Sky Princess Patter dining guide from this time last year.

I bought some as low as 9.95 and more on other dips. Glad to see things are looking up.

We picked our seats in first/business with American. It showed in AAdvantage just like a regular booking. We like the second row, starboard.

Just received second refund. Both took less than 5 weeks. Pleasantly surprised. I cancelled one (Discovery won't be delivered in time) and they cancelled one.

1997 for us. The winner was on the flight back to Dallas with us. She was screaming bloody murder because AA wouldn't allow her to bring the huge trophy on the plane with her. They made her check it as baggage. Flight was delayed while they sorted out her drama.

Mahjong tournament on Celebrity was a pain. Public rooms were used. It's been many years but I always search the date in an attempt to find these surprises. mahjonggcruises.com/

Grandiosa is underway to Naples.

Sail away video just posted on Crew Center. Oops. I see there is a separate thread for the sail away video.

Divinia and Grandiosa and berthed nose to nose. I'll bet the crew on both are excited!

I couldn't find a webcam for Civitavecchia but the Costa Deliziosa has a bridge cam, pointed towards the Divinia and Grandiosa. Second image is from Costa Diadema aft cam, pointed at the Grandiosa.

Under way on MarineTraffic. Woo Hoo!

Five day cruise from Ft. Lauderdale in 2014 on the Celebrity Constellation in the port side Penthouse (2,530 sq.ft). Pre-cruise night at the Ritz. We didn't go ashore at either port call and rarely left the suite. The butler served every meal in the room. Wonderful decompression getaway. This was back before the pricing went to $3,000 per day for this suite.

The Grand is the only Princess ship I have sailed twice (2003 and 2012). I loved the size. We have our eye on the 4-day out of Southampton on April 30. Probably overly optimistic but fingers-crossed. I'm afraid the Grand and the Pacific may not be around much longer.
