I would have them look at their booking confirmation and travel summary under passport requirements. They will find the statement below. If they think getting turned away at the port is less trouble than expediting passport renewal, that's their choice. PA S S P O R T R E Q U I R E M E N T S A passport book is required and must be valid for six months after the completion of travel. Please ensure the name on your passport matches your name as it appears on your booking. Additionally, make certain that your passport contains blank pages for entry and exit endorsements and any visas that may be required. If necessary, allow sufficient time to renew your passport and/or obtain additional pages. A passport card will not be accepted. There may be occasions where we retain your passport at check-in. This is to ensure that you are not inconvenienced by immigration clearance during your cruise and where face-to-face inspection is not required.

The smokers may gamble but there may very well be more people who won't enter the casino due to smoke than there are smokers.

I wonder if any of the fixes like deleting and re-installing the app would help?

Same here. GeoBlue for medical and a MedJet membership in case there’s a need for evacuation. I see the trip costs and lost luggage as acceptable risks but wouldn’t consider skipping health coverage. Anyone can end up with appendicitis, a kidney stone etc even if they are young and perfectly healthy.

How odd. I can see them for all of my upcoming cruises and could for my last couple.

Port guides are currently visible in the app while you are off the ship both before and during your cruise.

So glad it went well. I remember that you were not looking forward to it very much.

It was incredibly windy by the pool. So windy that chairs that weren’t in use were being put away by deck attendants one day

That’s a great question. I bet if you Google long enough you’ll find that someone has an answer! 😉

You are not alone. There is no doubt that the majority of passengers would like to see an end to the use of the casino as a smoking area.

That’s interesting. I’m usually cold but it felt pretty good in Santorini. I think you mentioned you eat early? I wonder if they cool the MDR way down before they open for dinner. We went around 7:30 most nights

They have no choice really considering that more than half of American men don’t even own a suit much less a tuxedo. Unless they go back to offering tuxedo rental onboard, a large percentage of their male passengers are unable to comply with the formal night dress code of tuxedo or dark suit.

I was also on the Enchanted at that time and thought it was one of our best cruises with Princess. The staff was terrific. Beyond the smoke problem in the casino, it was exceptional. The Retreat Pool was crazy windy! I couldn’t spend enough time there to notice the music. One miscellaneous thing I noticed was that there were a fair number of people dancing in the piazza in the early evening before dinner. More than I usually see. The jazz band in Take Five also seemed really popular.

He will be able to do everything, it will just all take more time. Check-in will require that he wait in a longer line and he won’t be able to carry out many activities onboard without waiting in lines or on the phone. Those who use the app can make, cancel or change dinner reservations, purchase photos, book shore excursions, ask questions of guest services etc using their phone wherever and whenever they like while on the ship. He will simply have to go do those things in person or go use the phone in his cabin. If that’s his preference, it will work

Oops - *drives away more money

Deep fried basil is what the garnish looked like to me. I didn’t taste it though

I honestly don’t get it. The casino smells like a circa1980 bowling alley and the piazza isn’t much better. . They have to know that drones away more money than it attracts since they are making the area smaller.

I’ve heard from several casino staff that the bar is being removed from the casino to create more space. They are also supposed to make the smoking area smaller.

Here is a photo from tonight. My very limited sample of tasters included reports of “good”, “delicious”, and “not as good as yours”. No one disliked it though and the portion was very reasonable. I thought it was fine. I’m not a huge fan of lasagna though

Enchanted. I think I’ve posted the the 10 day rotation now

Not sure what you’ve been ordering but I’d say $12 per glass is the bare minimum for wine on Princess. There are many people who wouldn’t find anything enjoyable to them at the $15 included in the Plus package.
