hot chocolate is at a cost on board. Unless you get a coffee card then you get 15 espresso drinks for the card and free brewed coffee, hot chocolate and specialty tea with the card.

 

However saying this, on the last three Alaskan Cruises they have always had free hot chocolate and also broth up on the Lido deck for free.

 

thanks for the pics they are very well done and so detailed.

My selections - square biscuit, cantaloupe, waffle, bacon, link sausage, polish sausage, corned beef hash, Princess version of hash browns, pineapple.

No swimming immediately after a meal is a myth. ;)

Loving your photos. I hope you toured the Midway -- I had an amazing day there a few years ago.

 

Thank you for the photo of the tea box. I knew they had Twinings onboard, yet every time I post that here, I'm contradicted. You have proven me correct and now I can stop doubting my sanity (well, at least on this particular issue).

Will be taking the 2 week itinerary around Cape Horn (South America) end of January aboard the Golden. Am thrilled to have your pictorial review of this ship. Never been on her. Also am impressed with how so many pix of your have no other PAX in them you must have run around taking photos before others boarded. Thank you so much. I was excited before. Now I can't wait. :D:D

I didn't tour the Midway but did walk around it.

 

The primary tea brand was Bigelow but they did have some Lipton and Twinings.

Been around Cape Horn on Carnival Splendor - it's a great cruise.

 

I mostly, but not always, avoid people. :)

Thank you for the excellent pics. What kind of camera do you use?

You're welcome. A Nikon D7000, mostly with a 18-200mm zoom, or the 10-24mm zoom.

There were a lot of anniversaries and birthdays on the ship. Perhaps no more than on other cruise lines, but Princess seemed to highlight.
