  1. On IOS, it’s 1.0.1. But it isn’t any better. This new app seems solely designed for onboard use. There’s just so much missing.
  2. Even with a couple specialty coffees per day and lots of bottled water, I couldn’t break even on 1 daily alcoholic beverage. I think your math is probably correct.
  3. I’m not sure if they’ve moved Planks and Steamers. When we sailed CB in March 2023, they were located at the back of the buffet. But not functioning at the time. I’ve heard people refer to “pop up venues”.
  4. And how do I get there? On my iPhone. Can someone guide me from “home”? I understand it’s too soon to see luggage tags, but I’d like to know where they’ve hidden the travel summary. Not to mention OBC.
  5. Does anyone know if they have robes available in children’s sizes?
  6. I wear a size medium men’s t-shirt. I could have wrapped the bathrobe around myself at least one and a half times. Mrs BV is small to extra small petite and could have wrapped hers around herself twice.
  7. I must have been looking at the crystal ball upside down.
  8. I can make a prediction: Bama by a touchdown. Now you don’t have to watch.
  9. For sure in the International Cafe. Which is the only place I’ve ordered coffee.
  10. BTW, they can make mistakes. I had a plate of pasta placed in front of me covered in parmesan despite the headwaiter preparing it without dairy. Fortunately I knew better and so did the headwaiter. She straightened things out when she saw what had happened.
  11. You should be able to do this. I order off the regular menu the night before and they prepare my food to my specifications. They have a kitchen dedicated to special diets but the food is only a variation of the regular menu.
  12. Fo me, it’s not a special menu. It’s dinner for the following night, the regular menu. I select what I want and the headwaiter has it prepared within my dietary restrictions (no dairy). When we sit down the following night, I tell my server I have pre ordered and the name of my headwaiter. After a night or two, they remember. I ask at the buffet, and someone from the kitchen wearing a tall hat tours me through the line and tells me what I can or cannot eat.
  13. Loyalty programs have been watered down for years. The only time a new tier is added, benefits at lower levels are reduced. There is no advantage to Princess adding another level and increasing benefits. Don’t hold your breath. Ships are sailing full.
  14. Yes. I linked to another cabin and made MDR reservations for all 6 of us.
  15. How did your body react to the cleanser? If you order a double, is it called the purger?
  16. Before you do that, have you sought help via chat? That’s how I fixed the wrong birthday that my TA entered for my upcoming cruise.
  17. Stranger things have happened, but I can’t imagine the software recognizing you used your credit card for a canceled cruise and refusing to take it again because of that. Unless there’s a “fool me once” line in the code somewhere. i am not surprised that the “help line” hung upon you when they couldn’t fix the problem.
  18. Go to YouTube and look for videos of rock concerts. Any close-up of the performers should reveal the ear plugs they wear to protect their ears from the sounds that they are making. Many have suffered serious hearing loss over the years. If it’s good enough for Pete Townsend, you shouldn’t worry about what others see and think.
  19. That’s what I saw on CB in March - multiple copies of several games but few books. Just to add to the chatter, I have used the kindle app on my iPad for over 10 years. I still buy a book or two in paperback, but don’t lug them around with me when traveling. if you spotted me in the waiting room at Pep Boys this morning looking at my phone, I was not playing games or surfing, I was reading Kurt V’s Breakfast of Champions for the umpteenth time.
  20. Wow. I’m guessing you’re not in an inside cabin. I wouldn’t turn down free Plus even if I wasn’t a drinker.
  21. If passenger one buys a package, passenger two must as well. Passengers three and four are not required to buy a package.
  22. To be clear, no passenger needs to have a beverage package (a significant feature of a Plus fare, but as stated above, only one component). Hopefully your TA asked questions about your cruising style which led them to book this fare for you. I assume passengers one and two enjoy one or more adult beverages a day. Otherwise, a standard fare with select additions might be more economical.
  23. We mistook those for grill marks. But, now that you mention it …
