  1. When we were on Sky 3 weeks ago, they were out of Tonic water so our set up was only 18. We swapped out for 20 Diet Cokes. Now on Sapphire. Had 20 to begin with. Did exact same swap.
  2. There will always be those who desperately long to return to “those thrilling days of yesteryear”.
  3. Dress comfortably. However you define that. Don’t let the fashion shamus dictate to you how you should dress. If you are comfortable in a tux, go for it. If you are comfortable in shorts, go for it. And no, whatever you choose, you will not be turned away. Although the fashion shamus will attempt to frighted you into believing otherwise.
  4. Not that easy. Those of us who were green were in a much shorter line (compared to blue) but still had to queue to have our passports checked. After that perfunctory check, we proceeded to the elite lounge. Added maybe 3 minutes to the elite lounge after entering the building. The line to get to the port security/X-ray station was the bear. As others have already discussed. Edit: thought I’d better mention that I’m referencing post #24 which discussed last week’s embarkation in San Pedro.
  5. You are so right. And as if to prove your point, here we sit headed for docking in Ecuador tomorrow morning on the Sapphire. Our favorite ship in the Princess fleet. And BTW, at a much lower per day cost than our recent Sky experience. It’s all about planning ahead, far ahead. BGW
  6. We spent 27 days on Sky as she repositioned across the Atlantic to begin this series of Caribbean sailings. Never again. This sailing convinced us that Sky is our least favorite ship in the entire Princess fleet. Too much wrong to enumerate but suffice it to say the corporate decision to replace public use spaces with retail and other revenue generating spaces has ruined the entire experience. Never again (did I already say that?).

    Suggest you change the title (header) of your post to a few word summary of your question rather than using your CC handle.
  8. It’s now 12:45 on a sea day. Wonder how the bean counters are feeling about their new “pay for pizza” scheme? 🤣

  10. We are also presently in a (starboard) mid ship mini on Sapphire. Thus far, no neighbors have been smoking. Should one appear, we will give your solution a try and report back.
  11. And when it disappears, they will have no one to blame but themselves! BLAH, BLAH, BLAH……….
  12. Must be another case of the hackneyed “Operational Considerations”.
  13. No. Not at all. I’m addition to the other comments which take your post to task, the fitness center has been relocated such that there is no outside view.
  14. Last week completed 27 days on the Sky. Elite tokens for both wash/dry and detergent were available and plentiful at the purser's desk. There was one individual staff member who was reluctant to provide tokens but he came around. Boarding Sapphire day after tomorrow. We'll see how they do it.
  15. Thanks for the photos. And they ruin the entire experience by putting a smoking area right in the middle of it? Criminal!!
  16. Crown Grill - Filet Sabatini’s - the front door that leads to the Crown Grill
