Princess Chatter has a new look after an unwanted forced upgrade.  Next on the to-do list is a Princess news update and a Princess daily unofficial schedule update.

Forced? Or non optionally invited : ::)
Anyway, glad to have you back Mike

Cruising Chatter / Re: 'We want refund!' Angry cruise passengers protest skipped ports

People who just the other day missed Princess Cays due to a generator failure on the island were given $75 per person which I though was pretty generous.
Usually when we miss any port the most we get in compensation is our port fees back.

Princess News & Princess Chatter / Navy and Coast Guard team up to rescue Grand Princess passenger
« Last post by Host Mike on January 06, 2020, 08:25:13 PM »
"The Navy and Coast Guard in Hawaii rang in the New Year by teaming up to rescue a 69-year-old passenger from a cruise ship 210 miles northwest of Hilo.

A Navy MH-60R Sea Hawk helicopter crew from Kaneohe Bay-based Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 37 conducted a medevac off the Grand Princess while a Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point HC-130J Super Hercules long range surveillance aircraft provided overhead communications support, according to a Coast Guard email sent to Navy Times early Thursday.

The Easyriders transferred the patient to Hilo Medical Center for treatment but his condition is unknown at this time, officials said.

“The Coast Guard and the Navy often work together during search and rescue operations in the Pacific,” said Operations Specialist 3rd Class Craig Howarth, a Coast Guard Sector Honolulu watchstander, in the statement."

Princess News & Princess Chatter / Princess cruise ships add Panasonic 4K projectors to stage shows
« Last post by Host Mike on January 06, 2020, 06:05:09 PM »
The Sky Princess is the first cruise ship in a fleet of more than 100 to be outfitted with Panasonic’s new PT-RQ50KU 3-Chip DLP Solid Shine Laser Projector. It will be used for 5-Skies, a new production show in the Princess Cruises fleet that blends live actors and projected imagery.

Panasonic has teamed up with Princess Cruises to deliver 4K projectors for the fleet of cruise ships that will make onboard theater entertainment more immersive. It’s a step that shows what interactive group entertainment will be like in the future.

The Panasonic PT-RQ50KU laser projector combines native 4K resolution at 50,000 lumens of brightness with separate red and blue Solid Shine laser-phosphor technology. Typical projectors are around 5,000 lumens.
