  1. DanielA,  you are not correct in some of your thinking.  Yes you can use your phone for the next Zumba class and Trivia contest.  With ocean compass on your phone(avail when you board the ship),  it gives you access to the daily patters; listing everything going on the ship;  yes it will tell you who's performing and the digital screens at the elevators have the patters on them.  Have a wonderful day

  2. Are you asking about the soda and more package or the premier beverage package?  You are doing the 15 day trip to Hawaii out of SFO.  You can book your excursions in your cruise personalizer; or you can use a third party website to book shore excursions.  The first few days at sea are normally a little chilly; as you get closer to the Hawaiian Islands, the weather warms up.  For that many sea days, think about bringing a kindle for reading, or playing games, there will be plenty to do on board.  Hawaii is a great state with lots to see on the different islands.  Have fun

    Hi,

    I was unable to find the Ocean concierge App. Do you know if they have changed its name?

    Thanks and have a great day

    Sorry for mixup.  It is actually called ocean compass and it is part of medallion net;  you won't be able to use or download until you are onboard

  4. Thanks Mom33,  we sailed last month on Caribbean Princess and last year on Emerald;  the pool was on deck 16; lido on both ships.  Have a great day; we have Sky booked next year; so will see what the layout brings.  I know by the time I sail; there will be plenty of chatter on these threads about the ship; along with lots of pictures(hopefully lots of pics)

    Have a great day

  5. Terry,  thanks for sharing this info.  I see you have had quite a few interesting trips over the last four years.  I have to say the holy land, and petra is a highlight.  Let me ask you this question.  how far from where Jesus was tried; down the via dolorosa, to his burial ground;  how far was this?  I say it was maybe less than a football field.

    Yes, there is an aft pool on Regal. It is very small and only a dipping pool. The one on the Sky looks a little bigger.

    The pool on the Regal is on deck 17 aft

    So if it is on Deck 17 can you still acess it from the buffet area?  I have not been on either Royal or Regal.  Sky will be my first big ship with Princess

  7. Let me add one more thing for you lx200gps;  I did put the medallion in my pocket and when I approached my cabin it did not activate the lock.  I had to take it out of pocket to work;  but I have read some people have had it work in their pockets;  so that might be something you can try when you're on board

  8. I used the medallion last month on Caribbibean Princess.  The cruise card is flat and sits in a t-shirt pocket or pants pocket for men.  The medallion I wore on lanyard.  I guess for ease of use;  if I ordered a drink at the bar or bought something in gift shop; my medallion was on the lanyard so I could sit it on the scanning machine at the bar or gift shop.  Same process with the key card;  pull out of pants or shirt pocket and lay it on scanner.  If you have an apple watch(which I do),  I use it for paying check in restaurants, grocery and pharmacies.  I flick my wrist and pay.  The medallion works on same principle as apple pay with your apple watch(if you have one).  For me the medallion program was seamless and required no learning curves.  Hope this helps

  9. I think azbirdmom has it right.  Depending on what city you fly from; United may be more so they push the airfare down.  I fly out of CVG and United is always at the bottom; due to they charge way more for flights out of CVG.  That being said; Denver is a United hub; so you would think they would pop up at the top of the choices

    One of our favorite spots on the Royal is the aft seating area on the Lido deck.  They put a pool in that area on the Sky.  Not a deal breaker for us but would take the Regal or Royal if given the choice.

    You mention Sky's aft pool  lido deck.  That same pool is on CB and other ships.  It is small and there is still plenty of room to sit. Why do you think having the pool on Sky is different?  I really like the wake pool.  It adds ambiance to the entire area.  Enjoy where ever you cruise to
