I wonder if they're also adding the helpful intranet that's on the Royal/Regal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they're also adding the helpful intranet that's on the Royal/Regal? Yeah but when they did it onboard it was a mess and very intrusive to passengers. I hope they don't do it that way anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes & it was also being done during our January b2b four day cruises on the Sapphire plus they were filming commercials for the Asian market which fortunately neither one adversely affected our experience.

I hope they don't do it that way anymore.We were onboard for four days during the installation on the Sapphire and it didn't impact our cruise even though there were workers in our corridor and boxes in the hallways.

Hope Caribbean Princess will have it by next summer. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were in and out of my cabin several times, no TV during the cruise since they couldn't get it to work properly. You could turn the TV on but not navigate to anything. The blue flashing light was very annoying at night and they had to put black electrical tape in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
