I couldn't get them to show us anything on the Sky. Every time I asked, she kept putting me off.

On my December Sky sailing, people were frustrated on line the first day because many of the reservations were already taken. It could be because there was a large group on board and they were taking over some areas of the restaurant but I went to change a reservation upon boarding and couldn't change the time or date of it at all and I went the first afternoon.

Park at pier 18, disembark at 25 in Port Everglades - help
Host CJSKIDS replied to tonto524's topic in Florida Departures
We have had this happen a few times. We simply drop our luggage off at the Pier we are embarking at (you're Pier 18) drive to the pier we are disembarking from (you're Pier 25) and park the car. Then we order an uber back to the embarkation pier. Works very well for us. -
I'm glad we had it for as long as we did!

At one point, the area where Princess Cay is was also an "unspoiled treasure" as well. Many of the residents are thrilled about this as it will create a lot of jobs and bring revenue to the island as the island's economy is depressed for lack of better term according to friends who live in the Bahamas and spend time there.

Review of the TSE cruise on the Discovery
Host CJSKIDS replied to Cruise Raider's topic in Princess Cruises
Sounds like it was the perfect cruise! What an awesome review and it makes me more excited to be leaving on Saturday on the Enchanted. I have 2 reservations for The Catch and am excited to be back there and to try out O'malley's pub. I'm a sucker for an Irish Pub and spend quite a bit of time at one here in town. -
Post Cruise, Miami, Marriott property, July
Host CJSKIDS replied to cxr133's topic in Florida Departures
I only mentioned that the Doubletree was a Hilton property as the OP was looking for Marriot properties only. You are right, that is Casablanca on the Bay. They have a great happy hour. -
Can I see my muster station well in advance?
Host CJSKIDS replied to BamaVol's topic in Princess Cruises
I've had my muster station be in the art gallery which was difficult for anyone to needed to sit while waiting for it to start. That clearly was pre covid. -
4/13/24: Princess Rolls Out Fleetwide Dining Revolution
Host CJSKIDS replied to FLAlaska's topic in Princess Cruises
Here is the latest update with some dates.... FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., (April 13, 2024) – Princess Cruises today announced it is making a significant enhancement to the main dining options found across its fleet, designed to give guests the ultimate in flexibility and choice when it comes to their dining experience by offering three table service options – Traditional, Reservable, or Walk-in Anytime - coupled with the brand’s industry exclusive OceanNow location-based “anywhere” service. With a dedication to personal preference and individualized service, Princess will designate separate dining rooms aboard every ship in the fleet* to the three table service options – one dedicated to traditional dining offering an early and a late seating every evening; one offering reservable dining times; and a third with open seating to support walk-ins anytime. The three table service options integrate with the line’s unparalleled OceanNow, which provides guests the convenience of ordering anything, anytime, and receiving it anywhere onboard, making Princess uniquely positioned to accommodate all guest dining preferences. Making all dining formats available fleetwide follows the resounding success of this new approach already implemented aboard the new Sun Princess. With the stunning introduction of the new next level Love Boat came the debut of three-story dining room with one floor dedicated to traditional dining, another serving guests with a flexible reservation and a third for anytime walk-ins. “Our guests have been delighted with the dining flexibility aboard Sun Princess and we’re pleased to extend the concept to all the other ships in our fleet,” said Sami Kohen, Princess Cruises vice president of food and beverage. “Now whether guests prefer an early seating every evening, or change things up every night, or even change their mind, these flexible dining options ensure that their dining preference is effortlessly accommodated.” Starting on April 15, 2024, the new approach will launch on Princess voyages departing September 14, 2024 and beyond. To support these changes and the transition to the new system, main dining reservations that already have been made for voyages sailing September 14 and beyond for any ship except Sun Princess will be cancelled. Main dining reservations for guests sailing through September 13 will not be affected. Starting June 17, booked guests will be able to use the app ahead of their voyage to opt for traditional seating in a dedicated dining room with the same waiter, same table and same time each night, or flexible dining, allowing them to enjoy dinner at any available time and table size of their choosing in either the Reservable or Open Seating dining rooms. This change does not affect guests booked in specialty dining restaurants or suite or reserve collection accommodations, who enjoy a dedicated dining room on Princess ships, where no reservations are required. -
Did you have any excursions booked that perhaps got canceled?
