I tried searching the forum, but all I got was discussion about the Royal.

 

The Grand blocked passengers from the upper half of the central stairway. Does the Crown do the same?

I thought Princess was only allowing passengers to use the central staircase if you had the stairway card, $30 plus gartuity, it allowed you to use the stairs upto 30 times during the cruise. Maybe they pulled it because of abuse, I heard some passengers where sharing the use of it.

My niece left $40 dollars and Bose headphones in her shorts pocket as they where sent in to the Laundry. Now I know it was her own daft fault, but they never ever showed up even after numerous attempts at the pursers desk.

We were on the Emerald at, the noon changed well for us, didn't know about the campaign to change it to night time, maybe passengers thought they where losing an hour of there cruise.

Wow $800 on a phone, could you not just buy a cheap $50 phone for now and wait it out until the ship returns to Fort Lauderdale.

Is the central staircase open on the Royal. Or is this still unknown.

Sorry I meant the Regal.

We had p319, very often you could hear the vacuuming of the art gallery, also foot traffic in the casino. Not a major problem, but just letting you know.

Oh ok, any one have a broadcast date for the documentry

Sorry, but who is Shane.

We where on plaza deck a few weeks ago, only a 2 person cabin, lovation is great but did suffer from some service noise.

Argh...just another reason I wish we got ALL of the original BBC programming here in the US. :mad: I hate having to wait months or years for all this good stuff! They actually have TV worth watching over there! My son watches QI online and has got me hooked. Now there's this show!

If you have an ipad you can, very very simple.

Does anyone know who the cruise director was during the filming.

You will be able to. Watch it on the itv player, if outside the uk you will need to this through a vpn. We can always watch uk tv whilst in the us on our ipad an its never a problem

I'm sure he was the chef on our recent emerald sailing.

Kelvin did announce that there was no crew show because there was no one to take part.

I was also on the Emerald TA and I did not get the elite bathroom amenities but quite honestly there isn't anything in those that I really use or miss so I didn't bother asking for them. I'm sure if I had asked my cabin steward would have supplied them. As far as the soap goes, I asked for an extra bar and stuck two bars together for the shower. They stayed stuck together and that worked well for me. I can see the practicality of the smaller bars since it generates much less waste from used bars being discarded at the end of the cruise.

Oh I know the elite amenities is a waste, I do like the lip balm though, why we got one on leg to was my thoughts.

I have seen very slow response time myself in the past when an elderly person fell on the open deck, not 18 mins and not life threatening but still at least 10 mins. Another time a fight broke out on the lido deck over chair hogging of all things, someone rang security 911 and they took so long to get there the2 involved where long gone.

We just returned from a 15 day TA on the Emerald Princess. It was a great cruise --- But we had to bring real soap and shampoo from home since Princess stopped providing real bars of soap and shampoo without conditioner.

 

We are sending an email to Princess Customer relations requesting Princess return to providing real bars of soap and plain shampoo.

 

I wonder how many would join us in sending an email to Princess requesting it revert to its earlier policy .

 

The Princess email is: customerrelations@princesscruises.com

We where on the emerald across the Atlantic too, did miss the shampoo bottles, the in shower dispensers felt a bit cheap to me. We did a b2b so where on the 10 day Caribbean before hand, strange thing was on the transatlantic we received an elite bathroom amenities but not on the 1st leg, we did switch cabins but why that happened I don't know.

I'm a big fan of Hotwire, always seem to get good deals through them.

We have just done a transatlantic on the emerald, we changed the clocks at midday, losing an hour. I thought it worked better, did not notice it as much. Where you doing the time change at night.

Skywalkers has to be the place for peace and quiet, our daughter used to go up there for 2 hours every day to study.

I may have a moan or a rant on cruise critic but when I'm on a cruise a put my rose tinted glasses on.

We have just had 11 nights in P319 on the Emerald, not the most quiet cabin I have ever stayed in.

Bit of a shame, all the nice people you speak to over 3 weeks and the last person you speak to on the ship is a grumpy person

On Tuesday morning we left the Emerald Princess after a very enjoyable 21 days onboard. We left the ship early due to woork commitments as the cruise does not finish until Saturday. As we loaded our luggage into the elevator to go down to deck 4 I made a little joke to a lady that we where getting off as we could stand it no more. As soon as I made this comment the lady went of on one saying how bad the cruise had been, its not like it used to be and that she couldn't wait to get off in Southampton. Thinking back I always seem to meet someone like this on every cruise, am I unlucky or do you all bump into a moaner too. In 3 weeks the only problems on the ship was slow service in the anytime dining rooms. In other words, another great Princess Cruise.
