Aww, that's brilliant thank you!  We made the mistake of starting to collect the crystal ship models but they seem to have been phased out now.

They have the larger ones in the pic with the Stanleys (the bear, not the mug) and some new pewter ones that look nice but $$$. I can take a pic of the pewter one the next time I walk by if you want.

Some deck pics from 17/18. I just noticed the self-serve drink machines today. Not sure if they just appeared, or if I missed them before. 
 

Last two are of the relatively empty Sanctuary.

Awesome pics of the Dome and Sea View area. THANK YOU

Good Lord Don't say the "S" word! Empty, Can't imagine why.

So Discovery Princess recently had a self-serve soda machine installed near the Wake View bar where you scanned your medallion. Not sure this is the same.. Isn't Lara their juice offering?

Yes, the elusive prime rib trolley that no one on Princess knows anything about! 🤣 

I doubt is is an actual trolly - I'm sure the beef comes out of the kitchen like all the other meals. That's why no on knows about it.

How loud is it at the main pool.  On other ships it can be quite loud with MUTS playing. Same on this ship?

No bother - snapped a pic through the glass as I went by. I think I overheard $250 or $300..

Any idea how laundry service is?  Have you tried it? Is it fast - can you get next day delivery or two day?

[CanadianBurger]

I could lie here all afternoon… it’s nice and quiet with no attractions open.

Edit: it was peaceful until the noisy teens showed up. But hey, it is Park19…

No idea. Even with free laundry, we never use it.

Pub lunch day. Since I had the fish yesterday at O’Malley’s, I tried the corned beef. I was kind of expecting a sandwich based on the menu, but this arrived. I normally love corned beef, but I didn’t think this was very good. Too fatty, and the lean parts were tough. My wife had the fish, which was excellent and identical to yesterday’s. I’m glad I got the scotch egg yesterday.

Contrary to other reports, there IS self-serve coffee and tea in The Eatery. 

Do you know if that self-serve coffee is available 24/7?  DH is a "minus-0-dawn-thirty" riser so it would help if I had some idea of where to suggest he look for early coffee, please and thanks.

Naples tomorrow! One of my favorite ports!  Can’t wait to see your fantastic pictures, @CanadianBurger!! What are your plans?

I don’t think the self-serve is, but International Cafe is 24h.

This appears to be the free lemonade, water, and unsweet tea.

Beautiful sea day today, about 16C, but really warm with the sun. I’m surprised the wonderful space deck 17 forward at the SeaView bar is so empty. There are also washrooms on the starboard side which is nice.
 

Lots of people in The Dome. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How windy was it at the Seaview Bar area while sailing?

(Might be the reason it's empty)

Today’s Sea Day Patter

 

 

 

 

For those that asked - O'Malleys is open for lunch on a sea day!

 

EDIT: Might only be open for drinks at 1:00. There's something written underneath the hours that becomes blurry when I enlarge it enough to read. Sorry!

Just happened to venture up to check out the wake view from up high. What a beautiful day. 
 

 

While I was up there, I got a better shot of the signature lounge. Alas, my medallion didn’t work on the door.

O’Malley’s is all done up for St. Patrick’s Day. Including green beer.

Love it!

The public washrooms on this ship are really nice, and numerous. They’re also all accessible. So when you see the sign and think it’s a single accessible washroom, it’s not. They’re all full sized with accessible stalls.

Surprisingly, not windy at all. Far more wind up on 18 above the main pools.
