Frugalist Posted October 29, 2013 #51 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Join us on her in Feb! :D(And if you were on her you'd miss that wonderful suite you'll be in soon! ;) ) I know. I'm so torn. Yes, we'll be on the Golden in 3 days. Yes, our first cruise in a suite. But only for 3 days. Such a tease! But then we'll be on the Crown for 7 days in December. I guess we'll just have to enjoy the Royal vicariously through your reports. :) By the way, what's that black helicopter that keeps circling the Royal? At first I thought it was a TV helicopter. But it's staying with the Royal for a long time. A gubmint 'copter? But why? I've never seen that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably chartered by Princess Cruises to get footage of her first daylight Sail Away from Fort Lauderdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted October 29, 2013 #54 Share Posted October 29, 2013 We're sailing north right up the east coast of south Florida. The helicopter is still circling overhead. I think this was the cruise that a British documentary team was going to be on, so perhaps it's related to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frugalist Posted October 29, 2013 #55 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Probably chartered by Princess Cruises to get footage of her first daylight Sail Away from Fort Lauderdale. Ah! Never thought of that. Makes sense though. Especially since the Royal has been taking a very unusual course since leaving the channel. A big circular course! I think you're right.

ramman Posted October 29, 2013 #56 Share Posted October 29, 2013 she seems to be just cirlcing out there and with the helicopter going around her, I hope there is not something amis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor'swife Posted October 29, 2013 #57 Share Posted October 29, 2013 It was so fun to hear the ship's horn play first two lines of "Loveboat" theme as she entered the channel!! :) Wish all Princess ships would once again do same--as the theme used to be played "back in the day" as my daughter says!! (Or they did on the original Crown Princess in 1993, at any rate.):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this was the cruise that a British documentary team was going to be on, so perhaps it's related to that.The ITV crew were onboard for the Maiden Passage and will be on for several weeks. Our table at the CC luncheon was interviewed/filmed for about 15-20 minutes during the lunch. Afterwards, I noticed them throughout the ship (they were the few without gray hair or wrinkles so were easy to spot, nevermind their huge cameras. :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching you all sail east from my condo in Pompano Beach (north of Fort Lauderdale) - can't wait for 'our turn' in December! Wishing all a wonderful cruise.

But it's staying with the Royal for a long time. A gubmint 'copter? But why? I've never seen that before. When we were on the Grand in Hawaii in April a helicopter was flying very close to the ship for quite a while on day. There was finally an announcement that they were filming for Princess ads or catalogs. Then everyone came out on their balconies to wave at them.

Pam in CA Posted October 30, 2013 #69 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) The SanctuaryAhh... the Sanctuary. Under no definition is it a solarium which is probably why I didn't recognize the location. In any case, to book for the length of your cruise, head directly to the Sanctuary and book there. The reason is that you select "your" lounger from those still available and only the person in charge of the Sanctuary has that information. To book for the morning, afternoon or by the day, get there by 8am. Otherwise, all the loungers may be booked.

lynwar Posted October 30, 2013 #70 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hi Gang, I was watching on the Webcams, too, and noticed that helicopter and then saw the ship turn in a circle. I also thought it was going back to port and then saw it go straight. The camera crews are going to be on our November 17 cruise, too. It was nice to hear the horn as it was going through the channel, although I remember the song "Time To Say Goodbye" by Andrea Boccelli was featured on a few of them sometime ago. I think I missed something, as I thought the Royal Princess had been in already, but then I didn't see her last night. It was good to see her today! March Babe, we will be enjoying her in a few weeks. Are you ready?? LOL. Bye for now. I know I'll be following this thread to read all the details and hear about the excitement. Bye for now.
