Inedible? In DR? That’s very disappointing.

We’re leaving in 5 days, the only activity posted is a daily craft cocktail event. Absolutely nothing else under Journey View activities. Oh well, we’ll find it soon enough.

Favorite cabin, Crown C752 😎. Med cruise. Enjoy, you got a good one!

We put in an upgrade bid for our 12/26 sailing, haven’t received a rejection or acceptance email. Watching & wondering,

Looking…

😂🤣 same here, I use mine at Aldi, often get asked where I got them. 🙄

Yes, my issue with Princess shuttle is that there is frequently a wait in the terminal, then waiting on the shuttle…am so ready to board by this time, tired of delays, , encountered this on quite a few Princess shuttles. Am ready to explore other options from airport to ship. Appreciate the input!

We’re booked on the Regal out of FLL and would appreciate input re: transport from airport to pier. We’ve done this route a few times and the Princess shuttle has always taken soooo long. What do you think — taxi, Uber, Lyft, other? Thanks much! Also is it correct that the Princess pier is at terminal 2?

I too have purchased upgrades with Delta and American after booking flights through EZAir. It was within the 30-45 day period.

Looking into this, you mentioned getting to see a good part of the island. Do you just stop and chat or is there any communication along the way? Looks like a great way to see a lot in a short time. Thanks for any input.

We did the Hawaii cruise on the Grand Princess out of SF. Loved it! No complaints whatsoever!

Thanks very much, got it.

We sail in a few weeks and would like to make a reservation at Sabatini’s. thought I read somewhere you could make it through the Medallion app. Anyone succeed in this? I looked around and saw no mention of the specialty places. Thanks for any hints!

We’re there with ya waiting. We got verified same day we rec’d email. Who knows what’s going on. 🙄

We’ve had aft balcony twice (Med & Panama Canal). Thoroughly enjoyed the location. Have another planned in ‘23. Enjoy! And Alaska, you’ll get some beautiful shots right from your balcony. On those cold days of glacier viewing, it’ll be nice to pop back into your cabin and warm up.

Will be in Aruba on 12/29, planning on car rental for the day. Found nicely recommended snorkel spots however we don’t own snorkel gear. Sounds like some beaches offer to rent, wondering what everyone has found. Thanks!

Same same 🙄

Still waiting on my email with link. I noticed a cruise we’ve booked is on the list, wonder how price compares. Anyone else not get email yet?

I’m a retired RN and hubby a retired MD. We both got verified by sending copy of our licenses.

Great idea!

Thank you!

We did a partial transit as well, through the new locks. Hubby was up and out before dawn to get a place overlooking the bow. The above suggestions were perfect in that it is a great idea to go up high and move around to see it all. We had an aft balcony cabin and enjoyed the vantage point from there after traversing all the locks. We took an excursion that day (would never do that again!) and it was incredibly hot and humid. It was a tour at the Visitor Center not far from the ship (mildly interesting) and then a bus &train tour to West coast, Colon. Nothing much to see, stopped for restrooms and everyone got ice cream. Train ride back which took forever, were supposed to have lunch enroute, we were handed small boxes of cheese, sausage and crackers with a bottle of water. Long, slow, hot train ride back. We were then delayed going to ship as they were not at the port yet so we were taken to a shopping center to a touristy/souvenir shop to kill time. We were two hours later getting back to ship and actually departed late due to waiting for remaining passengers. So…….you may want to follow above advice and stay on the ship. Locks and canal ARE impressive though! Just my two cents. 🤷‍♀️

Hi there, I always take detergent pods and a few dryer sheets. Makes for easier packing. Those laundry rooms can get crazy busy at times. I would avoid sea days at all cost! I usually try to do a load late afternoon in between getting ready for dinner. Seems to be a less busy time as most are doing other things. Also when it first opens, usually around 8am. There are signs stating the hours. Don’t know how much it differs from ship to ship, but on the several Princess ships I’ve been on, there are usually four washers and four dryers. And several irons and ironing boards.

Will be visiting Aruba for the day end of this month. Anyone know of interesting shops (not typical souvenir/touristy) in local area not too far from cruise pier? Thanks for any suggestions. Also, any rum tasting spots?

Yes re: sneezing/coughing at buffet! Ugh! Packing those gloves are a great idea!
