Royal Princess (Friends of Bill W meetings)

Hello,

I am doing a Caribbean cruise Feb 28th on the Royal Princess.

I can't seem to find any info on the availability of AA meetings. Does anyone know if this liner has regular meetings available?????

WE have been on over 30 cruises with Princess and all of them have had them at least once maybe twice on every cruise.

There are Friends of Bill meetings daily. The time and location will be listed in the patter.

They have them every day. They are in the Patter. I see many Recent Patters have been posted lately, you will see them in there as "Friends of Bill W"

Not only are there regular Friends of Bill meetings there are also Friends of Dorothy meetings as well. Princess tries to take care of everybody. Don't know how long you have been a Friend of Bill but congratulations on what you have done/are doing. :)

Friends of Bill meeting are every day, listed in the patter, but not necessarily at the same time every day, occasionally at varying locations.

They fit them in where there is time and venue available.

Thank you all so much for the info. This is great news for us!!!!!

Not only are there regular Friends of Bill meetings there are also Friends of Dorothy

I thought the 'friends of dorothy' name was out on princess, replaced by LGBTA get together.

It was -- At least on the Royal.

On another note, the Patters listed somebody named "Dr. Bob" (or something like that) along with "Friends of Bill W". I know who Bill W was, but who is this doctor and what organization did he found?

Princess calls the meeting "Friends of Dr. Bob and Bill W." On cruises over the last few years the start time has varied between 4:00 and 6:00.

As others have mentioned, there is usually also a daily "LGBT Get Together" around an hour later and that has been the name in the Patter for many years.

Are there also Al-Anon meetings?

Not in the Patter. I have experienced Al-Anon folks coming to the first AA meeting and agreeing on a time / place to meet. If requested, Princess will put it in the Patter.

I always see the Friends of Bill W meeting schedules on the Patter.

Dr. Bob was the cofounder of AA.

Thanks for clearing that up. I guess Bill W got more publicity (at least for me).
