    Yes, I do As soon as program is available in the cabin for the next day.
    I also pick up a daily program on my way to breakfast.
    I read what kind of activities thats going on that day and also if there are any "specials" of any kind. I also read about the ports we are visiting.
    I usually tear off the part which only lists the daily activites by hours and carry it with me.
    I also bring the program ashore as it has the port agents name, address and telephone number and also the time when we have to be onboard.
    The programs that are delivered to the cabin I keep and bring with me home

    Absolutely! How else would I know how to plan my day? Like Lars, we tear off the activity sheet and Bob carries it in his pocket.

    We take a yellow highlighter and mark the activities we are interested in doing so we don't miss them.

    We are late seating for dinner. After dinner I go back to the room because the next day schedules are there. I take them to the show lounge & look through them while we are waiting for the show to start. I mark everything & then I too tear it off & put it in purse. I like all the activities, games, cooking classes, pool activities, etc. I don't want to miss anything !!!

    Looks like we are all in agreement! I do all of the above also. DH knows what I have planned for the next day and I also might write in between the times if there is something special we plan to do, like a tour or meet up with freinds for pre-dinner drinks etc. It is the one thing that goes everywhere with me and my cruise card.

    I like reading the little section they have on the history of the next port of call. I also love seeing the little box where they remind us to turn our clocks back an hour

    We look forward to returning to our room in the evening and reading the Princess Patter, thus we plan the next day. We also enjoy reading about the port we are about to visit.

    On our first cruise I started a tradition of reading the Patter (of other newsletter on different lines) outloud to my D/W every night. This tradition continued for many years, probably about 20-25. Now I read it and pass in on for her to read. She still caries around the tear off sheet during the day.
