We  arrive intLondon heathrow the Wednesday  morning before our Saturday departure.   Don’t have any plans on missing the boat, worst case we miss a  day of sightseeing.

Now this is just a guess. I bottle of that great Champagne the boys make fresh every Tuesday in the boiler room the one you get for winning one of the trivia games.😋

Tony you know the good stuff is made in the engine room 🙂🤣

also  keep in mind the number of passengers you have  including luggage and any wheel chairs you might have , After considering everything make your  choice

Low resolution or high resolution?

midline,  good for  sharing,  havent  tried printing because  we always got all the pictures as well

Check carefully what you get with the "unlimited" photos.  You only get 3 prints, the rest of the unlimited photos are digital.  We got the digital photos with our Renewal of Vows package and the digital photos were in a video slide show.  None of the photos could be viewed separately or copied or printed at home.

we've purchased the unlimited pictures in the past and got  digital files,  all single pictures.

PCL has always offered various photo packages.  No one posts about those much at all here.  Not very exciting I suppose.

sure they  have  the 5 and  10 picture one,   in the past  we  purchased the all inclusive picture package,  which we throughly enjoyed

will  the photo package be available to buy  separately?  DH and I don't drink a lot of the high priced  drinks, and really are only interested in the unlimited photos

My Son  and DIL  took a cruise for their Honeymoon in January of 2019. they  were 22 and 21 at the time.  Son had  cruised on princess previously  so  was  used  to it,  and love Princess already.  They  had  a great time.   they  cruised in January  to the  Caribbean.   

One  word of  warning and advice.   remind them NOT to sigh up  for the marriage  game, unless they  want to be embarrassed,   They  will have a  great time

there is  a charge for  the  cheese tray when ordering through the medallion  app ( at least there was in November  when we were on board the crown) 

I  agree with the others,  go make your own in the buffet if possible

Was there a choice of J in the PB&J?

no   ,  it was  grape or  strawberry  lots of pb and  jelly.   

While we were on the crown in November I ordered a pb&j from the ocean medallion.  I also asked for a glass of ice cold milk.   It was very yummy ( I’m in my 50’s, it was my birthday and it was what i wanted for lunch….  

I may be on the Caribbean sometime this summer….. ( still in the planning stage with a few people).

At the Crown Grill, as stated above, there is an extra charge of $10 for a second entree.  They also charge that same $10 extra for the Surf and Turf which is a lobster tail and a filet, making it two entrees.  It was well worth the extra charge.

 

I am not a fan of the Crown Grill's appetizers, and never had even one of them, let alone two, but I do not think there is an extra charge for multiple appetizers or soup/ salads.  Sauteed mushrooms is a regular side dish on the menu, but we had that only once and did not finish it.

But their French onion soup  is  so very yummy.... ( although I cant  eat it because they add tomato paste in the broth and I'm allergic  to  tomatoes)

I  found  a small one at amazon.   it is  battery/ USB powered,  It kept my hubby happy

we  are on the  sky  at the end of  October,  reading your review with great interest,   curious  to hear if you have any opinions of the Haven

just off the sky,  we had to check them out and  check them back in   I guess they have an issue with  towel theft

It is POSSIBLE, that the problem wasn't the food, but the level of expectation? What exactly did you expect from a short get-away cruise?

Better than  we  got,  I  would  equate  the food level to that of  Golden Corral, Except there wasn't that much  variety

Next time, try other cruise ships.

If going back to Sky, try Le Bistro, The Local Bar & Grill, La Cucina.

I shouldn't have  to pay  more  for  good  food

Those 3 day cruises are booze cruises, most people probably don’t even make it for dinner, I doubt NCL is catering to a fine dining palette for 72 hours. 

It  was  what we  could  do timing wise, I understand the booze  cruise  mentality  but I still expect more than what we got.    

We ate once in the main dining room ( dinner),  Cagneys for our anniversary dinner and the buffet, because the menu hadn’t changed,   Meat wasn’t cooked as ordered and had no flavor,   Sent it back the first time because it was over cooked,   ( ordered rare and came out medium to medium well,  second time it was somewhere between medium rare and medium.

cagneys was so so,  we had complimentary dining, but was not worth what we would have been charged ala carte. 
dinner the last night in the buffet was seriously limited  .

lots of little things led to lots of disappointment 

Just off the sky  for a weekend  cruise.   The  food was mediocre at  best,  lots of little  things  but overall not  impressed.   I know food is  subjective, but  I was  expecting far better.

Thanks for the info. We are on the Emerald in May.

Jody has left the emerald at the end of her contract.  Not sure where she is off to next

JUst  as a heads up,  most  cars and  rentals  are  standard.  plus the  steering wheel is on the other side so you will be shifting with the opposite  hand   Add to that  driving on the other  side of the road
