The Royal class ships have the European outlet behind at least one bed. DH uses it to keep from bringing an extension cord.

Husband has used his CPAP in Europe and on cruise ships. His CPAP (verified with the supply store) can be used either 110 or 220. There is a label on the CPAP with 110/220 also. We use a European type plug for the European hotel wall outlets and then we can use a regular US extension cord in it if needed. Otherwise, we just plug the CPAP cord plug into the European plug in the European wall outlet. On the cruise ship, there will be a European wall outlet behind the bed that the lamp is plugged into. We unplug the lamp and use the European plug for that outlet and then plug in the CPAP. Haven't had to use an extension cord in a long time either at hotels or on the cruise ship. We got our European style wall plugs while we were living in Germany so we could use all our US stuff. People on Cruise Critic have posted pictures of the different types of European or other countries wall plugs they have bought off Amazon.

You need to try and get to it. The only way to see it is "in the round". Can't imagine it being performed on a regular stage.

If you are ever on the Coral Princess, go see "On The Bayou" again. It is performed on the turning stage which I heard was removed from the Island.

Glad I wasn't the only one to say you had to be on board to view the video. Though I am going to see what happens Monday evening (25th) when we are at our pre cruise hotel before boarding the 26th.. They have made me too curious not to try.

Have no problem opening my Medallion app. This is a Medallion app screen shot for Safety Essentials. I'm not a techie, but it is your Medallion you use on board (NOT the App) that confirms you have watched the video and have scanned it at your muster station. The ship makes numerous announcements before sail away of how many passengers still have not completed their safety requirements - shown below.

I'm sure you have to be on the ship to watch the video - if you meant watch before going to the ship.

We usually watch the video as we are putting our carry on stuff away, go get medallion scanned at our muster station and then off to MDR for lunch.

If you have the $$'s - and can cruise a lot - go for it. One day we might.

Haven been on about 20 Princess cruises since the restart in 2021.and have never seen anything like this for passengers. The crew will have their mandatory safety drills but passengers aren't involved.

Watch a safety video on your device or your cabin TV. Then walk to your muster station where there should be 2 crew standing at the door way or in the hall with a scanner for you to tap your Medallion. That's it. Haven't been on RCL for awhile but when we were there is was a horrible set up. We stood in a section of the main deck, very crowded to listen and try and watch a video screen.

When it was free did you tip?: Same food - same service as you have always had at Alfredo's - free or pay.

On 3 cruises the 4 of us had $1200 for the excursions promotion to spend. Sure came in handy when booking tours and going to Crown Grill.

We did the tour to Pearl Harbor and all the ships there on our own using the local bus - "The Bus". Very easy and the bus ticket was $2 each way pp. Called the bus information number and was given the bus numbers to use and the location of the bus stop.

In Feb/Mar 2022, we did B2B transits also. Both our stops in San Juan del Sur were cancelled and became sea days.

We're on the March 23 cruise through the canal and received notification this morning that Nicaragua was cancelled. It was 2013 the last time we were there and weather kept us from tendering in 2015.

Ouch!! We never fly day of cruise. Even with an overnight stay, always make sure there are flights to the port after the one we are one. I do not have a cast iron stomach to have that big a worry of a same day to ship flight.

Always have internet but no tik tok.

Don't know if I'm missing something in this discussion, but have an iPhone and with the ship's internet we call, text, Facetime with family/friends back home or with family/friends cruising with us. Always get a "beep/ring" when text, etc comes in. Was going to try What's App but no one at home wants to download/use the app.

I must have an "S" on my forehead for sucker. When I paid for our first ever dinner in Sydney, Australia in 2010, I gave cash and expected to get back AU$10 or $15 in change. Waiter took the payment and never saw him again. In 2011, we were having dinner in Dover UK and when the ticket came was surprised to see that it had a printed line added to write in your tip amount. So they might say they are not a tipping culture, but they sure wanted a tip. In AU we were with another US couple so guess that made use fair game but in Dover we were with English friends.

Those friends would. Sure wouldn’t be bragging about that

The Future Cruise Consultant and her/his group are now assigned the duties once given to the "old title" Captain Circle Hostess or Loyalty Manager. The Events Manager works out of Guest Services - I believe.

Before using card stock paper, I covered the paper tags with the wide scotch tape

I have always received a setup for every booking number. So I am also expecting 6 setups for the cruise to AU/NZ. Though I do admit I'm not sure how the two day cruise will be handled. In the past, if I had a cruise booked for 14 days that could also be booked as two 7 day cruises, I received 2 cruise credits as well as 2 bar setup. I found this out back in 2010. So far since the restart, I have been booking everything as a B2B so can't swear to how this is now handled..
