After you board and use the elevators, you will be tired of hearing the names of all the decks recited by the elevators!

 

Dumb question of the day: How is Caribe pronounced?

 

car-eye-ba, ca-rye-ba, car-ib (rhyme with bib), ca-rib, something else?

"Kuh-Reeb, Deck Ten."

The elevator lady's voice reminds me of something in the movie

Westworld:eek:

has anyone noticed if there are rugs with the day of the week on them? I noticed this on RCI last summer (Med cruise). Maybe it was to help people with jet lag? :)

 

This is an RCI thing, Princess does not have the rugs in the elevators with the day of the week on them that I have ever noticed before.

That was the hardest left turn I've ever seen :)

 

Anyway since we're on the Caribe deck, I'm glad to know how it's pronounced. It'd could embarrassing otherwise.

Being new to cruising and to Princess, I had assumed it was pronounced ka-REE-bay (the Spanish way, meaning "Caribbean"), especially since there's also Baja (which I guess refers to Baja California? I get the whole alphabetical scheme, but it's kind of ironic that the word baja means "low" and it's used for one of the higher decks). :)

 

Anyway, when I called Princess about our upcoming cruise, in passing the agent said ka-REEB. Now I know! In any case, totally looking forward to our cruise on the Coral. (On Aloha!) :D

This is good to remind you of what day it is.... but when your last day is displayed on the rug it becomes depressing.
