My wife wants to try a "BIG" ship this year and she has Mexico or
Caribbean on Princess to choose from. We were on the Diamond in 2006
but though it kind of "average".

I can't really ferret out the info off the Princess web site and since
she won the trip, we don't want to bug the local TA.

Anyone know what the biggies are?

Thanks

What beverages are included with dinner in the dining room? Is there
a charge for milk or a coke?

When people purchase soda cards, is that just for the lounges; or are
sodas available for free in the Windjammer Cafe? If not, what
beverages are available in the Windjammer Cafe?

Thanks.

We're looking at a cruise on Emerald Princess next year, having just
finished one on Diamond Princess. Can anyone suggest a good source for
finding her theater seating capacity? Diamond's Princess Theater has 900
seats for 2670 passengers, and it doesn't take a math genius to see that it
gets filled to capacity, especially when the shows are popular and run only
2-3 times. We were turned away more than once because we couldn't find a
seat and I hesitate to book another cruise without knowing the theater
seat-to-passenger ratio. I've not found this info online anywhere, but I
bet some of you can tell me where to look. I also want to dig up the same
info on Crown Princess and Ruby Princess also.
Thanks for any help.

Is anybody discounting Royal Caribbean cruises?

Hi,

has anyone experience with tours offered by the cruiseline AIDA or self
organized tours - espescially in Panama, Costa Rica, Curacao and Grenada?
Which one would you recommend? Are there serious alternatives to the quite
expensive offers from the cruiseline?

Thanks a lot for your answer!

The Fall Trans Atlantic on the Regatta was to make a Port call at Ponta Delgada
in the Azores on November 16th. That is now a day at Sea and instead we will
call at Funchal, Madeira, on the previous day, November 15th.

This is fine with me because Funchal was such a neat Port that I wanted to go
back again someday and do some touring of the interior of the Islands anyway.

Might even do that Basket Ride again, that was too much fun to be legal.
