Esprit

Hi @bnickle Would you be able to tell me where I can get a fresh squeezed orange juice in the mornings please? I hope you are enjoying your cruise. I can see you are in Genoa today, but doesn't look very sunny!

I'll be gutted if I can't get on the roller ride this August. It will be the only way I'll get a birds eye view of the Sanctuary and see how lucky the suite guests are!

I guess the balcony isn't an option either for the mini suite cabana dwellers? So glad we have a normal balcony that can't be overlooked 🤪

I agree. I would prefer to have a dry ski slope instead

You write very informatively. I'm looking forward to reading your next contributions. Thank you.

Ditto for us at 8 pm

Just the thought of being on a P&O ship again is bad enough. Trapped on board with all those fellow Brits whilst at sea would be my worst nightmare!

That's me too! But more glasses of wine with dinner for sure.

Me too.

Nice to think I'm "above average" in something for a change! Even on port days I can easily drink a few bottles of Peroni, a pre dinner drink and glasses of wine over dinner. It's thirsty work too dancing the night away!

Totally agree. We always wait until we board. Even on nights that are supposedly booked up, we get a table on the night. With the Med' cruises being so port intensive I guess passengers cancel because they are knackered by the evening and just do to the buffet.

We've been on Millennium, Solstice and Edge class ships and would say the Solstice ones have the same vibe as Royal class ships. Entertainment is better I think on Princess. There just seems to be more going on. I miss Morano's however as Sabatini's isn't as good. MUTS is great, but Celebrity have TV screens too. Just not as big! Like many have said, you will not be disappointed with the switch to Princess.

Tried booking Deck 6 for a shared table in August but the only option is private. We want to be on a table of 8. Why can't your OBC be applied to speciality restaurant bookings?

I can do pretty easy on port days too! 😂🍺🍷🥂

I'll drink red or white wine from the Plus offerings and just stick to the ones that I like the most. The only time I'll upgrade is for real champagne and pay the difference. The pour sizes are no big deal. I'll just return to the bar more often and kid myself it's good exercise! When I get close to my 15 drink limit, I have the wife's allowance in reserve!😂

No one has ever had to conform. The dress codes have always been suggested IMHO. As my wife loves to dress up I always complement her attire by wearing a tux/dinner jacket on the "formal nights". As I've said before. I don't give a monkey's what other choose to wear regardless of the suggested dress code. I've never worn shorts in any restaurant around the world and as people rightly state. Wear what you feel comfortable in. I feel most comfortable when I've made an effort to look smart, and I get serious "brownie" points from my wife as a result!😇

Sorry, but this news has been discussed "ad nauseam" on here!

According to the Sun Princess webcam today, the ship is bound for Santorini 👍😂

No flames from me. Well done for stating that fact 👍

We were surprised to find in our standard balcony stateroom on embarkation a wheelchair! We fortunately don't require one, but it was easily pushed back out for the steward to take away.

Me too! Just hoping my Sun cruise on 10 August stops at Kotor and Santorini, but if its not meant to be I’ll just max out my Plus package on Peroni’s and red wine! Aim to do traditional dining around 8 pm each night on a table of 8 and hopefully enjoy everyone’s company. Will go to Sabatini’s and the new Asian themed restaurant (can’t recall the name) and be thankful I’m not sitting at my office desk for 14 nights whilst aboard.

I’m guessing you are a “glass half empty” type of guy/girl/non-binary!

Well blow me down with a feather! That is amazing.😉

Obviously a downside to having the medallions posted instead of waiting a few seconds longer to get them at embarkation 😂

Come on! It’s not that steep and there are many resting places to take in the views and sideline the donkey packs. Ok, there is some urine and poop but you are not wading in the stuff! Just don’t wear your newest footwear. The 588 steps are more pleasant than standing in a 90 minute line for the cable car.
