Cruising Tips Chatter / Re: 5 Big Cruise Balcony Mistakes

On the 13th deck of the MSC Divina you will find these small, narrow balconies.
MSC Divina Deck 13 Aft Balcony


And I though the Royal class ships had small balconies.  :o

Things you CANNOT bring...


Homemade food from home -=This I've never heard of before.
Pool floats Princess does allow noodles in the pool. I just picked up an inflatable one for our next Regal cruise.

213
One of the latest items is that the crew on Princess gets unlimited internet service for $60 per month.
They are also monitored closely to see that they don't share the service withe others.

214
I'd venture to say more than "most of the time".  ;)

You probably get some deals on those cabins if your lucky but I'm convinced that some of those cabins are held back & only sold if they can get last minute buyers.

Not that I know for sure but I suspect there are many cabins that have had numerous complaints form previous sailings, such as AC problems, plumbing issues, noise problems & location on the ship.
We've received guarantee cabins in the past & always seem to have been assigned out of the way cabins locations.
We now prefer to choose our location knowing what to expect. At least we can do some searching to see if that cabin has a bad history.

216
We always travel with our passports BUT I've also been told that a copy will help out if the original isn't available.
I do have paper copies but recently have begun to keep a copy in Google docs.

I'm not sure if it would do much in any situation but it's available if needed along with birth certificates, drivers licence & anything else that I though might help for id.

 :D :D :D
Almost all of their comments are laughable at times.

219
Nothing new....It's to be expected going on a Princess tour.
It's become hard to find any tour less than $100 p/p lately.

220
Do they really check out people that closely entering Canada?

221
I suppose the warning by RCI spurred them to do something similar instead of ignoring it as they have in the past.
This has been going on for years now & it's about time the local government does something about it.

Against my better judgement we decided to return to the Caribbean in March one more time before the beginning of the summer season on the Crown Princess. We selected an obstructed view cabin which isn't typical for us on Emerald deck.
I know there's no problem with the location but I've got my fingers crossed about the AC being sufficient. :-\
Time will tell.

Cruising Tips Chatter / Re: What to know when considering spa treatments
« on: February 04, 2019, 06:09:37 AM »
It's become a ripoff for just about most things that are sold on any of the ships lately. Almost nothing that they sell as an "extra" is worth the money.
The only price reduction I've seen is for photo's over the years & that's only if you buy the package. Individually the price remains HIGH.
Spa treatments are probably one of their biggest profit margin items.... but still they can sell them (as well as their products) to the newbies.

The other day at the Puerto Maya Pier there were so many people being checked for food as they exited the pier that they had to open the walkway to the left side of the shops. It must have taken us up 15 or 20 minutes to exit the checkpoint since they only had two inspectors working with their dogs.   :o
A very frustration way to start the day.  :-\
