Rare YVRteacher Posted July 17 Author #881 Share Posted July 17 You know how I feel about lines! Why do they schedule Arts and Crafts and Afternoon Tea at the same time? Those are the two best parts of the day! 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted July 17 #882 Share Posted July 17 7 hours ago, YVRteacher said: I also left out the one where the US flag was backwards. This is the type of door decoration that can cause issues. People are stupid. You are on a cruise. Keep your decorations neutral. All it will take is for one person to complain loudly for the ship to say all decorations have to go. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare debenson0723 Posted July 17 #883 Share Posted July 17 11 hours ago, YVRteacher said: NCL does a better job of accommodating solo cruisers in terms of rates and cabin options and having options that don’t involve a double fare. This is my concern about Princess. I am looking at cruises in Asia for next year and found one I like on NCL at a reasonable solo price. I then saw another one on Princess which I liked a little bit more. It was priced for 2 people but when I went back and put one person, it showed this type of cabin was 'sold out'. So it's available for 2 but not 1? I understand that they are missing out on possible additional revenue with only one person in the cabin but if I am willing to pay double the price, it's not going to be that much! I have seen the same on MSC for a solo cabin. RCL and Celebrity are not charging 220% solo supplement and I refuse to pay that. I am going to keep my eye on this Princess cruise to see if maybe it will accept one person in the cabin (at double the cost). Or do you think it might be possible for a TA to help with this or possibly calling Princess directly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawrs Posted July 17 #884 Share Posted July 17 1 hour ago, YVRteacher said: Day 13 (I already know I’m not going to want to disembark on July 26!) I see Zumba is still offered in the morning. NO NO NO. Do not attempt this. I went to 1 Zumba session about 5 years ago and nearly died. It really should be restricted for creatures between 12 and 19 years of age or Olympic athletes. You have been warned 🤪 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I would check with a TA or a Princess Vacation Cruise Planner. There are several recommended on other sites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare YVRteacher Posted July 17 Author #888 Share Posted July 17 This morning I explored the shops. Of course I ended up in the EFFY store. I have some onboard credit. We are talking a few hundred dollars. Enough for a shore excursion. Or, I thought, a diamond bracelet. The bracelet I fell in love with cost $16000.00. My luxury taste on a camping budget continues. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmoopie17 Posted July 17 #891 Share Posted July 17 Good move in deciding against ordering the frog legs. As a vegetarian, you'd probably croak. 1 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got a beautiful ring on one of our trips when they first started EFFY on board. Never again we shagged through two states to finally pick it up at a FedEx distribution center because they wouldn't send it to us unless we paid additional shipping costs. Plus it was also five weeks later than agreed to. You saved yourself some frustration. The plus it was worth what we paid for it when my husband had it appraised for our insurance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JGmf Posted July 17 #893 Share Posted July 17 @debenson0723 Definitely call a Cruise Vacation Planner, 1-800-901-1172 Just take the one you get and work with them as they will be likely to cut through the snags in trying to book a solo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare YVRteacher Posted July 17 Author #896 Share Posted July 17 I skipped lunch so I could enjoy afternoon tea. Yes, I brought my own Prosecco with pineapple I love how they keep the scones warm by nestling them into a basket with a napkin blanket Today we enjoyed raspberry jam instead of strawberry. Everything went well until I accidentally ate a raisin. Blech. 4 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare YVRteacher Posted July 17 Author #898 Share Posted July 17 I haven’t coloured since the pandemic when I would go and visit my dad and we coloured and painted and played Scrabble together in the sunroom where he lives. I enjoyed chatting with other passengers while colouring and being focused on something non-stressful. Many passengers brought their own mindful hobbies on board such as watercolours, knitting, crocheting, cross stitch, embroidery and needlepoint. Once again I placed my art in the Park West gallery and it fetched a pretty price. 3 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizonaperson Posted July 17 #899 Share Posted July 17 @YVRteacher my mom buys EFFY jewelry all the time on Princess and she has always received her purchase right then and there. The poster that said they had to go to a FedEx distribution center to pick it up….They did say when EFFY started on the ship ( Princess) ,so that was a long time ago ,not current. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
