My favorite way to start a our cruise… sitting with our best friends,

in the Good Spirits bar, with our first cocktails…. until the Dining Room opens for lunch.  Although several choices for appetizers, main course and dessert, I’m truly there for the dessert!….. my first soufflé of the cruise! 😉😁❤️
 

After all the hustle and bustle with getting to the airport, flying, car service to the terminal, dropping off luggage, boarding process…. I am ready to sit & relax with a drink and a great lunch.  It always feels like home to me when I finally step on board.  4 Weeks to Go! ⚓️🛳❤️

That's exactly how we like to start our cruise!  Especially that orange souffle for dessert  See you in 4 weeks!! 🙂

open the app and click on your picture.  Halfway down you will see your cruise with a + sign to add additional cruises.

I just booked a cruise to add to an already booked cruise to make it a b2b.  When I hit the + sign to add this cruise, it tells me my booking # not found.  Is there an easy fix for this or will I have to call Princess and wait on the phone for hours (good thing I just retired) lol

We have been doing this repositioning cruise for several years (this will be our 7th) and we have always left from Brooklyn.

We were on hold for 2+ hours.  Once we finally got thru, found out we had a customer rep who handled travel agents, not casino rates......yikes!  She tried to help us, but didn't have the casino info.  She booked our cruise, but we are waiting for someone in the casino dept. to get back to us so we get the correct rates.

Can I ask for some clarification on this group please? I have checked and double checked the Princess website and Captain's Circle pages and I am in dispute with Customer Services over this.

 

Currently I have 14 cruise credits and 143 days.  I have a cruise at Easter which will take me up to 15 cruises and 150 days.  

 

My summer cruise is a big 22 night one to celebrate a special wedding anniversary. I was convinced by reading the website that I would be Elite ie having completed 15 cruises and 150 days and about to start my 16th cruise. Infact the here is a direct quote from Elite status

 

 Elite Member Recognition Pin
When you return for your sixteenth Princess cruise or your first cruise after reaching 150 cruise days visit the Captain’s Circle Host to request your Elite Member pin and wear it proudly to show your loyalty status.

 

However Princess now say I won't be Elite for my summer cruise!  Can anyone confirm when they received Elite status - was it on or after their 16th cruise?  Your help would be much appreciated

We did a b2b in November.  The first leg was my 15th cruise and the second leg was my 16th.  I received my Elite benefits on the 2nd cruise (#16). 

Thanks so much for this review, really enjoyed it.  We too received a free cruise from the Borgata and are sailing the Anthem in September.  This will be the first time for us on Royal Caribbean.........we usually sail Princess or NCL.  We have been to Bermuda several times so our plan is very similar to yours........rest, relax and gamble! 😎

You said the parking lot was full, was the overflow parking easy to find?  We are driving from Long Island also.  Do you think 10:00 is a good time to get there, not too crowded then?

We are doing our first b2b this fall.  We have the Sip & Sail drink package for the second leg (not for the first leg).  When will our cruise card/OM work so that we can get a drink (if we can find a bar that is open).

Thanks for your review. We'll be on the Epic for New Years Eve (6 more days!)......can't wait!!:D:D

Hi Karen, Great review! We had a great time on this cruise too. We were able to get Vibe passes and spent most of our time there. Love your pictures. Keep them coming.

Susan & Joe

We just got off the BA on Sunday. We got to the terminal around 10:30 and were in boarding group #8. I believe we were on the ship by noon. We went directly to Guest Services and got #59 & #60 for the Vibe passes. I believe they give out 74 passes. So glad we got them! It was great up there, met so many nice people and had a blast!!

Thanks so much for the info. We leave in 4 weeks and are planning on getting to pier early so we can get Vibe Passes. We have the UBP and are looking forward to spending some time on the Waterfront. Glad you had a good cruise......we can't wait!!

Thanks for the BVE review. We are doing the BVE on Royal next Saturday (10/11) and can't wait! How early did you get to the pier?

Susan

Good to know EZ Check is available for Jet Blue. We used it for the first time with SW in March (don't know why we never used it before) and it was so easy and convenient. Will definitely use is on our upcoming cruise on the CB in just 3 more days!!!! :D

Susan

Thanks for doing a live report! We board in just 3 more days.......very excited!! :D

Enjoy the rest of your cruise.

Susan

Thanks for your review. We have 27 more days until we are on the CB (my 5th time :D).....can't wait!!

Susan

Thanks for the great review and beautiful pictures. Just 33 more days for us to set sail on the Coral......can't come soon enough!! So glad you had a good experience on the ferry ride to the Pacific side. We have that excursion booked and looking forward to it.

Susan

Wilfros, thanks so very much for a great review! Just loved all the pictures and your honest opinions. We are so looking forward to getting out of this miserable winter weather and board the beautiful Coral Princess in just 38 more days!!!:D

Hope you enjoy good health and many more cruises. :)

Thanks,

Susan

OMG!! Never expected Cartagena to look that beautiful. What a great review, can't wait for the next installment!!

Susan

I am so enjoying your review and pictures. We too are on the same sailing in March with Tyskie, Debbdo & Whimsy (see a pattern here, lol) and I'm hoping you have pictures of the newly added International Cafe. That is one of our favorite places. My husband goes there every morning to get fresh brewed coffee and always brings back a few of their delicious pastries (just a little snack before breakfast ;)). Looking forward to your very informative review.........thanks!!

Susan (& Joe too)

Has any one been to this beach recently? We will be in Antiqua next month and would like to have some info: cost of a taxi, how easy is it to get a taxi back to the ship, how long a ride to this beach. Also, what was the charge for chairs, umbrellas. We were planning on going to Jolly Beach (not the resort) but their restaurant is closed so there are no facilities to speak of there. Appreciate any information I can get....thanks!
