LIVE From the Caribbean Princess - New Panama Canal - Dec 10, 2017

[CanadianBurger]

That was unbelievably efficient. They opened the doors at 10:15, and we’re through security, check-in, and in the Elite lounge by 10:30. Nice view from here.

The Regal at 2 and the CB at 4.

 

A few refreshments in the Elite lounge.

 

She’s ready and waiting for us...

which terminal are you going out of and coming back into?

 

 

 

The Royal is back when we are, so I assume we’ll return to 4.

Thanks so much for this preview! We board on January 03.

 

Could you tell me what the price would be for the entire 10 days for the Sanctuary?

All nicely decorated.

The CB looks much nicer than the last time we were aboard her. New carpets and artwork.

We'll be returning to pier 4 on 12/20. For the cruise on Jan 3 it will be docked at pier 2 as the schedule shows now.

I miss the red or blue stripe in the carpet! Is the carpet color different on the other side of the ship now (I hope!)?

the reason I asked was on our last cruise on the Crown, we went out of 21 or maybe 27, and back into 2, so it was 2 different parking garages. We used park and ride since we knew it pre-cruise, but there were more than a few cruisers who had no idea that was happening

[CanadianBurger]

MDR Lunch. Service was fantastic, and food was great. Sometimes embarkation day is hit-and-miss, so we’re thrilled so far.

Nope. Same color on both sides. Too bad, because after sitting at Crooners for a while, knowing if you were port or starboard would be useful...

not sure which cruise line - maybe barnival , but the fish on the carpet were always swimming to the front of the ship in the cabin hallways

[CanadianBurger]

Muster Drill. Looking forward to ***** and not having to drag life jackets around.
