Your description is hilarious! 

 

Can't say you"re right or wrong, as I've never had one nor would I pay Princess $15 for one.

Thanks - I agree with you about paying $15 for ground up lobster !

Yes, but what is it?

People have suggested Amazon purchased bracelets  or other holders…very inexpensive. Anybody using?  Any  links most helpful  Thx
T his was supposed to have the photos of the bracelets, pendants etc attached. I did it wrong!

A good lobster roll is not ground up lobster. It's chunks of fresh lobster, many times claw meat, and absolutely delicious.

Not for $15 !

Have you any idea what a fresh "free range" lobster costs?

It is impossible to supply sustainably sourced lobster claw meat at a price that allows Princess to sell lobster rolls for $15.

You are buying lobster "trim".

Sorry - as a Brit, I have to ask - what are lobster rolls? Ive seen photos,  and they seem to be mechanically recovered bits of lobster in a bun. Not exactly appetising - just bits of left over lobster squeezed into a roll.

Am I wrong?

 

Very popular and invented in New England. Of course I actually liked whippy peas, peri peri sauce and haggis.

I like the idea of "whippy" peas!

Peri Peri sauce, is, as you know, Portuguese,  so I'm not sure why you included that.

Thanks for showing all those menu features.  Some new things there.  I have read that CrewCall works quite well.  I would certainly try it for something straight-forward as opposed to go to the PSD.

 

I hate to burst anyone’s bubble, but CrewCall has been hit and miss in my experience. I reached out shortly after we embarked and waited about 15 minutes for a response before giving up and calling directly. I had a repeat performance yesterday.

Only had it while in England for a couple months. Now you're gonna tell me curry isn't English.

I did love driving all over your Country.

That’s what I thought would happen, but I was not charged anything?? 

I believe what the app shows is the price of the drink plus the gratuity ($10.80 + 18% $1.95 = $12.75).  Since the plus package includes the gratuity and the actual price of the drink is less than $12 it was correct that there was no charge.  

[redrobin]

Regarding drinks, I just counted. On the app, under beverages, there are 37 different martinis, listed alphabetically from 007 to Vesper, all under $12.

Tonite we have reservations at Harmony—the Chinese restaurant.

I’d like to have your impression of the new Americanized menu for Harmony.

37 different martinis/7 days = 5.3 per day. Sounds like a challenge for people with Princess Plus.

Do not see Breakfast at Tiffany’s or Quantum of Solace,  unless they are called something else on the app?

Breakfast at Tiffany’s is Marmalade, Cointreau and Blue Sapphire.   We attended a Gin Tasting on one of our Suez Canal trips as has been my go to ever since.

Thanks for checking.

Thanks for checking - Quantum of Solace was Absolute Citron, chambord and grapefruit juice. Hopefully I can find a bartender who remembers the recipe. How about a French martini? 🙂

There is also mayonnaise holding the lobster bits together.  Not a fan myself.
