  1. I took my HT on a Disney cruise many years ago and attracted quite a crowd whenever we were arriving or leaving since I could hear the communications. I did not attempt to transmit. I know that some cruise lines specifically do not allow amateur radio equipment on board. The occasion above was my first and only time to bring a radio onboard, Rick, KQ4Y
  2. I really wish that Princess was more proactive about this. Often, at the buffet, there was no washy-washy person. It would also be a good idea to mention to those who may be feeling a little sick to be careful about washing and maybe wearing a mask. Instead, the rest of us are fighting off the germs that are being spewed everywhere. While this is better than our first round of the virus, I slept for two days straight and now just feel like I have a regular cold. My wife, who had already has a weakened immune system and long covid from round one in 2020, is still bedridden. I don't know-it was a great cruise until we got in the plane to come home. But, is it worth it to be jammed together with so many people in close quarters?
  3. Turn out it wasn’t a cold. We contracted Covid. I’m guessing there was a lot of it on the ship.
  4. We’re sitting at LHR as our flight is delayed about 5 hours. It was a very good trip but we both have colds now. There was so much coughing and sneezing on the tour busses that it was inevitable, I guess.

  6. We’ll be getting on the ship the day that you get off. Also in a mini suite on deck 15. I’ll be curious about the weather as it appears the previous cruise was cooler and wetter than some expected.
  7. A QR code showed up in the app today for our upcoming cruise. But there is only one, and my name is the only one on it. Should there be another one like there is for the airline,s or is the one code for all in the cabin? Thanks!
  8. We're on the Regal - 7/19. The app shows mine as shipped, but to pick up my wife's at the pier. Not sure why that would be. Not a big deal since we won't be home to get mine anyway!
  9. Right - I guess the name "Best of Paris" lets us know that it is a sampler. As long as we know that going in, we'll be fine with seeing a extra few sites on our last day - thanks!
  10. The city tour and cruise look good; maybe we should have booked it originally. It shows as sold out for our 7/19 cruise.
  11. We're on this one as well in a few weeks but are now having second thoughts. Other than the expensive snack, did you see enough to make it worth the trip?
  12. From now on, we will just pick them up at the port.
  13. We also paid $10 for shipping, but the medallion will arrive after we have left for London. I called, and they just said to pick up another one at the pier. Just for fun, since it's been 20 years since we've been on Princess, I ordered custom medallions. I guess the ones that we'll get at the pier will be generic?
  14. While I appreciate good coffee, I'll drink just about anything. However, my wife will not drink cruise ship coffee. So, I usually get her a coffee card or make other arrangements to get her AM buzz. We have not been on Princess in 20 years, and it seems that the only place to get better coffee is in the International Café. Is that correct?
  15. How did you cancel the shipment? We sail on 7/19 but will be gone from 7/6. I called Princess today to see what they could do, and they said that they couldn't change anything.
  16. We are on the July 19 sailing for this cruise and made a couple of bids just out of the lowest range. But, from the Princess website, it looks like the ship may be full, so there may not be much availability.
  17. It took us a long time to finally make it to Diamond on RCI, and the food quality had fallen drastically by the time we did. We're doing our first Princess cruise in 20 years this July and are keeping expectations low. But we are hoping for something better than RCI.
  18. Great - thanks! She eats seafood as well (making her a pescatarian). So, we'll be fine.
  19. My wife is vegetarian and we will be on this cruise in July. Do you know if they have a daily vegetarian menu as well as the vegan one?
  20. Right - flip flops are not good for touring. Our feet would get so sore!
  21. Shorts and flip-flops are my daily dress here as well!
  22. We've taken mostly Caribbean cruises, and we live in Florida. So, I live in shorts. We are taking a 12-night British Isles cruise in mid-July and don't want to stand out like a sore thumb by wearing shorts in port and on excursions if that's not the local custom. Any advice would be appreciated; thanks!
  23. I had all of my dinner reservations made and wanted to change a few. But, the system was "unavailable" all weekend and, as of Monday AM, appears to be down still. Maybe the IT folks will come to work today and fix it.
