That menu does not even have half of the items from the other ships! 🤷♂️

Not that I'm aware of?

We always obtain local currency from our bank for all the countries we will be visiting. This usually amounts to $200 per country, that we use for gratuities and small purchases from vendors that do not take credit cards.

LACruiser88 replied to JamieLogical's topic in Princess Cruises
We were on the Enchanted this past Nov/Dec for 26 days. We had a fantastic time. For details you can peruse our "Live" thread below by expanding my signature. Enjoy! -

As I posted on the Sun thread, the Royal class ships are looking better and better everyday!!! 🤷♂️

I just noticed the error on my previous post and it was too late to edit, it should read "from this past Nov/Dec." Also, I have yet to see "all" of the Cabanas booked on any of our many cruises. So, hopefully that will be the case on your sailing. Enjoy!!!

If you book a cruise onboard, you can still have it assigned to your TA. The same Future Cruise folks also took over the onboard Captain Circle duties. And, they are also the same company that manages the upgrade bid process.

Sun Princess Staterooms & Categories
LACruiser88 replied to Host CJSKIDS's topic in Princess Cruises
Does the mini-suite in the photos look narrower than the current mini's on the other Princess ships or is it just the orientation of the photos??? -
We avoid all cabins under the buffet or pools. Our standard rule is to always have cabins above and below us.

A Long Time Princess Cruiser Tries Oceania
LACruiser88 replied to azbirdmom's topic in Princess Cruises
Thank you for taking the time to write your detailed report. We have been on one "O" cruise about 10 years ago. We went with friends that cruise once a year on "O." We had an okay time, but for the cost of the 10-day cruise we could have cruised on Princess for at least 20 days. In the end, we did not find it cost effective to cruise again with them. -
Since my retirement in 2010 and minus the Covid stoppage, we have been cruising 75 to 100 days per year. We like cruises of around 30 to 50 days in length. Debbie has me on a restriction of no more than 60 consecutive days away from home. Life is to short to stay home!

We had similar experience at the last few M&G's we attended. We were so embarrassed! Needless to say we no longer attend M&G's.

@Astro Flyer We tried several different items from the menu. Our favorites were the Nicoise Salad (photo below), Grilled Swordfish, Crab Cakes, Dover Sole (5 stars!), and the Mussels. The Nicoise Salad is almost a meal in itself. Also, the Profiteroles (called something else on the menu) was by far the best dessert (photo below). You can get them filled with Vanilla gelato or Chantilly cream. We will be on the Majestic, 33-days, Sydney to Seattle embarking on April 10th.
