Do you know how many passengers are onboard?  I had noticed that your cruise, like mine next month, had been listed as currently unavailable.   Full, or limited capacity due to staffing?  TIA.

During the captain's evening announcement he said "2700 or so".

The food is always great and Nelson and his crew make it even better.

"Pub lunch" will be the last sea day in one of the dining rooms. Too popular for a smaller venue.

 

Picture posting will continue, like it or not, but likely will wait until a sea day.

 

That is all....

More questions - thanks for being "in the know". Did Princess offer a shuttle from Cobh to Cork, or if the train was now running?

there was no Pub Lunch in May. Glad you get one!

I know a train was running. Where it went, I do not.

I am not on this cruise, but there have been posts on other threads about other cruises saying that a wine package has not been offered due to supply problems in obtaining the wines that would be needed.

Finally a sea day. On this cruise a head waiter told me the wine packages ere discontinued a few years ago - pre-pandemic. I know a lot of people have drink packages, and wines are available for both the regular and upgraded drink packages.

 

The MDR wine list seems to offer a variety. Breakfast/Brunch/Lunch/Wine/Dinner menu for today - a SEADAY!

When we were on the Emerald in May, many wines on their lists were not available. There was not even any Port in the dining room one night when it was clearly listed on the menu. It was a bit frustrating due to trying to stay at or under the $12.00 mark, many wines I selected were out. The list was already fairly short anyway. And then, it would be a 3-4 ounce pour at best. Innovation; order more than one glass at a time (for DH, 😉)

We found that our waiter quickly found out that I liked my wine, and so brought me a double pour !

Never found out if it got charged as a double on our PP package.

Love it! 😁

For those who think the wine is lacking or unavailable, do what I do. Order liquor. 🤣 Other than that, we have had many glasses of pinot grigio and simply asked that they keep them coming as needed. I haven't found the bottom of that bottle, yet.

 

I think Grey Goose is the well vodka. I've been drinking martinis which is a double pour, and not been charged anything.

From Dublin, we did a taxi tour to Sligo on the other coast to find some family roots. Not sure if anyone is interested in those pictures, although the area is beautiful.

Is this still accurate?

Jeepers - they already gave us luggage tags for debarking. Seems a little early, but oh well. Our passports were also returned.
