After 4 days of mostly cool and cloudy skies, the sun has arrived! The pool is hopping! We arrive in Hilo on Wednesday.

On the Emerald two days from Hawaii...

@chubbypiggy The sauna/steam (The Enclave) is no longer free. It is $299 pp for the entire voyage.

Morning of day 5. A bit warmer, no breeze, calm seas. There are definitely more folks at the pool at this hour, 8:30 am.

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience! We will be on the Enchanted for our 1st time on the Nov 12th, 26 day Med/TA.

Tonight's quaff, Spellbound Petite Sirah.

Looks like a room service delivery, except for the pizza.

I thought I would do another speed test now that we are in the middle of the Pacific.

@Cruise frenzy The top three passengers on this voyage: #1- 2,842 sea days #2- 1,457 sea days #3- 1,152 sea days The cut-off for the MTG Luncheon was 585 sea days.

Morning of Day 4. Still overcast, breezy and cool. At least the seas are calm.

I will check tomorrow morning, just returned to our cabin from my daily workout in the Fitness Center. Debbie is going to the 8:15 am Zumba class in the Vista Lounge.

Can someone change the DRO on the Emerald from Rui to Carlos Marques. For some reason the copying of the chart is not working for me onboard. Thank you!

Can you tell where we are???

Yesterday we checked fares on two of our 2024 cruises. On the April 10th, Majestic sailing our fare went down $1,200 pp (we lost $150 OBC). Our October 19th, Coral sailing our fare went down $400 pp. Our TA was able to re-fare both existing bookings. Score! 🙂

We have done this exact thing when are kids were young, worked out great.

Enjoy your cruise! The Regal is one of our favorite Princess ships.

I remember that when our kids were young. They changed that a few years ago. Their Medallion color now reflects their current Captain Circle status.

Will do as soon as I get the numbers...

The sun has made an appearance!

This morning we received our invitation to the MTG Luncheon. Btw, the weather turned breezy and chilly. Not pool weather for sure, but the kids do not mind.

This morning the seas are calm, the temperature warmer, skies still cloudy.

Last night we started our evening in Vines at around 5 pm. Shortly after sitting the Captain came out of the HGM's office, which is directly behind Vines. He made a point to walk around Vines and speak to all of the passengers. He asked how everyone was enjoying the cruise and posed for several photos. He is extremely charismatic and patient. At 7 pm we were off to dinner. At the table next to us are a married couple that are both Princess Corporate employees. We met them several years ago at a Winemaker's dinner on the Majestic. The Captain walked in as he was dining with the Princess employees. The Captain recognized us from Vines and came to our table. He spoke to us for at least 10 minutes focusing on a conversation with our granddaughter. Our granddaughter was most impressed! After dinner, we made our way to the Wheelhouse bar to listen to the "Cool Duo." Not so cool. We recognized them from previous cruises. Their music abilities are good it is just the husband (they are husband and wife) gives a 10 minute history lesson about each song before performing the song. Total buzz kill! We were off to the Vista Lounge where our granddaughter had signed up to sing her first song at a karaoke venue. She sang a very cute version of Katy Perry's "Fight Song." She was so excited afterwards, she said her legs were still shaking. So cute!
