bedrick Posted June 18, 2022 #252 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Wonderful to have live reports thanks so much for your time and trouble. Could you please tell us how full the ship is and if the number of staff still seems to be about the same ratio to passengers as before. What is the age group of most of the passengers? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our last cruise, I asked was there any chance of resurrecting my favourite mocktail, a Chocobanana, and the guy produced it. So I would imagine they might give you what ever was available in a mocktail alternative. Cross my fingers for you...😁 A chocobanana smoothie …😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I believe it’s 55% capacity passengers? 953 with 900 crew? there are quite a lot of passengers I would say in the 40’s and 50’s not all in the upper category as we are? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These short cruises seem to attract the younger mob, they like a party. Yes I know Cbtours is doing a few B2B. I wonder if the current 55% occupancy will increase as they go through the cruises? Reckon it will. This is a test one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon they will be easing into it too. Not surprising they are super cautious. The sip and cover is super cautious seeing as restaurants in general have been once your seated your fine. You can’t see the sign I realise but we’re sitting outside explorers and the sign says sip and cover. Sip your drink and cover up quick! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love blue cheeses, always grab a big chunk when its available. 😁 Wife tells me to seal it, doesn't want her fridge all smelly. Don't know what's she is talking about, I can't smell anything smelly.😇 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porky55 Posted June 18, 2022 #271 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Read a review yesterday that referred to “lots of Blue cards on board”. (First I had heard the term 🙄) He then went on to explain - blue cards/first time cruisers. I guess they are now “Blue Medallions” 😆 though Blue Card seems apt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring on the longer cruises and the ‘blue cards’ will return to PnO. Unlike all us retirees with too much time on our hands 🤣😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is why many of the elitist elites hate the medallion - it was easier to just wave your black card around the blue carders. I must admit, I am a bit surprised there would be so many first time Princess cruisers. Being the first cruise, I thought it would be full of regular fans. Still, there is always plenty of first time cruisers and first time brand cruisers on every cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
