For anyone interested, alot of people are not wearing masks when they should and there are many people wearing them below their nose. Mostly the older people. I think the Princess plus is popular. There were many drunk people by 5pm yesterday. Ask any questions and I will try and answer them when I can Not good, slack on masks and drunks. What are Princess staff doing re mask enforcement? Sounds like not much, little wonder Covid is still on the ship,! Drunks on board, where is the enforcement re Responsible Service of Alcohol?

Look out for the couple aboard who are doing 2 years back-to-back cruising - they were 3rd most travelled at the end of July - Jessica and Marty Ansen (surely they must be getting a bit bored with the constant Groundhog Day?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare yes!yes!yes! Posted August 13, 2022 Author #36 Share Posted August 13, 2022 First time in elite lounge. Underwhelmed. No one speaks to each other. Pianist playing for a while. Nibbles are nice, scallops wrapped in bacon, smoked salmon, cheese etc. Cherry pie. Great service but no atmosphere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like Negroni but made with bourbon instead. I'm surprised I actually like it as I don't usually like bourbon but it works. If it's the same drinks list as previous most of the drinks are too sweet for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On some ships I've been on it was only every few days. The Explorers Lounge is probably a bit too big for this, people probably spread out rather than sitting close to other people - although that could also be a Covid precaution. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original cotton ones I bought way back still fit me nicely, although they are getting a bit shabby now. The new polyester version is shaped to fit young slim women - even the bigger sizes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets rephrase to people using the shazam app on their phones to tell them what songs and artists are being played for music trivia questions. All for a ship on a stick or a luggage tag, trivia is getting lame. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally I found the same at some of these, and also suite concierge lounges on other ships. Some days/cruises you get lucky, mostly not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are saying they were asked for proof, so they showed a photo of the negative result. Others have said they were just asked if they tested negative. I plan to take a photo of it anyway. We are also onboard. At embarkation we were asked to show photos of our negative rats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they do about 8 cocktails slightly discounted otherwise just the normal drinks menu. No free drinks like royal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
