A Diamond in the rough.

Our last night onboard wasn't a great sleep. I'd had a cold for a few nights and was even struggling to breathe one night. Woke multiple times for the last few nights but was finally feeling better and thought I'd enjoy a good night sleep. I'd kept MrP awake also. Stupid me.
Around 3am a group of passengers near our cabin thought a room service order was required. Perhaps they were doing a B2B. They caused so much racket - but then so did the crew serving them. Went to the bathroom as did MrP and finally had enough and opened the door to find 2 crew members talking outside the door. At 3am not the time for a chat. Finally got back to sleep then at 6am a bang on the door for passport delivery. Why the heck did they time it then? Many other options. Obviously it's there way of waking people up to get off on time. Not impressed.

Will write a full review of Princess later. I think I might be a Celebrity person :o
 
We have a wonderful late checkout of 4pm so perfect timing for flight tonight. Have to buy excellent quality single malt whisky for younger sons 27th birthday on day we arrive. See why I think you are a youngie TomV?

Browsing through suntec city currently waiting for 11am opening. Happen to be outside UNIQLO. ;)

Someone posted on CC about outright fights on our cruise. I didn't see them at all but also heard about them from other passengers on the last night. Crimea war kind of thing and I know exactly who was involved after an incident in the buffet with my good self. I thought it rather funny and didn't budge so nothing they could do but storm off.

Had a brilliant dinner last night but shops just opened so ttfn.

I'm older than he is though

Not the Ruskies ;).
 
Came back from shopping to find grump cat grumpy because his paws can't register on the Play button. At least he has good taste.

Speaking of cats - I did find this for a newly engaged bride to be.

Giordanos was dressed for Chinese New Year - The Rooster. It looked fabulous 'shake your tail feather.'

Gone with the Wind territory there? Or shades of perhaps Princess Di? Perhaps that's what we need for formal nights on QM2 :shock:

Oh and the supima cotton T-shirts from Uniqlo are great - I have several and just throw in the machine and in the dryer and they are still good. Have a couple of their merino machine wash jumpers as well which are still going strong.
 
I can't believe just how few kids there are. I was expecting masses but there just aren't that many. Lots of people doing that B2B.

This cruise is a hot one so the uncovered ones are baking. We've found if you keep the curtains opened even on our covered one that the air cond struggles. Also I can't stay in sunshine due to the meds I'm on - I got this weird sunburn in Bali late last year and do not want that again so covered is good for me.

I do love the mini suites though. Best cabin we've stayed in of all the cruiselines.

Two more glasses last night. Our last sea day of the trip. Four ports in a row now.

Bugger! I misjudged the kid factor then. Not to worry. Yes we love the minis on this Class ship as well. Our last 3 Princess cruises have been in full suites which are wonderful.

Very nice! On the other hand you missed the large groups from one particular country. ;)

Gosh the Q lounge in Singapore has lost the appeal factor. Food range not appealing. Had planned to sleep on plane and avoid dinner service.

Thats really awful to hear. We have never experienced anything like that. Have always had passports returned the evening before by the cabin steward.
