So, if I order a White Wine Spritz made with soda, the soda will be from a fountain, as it is at my local pub(UK).

We will be on Sky in August and our Traditional dining time is 5.30 pm.

Just glad we don’t have the tension to live through in UK as they don’t ship to us.

Last year it was the Vista Lounge on Sky.

We are always questioned about watching the video, implying that we should have done it before going to muster. Difficult when the Eavesway coach is late and you are told to go to Muster immediately.

Surely #4 comes before #1.😱

There are passengers who decide to remove the daily gratuities. I’ve never done it, but have read that you need to go to Guest Services on your first day. Reasons for doing this include tipping workers who you think deserve the tips.

“Our restaurant manager on the Emerald Princess informed us tonight that lobster will no longer be offered as an entree in the Main Dining Room unless it is purchased for a $25 surcharge per tail. Surf and turf will no longer be offered. This is a corporate decision impacting all ships in the fleet.” I have just seen this on another thread. Has it already started on Sky? I was hoping that we could order Surf & Turf for our 60th Wedding Anniversary meal, 21/08/ 25 as it will also be a Formal night. Unfortunately, hubby won’t pay for Speciality Restaurants.

Obviously they don’t read the description of the Excursion: Strenuous Moderate Easy. I now only book Easy excursions, as I walk with a stick( with difficultly).

Exactly. We once had a boat excursion that was cancelled due to a howling gale, causing tremendous waves. Fortunately, the ship cancelled the excursion. I would be contacting Princess, saying that the Excursion desk were at fault for not taking the weather conditions into consideration.

They need a musical activity manager to arrange a choir.

How have you taken the video if you haven’t embarked? Did you mean you haven’t departed yet?

I thought Cellular at Sea was an extortionate price!

I was certainly told ‘NO’ when I applied for one on Celebrity/ Royal Caribbean. i was told it was only for US residents( I’m from UK).

I was going to say “shame about the clouds!”😱

Or if you have Premier package?

It’s only a small regional airport. We once used it to fly to Manchester (UK) and I said never again.

Be aware that the Cielo dining room is at the stern of the ship and not the easiest place to access.

The advantage of having the open wardrobe, the cases can be stacked upright under your hanging clothes.

I would think highly unlikely, as you won’t be able to get off the ship as soon as she arrives at the port. If I remember correctly, it took us half an hour to get to to SOU airport and traffic can be VERY busy in Southampton.

Totally agree. We are Elite Plus on Celebrity, but changed when Silhouette was taken away from Southampton. We had the Plus package included with our booking on Princess. This includes Gratuities which Celebrity had taken out of their drinks/ WiFi package.

Yes. Platinum or Elite can book before making final payment, but as you are new to Princess, I’m afraid you have to wait until after final payment.

Attached is a screenshot of my booking on Sky, showing 5.30 pm.

1st seating for Traditional is 5.30 pm. 2nd seating is 7.30pm.

Last year we were told boarding time was 11-3 pm. This was on Sky in Southampton.
