Was on the Ruby and Grand this past Mar - May. I ordered whatever ever comes with the Oreo cookie (that's what I really wanted). Only asked for vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup and the Oreo. No Oreos at that time so had a Snickers Bar instead of the Oreo.

We have been receiving the 10% shore excursion credit since the restart of cruising in 2021 It is listed on your folio under the credit column as - 10% Shorex Discount-Elite Member Exclu.

On the Ruby Princess right now and hubby has had pecans, peanuts and walnuts on the buffet so far

Never have bought it for a day at a time so didn't know there were different prices. Don’t know why it wasn’t explained that way when I asked. Thanks

Next segment starts on the 7th. Will know when I go to sign up for internet what the price will be. Just questioning what I was told

Looked back several days and couldn’t find mention of any changes for internet pricing. We are currently on the Ruby Princess with the Plus package. On our next segment we will not have a package so asked at the Internet Cafe what the internet charge for Elites would be. I was told that for the next cruise the price was increasing to $30 per day ($15 if Elites). Has anyone else heard of any increase for internet pricing?

Yes for the Ruby Princess

Only two days into our Ruby Princess cruise and the Easter Bunny and Spring Time are decorating doors on the Emerald deck. IMO decorations are fine.

We were told about the 18% when making the reservation at the CG and would be $92 for the two of us. We eat there in 2 days so will know for sure. This is on the Ruby so other ships might do it differently.

No matter what your app says if you are cruising on the Ruby Princess, you will pay $39 plus 18% for a meal. IMO, that is the current price for ships using the US$.

Twin set up all the time. IMO, we have more room no matter what cabin category.

Grand Princess has the Crown Grill instead of the Bayou which we also enjoyed around South America. So based on my cruise in Oct/Nov 2023, the price for Crown Grill equivalent to your Bayou, the price for the Steakhouse has increased $10AU. For our cruise from San Francisco to AU and NZ, we were cruising before the gratuities were added to different dining venues.. We don't cruise enough in AU or NZ to be experts on when or IF gratuities are charged for Au/NZ cruises.

The Crown Grill price in October/November 2023 on the Grand Princess sailing both in AU and NZ was $53 Australian Dollars - no 18% tip added. Before the Grand reached AU and was still under the US Dollars for their charges on board, the CG price was $39 with no 18% Tip.

Meant if we would have received $250US military for an Caribbean cruise we received $250AU for the military credit. All our OBC posted that way. Never been nor will be on a casino cruise but pricings posted by cruisers sound like a very good deal.

For our Australian cruise last Oct/Nov, however you look at it, when our OBCs (promo, military, FCC, Shareholder, TA) were all posted to our Folio, the amounts posted were exactly what we would have received if we had been on any non AU cruise. I did pass Math classes so not sure why all our OBCs would not be considered 1for 1. .
