Thanks! I checked it out and our stateroom has the door on the right, which matched what we had already seen off the pictures.

Yes, I should have said stateroom instead of suite. We are in a MS on our upcoming Regal cruise and unfortunately the desk is on the opposite wall with no outlet on or behind the nightstand.

Me too! Always lay on my left side facing the machine. Because my wife wants to be on the side closest to the bathroom, I choose staterooms where the bed is positioned on the left wall as you enter. Unfortunately, Princess deck plans don't show what side the door is on, so I look for pictures of the suite I am looking to book.

Same here in Dallas. Looks like an interesting cruise. Our 55th anniversary is the day after the eclipse, so anxious to see the pricing.

Thanks Paula! Enjoy your Alaska cruise!

I am disappointed that Seabourn did away with the Grill by TK, but after our last experience there, I noticed it had slipped dramatically. I can get steakhouse quality at home, but I have to cheat a bit to accomplish it. I sous vide the steak first for at least one hour at 130 degrees F, then finish off searing in a cast iron skillet 30-45 second on each side while basting with butter. Rest 5 minutes and serve. Now I'm hungry!!! 🤪

We are on the Regal this coming Fall. Do you recall if the beef was from Nolan Ryan's ranch? I know they announced it in December for sailings out of Galveston. https://www.princess.com/en-us/news/news-releases/2023/12/princess-cruises-brings-the-ranch-to-the-high-seas-with-goodstock-by-nolan-ryan

Same here!

We are in a MS on our upcoming Regal cruise. I'm going to try writing in Eggs Benedict. If that doesn't work, the next time write in poached egg, bacon, and english muffins with 🤪a side of hollandaise sauce.

That list is hilarious. No Handcuffs. Come on people, that is what duct-tape is for!🤪 No Water Heaters. What about if you check it as luggage? 😁

We were booked on Celebrity on a TA crossing years back. The way I found out there was a problem was on the Roll Call. We all posted our stateroom #'s on the roll call and someone posted the same exact cabin # as us. 😮 We were originally booked on a 7 night Caribbean cruise, but the ships schedule changed and was to leave Barcelona now on the same day our cruise was to begin. They offered our deposit back, or keep the booking and take the 14 day crossing for what we paid for the 7 day Caribbean. Then they offered the folks that were originally booked on the TA for two weeks earlier, a refund or, transfer to the new one with an OBC and a future cruise credit. What a mess. We were refunded our deposit and given a future cruise credit that we never got to use.

I'm not seeing those when I log in. Worst that can happen is find out it was a mistake and they refund you the deposit.

If they are squeezing 6 glasses out of a 750 mil (25.36 oz) that is some serious nickel and diming. Guess I'm a lush. At home it only gets me 4.

In Europe ATMs are called Bancomats. At airports use one only from an actual Bank and not one attached to a currency exchange. Use your debit card and not a credit card. The exchange rate will be calculated by your bank and you will pay a small foreign transaction fee (generally 1-3%). At stores and restaurants, I always use my credit card that has no foreign transaction fees

That was exactly what I was going suggest. I have also done that in the past, but not recently.
