Speaking of which, three vampires walk into a bar. The first one says, "I'll have a pint of blood." The second one says, "I'll have one, too." The third one says, "I'll have a pint of plasma." The bartender says, "So, that'll be two Bloods and a Blood Lite?"

Believe it, or not, I've never heard this one. Time for bed!  LOL 

Good night, Lestat.   😁

Curious as well. No return from OP.

 

How is it, from your picture, you are getting younger every year? I know retirement is wonderful...but I am not looking younger every year!!😁

He's a vampire.  🦇 😁

I'm pretty sure those CC members on next months 1st sailing of Nieuw A will fill us all in 

on the new details. 😎

It's probably a publicity stunt to get attention (and votes) for "them".

So in other words, it won't happen.

Cruise credits…one per cruise except for suite & solo passengers who receive 2 credits.

 

2 credits for solos .. not too shabby. 

But that reminds me. I should contact them about my sudden promotion to Ruby, even though I only sailed once.

25obc beginning with 21st cruise, 50 obc after 31st cruise

Oh ok, thanks. 

As a new kid on the block, I'm still unfamiliar with some of the jargon on the Princess board. 

(Still so much to learn! 🤯) 

Appreciate your help.

Loyalty OBC as of my last cruise:

21-> 25 OBC 

31-> 50

No idea after that. Basically 2 glasses of wine 🍷 🍹. And yes, solos get there in 1/2 time but as said before we pay double 

 

 

Just curious ... what do the 21 and 31 signify?

I couldn't speak for Halifax but I'm guessing Princess will likely have something posted in late 2022 for 5-Day Cabo cruises once their schedules firm up a bit more and they have a much better idea of how and where to deploy their ships.  Just a guess.

That sounds logical. 

It looks like I need to be patient, and ride it out for a while. (And I pride myself regarding patience, so not sure why I'm lapsing. LOL 🙃🤯) 

Thanks for playing Dr Katz. I owe you a beer. 😎

There are at least 10 cruises sailing just out of the west coast (some to Cabo) of 3-5 day sailings.  I'm guessing there's a lot more on the east coast.  What is it specifically that you're looking for that you're not finding?

The 5 day Cabo getaways for winter 2022, and 5 day Halifax Getaway that usually sails in late October.

Anyone else notice the short getaways are not being offered in 2022?  🤔 

A shame, because I was considering trying one of them out in order to sample a particular ship. 

Guess have to squeeze in a 7 day instead.

I agree. As I said, only saying that it's certainly possible.

I believe that room 420-something at the Beverly Hilton was either renumbered, or removed from inventory after Whitney Houston died in there.  

So what Princess does is anyone's guess.

how can "so much love" when one gets married be replaced by "so much hate" 

There's only one word to solve that problem ... "divorce"

Ahhh  you have seen the photo of the store room ( white space ) with the barrel chairs....

 

Don

I have ways of getting into "forbidden territory" ...   

🤐😎

There's only one "n" in Volendam, and it's always in the center, never at the end.  🤔🙃

Today, over 200 Majestic Princess teammates received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccination in the Port of Los Angeles. Let's do the Ruby next! 

 

 

 

Wow ... They removed the Chinese characters from the hull. Does this mean Majestic Princess will be permanently based here from now on?

Something very white, and machine which goes ping....

 

Does that include a comfy chair?  🙃

Volendam is my favorite HAL ship!  

Based on your experience, I think I'll grab the opportunity to sail on her this Dec.  

Cheers!

Hey gang. 

I'm thinking about trying this ship later in the year, and my cabin choices are Main Deck, and LP Deck. 

I know about the obstructed views and so on, but I'm curious about the glare from the deck lights that are left on all night. 

Anyone stay in those cabins experience anything intrusive with the lights? 

Thanks for your input.

Coral. 

Easy access from midship, and Piazza attractions.

I was in cabin E610 on Regal Princess, and it was a perfect location. 

Close to the aft stairs, and very quiet. 

So if you pick port side in the 500s to 600s, you'd be satisfied with your choice. 

Good luck!  😎

Looks like there's no 5 day Halifax Getaway for that year. Bummer. ☹️

Stunning view of both ships tonight. 

I wonder what's that blue thing in the distance, right behind Caribbean Princess. During the day, it looks like a skyscraper. Maybe POA 1 or another local can fill us in

I saw this as well this morning. We booked a 10 day for Feb 2023 and were prepared to pay $800($1000CAD) for a deposit. When we booked it they only charged $252 CAD in total. I guess its because we booked before May 1.

Interesting ... 

So that means if I actually book it, the deposit will be $200 pp. Think I'll give it a whirl.

I just did a mock booking for a 10 day Sea of Cortez leaving 7 Nov 2022. 

They want a deposit of $400 per person. And it's not May 1st yet.  

Did I miss something here? 🤔

Nice view of Koningsdam on the San Pedro webcam.
