Yes, you're exactly right. It's a floating hotel. The Hotel GM is actually the second most powerful person on the ship, behind only the captain. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most, maybe all, cruise ships have a hotel manager. They run the hotel side of the operation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muffin Posted July 30, 2021 #1229 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Oops…..meant to say that by ou can simply ask a bartender what he’d recommend. You are not alone! They can cut the syrups back by 3/4 and still make a great drink. Approach one at a less busy time, snd pick his brains. You will find lots of ideas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly why we have decided that 7 day cruises are absolutely too short! However, it is sure better than zero days. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked a security person when I got off and she said only security is allowed off ship. No crew. exceeeept Captain Dino. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh don’t tell anyone. Lol there are lots of photo ops on formal and casual nights. @PROCRUISEon the first formal night I saw well over 2 dozen women in full blown Queen Mary 2 worthy floor length gowns. Fully sequined, gorgeous satins. Just fabulous. They were escorted by equally fabulous men in tuxes. I was roaming about from around 4:30 in the elite happy hour lounge through mid ship piazza and vines until my dinner at 5:40. And then piazza again after. Many others were dressed very nicely you could tell an effort was made. second formal night I did not notice the same level of dressing but most still in appropriate attire especially in the MDR. Out and about not so much. OMG I just almost died laughing.... Captain Dino the pier runner ! ! ! ! ! LMAO ! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare HaveDogWillTravel Posted July 30, 2021 Author #1234 Share Posted July 30, 2021 @DuncanBlizzardI can completely feel your pain on this. I believe bluefish2000 had this same issue and I’ll see her tonight at our function with Jan. I’ll see what I can find out for you. That said she and DH did board! @jpearson50there are no children under 12. There are a fair amount of 12 and above. I do not have a count. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HaveDogWillTravel Posted July 31, 2021 Author #1235 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Crown grill bar menu and photos of the booze in stock. They do not have printed menus out. Only QR code’s. The crown grill, vines and good spirits bars let me see one. But the sea view bar would not. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to look again. It may not be a "fancy or snazzy" wine but we love it. (I have most of a case sitting here at home.) Thanks for the info!

One pizza, chicken fingers, chef salad, Caesar salad, Perrier and one glass of wine. total charge with bev package was $3 for the pizza. Do not judge my choices lol 😂 My recommendation is to try the key lime pie on the room service menu. I was quarantined on my last cruise for three days, and it was my favorite thing to order. I also loved to order the chicken fingers and a Caesar salad and combine the two. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problems that I observed, but we also have a light crowd on this sailing and there is hardly any wait for elevators when you need them. The ramp in and out of the ship here in Ketchikan was rather steep, but there were several crew on hand to assist with just this type of thing. THANK YOU so much!

Eaglecw Posted July 31, 2021 #1242 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Does anyone know if they are going to have a "Gathering of Veterans" this cruise season? On every Princess cruise I've been on they'd have a Gathering of Veterans and have a champagne toast to honor our fallen comrades who didn't make it home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clara722 Posted July 31, 2021 #1247 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Please advise if the Princess have given the passengers any PCR COVID tests during this cruise?
