We board in two weeks! Look forward to following along!!!

You are still out of pocket $6,000. Princess is not giving you back any money, just letting you use your $6,000 to pay for the cruise in addition to the hotel.

No judging needed when one exits a standard stall or walks away from a urinal.....

It boggles my mind...how many men I see walking out of the restroom without washing their hands!! Or the people bypassing wash stations and hand sanitizer upon entering OV!!

Blind squirrel...meet nut! 😉

You're correct...my bad! Great line regardless!

In the immortal words of Bill Murray in Stripes....Lighten up Francis....🤣

Tough to avoid that Mast Bar area up there....

I don't know if making dining reservations starts a certain number of days out from your cruise. It seems to vary. I am booked on the Equinox in Jan 25 and Xcel in Nov 25, both are currently not offering dining yet. Yet I was able to make my Constellation Oct 24 dining reservations six months ago.

The beauty of living in Florida!

We've booked the second sailing for Thanksgiving! We'll let the work a few kinks out with you...😉

Always best to find a bank ATM. You will get the best exchange rate.

Very good. Thanks!

I've enjoyed following along! We will be onboard in April in a Reserve Mini-Suite and have been excited with the additional menu items you've noted! As well as your reviews/pics from The Catch! We've only been on Princess twice and have not looked into The Sanctuary. Is my understanding correct that all space needs to be reserved in advance? Is it a challenge getting reservations if you don't get there early on day 1?

Can't hurt to ask....

Most cruises will offer a 33% off FIRST NIGHT OF THE CRUISE promotion for Tuscan Grille. Check your cruise planner dining options for this. You may very well be offered a discount onboard for Le Petit Chef, especially if sales are light.

Emma, I am glad to hear your symptoms remain mild and all goes well for your release Sunday! Hopefully Princess takes good care of you! I feel your pain as my wife and I were on the Celebrity Silhouette last June in the UK and Iceland. She started feeling crappy on an excursion in Iceland. We self-tested and sure enough...the ship tested and confirmed. They didn't charge anything then, but times may have changed with respect to Covid on the ships these days. We eve received a prorated refund for the remaining days of the cruise. Look forward to seeing your future posts on how your isolation goes and your renewed posts once you get back out there!

Okay...I will be the one to ask... Did you pack Covid tests to check yourself or have the ship's medical staff administer one? I hope you feel better quickly to get back to your vacation! Enjoying following along as I will be sailing on the ship in April!

I have not had the Zero Proof package, but the other packages will list the venue the item was purchased with a "$0" dollar amount.

I believe I read that the "test" ends August 20th. Just in time for my Equinox sailing on the 27th...to hopefully be terminated.

I was on the B2B for the first Alaska sailing of the season and Canada Place was a cluster f%^k according those boarding. I would suggest arriving later (1;30 or 2:00) if you don't want a long wait in the terminal.

Got off the Eclipse 5/28 and they did get Zacapa for the WCB in Ketchikan, so we had it the last couple of nights!

This will be our first time we'll have had more than 2 consecutive sea days....I'm sure we'll be spending many hours looking for them! We did Alaska on the Eclipse back in 2019 and saw quite a few whales while sitting out on deck. You'll be able to spot me around the ship, probably wearing a Tampa Bay Rays or Lighting hat.

I am also enjoying following along. We will be joining you in Honolulu and then continuing on the Alaska sailing. I look forward to possibly meeting you onboard!

Correct, no charge for continental breakfast.
