Online deck plan sites state there is  2000 volume library on Promenade Deck.

Looked on Princess site, but can't find a Library on Prom. Deck.

Would like to not bring my Kindle , if possible.

Anyone clarify for me?

Thanks, Joanne

Lady Arwen,

Can you please explain how you were able to book specialty dining without being charged.

We do not have a package, just a regular booking.

Thanks

When the post cruise bus transfer to FCO information is announced, can you please post the price.  And the earliest bus departure time if listed.

Appreciate it.

Joanne

Thank you, I will book now and follow your advice to cancel rebook onboard.

Joanne

While trying to reserve Ssbatini's for May 25 cruise, it required payment to book it.

Our Travel agent gifted it to us.  But there is no place to insert this in the booking form.

Anyone have experience with this?   Suggestions?I really don't want to call Princess if I can avoid it.

Thanks,

Joanne

We have never ordered one.  As recently as last month, we received one upon embarkation. Very easy.

Enjoy your cruise.

Like free internet, being able to exchange bar for coffee gone.  

On Crown last month, had to call for mini bar when it hadn't arrived by second day.

Had a massage last night, 4:30p.m., then relaxed in cabin for the evening to let the oils work their magic.

Hint:. If you attend the Lotus Spa ladies pamper party where you do your own mini facial, they discount the 75 min. Swedish massage to 149, plus the 18 percent tip.  I thought it was a good deal.

Arrived in robe, naked.  Merry was very discreet, using towels to cover private lady bits.

She was very flattering, thought I was 60ish, I'm 82. Made my day.

Enjoy!

Joanne

A question for those more tech knowledgeable than me.

Do you have to be connected to the internet to read books on a Kindle?

I was very disappointed to not see a Library on the Sun. Maybe I should get a Kindle.  Not sure it would work onboard without Internet service.

Appreciate all information.  Thanks

Just had a marathon reading session of over 6 hours.  Wow!  What a wonderful review.  Will be on  the Crown to Hawaii in Jan. and have made notes of which foods to choose.  

I just have to say I really would have liked to see a photo of you all enjoying the cruise. Maybe in Sabstini's? The bears were cute, but I'm a people person.

Again, thank you.

Joanne

Suzyed, we don't drink so never approached any bars.

Don't know if Princess figured out who it was.

In Jan to Hawaii, someone charged drinks to our cabin three times.  Went to guest services and they removed the charges.  

Be vigilant.

Joanne

Yes!  Booked Marina, Inside, Venice to Miami.

Met the GM at the CC meeting who was very personable.  After I figured there were several balcony suites empty, I approached him and asked if he could give us a complimentary upgrade. Viola! Moved to a Lovely balcony.  My philosophy is it doesn't hurt to ask.

Also happened in 2021 on Seabourn.  One of their first cruises after vivid and there were only about 70 pax.  We had booked the least expensive suite.  The GM invited us to lunch and I asked if he could offer a comp. upgrade.  He checked with the powers that be and the next day we were in Penthouse Suite.  Again, doesn't hurt to ask.

So try it, all they can say is no and you are still onboard a wonderful ship having a great time.

Joanne

Can someone please explain how to apply for the OBC benefit online.

Last year I mailed everything and it was lost.  Had to mail it again.

Thanks in advance.

Joanne

BTW The laundromats are free, detergent included.

Do you by any chance know the transfer price from NYC Manhattan terminal to JFK?

What's a redeployment rate?

How does one get it?

Thanks

TKS,

Just curious as to how you got all 3 OLife perks.  

Have I missed something?

Thanks if you can clarify for me.

Joanne

Hi Fred,

Also requesting OBC SB info.

Thanks in advance.

LuAnn,

Sorry to hear about Kenneth.  We were Trivia team mates on the cruise that your luggage disappeared from your driveway.

John and I are still enjoying cruising.

I did attend the talk Paul gave on one cruise.  Very informative.  Will miss his posts here.

Joanne and John

Is there an email address to send Shareholder statement for upcoming cruise?

Last Carnival cruise was in 1978 on the Mardi Gras for our honeymoon.

Thanks.

Joanne

We flew home on Air Canada via Toronto on Sunday with no problems except lost luggage.  Finally showed up on Wednesday.

Joanne

What time do you clear customs? What time is your check-in  time?  Maybe you can just go on to the ship?

We arrived a day early, stayed in a hotel and had a 1p.m. check-in time.  When we arrived we were the second couple and had a Covid test, waited 15? minutes and were escorted onboard with champagne in hand.  John jokingly asked where his Pina Colada was, and when we arrived in the suite Steven was there shortly with two of them.  Wow!  That's service.

I loved the Odyssey, everything was perfect.

Joanne

Hi Borna,

Can you please check with the new pax.  if they had any problems on arrival at BGI.  Especially anyone who arrived on Saturday, as we are on the following cruise, the 7th.

So enjoying your posts, especially the Heralds.

Joanne

Hi Borna,

So glad you arrived safely and thank you for your updates.

Can you please evaluate the C.D.

Have you played Trivia?  What are the prizes?

How many onboard?

Any tips, suggestions for a first time Seabourn cruiser.

Thanks, Joanne
