How’s the food? What are the hours? Is it the Salty Dog during the day and the Wheelhouse bar at night?

Thank you.

Hey Seahawk: we'll be on the 10/15 sailing -- you as well? I don't know of any Princess shuttles from Manhattan, they're all from the local airports. Perhaps you need to take an Uber or cab.

We won't pass close to the Statue of Liberty but once we leave the berth, we'll have a decent view.

Hoping for clear, sunny skies.

We will be on the 22nd sailing. Thanks for the information. Hope you enjoy your cruise.

I hope your enjoying yourself. We are going to be sailing on the Regal in about 2 weeks. To my mistake I didn't realize that Princess doesn't use the Manhattan terminal. Are there any shuttles from Manhattan? Can lady liberty be seen from the ship?

If you get the 5 for 4, does it always come together in a bucket? Or could I split them up?

The 5 for 4 pre paid beer package and the pre paid bottle water package. Do they put them in the mini fridge in your stateroom? Or do you have to go to a bar or a restaurant?

Anything good during mid day?

Is the Trident grille a specialty restaurant?

The Aqua and ice skating shows on Royal Caribbean, and Rock of Ages on Norwegian.

Is specialty coffee included in the soda and more package? And do they have floats and shakes on the Crown Princess?

So, can I just grab a chair and relax in the pool without paying a fee?

Does anyone know if Mike's hard lemonade or Fireball whiskey is available onboard Princess ships?

How much are the coffee cards?

So do they still serve soda in the bars then?

Does the Oasis have them?

Thank you for the very detailed information and picturesque photos. Seems like you have a great amount of knowledge on Labadee. I'm headed there for the first in a few months, seems like these cabana's are very popular and I won't be fortunate enough to get one. Do they have umbrellas?

And the RR program includes fountain soda's?

My wife and I just got off of the Breakaway a few weeks ago, and we felt like the Oasis blew it out of the water.

I wonder when the RoyalIQ app will go live

 

 

 

Royal iQ is a new app that puts guests in charge of their vacation choices. Thanks to the dramatically improved connectivity, Royal iQ is able to continue dining reservations, shore excursions and spa appointments onboard, through both a downloadable app and at freestanding iQ stations around the ship. Guests also can use Royal iQ as a convenient calendar that provides at-a-glance views of their program and to keep in touch with one another and home via phone and text capabilities.

So, you'll be able to call and text people outside of the ship with Royal IQ? Norwegian had something very similar on the Breakaway, but calls and texts were restricted to people on the ship.

For what it's worth, we just got off of Norwegian's Breakaway which is fairly new and it was quite noisy.

It was my understanding that Cupcake Cupboard was moved to the boardwalk.

We went on an older ship a few years ago, and the stateroom we stayed in was right below the pool and you could hear people dragging their chairs and lounges. We decideded to avoid booking rooms directly below the pool area, but we are now booked in a stateroom right below the pool on the Breakaway.

Yes. On our Jade cruise of the Med four years ago, the ship overnighted in Alexandria, Egypt, a port call that is (was) intended to give pax the opportunity to stay overnight in Cairo/Giza, which is three hours by car (each way) from the port. Along with some others from our Roll Call, we booked a two-day private excursion, and stayed overnight in Giza at the Oberoi Mena House, right near the Pyramids.

 

Other than for something like this (where you are touring several hours away from the ship), it's hard to see why one would opt for a hotel rather than the ship. Do you have something specific in mind?

No particular reason, but we're going to be in Bermuda for 3 days and I'm just thinking about staying in a beach front resort if the price is reasonable rather booking a bunch of shore excursions. Which may seem controversial to some considering the cruise is already payed for, but how many times will i get a chance to visit Bermuda. Anyways just thinking out loud.

Has anyone stayed in a resort or a hotel while overnighting in port on a cruise?
