Cruising Tips Chatter / Did this cruise line actually ban Vaseline and my sunscreen?

"I expected to find the usual list of banned items, including drugs, weapons, candles, irons and hot plates. Much to my surprise, though, the only things listed were chemicals — including chemicals found in the sunscreens and cosmetics I planned to pack."

"The volunteer lifeboat crew launched the All Weather Lifeboat at just gone 17:30 and motored towards the Regal Princess as it headed East down The Solent.

Rendezvousing off Lee-on-Solent, the lifeboat crew transferred the poorly passenger and made best speed to Portsmouth Harbour."

Cruising Tips Chatter / Cruise kids clubs
« Last post by Host Mike on May 04, 2024, 02:31:58 PM »
"Cruise kids clubs are a combination of daycare, camp and a super-cool clubhouse. Families can drop off their kids and teens for as little as an hour to as long as nearly a full day for supervised play with other cruisers their age. The spaces for kids on a cruise ship are often clustered together, though tween and teen clubs might be separate."

Good information. I imagine it depends on the type and age of the TV in the cabin. Watching on a laptop is not the best experience, with it's limited audio capability.
Selecting the correct input from the TV menu isn't an option I was able to find on the Ruby, but these are likely older sets than the Enchanted.
Another less pressing item is the Captains and Cruise Directors announcements. It would be wonderful if Princess had a transcription of the announcements on
one of the channels... something that would scroll off in a day or so. I've missed many of these, and likely one or two were actually something I wish I hadn't missed.

On the Ruby last Nov, it was possible to switch inputs using the toggle switch at the bottom of the wall mounted TV. Similar to the Enchanted.

Obviously it's in Princess' interest to minimize the perks associated with a long cruise, but booking such a cruise as a series would yield significantly more rewards for a passenger.
Princess might want to rethink how that upsets passengers.
Not that I would ever be that interested in a world cruise but something tells me that pricing the complete trip as a series of trips would be significantly higher.
