Well that was fun to watch the ship sail through the Aqua Clara lock! Happy to see you made it through the canal today.

It was surprisingly fun watching people I’ve never met transit the canal and others talk about! Thanks.

I would love it if anyone could post cabin pictures of balconies and mini-suites!  I am interested to see if there have been refurbishments post pandemic.

Just back to catch up and she is almost to the bridge and into the Atlantic.  Princess is back in the Caribbean.  How about that!

 

ETA: .. with passengers

Thanks for the pics! It is very heart warming and encouraging to see ships carrying passengers. Be safe, be healthy and enjoy!

Yes, that would be great.  I am also wondering how many and what kinds of electrical outlets are in the cabins.  In an old picture I saw, it looked like there was one US and one European outlet at the desk.  Is that the case?

I am curious if PescadoAmarillo will be able to see this Saturday's big matchup between That Team Up North and Sparty? How's the college fb on the Emerald?

Are there specific items the crew would like.  I know they cant leave the ship so I was thinking of bringing some goodie’s on board for them

Many people suggest that the crew likes Toblerone bars. They either eat them, or trade for other goodies.

I’ve ordered toblerone from Amazon. It will arrive Thursday

This is a very nice thought, and I don't want to seem negative, but before the Pandemic you could buy Toblerone Bars on the ship, so it is a nice thought, but not something they cannot get themselves.  Something that they cannot get on-board would be more special.

A waitress on Sky told me that shore-leave was back on.  But, that was not in a US port.

And, it was before the covid outbreak.

 

For ships with port calls in the US, crew can order from Amazon with delivery to the port agent,

and onward to the ship.

 

It is a lot different than it used to be...

AND it is easier to pack.  But something unique and special as well as cash is nice.  A lot more personal.

I commend you for trying to be thoughtful ... that is often very much appreciated beyond even the monetary value of cash. Cash is great but there is something to the old saying "it's the thought that counts."  Thanks for trying to be thoughtful.
