But there certainly have been quite a few new releases that they could have included, had they been so inclined. Just going back a few months there have been the new Justice League movie, The Courier, Godzilla vs. Kong, Cruella, The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, the new Fast and Furious film, Black Widow, Snake Eyes to name but a few. Godzilla versus Kong and the first Hitman's movie is on your stateroom cabins TV library. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got our Negative test results for boarding on Sunday!😀 The restaurant manager will set up a chef's table at least once a cruise sometimes multiple all depending on how many people in inquire and request it. It works the same for the winemakers table as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst thing I ever ate on a ship. I typically never ever order matzah ball soup anywhere I go. I'm spoiled with home cooked meals and making things from scratch and then heating my great grandmother's recipe my entire life which is just uncomparable to it any other version of it I've ever had. I figured while on a cruise ship why not give it a whirl still doesn't meet up to the standard my great-grandmother's version but compared to a lot of other places I've had it at this one was did better in comparison to those places. Matza balls are a little bit tasteless, and can use some flavoring, but the broth makes up for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime you book anything while you're on board it gets charged to your stateroom and will automatically deduct all your on-board credit from your bill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports from the current cruisers will be most accurate, but the Park Ranger said definitely not at this time. The case count is too high. I think they have mandates from higher up the chain on this. The also aren't showing the Klondike Gold rush video. Here is the link to my RC post: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2781557-september-26-2021-alaska-rt-seattle/page/11/?tab=comments#comment-61600705 Thanks.

Rare geoherb Posted August 12, 2021 #519 Share Posted August 12, 2021 We ate lunch one day with a group of regular Carnival cruisers. They had a complaint about everything and how nothing on Princess was as good as it was on Carnival. For the matzoh ball soup, their complaint was that the balls were too small. I thought it tasted delicious. They also complained that the ribs with spicy barbecue sauce were spicy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people just don't feel good unless they are complaining about something. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom used to say some people wouldn't be happy with a front seat in Heaven - these would appear to be those people. We've had similar experiences with tablemates that complained for the whole cruise that they were "bored" - only to find out when asked that every night they were just going back to their cabin and watching TV, only coming out for meals. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sailed on both and the experience was completely different. Imagine it's also different on HAL, RCCI. That's why there's so many options (no rollercoasters or climbing walls on Princess, limited classical music on Carnival but a better video arcade).

The last time we took a Carnival cruise I told my DH it was the last time we would ever again take a Carnival cruise. Princess is perfect for us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
