Do they have brewed coffee, such as you would find in the IC and MDR?

Thanks, the Discovery is at 92, an RCL is at 93 and a Celebrity is at 50. I would imagine that the Celebrity folks will check in at 93 then bus to 50. At least that was my experience on the Discovery inaugural cruise.

Thank you, I will call indeed! Yes, I've checked out nearby hotels, and some are sold out as well. I like the Doubletree as I can use my Hilton points. I'm hoping as final payment comes due there will be some cancellations.

I am booked on a cruise leaving out of San Pedro and there will be 3 ships in port. I normally stay at the Doubletree, park there and Uber over to the ship. The Doubletree is sold out, so I think my only alternative is to get up early and drive. Has anyone had experience finding parking when 3 ships are in port, preferably handi-cap parking?

I received the e-mail from Princess.

I just got my cabin assignment, C103. The most forward balcony. I will definitely cancel if I cannot find a midship cabin once the cruise is open on the web. Oh, this is for the 7/08/23 sailing.

I found some sweet deals today also!

Lol, thanks!

I am looking at a cruise that will sail over Halloween. I'm assuming the ship will be decorated on Halloween, but will it just be for that day or the whole cruise?

Same for me, mine was for 7/08/2023, no cabin assignment as of yet.

Does anyone remember the Sitmar days when first seating was at 6:15, the service was splendid with sommeliers, true assistant waiters, leisurely service with time to chat with the servers, amazing food, table side food preparation by the head waiter and you were still able to make it to the 8:00 show? Maybe someday when the ships are fully staffed club class might resemble those days.

I dined there on the Discovery and thoroughly enjoyed it. I ate in that small room with the wall plates, which offered privacy from the passerbys, and my meal was very good.

I got an e-mail from my CVP this morning stating that he could save me $750 on an existing booking, but would lose $100 in OBC. Of course I said yes. Also this category is sold out. He has always returned my calls and e-mails within 24 hours or less.

Loving your review, you look like you'd be a lot of fun to cruise with!

Okay thanks, enjoying your review and the pics!

I had a Nelson as Club Class Manager on the Discovery, who was wonderful! Wondering if it's the same guy, would you mind asking him if he opened the Discovery. My Nelson is from Portugal.

I noticed that as well!
