ROYAL PRINCESS ~ January 12th, 2014, Caribbean

[KenC]

With 3600 pax there have got to be some 'friends' onboard!!!

 

Haven't done a Princess for years - what are they like these days???

 

Cheers :D

[KenC]

Any Royal Princesses out there??? :D

[KenC]

Only 3 months to go now - anyone???

[ZellBrad]

Hi Ken. My partner and I are cruising on the Royal Princess on January 12th. Will you be joining us on this cruise? We just booked last night.

[ZellBrad]

There are always FODs on board. :) we haven't been on a cruise for a couple years so were excited to go on another cruise. Are you cruising solo or bringing a better (or not so better) half?

Hi ZellBrad

 

I'm sailing with my partner Phill - it's our 30th cruise but only third on Princess. Staying in Key West for a week or so then flying up to Fort Lauderdale the day before. Where are you guys from?

 

As you say there are bound to be a scattering of FOD's on a 3600 pax list :D

 

Cheers

Sounds great! We are in very cold Kansas City. We will be in Ft Lauderdale a couple days before the cruise and I'm sure we will be ready for warm weather. :)

Wow, Kansas - the home of the original Dorothy LOL :D Sorry couldn't resist that :o

 

Did I read on the other rollcall that you have booked a mini suite? Great for parties eh??? We went for one of the metal fronted balconies on Emerald Deck because the balconies are two or three times the size of the norm and sometimes we like to chill out there during the afternoon.

 

It's cold for us in the UK now (around 37 deg F overnight on the south coast) - but I bet it's colder where you are. Really looking forward to some sunshine too. Brrr ..... bring on Florida! We own a bed and breakfast in Brighton so we can only get away for any length of time when it's quietest here, in January - other than that we only manage a few days here and there through the year.

 

Ken & Phill ;)

[ZellBrad]

Parties? Lol it's still a mini suite. :) We have been in full suites on Holland America and they were great for canapés and cocktails before dinner. Zell handles which room were in but I know were up high in the middle and have a larger balcony. I just can't remember. :) It will be great meeting you and yes we are for the land of Dorothy!

Twist my arm! We can have a small cocktail party. The balcony can hold a couple people

Do you have the big front balcony? Do you have access to it when were at sail? We are getting excited to see some sun and warmer weather! I'm in Bocca Raton all week next week and Zell is joining me for the weekend. Woo hoo!

No, we looked at those when booking but decided that having a balcony you couldn't use when at sea was a bit stupid. We're in E108 which is one of the balconies far forward with the metal fronts (as opposed to glass) - they are about 3 times bigger than standard balconies.

 

Lucky you getting away to Boca!! We have friends living just north in Highland Beach and have visited them a few times - love the shops there!!

 

Ken & Phill

[KenC]

Hey guys - how was Boca???

Hi Gary. Sorry for the delay responding, we've been away for a few days doing the Santa drop off stuff!! We're snow free so far this winter, fingers crossed it stays that way because the UK grinds to a halt at the least fall of the white stuff. We're staying in Key West for 8 days before the cruise and fly up to Fort Lala the day before, just in case.

 

Be good to meet up with you guys.

 

cheers

Hi Ken and Phyll ~ Ken, I saw that you were the last poster on this thread, so I thought I'd jump in to say *Hi* from Brent and me.

 

We may be in your area next September...going over on QM2 at the end of August and returning to NYC on the Princess Ruby. We have five days to spend 'over there' in between the sailings and may visit Brighton, but we haven't made any definite plans yet. If we do make it to Brighton we'll try to stop by to say *Hi* in person!

Hi Jack

 

Long time no speak!! It would be great to see you guys again - please feel free to drop by anytime. We are hoping to sell up this year and move to Spain but I have a nagging feeling that we may still be here in August. Our contact details are on our website http://www.brightonpavilions.com

 

Cheers
