Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Bid on a Club Reserve minisuite on our early February Regal cruise. Had zero expectation of success since ALL minisuites and suites were listed as Sold Out for weeks before the sailing. Imagine my surprise when an email arrived saying my bid had been accepted less than 72 hours before sailing.
  2. We have been on the Regal Princess three times in the last 15 months and will be sailing on the Enchanted in early April. Your experience at having difficulty playing at the Hold'em table echoes our exact experience on the Regal (minor correction: WPT Heads Up Hold'em is licensed from Galaxy Gaming and is in the casino on Carnival Corp lines/ships while Ultimate Texas Hold'em licensed from Shufflemaster is on RCCL/Celebrity ships. The games are very similar). There were no sign-up sheets on the Regal and so people were forced to stand and wait and wait and wait at the table for an empty seat. I saw one man stand and wait almost five hours for a seat. People would sit down in the afternoon and play until closing without even going to dinner. Total insanity. I have asked about adding a second table more times than I care to count. I point out the need to address this on every survey. I have talked to multiple casino management people. Invariably they respond with some form of shoulder-shrugging and the implausible argument that "there's nothing we can do". Nor do they ever have an explanation as to why the Ruby Princess, a Grand class ship with a smaller passenger capacity (3080) than the Royal-class Regal (3660) has TWO of these tables. Sounds like more frustration ahead for our April cruise. Bummer.
  3. I like Italian red wine. It is surprising and disappointing to me that there are none by the glass on either the Plus or the Premier list.
  4. Just off the Regal last week. Nothing in the Patter but quite a few passengers seemed to be participating in "Slob Night".
  5. I'd like them to offer unlimited casual dining (Alfredo's) for Elite instead of the current cheapo two per cruise. This won't cost them any more then it did before they changed the Plus package.
  6. I was on the on the Regal in early November. I ordered a double scoop of coffee gelato in a sugar cone at Gelato in the Piazza. I asked the server and was told there would be no charge as I have the Plus Package. Indeed, no charge appeared on my account.
  7. I am currently sailing on the Regal. Yesterday I ordered a double scoop of coffee gelato in a sugar cone at Gelato in the Piazza. I asked the server and was told there would be no charge as I have the Plus Package and, indeed, no charge appears on my account.
  8. We docked in Moorea on the Tahitian Princess way back when. We prebooked an Avis rental car and circumnavigated the island. Made various stops along the way.
  9. Curiously enough, Princess sent an email today that included this which answers the question...
  10. I was wondering if White and Gold night takes place on a formal night. Searching for an answer yielded conflicting results with some people saying yes and others saying it's a separate night. Can any recent cruisers clarify?
  11. Princess should make Alfredo's free for Platinum Captain's Circle and above. This might be a small step in the right direction for those who (rightfully) think that current CC perks are on the meager side.
  12. This has not been our experience on any of the 12 Princess cruises we have taken. I don't know if the announcement you referred to is over the PA system or in the Patter, but we have never once encountered either type. We are familiar with the Wheelhouse Bar and typically enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail there. However, on our last two cruises, both on Grand class ships, Ruby and Sapphire, the music in there was so undanceable that requesting anything seemed pointless.
  13. As it turns out, tango lessons are not quite as unlikely as you speculated. This is from my Sapphire cruise in Alaska in August...
  14. Just to be clear, two were legit freebies from the Plus package and the other two were due to screw-ups in billing us.
