So, when we disembarked no one asked for our proof of vaccinations.  Kind of what I expected in Mexico!

 

And, downtown PV was busy, lots of locals and tourists.  Masks were being worn indoors.

So basically same as we were there in early Dec.

We were on the Majestic for the Christmas cruise, just before your cruise. Our room steward covered the sensor light in the hall with tape, but if we turned that light on, it wouldn't go off.  Maintenance came up and covered all sensor lights with tape.  Yes, they were very annoying!

As one who trips over his own two big feet, especially at night I'm happy with the lights.   Yes, the closet light is bright but it's around the corner.  There are many of us that need a bit of assistance when walking around the cabin at night.    As long as there is an alternative, tape, I think it will work for everyone.

Following. 
We leave on the Ruby Princess out of SF on Thursday, Jan 6 and will be following much of the same itinerary (with the addition of Manzanillo - big whoop!)

Same, almost smashed my head on the bedside table getting up in the night on the Royal in 2019.

My friend and I both also like the new sensors.  😊

Oh no, did you fall?

Ruby had the lights pre-Covid.  Mixed feelings. Good idea but very bright and sensitive.

We had an aft cabin on the Ruby pre-Covid and there was a motion light on the side of the desk.

Any word on what  numbers of passengers are expected for the next 2 to 3 cruises?

Our very reliable source onboard told us last night that the next sailing, Jan 8th, currently has 1,350 booked passengers.  That puts it around +/- 37%.

Can you ask about the 15th sailing?

'Can't we just have a thread where the discussion is what the poster was posting about?  I know I'm fantasizing.

Yes, but fortunately corrected myself just in time.  Got up in the night to use the restroom and couldn't see that the nightstand is directly next to the bed.

We are on this sailing and enjoying the heck out of the lovely Majestic Princess.  We were also on her Dec. 18 - 22 sailing.  On that sailing we enjoyed a couple of shows put on by the singers and dancers.  So far, no such shows on this sailing, just solo acts in the Princess Theater.  Anyone know why?

[fabby50]

Thank you monitor, whoever you are 🙂

We're on the 8th Jan sailing. Flying in from Ireland on the 3rd.

For those onboard This sailing- Majestic December 29th.

 

Thoughts on “things”? Just want to see how this crew and or sailing is going? It was nice to see the Patters early on,but none now.

i know probably those onboard are too busy or not unlimited internet minutes?

 Just curious -wanted to compare and see how my mom‘s trip is going as she’s on board right now with you. This is her first cruise since Covid. ( she Elite)So she is of course noticing a big difference.

Apparently she is noticing everything is being blamed on CoVid if any issues she said. Not much customer care with complaints .

Happy to hear that everything turned out OK!

We are thinking about booking the “Love Boat Cruise” in February on the Majestic Princess but I really would like to know what the approximate occupancy will be.  If you have a free moment would someone please ask at the front desk for me??? I have to pay in full by tomorrow.  Thank you so much in advance. 😊

We were on a 10 night over Christmas and production shows didn't start until a few nights in. We also had one extra Christmas show. The last two production shows were on nights 9 and 10.

Deck 9......also even though the ship is only 2/3rds full the casino has been really busy every night.....does not look like to me the "No Smoking" policy is doing any damage to the casino....every table and most slots were full at 8:00 PM tonight........
