Jeter02 thank you so much for posting the menu for tonight. Some of our favorites are listed, so we won’t want to miss this one.  I will have to try the salted caramel.  Kathy

Salted Caramel is delicious. I order it every time it's on the menu. Take very small bites, it's rich.

[phabric]

I hope the same menus will be on the other ships.

How can I opt out? (Vegetarian and don't want it in my room)

 

 

Call room service when you board and let them know you don't want it.

In the past (back when there was a form to fill out) I either emphasize vegetarian on the form without checking any offered item or called room service and asked that whatever would be delivered had to be vegetarian.

 

In the future I would just make the call to room service with that request.

Has the Pub Lunch been eliminated? I have not seen mention of it or I missed it.

That's a minor point of sadness for us.

Matzah ball soup. LoL 😂 I find it just as entertaining personally!

Love your posts and always find them informative and entertaining. Shame that there is no face to put to the name. Provides mystic though and totally understand that you don't have one. Originally thought you were male. Probably has something to do with Cruise Critic name and preconceived notions.

One of the passengers is having a medical emergency on board. They are stopping the ship, evacuating all aft rooms from floors 9-17, and landing a coast guard helicopter on the ship to evacuate them

Oh wow.  Please keep us updated if you get a chance.  Prayers to the person being evacuated.

This is definitely not what you want to see out your window.... We are on the 8th floor aft room and they did not evacuate us. It looks like the first attempt may not have been successful. They maybe coming in to try again.

That’s a Canadian Coast Guard Helicopter. The Majestic Princess is just off the Northern tip of Vancouver island. About 20 miles out and she is almost stopped.

It's very strange. They keep circling. I'm wondering if it is too windy?

Or the patient is not yet ready for transport.

[bflysmile]

We saw them lower a stretcher and fly off but then they came back. And are now circling. From our vantage point (deck 14 midship) it looked like they tried to land and pulled back. Then lowered the stretcher with 2 guys. 

[jwcdis]

Just to give clarification, captain Dino said the passengers medical need was not COVID related

[CruiseChick33]

Evacuation was successful and they are on their way to a hospital in Victoria.

 It was one of our favorites, too.

[Georgiane]

so this is probably why you take your passport with you -even if it's a close loop cruise... hope the person will be ok... sending best wishes to the passenger and his/her family

Hooray ...sending positive thoughts to the passenger.

[scoobiecruiser]

I have a question about Execursions at the Ports. We always booked Excursions through the Ship, when you get to each Port for your Excurstion do they tell you to meet in the Princess Theater before you get off the Ship/ or how do they do it now?

[scoobiecruiser]

Another question I have are they doing the Captains Circle Party and having two formal nights?

Here I am, semi patiently awaiting the shuttle to take me to home for the week. If I’m not ocean ready, I don’t know what is 😂 no I don’t normally have such colorful hair but return to cruising and the ocean has me excited, and my friend is is school to do hair so why not let he play. And I guess everyone on board will know how to find me 🌊😂It is temporary 😂im so looking forward to the next week onboard. My friend gave me the shoes early this week that were a bit tight so I’ve been pulling out all the stops to make them fit In time for today. Thanks to those following along and to those also boarding, see you soon, out

r adventure awaits 🚢🌊
