To 3 smith boys. Hello, glad you enjoyed the Mardi Gras. We have sailed three times on her but for the life of me I cannot remember the two formal nights on a 7 day. Rule of thumb used to be first sea day but 1st and 2nd days are sea days. 
friends that are with us really want to know. Hoping you can help. Thank you!!

Thanks for the replies. Any other advice, or not to be missedthings you can think of ?

Do you think it will be too foggy up there (ANP and CM) the end of October? I think I'm there Halloween. Thank you! Also any recommendations for a great casual lobster restaurant. I have 2 recommendations so far. 1. Gaylyns.

2. West Street Cafe. Has anyone been to either of these Restaurants?

Thank You.

We have done Old Town Trolly Tours twice and just booked again for October. On-line price for 2 seniors was $71.74 This is a wonderful 19 stop HOHO. There is nothing you won't get to see. I highly recommend them. I actually phoned them and the price is better than what showed online.

The Old Town Trolly picks up at the pier, so no transportation needed to get to the stop. They emailed me my ticket and said print it or just show driver your phone.

Does anyone know if they will have a CT on a 6 night cruise. We sail tomorrow on the CB for 6 nights Roatan, BElize City and Cozumel.

I also disembarked on Monday. One of my best experiences on Princess so far. I agree with

Previous poster. Beds were super comfy, Food was exceptional. I also ate at the Salty Dog Pub and it was excellent. The maitre' d, Sammir made the experience especially pleasant. We also ate in The CROWNE Grill. No surprise here, excellent food and service as always.

Yes there was Gelato at the IC

The fire incident was super scary to me as I was traveling alone, but Captain Forteze did an awesome job keeping us all informed and calm.

Just off her this morning. Never noticed any vibrations. Occasional public restroom outage but there were a lot of young people on board so maybe?? There were notices to please not flush the brown paper towels.

We really had a very pleasant cruise I would not hesitate to sail again tomorrow.

In Princess's defense they were constantly working on her. Varnishing, painting, chipping paint etc. Someone told me that they replaced the night stands and bedside lamps in their cabin.

On a side note, the children on this cruise were extremely well behaved. We never had an issue with them at all. Totally different from a Spring Break cruise.

Thank you soo much. We got e425 on the CB which is a fabulous upgrade from an inside IF category

I think we can live with this view but more importantly, location, location,location.

I Love it!

Good for you! Great location. If you are curious as to just how "obstructed" your view will be, you can do a search here on CC to find out. One of the members has nicely created a website with pics looking from the inside out the windows showing the views from many Princess obstructed cabins. I don't think we are supposed to post links, or I would have done it.

OK to post the link.

would love to have that link. Thanks to you both.

UPDATE So yesterday at 4 days til sailing we received our cabin assignment. We booked lowest caregory inside gty and received a mid grade inside. I was perfectly happy with the cabin we got.

Then today, I went on the Personalizer and we were upgraded to OV midship cat. OV right at the Panoramic elevators. Couldn't be happier. We took a chance and this time it really worked out.

Well, don't get me wrong.....we love a balcony but this is my 3rd cruise this year. I am booked in a Balcony on a TA in October. Don't think I could do 15 days with no daylight.

We are going to try it. We always booked a balcony so DH could enjoy an after dinner cigar in the evenings but since that is no longer possible. We will give an inside a try.

I agree the OV isn't typically that much more but we booked this last minute, two weeks ago and the way the price was structured and with FCCs it was VERY affordable. I'll let you all know what we end up with. Happy to be sailing.

Thanks for all the well wishes. We are platinum but we have always booked a GTY Balcony in the past and just as you said, have always been upgraded in that same type but in a better category.

It is all good and any day at sea is a happy day for me. Just thinking if I could live with an inside cabin I might be able to do a few more each year.

Sailing Saturday on the CB, no cabin assignment yet. Checking the Personalizer often, no.... very often. We usually do book a guarantee to take advantage of the great offers, but we never got an assignment this late.

The worst that could happen is we get the category we booked, so we hope for the best.

Wineaux, just to let you know that after looking over your SP Restaurant suggestions I emailed SPBC regarding a CC pre-cruise dinner. I recieved a lovely email from them saying they would put out appetizers for us to start off and that they would also give us a tour. What a very nice gesture. Thanks for all of your wonderful info & suggestions.

By the way, any info on Sunseeker Tours? I have booked them post cruise.

Can anyone tell me their thoughts on Dolphin 734? I have not seen any comments on the Dolphin deck. It appears that the balcony is 1/2 covered & 1/2 open, is this the case? Thanks
