Last time I went to the Caribbean we had formal night, new ship might have new rules though.

Discovery Princess last month.

Lovely pictures, the balcony space is bigger than I was expecting!

We had Bingo on Discovery Princess in October.

The additional information on my last cruise last month appeared on the screens by the lifts. Mask mandates, photo id required ashore etc.

Got a reply yesterday (3 weeks to the day) saying they will send me a cheque in around 3 weeks maybe longer.

Do you get travel insurance with your bank?

They just drop the price until it fills up, never heard of them cancelling a cruise for that reason. They still have to pay the staff.

Daily menus only appear when you are on the ship.

I got off Discovery Princess last week and it had afternoon tea in the MDR, this was a Californian Coastal so it wasnt pandering to the British.

No cans unfortunately, just fountain soda.

I got off Saturday and my Bingo winnings had disappeared from my statement. I emailed customerrelations@princesscruises.com and via the princess.com website. Not heard back yet though it does say 7 day response.

Its approved at the AGM in March, cant see them stopping it, the share price is irrelevant.

I asked them on Facebook and got a very nice reply saying yes the Twilight check in is available!

I would imagine that it could be possible if it's a Jet2 scheduled flight, but maybe not if it's a P&O charter.

Indeed my worry is that its a P&O charter flight. With the flight being 6am we wont get a lie-in but maybe less time queueing.

Flying out to Tenerife in February on Jet2 and wondering if we can use the Jet2 early bag drop off the night before. Our flight is 6am, anyone any experience of this:

Twilight Check-in™

Flying before 12pm? Great news! You can use our terrific Twilight Check-in™ service! Your morning flight is about to get a whole lot easier...

With our free Twilight Check-in™ service, you can drop your bags off at your UK departure airport between 4:30-9pm the evening before your morning flight.

Im on this voyage and this just popped up on my cruise personaliser:

Turn your WiFi off and you wont be able to connect to the ship.

Regal Princess cabin with kettle out of Southampton.

The ship provides a WiFi signal, if you turn on roaming it will connect to a phone signal (as opposed to WiFi) as its data you want. Should be fine, I have done it several times.

Data and WiFi are two separate connections, you will sign into WiFi.

You only need 2 vaccines and a booster which can be at any time before travel, no time limit on when you had the booster.

Was a nice surprise for us too, we only got "up to" £100 though. Azura February for us 

When are you sailing will help with what to pack

If you plug a laptop into the TV its quite possible with the correct skills you could get onto the ships internal network, you dont want that!

I did MSC in June for the first time and found the food to be dreadful, school dinners were better. Never again
