    I found the inside cabins on the new Princess ships are quite roomy. I really liked them.

    Vancouver does the best they can with e ships in port. It’s better for lines to move than be stagnant. Yes I live here and we sailed on Discovery last September and loved it.

      @@debbywoolbright7953I got through security fairly easily because I was using a cane at the time. Talk to the port officials and mention that you need help. There are many port workers there that can help you. The Princess onshore staff helped me too.

    Glad you are enjoying Vancouver and Discovery Princess. I was on her last May when she did her first sailing out of Vancouver. Duval was the cruise director on that sailing as well., you will have a great time with him. Enjoy

    oooh it's all new. First time Princess cruisers used to get a blue medallion, now it looks like it's gone white. We were on Sky Princess with the same layout. It was a lovely ship. We loved the Marketplace Buffet and the International Cafe, who knew you'd want a cake or sandwich at 03:00am in the morning. ...lol. Taking our second cruise on Sky Princess again in Norway and Finland in Oct 24. Really looking forward to seeing some nice Fjords. Happy Cruising x

    Really lovely to see what embarkation day is like. As you mentioned there was 3 ships in. Never too much bread Stacey...!! And also pizza for seconds and why not !! I know it can be so frustrating when things don't go to.plan. could hear you kev, grumbling love your facial expressions. They say it all. I've just come back from anthem of the seas from Southampton. Will let you know more about that another time. Please keep up the fab info. You really do make a difference and help so many.

    On our last Princess cruise we managed to book the Sanctuary for 3 sea days but shortly afterwards it was booked out. Problem was there were dozens of no shows and you only get charged if you turn up. This just stops others from using it. Princess need to put a surcharge on for no shows unless you cancel before your slot starts. It’s so selfish and unfair to those that don’t get an early boarding time

    • @OneCouplesAdventure
