I have a cute one packed for Saturday for St Patricks Day on Sky, I’ll move it inside if told to do so.

He may need to go and scan in and then she replaces him without making a show about it.

It’s an Elite perk so not really transferrable.

We will be sailing one week in Sapphire in June. How the self service laundry to be used? Should we bring coins and detergent from home or use creditcards? What is the cost of using the self service laundry and dryer?

Thanks

You charge to your Medallion and it dispenses tokens.

detergent is sold through the same manner.

I think it is $3.00 for each.

Scroll through, includes pics

Hi all - is the Park 19 - Family Fun Zone running and working?

No. I saw a youtube video and they had a team member standing by to answer questions

Noro generally spreads among elderly people very quickly due to several reasons.
They have weaker immune systems due to age primarily.

The majority of people with a normal healthy immune system will not be floored by Noro....they will, however, if they are super sanitised and have weakened themselves that way.

Buffets dont cause Norovirus

I spent a month on the CB and the people I knew who got Noro were in their 40’s and it wasn’t pretty.

to mitigate the spread Princess had staff serve in the Buffet.

The average buffet is perfectly safe for everyone.

Now what we have happening now is people are becoming petrified of all normal human germs and are doing everything in their power to stop contracting any whatsoever.
Sanitising everything all the time is only harming you.......so that when you DO ingest a germ you will get much sicker, much quicker than someone like me who doesnt do all those things because my body is used to it.

It staggers me that most people just cannot grasp this concept. The more germs you take on, the LESS sick youll become.

Noro? It happens often on ships and I’m sure they are trying to counteract that especially with these first few cruises.

That would be a PR Nightmare.

Is there a way to pay for princess excursions with a princess gift card?  On the website, it appears to only allow me to either pay with a credit card or paypal.

You can also call Princess and be directed to the Excursion team

Actually, I think that you have much more wasted food with self serve.  We’ve all see those folks who pile their plates high with everything imaginable, take a few bites of each item then leave.  The wastage is horrendous.  If someone else is handing you food, you will tend to downsize and choose only what you really want.  Also, you’ll not be taking the other guy’s germs from the serving spoon back to your table.

Ha! What you described is my WORST nightmare

Seems what looked like a mini sofa in the renderings is an ottoman 😂

We have had this many times, especially last year on the CB when Noro was everywhere. 
It works fine and helps not spread illness.

It looks more like what Holland America has with its distant lands.

it works quite well on Holland, less lines in fact

Anyone who books interiors, it seems they brought back the outer bunkbeds instead of the ceiling ones on Sky and Enchanted.

Something to watch out for.

But with the frustration the OP is experiencing. 

 

The TA earned a commission. They should be helping when he's obviously having difficulty.

Agreed

Why isn't your TA handling this for you? 

Travel Agents aren’t necessarily a necessity in 2024 when Princess “supposedly” gives you all the tools to book. 
 

The reservations for The Sun don’t seem to be open as far in advance  as other ships currently.

I’m sailing March 29th and they opened 2 days ago. 
Be patient, they will open.

I just looked at the Deck 8 American Diner menu, which apparently doesn't change all cruise. Yikes. I might enjoy that style of food occasionally, but not on a regular basis. Is Deck 8 the one that is only walk up? We were thinking of going that route, but not if we're faced with American diner food on a regular basis. 

No.

That would be Deck 6 or 7

Great late breakfast option.

They are showing a White Medallion on my app for our upcoming cruise on the Coral....certainly not an inaugural cruise and I'm not a first time cruiser.  So what gives?
Strangely, my hubby's is correct?

The App has a glitch but it doesn’t affect your medallion or onboard status. 
It will affect your discount for wifi if trying to purchase through the App w/o a pkg prior. (You wld need to call)

You can call to have it fixed but it’s a  PIA and doesn’t mean it won’t revert back to white in the near future. 

The fresh mint Martini on the rocks, worth a try
