@ceilidh1This question will give away a long-standing association with Princess. Is your CD BFF Andrew Kadillac? I recall the name, but perhaps not the spelling. I sailed with him a few years ago on Star...

Don't quote me, re the executive chef! I had a chef named Dirk as well, but maybe not the same surname. My bad, sorry!

Private tour? Or culinary show? He was on Caribbean P earlier this summer. I enjoyed the food on that sailing as well.

Welcome to the Wet Coast. Summer is officially over. Sorry that your day in Victoria is washed-out! Enjoy a ship-day instead. Fingers crossed that my day in that city next week is not quite as wet. 🤔 Sounds like a good idea to book another sailing to this area! Go for it.

And for enquiring minds....will swaps be allowed? @ceilidh1 Thanks for all the pics. The mini-bar setup looks as usual...for now. Beef for lunch looked good 😋. What time for a mermaid mimosa?

You're a pro! Go for it. Beautiful day for sailing out of Vancouver. Bon voyage!

@ceilidh1 Four days of the regular premier package on Sapphire sounds great; you won't go hungry or dry for sure. BTW - I found the Wine list with the prices for bottles on my own. No need to post it for me. I've got my upgrades all in order. Thanks for taking us along. I'm looking forward to my sailing on Discovery; new ship for me. Bon voyage to us all 🙂

Hi @ceilidh1 - happy to follow along with you on this sailing. I'll be on Discovery soon! If possible, and not too much trouble, can you find out the price for a bottle of Shafer Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay? I have never been able to purchase this one by the glass...and wonder if I should purchase it ahead in the cruise personalizer in Canadian funds! Just one of those things I do! TIA - thanks for taking us along with you. Have fun!

Agree. Also used Blue Puffin company for tour in Tromso. Fabulous guide, Viktor!

If you want to be sure to have a turkey dinner on the right day, be sure to mention it to one of the restaurant managers at least 24 hours ahead of time. The staff always appreciates getting these requests in a timely fashion. I was on Majestic last October and wanted a turkey dinner for Canadian thanksgiving. The kitchen put together exactly what I had requested for my meal that day. I know from experience that it is far better to ask ahead of time for any special requests rather than wait to see "if" they provide exactly what you want on any given day of celebration for your culture. IMHO Enjoy your cruise! @GetGlowing

@DaisyRose Pretty sure the Royal class ships are the ones with the concierge lounge. Usually on Deck 14 mid-aft. Check on the deckplans for the ship you are interested in. Enjoy your next suite booking!

@TenneSea Thank you for posting your pics- loved seeing Portwenn especially! I am enjoying your reports immensely. Random question about the ship breakfast location, please and TIA. I will be boarding this ship next month and would like to be ready to "hike" all the aft, or ...? Is it being served in the Palm dining room?

@Pirateskigirl sorry if I missed it. Can you post a pic of the officer board, please? TIA Who is the captain?

I also like the idea of window suites ...suites in general, yes! That said, I am not seeing the standard suite perks listed on the amenities page for the most current Window Suite cabins, particularly on the Grand. I am looking at sailings for fall 2024. Has anyone noticed if Window suites will continue to get the standard "suite" benefits as in the past? I would hate to book one of these cabins and NOT get the breakfast in the specialty dining room and the Reserve class dining. TIA

For anyone sailing at this time...hope you have flatter seas ahead. If anyone happens to see the officer board, please post a pic here. Thank you!

@Lindy Sue Which ship are you sailing on? They usually hold back enough restaurant reservations for suites; your concierge should be able to assist you without any trouble. Re-lax, enjoy your suite experience! Bon voyage.

@kstaffen Yes, I missed seeing Sheila after Honolulu, but Jay was still there and ready to serve with a big smile every time!

@kstaffen I took this officer board photo on the last day of our sailing. It has a few changes...as of 04/30/24. Nice meeting you at Adagio. D

@Turk1 Last month I canceled a reservation and it went to my account on board. OBC I had my request processed at Guest Services, Ruby Princess

@TenneSea Love it so far! Keep it coming, please. I'll be boarding this ship soon. Thank you for taking the time to share with us. Love the food photos. Always.

I just might meet you face to face on the Majestic before the year is out...fingers crossed. Love that ship! @LACruiser88

@LACruiser88 Details, details! Don't want you going to the wrong dining room...but then again, I recall - you are going to Harmony every morning. Lucky ducks! Thanks for playing along.

@LACruiser88 I thought that the aft dining room aft on deck 6 was the Allegro! The restaurant listing on the memo says Concerto...deck 6 aft. Oops!

@brewcrewI was on Ruby P, had a thermal spa pass for the 16 day cruise. Enquired at the front desk of the spa and found out that prices are higher once on board. I suggest you purchase the pass prior to boarding. Sorry this is all underlined. Enjoy!
