We really only had one server. There was someone who helped set up the table but other than that just the one brought in all the courses. We tipped him $20 - don't know if that was too much or not enough, just what we thought was appropriate.

We did this in April on our 50th anniversary cruise on the Crown. I believe it was $100 and worth every penny. We did it in the room as it was a little too windy to sit on the balcony. They came in and set up a table with table cloth and flowers. Champagne, lobster, filet were all wonderful. There was also a chocolate cake (bigger and better than the ones you would get in the MDR for a special occasion). There were also pictures taken and one was included in the price. You will call the dine line and discuss what you want for dinner. I had filet and lobster, my hubby just 2 lobster tails. May do it again on our next cruise.

@AZjohn Please please tell me about the cinnamon doughnuts and where they are hiding.

I see that the cabanas have a TV, wouldn't that disturb the rest of the people in the Sancturary? If I paid extra for the Sanctuary I would be really annoyed if I had to listen to it.

We'll also be on the Crown (Dec/Jan) and the only casual dining they had in Mar/Apr was the Salty Dog in the Wheelhouse. I wonder if that is still going to be there.

My husband uses a shower seat on cruises although we've not used one in a regular balcony shower. He has gotten two different types, one was a bench seat and the other was more like a chair as it had a back. He preferred the chair type as the bench was smaller and not as stable. As mentioned above, be sure to ask for the hand held shower wand,

I have a kindle paperwhite as well. Can't download using the Princess WiFi. The person at the internet cafe said they are not compatible.

For something a little different if you have transportation is the Seahorse Farm (Seahorse.com). We went many years ago and it was very interesting. Even had a seahorse wrap it's tail around my finger.

I like it although I've not been on the Discovery. On our last cruise on the Crown Princess it was held in Club Fusion. I enjoyed the snacks and meeting other passengers. There was almost always live music, mostly a pianist.

I'd get the one shaped like a turtle.🐢

Ours here in Reno are now $1.25.

Can you get a glass of just one kind of juice or do you have to get one of the combinations listed? None of them appeal to me. Thanks.

They had that on our last cruise (March/April) on the Crown as well. I agree that they were not very tasty.

My hubby and I take Amtrak from Reno, NV to San Francisco when we cruise from there, which most of ours are. He has some mobility problems and flying is just a pain in the butt. The roomette is nice for one person but way too small for two (won't do that again). As @sparks1093 mentioned, the coach seats are great. Sure it takes a little longer to get to the port but way less stressful. I wish you well in your travels.

We've also gotten bottles of wine and dining in specialty restaurants.

Us as well, got a great deal on B2B Mexico/Hawaii in December.

So sorry to hear about your sister, but what a lovely thing to do. Best wishes.

Hi Pam, we also had a great time and thought the ship was fine, I sat next to you at the Meet and Greet. Do you have any cruises coming up? We'll be doing B2B Mexico/Hawaii in December.

Rossini - (Champagne and Chambord) and Lemon Drop

Well, I'd have to go back to 1970's. Now - no way! Or maybe yes because at this age I really don't care.🙂

As Astro Flyer said - no extra charge, which is a good thing. I love the scallop appetizer and always get 2.

@20165Just beware - once you've been in a suite it is hard to go back.🙂

I did a resort excursion booked thru Princess earlier this year. It was at the Marival Resort. Very nice, it had 3 pools and also a nice beach area. Lounge chairs and umbrella included. It also included drinks and a large and very nice lunch buffet. I don't know if they sell individual day passes.

Are you doing the 12/22/23 cruise? We'll be on that one as well.

@rbtan Taylor Ham always makes us happy. Did you live in New Jersey? We live in Nevada now and order ours through the mail.
