I'm traveling on the Golden Princess on May 30th and wanted to see if anybody could answer my questions. Although they're not REALLY pressing, they will help me plan my trip (apparently, I'm a freak about details!).
Since all of the reviews have been for the FLL trip, I haven't been able to find answers regarding the So. Carib. itinerary.....so here are my questions. Some can be answered by those not on the So. Carib. itinerary, but others (I think) can only be answered by those who are on that itinerary.:
What nights are the formal nights?
What night is the best to go to Sabitinis (are there 'theme' nights for dining - i.e. a Caribbean night)?
Which shows are not to be missed (and which ones CAN be missed)?
Are the hot tubs and pools actually open 24 hours?
How many craps and blackjack tables are in the casino (any tournaments?)?
Any nickel slots for my in-laws to play?
Are there organized 'tournaments' for volleyball, basketball, etc (if so, what days)?
What type of 'classes' do they have (when are they)?
Basically, I'm trying to plan all of the excursions for my wife, her parents, and me. So, having an idea of when events are conducted onboard may help determine whether we reserve a morning excursion or an afternoon excursion (as to not miss a culinary class, or wine-tasting class, or something else like that). I've only been on one cruise prior to this and we had multiple days at sea....so I just didn't know how they would fit everything in if there's only one day at sea.
This is the first (and will likely be the only) cruise for my in-laws, so I want it to be a great time for them!
Thanks in advance for all of your help and tips!
