Hope all aboard have a wonderful cruise!

 

I'll be cruising vicariously with you. DH and I were supposed to be on this one and the next, but some pesky surgery got in the way :(

 

Happy Thanksgiving and fair winds and following seas!!

Wendy - have a fantastic cruise! Looking forward to the details in anticipation of my Christmas cruise. If you happen to wander through the shops, I'd be interested to know if they are carrying Chanel skin care and make-up. I thought I saw a display in early pictures from last summer.

 

Bon Voyage!

Hi Wendy,

 

I'm excited for you to experience the Royal. I think she is a beautiful ship and we had a great time.

 

If Nat, the dance instructor, is still on the ship,,would you mind getting his full name for me? I want to write a commendation for him on my Follow up review from Princess but neglected to get his name.

 

Thanks so much.

I love the Royal Princess. It has good karma (even though the elevator guy scolded me when I tried to touch the floor buttons. He does it. LOL

 

Embarkation was a breeze. My daughter dropped us off at 11:22 at the curb with our bags and we were walking on to the ship at 11:44. :)

 

I put my carryon thru the xray machine and I heard the guy watching the pictures ask the other guy "one bottle is ok, right?" and that other guy pointed to a table to the right and said "just go over there so they can check". There were three people at that table so I looked back and those security guys paid no attention after that so I just kept walking. :) I only had one wine bottle in my carryon so I was legal...but didn't feel like waiting on line. I had a ship to get on!!!

 

I love the minisuite. Yes the balcony is smaller than others but no biggie and I immediately sat on the toilet (fully clothed) and reached for the toilet paper and thought "this is what people complain about?" Really??? Also not a biggie. The bathroom is very nice, the big tvs are nice and I'm glad I read cc cause I would have been in the dark cause no one tells you the keycard has to be in the slot for the lights to work!

 

Will let you know on zumba and formal nights.

 

That's all for now...I'm off to explore!!!

When the roll isn't new, it's not a biggie. But when they put a brand new roll in, you'll find yourself struggling to get more than one square at a time. They should either use smaller rolls or when first put into the holder, take a bit off so that the paper actually rolls. :)

Just finished muster in the casino. Zzzzz back at the cabin now to drop off the life jackets and called for crown grill reservations for tonight. No problem. (Chefs menu wasnt thrilling tonight) my suitcase arrived but Ron's has not. Uhoh! Perhaps his boxed wine won't make it.

 

Gloria...Lew has good taste! :)

Would like to know the Zumba schedule and what nights are formal. Thank you!! Have an awesome vacation and Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Zumba is basically everyday at 8:30 and at 5 . They alternate the location between the Sports Deck and Princess Live. Once I get home I can confirm the schedule. I think there was only one day where there was only one class . My DW was quite pleased with the Zumba offerings. They also had a Brazilian line dance class that could be consideredImageUploadedByForums1385341202.993557.jpg.641b7ca832182bc33f041ac9410707dd.jpg Zumba lite. On the last day my DW had three Zumba/ dance classes in a 4 hr period of time.

 

The pictures are from Ned's Brazilian line dance class in the Piazza.
