  1. We were quite impressed with it on Millie!
  2. Did Alaska on Milie last August. Love that ship and crew, Say Hi! to Umesa in Luminae!
  3. I sailed in a Celbrity Suite on Millie last August. We thoroughly loved the priority embarkation, priority tendering, meals in luminae or blu, the concierge lounge, the butler, reserved seating for shows. I recently sailed on Princess in a higher end suite and there is virtually no recognition of being a suite guest on Princess. The Celebrity suite experience was far better.
  4. There are so many spelling and grammatical errors everywhere, it's hard to single out Princess. If you see any here, it's because I don't have my glasses on!
  5. If I told you what I spent 40 years of my life doing, you might be surprised. I am going to resist the temptation to respond. Good day.
  6. Well, it's their ship. The only debate might be which island you fly home from.
  7. Unfortunately, that's is the entitled, self-aggrandizing, self validating world we live in.
  8. I think B10/2 might have some view issues due to the overhang from the bridgewing.
  9. Well,we have C101 in ten days. There is a tour of C101 on youtube.
  10. I wouldn't be surprised if part of the shop rental contract provides Princess with a percentge of revenue from the shops. Processing all sales through the ship ensures that all revenues are taken into account and there are no side deals going on. That also gives Princess use of the cash from credit card settlements for a few weeks prior to having to settle with Effy and the other shop lessees.
  11. We are booked in an S5 suite on Regal Princess in a few weeks from Galveston. I believe there is a separate part of the MDR for dinner for suite guests. Do I need to book a reservation time for that or is it just walk in? We are green lane now, but does this suite qualify for the pre-boarding hospitality area? This is our first Princess experience and I'm interest to see this suite comparison to other lines we have sailed.
  12. There is only upside for Princess. Even if sold out, they are protected in the event there is a cancellation. If a suite cancels, that creates an upward domino effect for four or five other cabins at $100 or so a pop and worst case they end up with a vacant indside cabin on the lower decks.
  13. Probably said before, and I can speak to the $238, as a hotel accountant - the $238 "Refer to Corporate Finance" is zeroing out your onboard account and transferring the remaining credit balance to the guest refund processing system. That's how our hotel accounting systems work. The Wi-Fi charges - don't know - I would question those.
  14. If they get too many winnners, they turn it off. That's a "cooling off" period I guess.
  15. Oh boy! I'm going to open that door every chance I get!
  16. So, what is Princess Prizes that is part of the Premium Plus package?
  17. We went on a Tahiti to Hawaii 12-day on another line in 2022 We enjoyed it immensely. Bora Bora is more beautiful in person than any pictures you've seen. The people are wonderful. I highly recommend that itinerary.
  18. Thank you, guess we'll just get Room Service each morning.
  19. We are booked in a Penthouse Suite on Regal Princess and I can't determine if there are coffee makers in the suites. Anyone know? Thanks!
  20. On my last cruise, (non-SS) a passenger had a "service dog". Service dog was like a toy poodle mix. No value judgements, but it seemed terribly out of place and just in the way on tendering, disembarkation (no pun intended) and in other crowded areas.
  21. We sailed on Millie last August, as well in a Celebrity Suite and we echo your comments. Umesh (Umesa?) is indeed a gem and made the Luminae experience wonderful. As I remember, we were in 6128 - I may be wrong, it was on deck six, starboard, forward half of the bump out. We enjoyed the entire staff on Millie and the Hotel Director, Andrea, I think, seemed to be everywhere all the time. We would indeed sail again on Millie in a heartbeat.
  22. You should be able to find the flights on the Celebrity itinerary and then on the airline sites.
  23. Invictas are made to be big and gawdy, not quality, I'd save up and spend $350 for a good Citizen or Seiko that will last.
  24. For a Vancouver Alaska departure in August, no one checked or asked us. We had an 11:30 am time and went about 10:30am and pretty much got through and on the boat.
