When is Majestic going into dry dock?

The email was - “The Bid Upgrade for your Stateroom to Club Class mini suite, mini suite, premier balcony”.

I have not had an upgrade Bid Offer email before. Before when you paid for an upgrade, I had a couple. I had a downgrade offer from balcony to inside for Feb 2024 cruise, I was too late to reply with no internet.

I am going solo in a balcony on Carib deck with 75 days to sailing. Today, I received an email asking if I wanted to upgrade Bid. I am not interested in Bidding. Do you think they want my balcony cabin as there are only a few cabins left?

I have been in August 2x, short sleeves, long pants. One port, could have used shorts, it was hot. When I went at the end of May 2022, rain, wore spring jackets the whole time. You never know what the weather will be, do layers can always take off or add. I remember for Alaska in August, I checked the weather channel the week before, it predicted rain and cold the whole week. I brought heavy clothing. It never rained and was hot.

Unsweetened ice tea, milk, water, tea, coffee free in dining room. In the buffet, can get free lemonade, unsweetened ice tea, coffee, water, milk, in the morning juice. I don’t know if you can get lemonade in dining room. In the morning, can get juice in the dining room, I don’t know if you can get juice in the evening.

End of May and beginning of June of 2022, I did 7 day Norwegian Fjords on the Sky, stayed on the Sky and did 7 day Scandinavia.

Looking forward to your review. Everyone can use some tips, no matter how many times you sail.

His iPad. You swipe your medallion as you enter the dining room, then he looks at his iPad to see where there is an empty table. They used to use paper chart that had a plastic over it and would mark a table off with a washable marker. He might need a tablet for his head the first night on any cruise as passengers don’t know where to go.

If you like Princess, take out a Future Cruise Deposit for $100 CDN from your credit card that you used for the cruise. You do not need to decide now for a new cruise, you have one year to book if not used refund to credit card. You get OBC depending on length of cruise and cabin category. Visit Future Cruise desk and fill in form and drop in box there, or on TV/app.

Every time you enter the any of dining rooms, you swipe your medallion and the maitre would look at his tablet.

Alfredo’s is walk up and they will sit you. Depending on time, there might be a line.

There is a limited amount of seats at the air line counter area. A lot of people sitting on the floor with their luggage waiting for their airline counter to open up.

Take a ship post cruise excursion, you won’t have too long a wait before you able to check in.

I had another passenger thank me for my cabin door decoration, he said “I see your door and know I am on the right side”.

I have a 3 day cruise Vancouver to San Francisco on the Ruby. Princess post cruise excursion is $75. I stay on the Ruby to have a 16 day cruise San Francisco to San Francisco. The same post cruise excursion is now $139. The description of the 2 post cruise excursion is the same. Why a higher price16 days later for the same excursion???

I did this cruise June 4, 2022 on the Sky. Loved the ports.

Was that your first time eating in the dining room?

Yes, he thought everywhere took US$. They were upset and talked about it for a while at the dinner table that night. It looked like that they were older couple and did not travel much.

On my 2015 British Isle cruise, our dining table mates, an older couple was telling us while on an excursion they had stopped at a small cafe for a lunch. He tried to pay in US$ and was told only £ cash. The wife stayed at the cafe and the husband went to the post office to get the £ cash.

Just ask they will bring to you in buffet and dining room. Dining room has a full vegetarian menu, just ask for it.

You never know what Princess will take away from the Elite, don’t give an idea.

I purchased online and printed the places I wanted to see while in London and also had the Oyster card. I only needed money for restaurants. See if Buckingham Palace is open while you are there.

I remember in August 2015, after going through the security machine like at the airports - belts off, empty pockets, bags, walk through, I checked my backpack (I think, they must have giving me some kind of ticket) and after exiting the Palace, down some stairs, one side had a small tent cafe and other side I picked up my backpack. They had moved the bags from the entrance to the exit. No bathrooms in the Palace for the public. There are public bathrooms on the way out of the Palace grounds.

I have the virgin dairy banana- 1/2 a banana, cream, chocolate sauce, ice in a bender. It is like a chocolate milkshake.
