  1. i agree. I think it is a subject that should not be discussed on the internet.
  2. Still better than what we get on the other cruise lines we sail on.
  3. I'll know for sure on February 20. In the meantime I could try a trial membership. https://www.xponential.plus/ Maybe they would honor that while on board.
  4. I have the new Plus Package on an upcoming cruise. At the bottom of the Onboard Services page on my Personalizer it lists Fitness Classes (2 classes) at $39.35.
  5. We will be on Discovery Princess from February 16 to March 18 - B2B2B2B2B. Looking forward to YogaSix and StretchLab. Looks like TRX won't be offered.
  6. There is required and suggested information. Picking an arrival group is under suggested. I'll arrive when I arrive.
  7. This is the definition I was referring to "the enjoyment of what appears to be painful or tiresome."
  8. Reading a thread such as this is an exercise in masochism.
  9. From my experience, entertainment is another that NCL does better than Princess though that may change as NCL is cutting back on production shows.
  10. No. Recently finished sailing on a 15 day Panama Canal cruise on the NCL Joy.. Had dinner once early in the cruise in the Manhattan dining room (main). Noticed quite a few people wearing shorts. Most of our dinners were in the smaller Savoy and Taste dining rooms. Don't recall seeing shorts, but might have been. What did stand out was not ever having to wait very long to be seated and the excellent service. We always asked for table for two by a window. If they couldn't seat us in a table for two, it would be a table for four with the second setting cleared, Relatively few bench seating and never asked if we would like to share. If window seating wasn't available, an effort was made for next best. We have done a lot of cruises on both Princess and NCL. In my opinion the dining experience is one area where NCL excels compared to Princess. Of course, Princess excels in quite a few other areas.
  11. Here us a dress code I would like to see Princess adopt. https://lifewellcruised.com/what-to-wear-on-a-norwegian-cruise/
  12. Here is one way. https://www.visitbarbados.org/your-stay/personalised-services/accessibility-services?pageindex=1
  13. I booked one of the last two available cabins today. I'm more concerned about teem than I am theme. teem be full of or swarming with.
  14. Are you sure they weren't staring at you for some other reason?
  15. Maybe this. I can't believe I spent over 5 minutes just to hear she "has heard a rumor."
  16. Yes. Last August, on the night before departure from the Enchanted Princess, my wife tested positive for Covid. We were told to isolate in our cabin and then spent 5 days isolating at a hotel near Heathrow Airport at Princess expense. Since we couldn't fly to the US for 10 days, we spent another 5 days at hotels near London at our expense. We submitted a trip delay claim for those hotels to AON, which was recently paid. We also submitted a meal allowance claim to Princess for 10 days. After not having a response to several e-mails sent to Princess Customer Service, I asked my CVP to look into it. Yesterday, I got a call from Princess that I would be getting a check for the entire amount of my meal allowance claim. Also got OBC and a specialty dinner for our troubles. That's my CVP advantage story.
  17. Been doing that for quite a while in the comfort of my cabin by playing a few hands of blackjack on the TV. However, I noticed the details of my next cruise say "Credit must be used on the single voyage that it was awarded in connection with, is not redeemable for cash, cannot be used in the casino, is not applicable during the land portion of cruisetours, and expires at the end of that voyage." I don't know if that is new or it has always had that caveat in the fine print.
  18. Good luck. I've been sending generic e-mail to customerrelations@princesscruises.com regarding my important issue once or twice a month since last August with no response. Recently, my CVP has been looking into it for me. Hopefully, she will fair better than I have.
  19. Our solution has been to Princess’s benefit. Older ships we book mini suites, newer we book deluxe balconies (obstructed).
  20. We have sailed Princess 35 times since 2003. We think the experience is better now. We are finishing a 15 day Panama Canal cruise on the NCL Joy. NCL recently raised the gratuity 25% while reducing crew salary and cutting evening turndown. NCL just announced their production shows are too expensive, so they are cutting them. I paid $250 for unlimited internet that doesn’t include streaming. While we have had a great time, we are looking forward to next months cruise on the Discovery Princess where unlimited internet will be included in our plus package and order room service from our app at no charge.
  21. Then there wasn’t much point in you responding to this thread. "For many of our guests, it has become more and more important to maintain the type of connectivity at sea that they've become accustomed to at home, and of course to share the unforgettable experiences of their cruise with friends and family," said Josh Weinstein, CEO of Carnival Corporation. "We are in the business of delivering happiness, and Starlink makes it as easy as possible for our guests to share all their great moments and memories, giving them even more joy out of their cruise vacation."
  22. I have a friend who is a bit self conscious about his baldness.
  23. I wouldn’t enjoy it either. In fact, after 35 Princess cruises I don’t think I have ever seen it.
  24. Hopefully is the key word. I’m not going anywhere, I just don’t trust press releases. I am currently on a 15 day Panama Canal cruise on the NCL Joy. Internet has rarely exceeded 2 Mbps. My plan that does not include streaming cost $229. I believed if I had wanted streaming, it would have been $379.
  25. I haven’t been able to use a VPN or a travel router in the last several attempts. In fact, internet is so slow, it probably wouldn’t work very well if it did work.
