JamieLogical's Live from the Enchanted Princess 5/4
edspec replied to JamieLogical's topic in Princess Cruises
I don't understand why bare feet are any worse than shoes? His feet have most likely been washed in the last 24 hours while his shoes could be carrying traces of dog feces, urine from a public bathroom from three weeks ago, etc... I agree no feet on a table but I wouldn't want shoes on there either. Hopefully his feet have had a pedicure recently but that goes for anyone wearing shoes that show their feet. -
Embarking with 16oz cans of Monster energy
edspec replied to Neonsport's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
If you have the drink package they have energy drinks on board. I "buy" a couple each day to start the next morning. -
I reached out to Jen Wright earlier today and she handled the cancellation of my bookings promptly and professionally. It is very unusual today to find the excellent customer service she demonstrated, it makes me even more of a Princess fan than I was. I didn't cancel because I thought the offers were unfair. I thought Princess handled a mistake...like all of us make...ethically. For those that say Princess shouldn't have erred, Princess should this or that...let's give them some grace.

How do you get it to list all cruises according to fare price? I logged into my account but didn't see that option. Thank-you.

Haven’t gotten the email on ths one yet but we booked inside guarantee. I checked and we still have the Plus package. I didn’t book this till Thursday morning so possible I’m late getting the email.

RCL food has gone downhill fast
edspec replied to Bullet100's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Good post. We're just off Quantum and the food was just ok. It looked good but no substance. Margerine instead of butter, bread which tasted cheap, desserts which consisted of mostly gelatine, etc...Well, the oatmeal raisin cookies were good 🙂 They need to spend more money on the food. I buy quality groceries at home, why would I want to vacation and spread margarine on bread? Eat cheap ice cream? Or cheese which is dry around the edges? Don't get me started on the skimpy cream cheese on the bagels in the Windjammer or the green glop masquarading as guacamole. How many times can they serve Spaghetti with Meat Sauce as a main in the MDR...many times it seems. -
Just booked a 17 day Greenland and Canada on Emerald Princess. Killer casino deal, $0 which included plus...obviously happy about that...especially since I never gamble 🙂 I dearly love a promenade deck so really looking forward to this. Thanks to all who had positive things to say about this ship.

Just booked two cabins on Star 10/15/25, thank-you. We got standard but that is ok, great deal. Thank-you OP.

Our Carnival Vista B2B - Havana Style - (with pics!) - 4/14/24
edspec replied to Jamman54's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Glad to see this and I'll be paying close attention to your Havana text and pics. Thank-you! -
@Hillmom I’d class myself the same as you…non-snooty red wine drinker and I agree, the wines on the Plus Package on Sky last summer weren’t good. I don’t know why they can’t have something drinkable…a Decoy, Apothic Red, Kendall Jackson..all are inexpensive and much better than what’s offered. I should be able to have a decent glass of wine without paying extra. Who steals a wine glass? What is the matter with people?

Thank-you so much @Bell Boy. That is exactly the information I needed.

Looking at an Alaska cruise on QE and really need connecting cabins. Have realized there are no interior connecting doors, hoping that balcony dividers can be opened to allow passage between cabins. Does anyone have experience with this situation?

I’ve always arrived day before a cruise and for 20 years that worked great for me. Given the state of flying I’m adding a day from now on to give myself a cushion. On a cruise now and at our departing airport someone maliciously cut lines which affected Southwest and Delta flights. An absolute disaster. I’d have been a basket case had I been flying either and only had that day. To me it’s not worth the chance anymore…all the anticipation joy is gone with stress.

What do you ladies put in laundry bag?
edspec replied to living at the beach's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I've never had a problem with sending out clothes that I'd wash on permapress at home. Many people that I've seen using the laundryrooms on the ships would be much better off sending it out...3-4 loads crammed into a washer, all colors and types of clothing, then dried till the clothes look like little rags.
