« Last post by Host Mike on May 17, 2024, 08:45:31 AM »
"The Regal Princess, which was carrying over 3000 passengers, didn't stop at Portland, Dorset because of a demonstration taking place against the barge.

Princess Cruises, the owners of the vessel, cited passenger and crew safety as the reason the ship stayed at sea rather than docking."

We have a b2b2b booked for the fall, in an Oceanview cabin. From what I've seen of the amenities for this cabin, it's quite pleasant.
I will be exploring like a kid on the new ship... looking forward to this cruise immensely.

Looks like we may see you on board.  :D

It's similar to our home insurance that tool us 1 1/2 years to get a settlement on.
Upfront they cover just about everything but when you make a claim it's not what you expect.
They're all the same.

Pay it upfront or pay it later. Not much difference to me.

The server on Princess Chatter is only showing part of the picture so the distortion in the original on the story link may be a poor rendering.
