Okay. Usually in other cruise lines and possibly NCL as well, in the library there's a cabinet that contains stacks of playing cards. Unlike the books in which you are expected to sign out and return, for playing cards passengers usually just usually take it and keep it with the implicit assumption that they are for the free taking.

What were the prizes for first, second, and third? When I played this on another sailing, one of the buttons malfunctioned.

Yeah, a real bummer that the Royal Princess skipped Juneau on September 18. Fortunately for me I sailed on the September 9, 2023 sailing and the weather was decent in Juneau in September 11 which allowed the ship to dock.

Thanks for sharing these great pictures. I will be sailing aboard the Celebrity Infinity next May 2024 and I look forward to seeing these great places in Greece. I do have a few questions about this picture though as I'm a little confused about it. You mentioned that it was NOT your anniversary. So does it mean that this gift and card was for somebody else who was celebrating their 12th anniversary? Or if this card and gift was for you, then how did your Concierge get your personal information and assume that it was your 12th anniversary? Did they get your information after your conversation with the Concierge the day before according to you? The main reason I ask is because I will be celebrating my anniversary and I'd like to see what options are to celebrate it and receiving such a card and gift is always a nice gesture and I'd like to know what you had to do to receive this gift.

What did you think about the awarded prizes as a result of winning trivia games and other contests? I liked the variety as in my 2022 Panama Canal sailing, I won: 1. Blue Emerald Princess coasters. 2. Blue Princess Notebooks. 3. Gray Princess bags. 4. Champagne bottles. 5. Princess medals.

If you played in trivia contests, what were the prizes?

Thanks for sharing your prizes from Carnival and Royal Caribbean. I won several awards as well from RCCL and Carnival.

Excellent pictures, Trish Traveler. To complement your great pictures, a picture of my own when I was on the Emerald Princess from Dec. 3-17, 2023 as I noticed that none of your pictures include the awards and prizes. Did you participate in the trivia and sports contests? For me, I played numerous trivia games and was also part of Progressive Trivia and I fnished 3 out of 20 teams. I managed to win several items of the five different awards presented: 1. Blue Emerald Princess coaster. 2. Blue Princess notebook. 3. Gray Princess bag. 4. Bottle of Champagne. 5. Princess medal. Did you win any of these awards?

Was there a galley tour available for everybody? Or was it only for certain passengers. On my sailing, on the there was no galley tour - at least not which was announced on the daily platter.

Have you been playing in any of the trivia games or sports contests? If you have, then have you won any of the assorted prizes? I was in the 12/3/22 - 12/18/22 sailing from Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles and managed to win at least one of the five prizes offered: 1. Blue Princess Coaster (most common) 2. Blue Princess Notebook 3. Gray Princess Bag 4. Champagne Bottles 5. Princess medals (hardest to get and may only be awarded in sports contests) Attached are the assorted prizes. As a challenge, try to win at least one of each award.

I had no problems with outlets and the typical North American outlets were available in my cabin.

So nice and generous for winning this. When I won progressive trivia on Royal Caribbean, I just got those assorted items listed in my original post. I suppose receive pens, bags, and cups are more practical than a trophy, but a trophy always looks prestigious along with medals.

Just wondering, what year was that? Is that sailing mentioned on your signature?

I suppose you don't stay up late then? Going east to west is always better as you gain an hour of sleep three times as opposed to losing a total of three hours of sleep going the other way. I see you took a few pictures of the parade. How about the baked alaska cake itself?

That's good and very practical. Everytime you have coffee with these mugs, you will remember your great cruise.
