AF-1

I was on Caribbean Princess last month.  According to the daily patters there is a good spirits bar on deck 5 midship; but they did not list Club Fusion or Vines on their list.

plus there will be two umbrellas in your closet.  We had binoculars in our suite for Alaska.  

for those who have sailed Regal or Royal,  does the int'l cafe have a area where you can pick out loose tea verses tea bags,  or coffee beans verses ground coffee?  I thought I saw a video on this; but I may have imagined it too.  Thanks

Was on CB  last month.  Went to four shows.  Two were excellent, one magic show was not that great, and comedian was excellent

I have also downloaded it. my understanding is you can only use it on board.

That is correct; only to be used on board the ship;  it is tied to the ships intranet; it is a useful app

Sea Hag,  where is it located?   last month I did not see any latch to click or push; that would constitute the deadbolt.  Sorry, just did not see one.  In hotels yes I do see the deadbolt; but not on our cabin door.  Of course if it was there I did not see it.  Have a great day

Thanks njhorseman,  I apprreciate you quick response

I do not believe there is a deadbolt on cabin doors

Glad to help; If you have any more questions; please just ask.  There are a lot of people who are experts with lots of info

Any other name brand hotels in Wall Street area?

Turtles06,  thanks for this link

Thank your for posting this map.  I have a trip scheduled next Oct from Red Hook on Princess.  I plan on staying in Midtown; so I also saw a thread about taking the ferry from wall street to Red Hook.  I may just do that.  Again,  thanks,  I will study this map

How many ships can dock at Red Hook?  I am sailing on Princess out of there.  Thanks

Let me add a few more notes;  like mentioned above, you will receive your shore excursion ticket in your cabin.  It will tell you where to go; it may be a lounge on the ship; where you and your entire group will leave the ship together; or it will say meet on the pier next to the ship;  where you will go off the ship and look for your tour number;  lets say your excursion number is 206A; snorkle adventure.  Once off the ship you will look for the tour operator who is holding up a big sign that says RCCL 206A.  You will go to that person and hand them your ticket.  Simple.  I know if you are new to this it can be over whelming.  Thats what cruise critic is for;  to help others out

Hello Linkav.   suggest you post the question on roll calls or the princess thread.  Have a nice day

Give it a day or two;  then check your personalizer again;  maybe a glitch with your specific cruise.  

Ha Ha,  ok,  if you have a question let us know.

How many elites sail on each sailing;  that may have to do with the cost factor.  

Yup, one way or the other; they will be given somehow to the port agent.  Thanks and have a nice day

C-Lad last month on CB the port security people did not care if you had medallion hanging from your neck or cruise card. They just checked whatever you had with you

Vic The Parrot,   thank you for info on Astro Diner;  growing up in NJ  I am all about diners and pizza

Yes two thumbs up for Norway's rescue and hospital crews

I believe the Ocean Medallion program was launched just over a year ago.  Majestic was already built without the wiring necessary for the medallion program.  Once the program launched the first two ships were going to be Regal and Royal; and other ships added when they went into drydock.  This may not be 100% accurate; it is what I believe happened. 

I plan on staying at Hilton midtown prior to my cruise

Is someone misses the ship; the captain will have security go into stateroom to see if the passports are there. If they are; they will give them to pilot boat; and the pilot boat will deliver to the port agent for the passenger or passengers.   the port agent and passenger  will to try and meet up with the ship at next port
