Hello from the Majestic Princess!

[canadianaustralian]

Hi I am hoping someone on board could confirm that they do chai tea at the international cafe and if so if it is loose leaf or powder.

Thanks in advance.

The Thai chi was done up on deck on the Coral, not sure if they were powdered or loose. 😉

Never mind the Thai Chi, The other week on Coral I went to Zumba in the Universe Lounge, I am still recovering, too old for that  stuff, lol.🕺

The do. I don't know what it is made from, but suspect it will be a scoop of flavour powder. Short of a current cruiser, I can find out in person on Thursday.

Well Stu,

I gather you are home by now. How did it stack up?

[canadianaustralian]

Thanks for that Geoff.

Was just on Coral Princess and they had none so my wife was wanting to pack 42 days supply on our b2b2b 😳

I used to always take tea overseas to drink then bring special teas home, so understand your wife stacking up.  I cruised from Hawaii once and all the teas were sweet tea - ugh!  The bought real tealeaves and teabags in Tahiti, then restocked in Fiji.

Thanks for posting Stu....I am just catching up.

Love a good Equator Ceremony, Princess do it well.

Majestic not my fav Princess ship but we did like the Hollywood pool area. Is that forward area still free? I think it is the only Royal class that you don't have to pay for it.

 

Yep, the Hollywood pool area is still free 🙂

Calm seas and sunshine just what you needed.

Did they have any Hawaiian activities to get you in the mood for Hawaii?

Enjoy Hawaii!  

 

Yep, there where some Hawaiian dancers onboard teaching the Hawaiian dance etc..

for those on the majestic princess at the moment, just wondering if any enrichment lectures have been provided on sea days?

 

 

Yep, we have had enrichment lectures for the sea days.

 

We had three lectures for the cruise, two for the first leg (LA to Papeete and another from Papeete to NZ).

Nice  did you have a go?  One of the best days I spent on the big island of Hawaii was a Senior's competition, where they did the hula sitting on chairs.  Afterwards I asked the compere for a recommendation of Hawaiian music to buy - not commercial rubbish sold in shops.  He said most of them are here, playing for their grandmothers!

@Kiwi_cruiser

Are they doing Ultimate Balcony Dining?

 

We have booked one for the following cruise, but one of the Coral F&B managers said they weren't allowed to offer them on Coral.

 

I did not hear anyone having the Ultimate Balcony Dining, nor did I see it advertised any where.

Thanks for your continuing coverage of your cruise, despite  the difficult slow internet.  Glad you got off the ship in Papeete.  Did you drive around on le truck?  Sorry your scuba dive was a disappointment.  Did you get your crepe from food trucks on the wharf?  Were you allowed to get ferry to Moorea for a day trip, as it is such a beautiful island?  I hope you sre able to disembark in NZ without too much delay.  

 

The Snorkelling was bad, the Scuba diving was great :D

 

No we did not do the le truck, this time.

 

Yep, we got the crepes from food trucks on the wharf :), They where Yum!

 

We have been to Moorea before. but some of our roll call members where going to Moorea, and I think they might have made it there, but I would need to check the roll call to be sure.

Could you please tell me what type the power outlets in the cabins are?

Also do they have Diet Coke on board (as opposed to sugar free)?

Good news indeed.  I didn't expect that on a cruise from US.
