That doesn't bode well for Premiere and Plus people hoping to take advantage of the specialty dining options built into the package they paid for. What kind of scam is Princess running here!?

Someone in their group reported it's a medical emergency

In terms of the upcoming 2024 season, it's a case of whether your cruise line (not you) booked the itinerary before the referendum vote (ie Nov 8, 2022). So if Royal Caribbean, for instance, had the paperwork for your cruise with a Bar Harbor stop "on the books" before that November 2022 vote, that ship's Bar Harbor stop would be grandfathered in. If your cruise line (not you) booked the itinerary after Nov. 8, 2022, theoretically, you would be unable to stop there. And yes, any appeal by the plaintiffs would probably keep the cruise season open while it's worked out in the courts. Some interesting insights on Sea Trade Cruise News including a quote from a Holland America rep saying all their 2024 cruises will go on as they were locked down before the town vote.

Has anyone attended a formal Princess book club lately? (One where Princess selects the book title for that quarter and provides multiple copies of it in the ship libraries?) I'm guessing from this notice on the main website it might be another program that's bit the dust.

Well no wonder you can't afford a 20k suite!

I can meet you at the port and play your grandchild for the week if you'd like! 😝

Thanks, very helpful review of the ship!

Thanks, good point. Plans are to take my tea ball infuser to the Windjammer at breakfast and steep using their hot water. Discard the used leaves from the infuser into a napkin or a to-go cup and toss as normal buffet trash. No worse than disposing a tea bag. But you're right, I might want to enjoy a cup on the balcony for which I'll need to employ a mindful disposal plan. (That is, if I didn't get denied boarding for contraband! 🙂 ) Thanks everyone for your thoughts on this.

Has anyone here ever tried to bring loose tea leaves onboard a Royal ship? I would like to start the day with the tea I enjoy, rather than steeping the mass produced teabags available onboard, but fear being called down to the bad boy room suspected of being a pot smuggler! Any experience with this. Serious replies only please! 😁
