Sky Princess day four observations
Third of seven time changes occurred at noon today. Fortunately Captain’s noon announcement tells us what city is needed to reset our iPhone time. Yesterday it was a place in South Georgia. Today it was Praia, Cape Verde.
Princess Theater reserved seats are flagged for the Princess Premier $80 per day per person class. They are not in a prime location and they seem to stay empty.
Staff are standing at each entry door at the Shops of Princess. They are either there for hospitality or are they are there for enhanced inventory security.
We noticed that sandwiches are being generally served on small rolls.
One passenger service rep says that they don’t print transfer tickets unless they are sold on board. Another passenger service rep says that they print transfer tickets regardless of where they are sold.
I told Sarah, the young british cruise director assistant that I was from Oklahoma. She asked me if Oklahoma was in Central America. I told her that Oklahoma was located in North America just north of Texas. Then she asked if Oklahoma was a city or a state. I told her that it was both.
A few of the female passengers on board are dressing in clothing which hides nothing.
Princess claim to offering “the best WiFi at sea” on this voyage should say “the worst WiFi at sea.”
Ship elevator doors close so fast and so hard that a person could easily be injured.
The itinerant Catholic priest serving on cruise ships including the Sky Princess wears a red cap because he says his priest level falls between that of a bishop and a cardinal. When the cap blows away it costs him about $50 to replace it.
Some shortage of waiters in Fresh Market aka Horizon Court at noon.
Two day turnaround for Elite laundry on this half empty ship.
Minibar very limited trading options do not seem to match with the official Princess position.
For a time this morning the oatmeal toppings were near the oatmeal but then they were moved away. Cream-of-Wheat is by one day advance request. Figs are hard to find. Such is the life of a poor sailor.
Seems like there are a lot of Canadians, as always, on this voyage.
I took photos of the two 220 volt electrical outlets on the wall under the head of the bed. One was used to feed both bed lights and the other was unused. The outlets exactly match the European outlets on the desk.
Note to RichC – I chose to have no Princess pricy upgrades. I’m just Princess Standard in an ordinary balcony cabin (that happens to have a deeper deck) in the back of Dolphin deck very near the elevators. No noise is heard in the cabin from the elevator lobby.
