I saw them port side, end cap about half way down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a server behind the plexiglass to serve you what you want. The only items I've seen that have been self-serve have been the ones in the buffet that are on their own dishes, so you don't have to touch a common serving implement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I have seen this discussed in any of the recent "Live From. . . ." threads. Since it appears that the My Way Dining system can accommodate reservations for any venue, is the DINE line still available? I can see where Princess would hope that the My Way Dining system would be sufficiently efficient and could replace the live humans manning the DINE line. There's still a button on the phones in the cabins labeled "Dining Inquiries." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted August 25, 2021 Author #209 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I woke up still on East Coast time this morning, around 4:30. I checked this thread and my emails and decided to lie back down with the BBC news going in the background. I haven't figured out a way to get the TV to have a snooze feature. When I woke up again, it was 9:24. I guess I needed the sleep. I made it to the morning trivia. No one joined me. There were a couple of dozen people there, but everyone was playing in their own groups and not forming teams with strangers from what I could tell. I came in second but three points behind the winning couple. My cabin steward brought my laundry back from Monday. I have enough now to last me without trying to send it out again. If I had been out of the cabin by 9 this morning, though, I would have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-pandemic Princess said they would eliminate them to help reduce single-use packaging. I did see lots of individual size cereal boxes in the buffet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted August 25, 2021 Author #214 Share Posted August 25, 2021 After trivia, I stopped by the International Cafe. They were already switching over to the lunch menu and were out of the breakfast sandwiches. I had just a bran muffin. That will tide me over until lunch at Alfredo's in a few minutes. Ellie, one of the assistant cruise directors, was doing the ring toss. She was on my Island Princess b2b cruises in 2019. It's amazing that I have not seen her earlier during this cruise. I won another Majestic Princess coaster. There was only one other guy doing the ring toss, though, and she gave him one for second place as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRFan Posted August 25, 2021 #218 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Can anyone on board this week confirm that Elite's are still able to trade the mini-bar for coffee packages? Another thread has posted that Princess has discontinued that Elite perk too. Just asking for future reference. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ombud Posted August 25, 2021 #219 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) The minibar can still be traded. Just call room service & ignore what a 1800Princess said. I'm going to add this for those who stayed on (I know there are a few but don't know if they are on CC):: I closed out my account the previous night. The next morning I was able to order 3 lattes. So apparently even though I closed out my account, my coffee program did not close out at the same time period what I'd like to know from my December cruise is this:: can the coffee package roll over on a B2B?

Rare geoherb Posted August 25, 2021 Author #220 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Lunch at Alfredo's was delicious. Who knew that it would be so crowded, though, at 11:30? When I got there, the hostess told me that pizzas were taking 25-30 minutes. Later on, she was telling people they would take 35-40 minutes. It did not matter to me. I was there for the agnolotti. It was delicious, but it was not really agnolotti. It was one large round piece of filled pasta--a raviolo. One of my pandemic projects has been working my way through the recipes in a book called The Geometry of Pasta. My goal is to make at least one new shape of pasta from scratch every week. I also had the vegetarian antipasto, which was also delicious. The uploads of the photos are failing right now. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsSoCalCruiser Posted August 26, 2021 #222 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) Geoherb, Have you been in the Casino? I read on an earlier cruise that it was really smoky in the Casino. I don’t understand that when the Princess website states that masks must be worn in the Casino at all times except when eating or drinking. The thought of someone exhaling while smoking is a bit scary to me. I used to smoke and smoking does not bother me but being around people smoking during this pandemic is a bit frightening.

Both times we were told that it would be at least an hour before we got our food and both times we were glad we stayed because they severely overestimated the time it would take! And we split Agnolotti and a pizza both times. Delicious! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted August 26, 2021 #224 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Ombud from the last years cruises it did carry over on b2b's. Now with the new season it should but who knows.

I have not been in the casino other than to walk through on Monday when there were a few people playing slots. It was not smoky at that time, but it was before noon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
