Daisyloo Posted October 10, 2015 #127 Share Posted October 10, 2015 [quote name='need2cruisesoon']Wouldn't it be nice if Princess actually put either the Royal or the Regal on the west coast. I mean just think cruising a fairly new ship to one of the old tubs we have to settle with on the left coast.[/QUOTE] Aw, I feel bad for you! You should cruise out of FLL - lots of new ships!!

Are these opinions being given by people who regularly eat and enjoy veggie burgers or did you try one and decide you don't like veggie burgers? I'm asking because if the opinions are being shared by people who like garden burgers then I will take your advice and pass. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you[/QUOTE] My grandparents were vegetarian and I was semi raised as one. I love a good vegeburger. My grandmother made them based on oats and nuts. She also made her own gluten burgers too. The brand I prefer is morning star grilled original. I can't abide gardenburger. The princess version is their own recipe. There is a mushy brown base into which they mix beans corn chopped vegs. The outside is fried slightly crisp. The inside is tasteless mush. I guess someone must like them since they keep making them. But I would rather eat dog food.

It's 3:10 and the ship just experienced a power failure so only emergency lighting...hopefully it won't happen after sailing scheduled for 6:00.

We're trying to plan how to get off the ship at the ports from our cabin p209 (deck 5 forward) thanks again![ATTACH]365472[/ATTACH][/QUOTE] It varies from port to port. I was on the Crown a week ago in a (very) forward cabin. At some ports I was able to walk down the forward staircase to walk off. Sometimes I had to exit amidship. Also the deck from which you exit/reboard can vary. In bigger ports (L.A. and S.F. on my cruise) adjustable "swithcback" ramps at the berth reach Deck 7. At the smaller ones, where there are no such facilities (Ensenada and S.D., for example) you actually depart and reenter the ship on Deck 4 or 5. In Santa Barbara we tendered ashore. You congregated in one of the Dining Rooms (aft on Deck 5 or 6) until it was your turn to board a tender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
