This doesn't have anything to do with table games but last week on the Crown a lady was playing a slot with $8.80 as the top wager. Just about everyone in the placed stopped when they announced a jackpot of $187,000 was just won. Sure enough it was flashing on the machine, the winner was shaking filling out paperwork and they rest of us were staring with our mouths hanging open.

The Ruby was docked next to the Crown, which I was on, in Victoria, Canada on October 15. It arrived after us and left before our ship left. Large crates were being replaced on the top deck, but that was all that was happening.

Got off the Crown last week after 16 days--Caribe deck--mattress was super comfortable and seemed new. Maybe they are in the process of replacing them.

On the Crown it's in between the coffee/ice cream bar and Slice pizza on Lido deck. Seems to take at least 7-10 minutes to make a juice, as of last week.

I am confused as to whether a negative covid test is required for a 16 day trip to Hawaii. Princess says travelers on certain 16 day or longer trips must show a negative covid test before boarding, but isn't specific as to what destinations. If anyone has experience going to Hawaii in 2023, or if you have any answers, I would appreciate your help. I just don't trust contacting Princess for the correct information. Thank you.

There is no way to predict the weather a year in advance. Example of one of my trans from Southampton to FLL. 16 days which we were only able to dock in Lisbon to pick up more crew and Bermuda. We barley got into Bermuda do to winds. There was a huge storm and we docked in Southampton for 3 days. Couldn't get through the English Channel. Missed Paris. It is just a chance you have to take. We were kept busy on the ship. The only food which they ran out of was lettuce. They put cabbage out in its place. Too funny. Something Princess didn't have to do was give us a complete refund. They had nothing to do with the weather, but a great move to its passengers.

My next cruise in September is the first one I booked as a guarantee. I'm wondering how to print my luggage tags if I don't receive my cabin until 2 days before sailing. Since I will be on the road, I will be hoping I can print them at a hotel. Is that what most of you do?

Thanks for responding. Not lazy, just thinking if I brought my coffee up from the IC, it would be cold by the time I went through the buffet line and had an omlet made. That's the reason I was asking if a crew member can deliver.

Just wondering how this works... I'll be on the Crown with the plus package. At the breakfast buffet, if I want the regular coffee from the IC, not the syrup coffee from the buffet, can a crew member get this for me or do I bring it from the IC myself?

Haven't been a sailing since the Mediallion app has been introduced. I'm a solo traveler and have no preference to sit alone or with a group. Can I just arrive at the dining room without a reservation and wait for an opening? Or must I reserve on the app?
