Princess News & General Princess Chatter / Re: Bar Harbor, Maine gets approval to limit cruise ship passengers

That's not really a negative. If they feel that their community is being ruined by too many passengers then it's a good move.

This would be a fascinating job. Not as if Princess would hire an old codger like myself. (This kind of active process control was one of my tasks in a steel plant.)

Wow, 1000 passengers. That's going to crimp the marketability of Bar Harbor for the cruise lines.

Next phase, we'll become our own cabin stewards. Unless you upscale to a package, of course.

We have a wonderful new app though. Upcoming hop, the Princess website has me berthed in a different cabin than the app. Strange, but unfortunately not beyond the scope of belief. So many opportunities to spend considerably more just aren't interesting me.

Premium debris viewing seating on the deck will be held until 5 minutes before splashdown. 🫣

"DELECTABLE dishes are found throughout the MAGNIFICENT new ship, with an ASTONISHING selection of 29 new and SIGNATURE dining and lounge options, offering everything from SAVORY journeys and ENTERTAINING eats to SUMPTUOUS sips and SATISFYING snacks."

That's an awful lot of FLUFF in that statement.
It had better be special after this build-up.

Pork bellies? No thanks. But offer me blue-cheese crisped onions and crisp bacon burger... that's the ticket!

Sun Princess Chatter / Re: Curtain call with ugly yellow light panels

Wow. That Pizza is a spartan example of minimalism.
The yellow does not evoke feelings of sunshine... it just plain screams unfinished. Is THIS where Princess is going with design?

Cruising Tips Chatter / Re: 5 Reasons to Prepay Your Cruise Tips; One Reason You Shouldn’t
« on: February 12, 2024, 09:56:00 PM »
The number one reason I don't prepay gratuities is that Princess offers zero financial incentive to do so. This merely amounts to an advance payment transfer, which in large volumes, works well for Carnival Corp.

Enchanted Princess Chatter / Re: When is the 2024 Love Boat cruise?

There's another "special" cruise we won't be on.  ;D ;)

Ditto, although we did go on a 'Survivor' themed cruise in 2004. That one was entertaining. But this Love Boat themed cruise has missed its window, so to speak.
