polk01 Posted August 22, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 22, 2022 My experience on Sky Princess so far has been horrific. No Malbec and no dessert wine. How can they expect civilised people to live without basic necessities? If I asked at Guest Services, do you think that they would agree to repatriate me from this hellhole? 😜 3 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the song Hotel California says, "you can check out anytime you like but you can never leave..." 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1emerald1 Posted August 22, 2022 #14 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) If there is an essential that I must have, whether on a cruise, or back when I was working, I bring it myself. And yes, I do get your sense of humor! Edited August 22, 2022 by 1emerald1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offer does not start until Friday. Not sure why you are worried - the wine is normally for sale at £5.99 and is pretty good for that price, let alone £4.49. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
