Rare abbydancer2003 Posted April 10 #201 Share Posted April 10 (edited) I’m happy you made it in, and I hope your ride is better than ours. We’re on the Solstice and yes, we are missing the first port. We’re also sailing in 30 foot seas which may not sound like a lot but it is. I think we’ll see a lot of casual footwear at formal night. I was on the Majestic in 2022. It’s a great ship. Edited April 10 by abbydancer2003 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun ride! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could watch that webcam all day, and I think I have today LOL. In 2017 when we were spending a season cruising out of Sydney, I bought my mom an iPad and put a shortcut to that webcam on the Home Screen. When I replaced her iPad in 2022, I neglected to do that (since we were no longer cruising out of Sydney) and she called me to tell me how much she missed it and that she looked at it every day. I had to correct that ASAP! It is quite entertaining. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always post great tips . Thanks Thank you! I don’t think we’re cruise for months at a time any longer (it’s a lot of work, actually), but I’ll blog when I do cruise again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was guessing around 5 based on the time they arrived and when they typically start boarding after arrival time. Glad you went over early and stemmed the off ship shopping spree although I would probably be right there with your wife. 🙂 Hope you had a nice dinner onboard, a great sailaway from Sydney Harbor, and that you'll have a fantastic cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LACruiser88 Posted April 10 Author #212 Share Posted April 10 (edited) We finally had our last bag delivered around 11:30 last night. Debbie was getting nervous because that bag had most of her purchases! 🤣 The Captain announced that the 3 day ride to Picton will be quite bumpy and he was correct! Lots of things went bump in the night! We are going to try to squeeze into a laundry room this morning as Debbie won't send out most of our things. Only things sent out are our socks, thongs I mean undies, and work out attire. The suite breakfast is in the Harmony Restaurant, can't wait for my avocado eggs Benedict! And then to the Fitness Center! 🥺 Btw, this is our first cruise using the new app. So far, we are quite impressed with its functionality. Much nicer than the old app. Hopefully, it won't change our opinion as we progress on our journey. Edited April 10 by LACruiser88 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LACruiser88 Posted April 10 Author #213 Share Posted April 10 My favorite breakfast dish, Eggs Benedict ala avocado (instead of the meat). Sorry for the phone shadow, I couldn't get the right angle to avoid it. Sorry... 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LACruiser88 Posted April 11 Author #218 Share Posted April 11 Tonight the extra dish in the Reserve Dining Room was Filet Mignon. Knowing that we are pescatarians, they prepared a Tasmanian Salmon for us. It was amazing! No wine at dinner tonight, we had plenty pre-dinner at Vines! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted April 11 #219 Share Posted April 11 Dinner looks delicious. Great to see Ron Goodman on the board. I always so enjoyed him. Still laugh whenever I think of him in his tutu when they used to sing 'If I were not upon the sea" at the Crew show. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you visited the happy hour in the Suite Concierge Lounge? In the past they have been amenable to securing our preference of wines or hard liquors for us as long as they have them on the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LACruiser88 Posted April 11 Author #222 Share Posted April 11 The WiFi has been working well and I really like how easy it is to switch between devices with the new app. The initial signing on to the internet is also much simpler, just open the Princess App and Viola! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LACruiser88 Posted April 11 Author #224 Share Posted April 11 My second favorite breakfast, the French Toast! Debbie decided to have her coffee in bed this morning, so I was solo for breakfast. 😒 Now, off to the Fitness Center! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
