When I filter on just British Isles cruises (no date filter) only two cruises come up in 2024 (and two âIceland and Isles which Iâm not interested in). Does Celebrity not do more than that? Princess has a bunch of different choices. Should I be looking more at Princess for the variety?

Itâs only in FLL right now as an experiment. In a penthouse suite in December so I hope we get the call! but I am curious what it entails. Do you ship all the lines and board directly or do they just take you to the front. I donât need them for that. But if they get our medallion and do all the necessary check in work and we walk on the ship, Iâm there!! And itâs not at their HQ, they just rented some space in a building.

Enchanted Princess 4/20, hopefully you can help
Sox Fan Cruiser replied to mistyPA's topic in Princess Cruises
In the olden days of key cards you could as long as you had their card. Not sure with the medallion anymore. My guess is no. (all around Boston teams supporter. Not just the Sox. Live in JP in Boston.) -
Enchanted Princess 4/20, hopefully you can help
Sox Fan Cruiser replied to mistyPA's topic in Princess Cruises
Yes the partitions open. But every once in a while there is a solid wall. Cabin numbers would help us determine that for you. You can not book the Sanctuary ahead of time. As soon as you board, you go directly there. There will already be a line. And anyone doing a back to back from the previous cruise will already have booked it. The Royal class ships have a much smaller Sanctuary so I wouldnât get my hopes up. They are usually sold out even by the time Elites get onboard. But try anyway. We always sit in Take 5 each night. Some bands are better than others. No coffee machine allowed. Yes, pizza and burgers are free. -
Funny thing is that I had to check which board this thread was on. Celebrity is having a major identity crisis as well and the loyalists are not happy about it. X is also pushing towards a younger generation as well with the Edge class ships and their changing of itineraries. Celebrity's demographic history is even slightly older than Princess. There is already a lot of talk on that board about moving somewhere else. Funny thing is that some folks are saying to go to Princess.

My favorite part about cruising is being on the water. Sea days are perfect for that. I avoid the main pool as i don't like the noise and all the people interaction. So I will find places where I can see the water, whether that's my balcony, the sanctuary or some other quiet area of the ship such as the retreat pool or the wake pool. Then I reach into my backpack and grab my ipod, or my kindle or my sudoku book and enjoy. Maybe I pull out my German exercise book or have a quiet conversation with my hubby. every once in a while, I will nap for a little bit. When I get a little hungry, I find some food and then find another place to the repeat the above. That is what a sea day means to me. Can not wait for my TA in Nov 2024!!

I had 6 cabins all linked together and could see everyoneâs reservation. I could not check in for them as they need their passport info and such but I was able to pick everyoneâs arrival time so it was the same.

I donât think it is. The buffet is on deck 9. This speaks of a real dinning room. I guess we will have to wait and see. So much still up in the air. Iâll check it out in April!!

I thought I remembered when the Royal Class first came out, we were teased with a TON of videos and other things from Princess getting us all excited for the new design. We are only 6 months away from from the Sphere class and almost nothing. I think more Princess customers are posting things than Princess. Am I mistaken about the Royal Class rollout or just too excited to see this new ship?

Fort Lauderdale Princess On Shore Suites Lounge

Good point. I sail in December so I need to wait until they are back from Europe. đ -
On Celebrity they give you a choice of a bottle of wine or champagne. One of our friends chose the red wine. It was disgusting! Iâm no snob but it was undrinkable. I also think this âfreeâ sparkling wine in bad but that experience was unforgettable for all the wrong reasons! đ€Ș

Mardi Gras cruise significant changes
Sox Fan Cruiser replied to Tee & Chilli's topic in Celebrity Cruises
They already told us that there will be a reduction in fare based on the reduction in days. Not sure why you would think they wouldn't adjust the price. I know a lot of Celebrity fans are getting really upset by all the changes. I choose to just breath and see where all this takes us. -
Medallions vs Apple Air Tags: sizing question
Sox Fan Cruiser replied to lahore's topic in Princess Cruises
No problems at all. I also refuse to wear it as an accessory and just keep it with that clip in my pocket. Easy. Once in a while the scanner canât find it at the bar but I just grab in my hand and it works perfectly. -
We have a penthouse suite on deck 17 at the corner. Looks like a severe overhang on our balcony. We arenât excited about that but not going to let it affect our wonderful cruise. Thatâs what you get when you book sight-unseen. Bring it on!!
-
It must have been docked in a different place. There was NOTHING around us other that the Sky Princess (our next cruise) and the Silhouette (Our cruise after that. đ). No public transportation anywhere. Maybe thatâs the trigger.

And I am only sharing my experience with Copenhagen. In the other ports we were picked up by our tour guide so I don't have experience there.

I think you can pay for a private shuttle if you want but there were buses sitting outside the gate with a sign saying "Free Shuttle" and they left every 20 minutes or so.
