the Island for 28 days and never heard about Alfredo’s pizza in Sabatini’s 😢

Yes, it was strange. My husband isn’t a beer aficionado but prefers Mich Ultra over other Busch products and especially over DosX!! 🤣

Just off a B2B on Island. Wanted to trade alcohol for Michelob Ultra. Room Steward checked and was told it couldn’t be exchanged because Mich Ultra is a Premium Beer. It costs $.50 more! We could exchange for Budweiser products. Didn’t push the issue. When we met the F&B Officer at our Meet & Greet on our 2nd cruise, I brought it up with him. He agreed that Corp had changed some of the parameters on what could be exchanged and we both admitted it was petty (my word, not his), disallowing an exchange that would cost Princess $4.00 per cruise! He then excused himself and called Room Service to make the exchange for Mich Ultra. Kudos to him, but I should not have had to get him involved.
