    According to multiple sources (internet) her last drydock was in January 2020.  She is currently scheduled for April 16 - 30, 2022 in Marseille (Chantier Naval de Marseille, the largest drydock in the Mediterranean).

    I am booked on the 16 to 23rd of April 2022 from Barcelona to Rome.  Today  is April 5th and there is no dry dock on schedule.

    So, I've never been on Princess, but my family of 4 is cruising in a carnival interior cabin in 2 weeks. My baby is 11 months and daughter is 3.5. We requested a crib for the baby, and the plan for 3.5 year old is to sleep in the upper Pullman. She has slept in a regular twin bed since age 2 with no rail so I'm not worried. If she doesn't like it we will put my husband up there instead.

    At 4 and 1 you guys could do a similar arrangement.

    your child might have slept in a bed with no rail. but this is a ship that might rock during the night and that is very dangerous.

    My 7 year old fell out of the bed and thankfully our beds were placed under his bunk so that the child fell onto our bed.

    Neith Passover nor Easter on Sapphire

    in Princess Cruises

    Posted

    Just returned from 9 days on our first cruise. All of the advice from this forum did help a lot, and to give something back we already scanned the patters and posted a review (which probably is in the pipeline for approval).

     

    One thing that really surprised us and other guests was how they handled Passover and Easter. No decorations, no eggs, no bunnies, no special menus, no services (the Hearts & Minds chapel on Sapphire is now a shop). The cruise director couldn't even find a corner in one of the 5 dining rooms for Passover dinner. He did however reserve a couple of tables in the cafeteria/HC.

     

    Is this really the standard for Princess? If so... are any of the other lines doing a better job?

     

    Sorry you were disappointed.

    I and my family were on the Emerald 2 years ago during Passover, and I arranged - with the Dining Room Manager and the ship's Chef, to have a Seder - and to have it announced in the ships daily newspaper. We were given a large Lounge and we had 55 persons attending. After the actual Seder, we were led to reserved seats in the main dining room and a Special Passover Menu handed out to all of us. I think that any special events have to be requested upon boarding the ship and if they require out of the ordinary attention, this should be requested.
