They may not have worked out the "pay to order" for standard fare yet. Plus and Premium fare packages get them shipped for free (US and Canada). Suites have to pay.

I'm thinking it's something like the "food truck" area on Virgin Voyages...

We enjoyed it and feel that we got great value for our money. We really loved getting the photos (no, we are not first time cruisers, but we have several digital frames, and sometimes it's nice to throw a cruise thumb drive in and watch). We both enjoy the finer wines and ports, so that absolutely helps out; Princess Prizes paid for itself in OBC (I won a total of $750 IIRC, and DH won an additional $500, not to mention the casino and I had a lovely time :D). We also enjoy our cocktails, so having the higher end liquors in those is helpful. We tried the desserts, they were nice; attended a couple of the yoga sessions... I think that the only thing that we DIDN'T do was use the medallion accessory because we already had ours. Have a great time and live your best life!

We get the value out of the package 😄

I'm waiting for the day that the machines are no longer free, and someone starts the thread about another benefit lost 😇🤭

They have production shows, fun corny games and game show throughout the day and evening, different things that the Cruise Director and staff will have happening, cooking and cocktail demos...you won't lack for things to do for entertainment 🙂

@c-boy enjoyed bagels with lox and cream cheese. They were impressive looking. And let's not pass over the mimosas and lattes!

Can't wait Til November!

The Specialty French Toast is beyond amazing! ❤

They always call me Countess from the jump... I tell them "Jo" is fine, but...😄

We arrived before they had a table set up; before they eve started check in. You are correct, and yes, it was heavy-handed, but made up for later 😄

In San Pedro, we arrived early. Security at the scanners snatched ours before we even got through to the wine table. We had to claim it at the "naughty room" and get it from the F&B Director. Since we were on B2B, we only got tagged for 8 out of the 12 bottles, and he was salivating over a few of the 12 😁

Shhhh. Don't tell @c-boy . He'll be riding that FEMA math to the barn!😂

We gold certified TA's do know our stuff, but unfortunately can't give out our contact info. But Walter and others are right: call into Virgin and they can help you.

I love this site: some people aren't happy unless...well...they're not happy 🤭

We aren't familiar with it either...just like we aren't familiar with leaving the ship with unspent onboard credit... 😄

Thank you so much for this!!

$2 each? hmmmm

Then you will need a Royal Class ship 🙂

I think that you meant 15 specialty coffees...? which would be closer to $60-ish, but I could be wrong...

It is an Elite and suite perk. We get it back same or next day in a suite. 🙂

Yes, pray tell...

I love to do my bit of gaming, but don't relish the smell of smoke after, so I send my gowns to be done immediately after. They come back beautifully pressed and freshy fresh, as c-boy said. Never had an issue in 10+ Princess cruises.

Also depends on how many suites and elites are USING the laundry service 🙂

You can request it, but if someone gets there earlier some evenings, they might get "your" table, especially if it's a window table for example. It IS easier to get the same staff though, as Reserve isn't that large (same answer as on the other thread). 🙂
