  1. Wonder if ticketed and paid if airline would permit you to change to an earlier/later flight? Delta allows me to change flights I've booked directly with them for no charge.
  2. Enchanted has the 360 experience.
  3. You can always get cash up to $1000 a day in casino and they will charge it to your room. No fees. We generally only use cash when tipping on the ship. Most places in Caribbean accept credit cards.
  4. I have six cruises booked (2 in 2026) and all show up in the app. No rhyme or reason for why others are having problems. Knock on wood, but I've had no problems with the app. My cruise in July has my dining options as I originally input on the app. I have not yet tried to input on my cruises in 2025. Hope I didn't jynx myself.
  5. A prix fixe (a French term meaning “fixed price”) is a menu that offers a full meal at a set rate. Typically, that means diners get three courses consisting of an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. Diners choose from multiple options for each of the three courses, but the price remains the same no matter the selection. On Princess ships diners choose from multiple options for each of the three courses, but the price remains the same no matter the selection.
  6. Some info for you on plus package (60 per day) If you both get the package, then you each get an internet access. If one gets the package, then both must get the package. Includes crew appreciation amounts for each package - I think now it is 16 a day per person. Includes two casual dining venues - value at 15 a person for a total of 60 for both of you. Includes all alcoholic drinks up to 15 each which includes the tip. . Includes two premium deserts per day Includes fitness package Includes unlimited water, soda, coffee and specialty coffees Free medallion shipping per package (10 per medallion/ 20 for two. I'm sure I'm missing things. If you plan on having 3 or more alcoholic drinks a day this may be best for you as alcoholic drinks are generally $12 plus 18% tips each. Specialty coffees are about $5.00 each plus 18% tips. Botttled Water and soda generally $3.00 each plus 18%. We generally get the plus package as we then don't fret over the cost of each item. You may want to wait until you board ship to buy the package. You have the day of embarkation and the next day to purchase and if you have any on-board credit you can use that to purchase. .
  7. If you make reservation now for specialty dining and have premier package, they should give you a credit for you when board. You may be able to wait to make reservations but if you really wanted a specific day and time I would make the reservations now. I'd contact my travel agent to see if your OBC can be used prior to boarding on an upgrade to premier. I've used my OBC to pay for excursions but I'm not sure you can use it prior to boarding to upgrade your package.
  8. Actually, you can book 4. We're booked on Regal for this coming January with 4 people. There is a cot made available. Plenty of closet space and huge drawers on one wall. The cost of the 3rd and 4th passengers is more than one half less than first two (more like 2/3 less). This is OP sister and husband and perhaps they wouldn't mind having the two separate areas available. Just a suggestion. Our suite is an S3 D122 and D121 is also same setup. There is a U tube video of this space that OP may want to review. Way cheaper than 2 reserve class minis.
  9. Our family is on Regal this next January and was able to book an S5 suite SD122. It is all the way in the front of the ship. There are four of us and they bring in a cot for the fourth person. It is not a family suite. Third and fourth person are much lower priced than first and second (less than one half of first two fares. We booked through Costco. The closets are way bigger and have a lot of storage. U tube has a video of these types of cabins.
  10. Depending on suite, 2 separate rooms. Two bathrooms (one has shower and tub. If they get along OK it would be well worth the inconvenience. Each person would get 2 cruise credits. Concierge service. Embarkation meal. Mini bar setup. Reserve class dining. Priority embarkation and disembarkation. I would do this in a flash if traveling with family. Also, a great deal for 4 friends to sail together. If they needed a place to shower, they could always go to the spa area or exercise area on most ships.
  11. Why not get a full suite? You'd get all the benefits and only pay a partial cost for the 3rd and 4th passengers.
  12. Enchanted has a new specialty dining restaurant called The Catch by Rudy. Excellent1. Also the Good Spirts bar has excellent cocktails. I was on her for 30 days this past February and March. Love this ship. Adults only pool on Deck 17 - great place to lounge and though I love kids, I prefer them not to be with them all the time.
  13. You may want to check and see if the rooms you are bidding on can accommodate 4 people. We did it once and the 4th person had to sleep on a cot. Check the deck plans and that (hopefully) will show the max in a room. Have a wonderful cruise.
  14. No problems with the shower or lighting. It's not the Ritz but for the amount of time we actually spent in the room it did the job. What did the front desk have to say about it? You may want to e-mail the Holiday Inn and ask for compensation. As far as walking to the port - Uber is only $5. I don't do very well walking any distance and trying to pull my own luggage would be fruitless. Have a wonderful cruise - loving your Live.
  15. We stayed there in February and had no problem with the hotel. The morning breakfast was great. It was about 1/3 the price of other hotels so I guess you get what you pay for. We were in the room for less than 15 hours. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Staff was cordial. Room was clean. Uber to port was $5.
  16. Not everything can be in writing as to what is and what is not allowed. I would guess there are many things which are not permitted, and they are not in writing and a lot of things which are permitted which also are not in writing. It's the cruise lines ship and I hardly think this is a third world problem. If they ask you to take it down, then do it. The world will not end one way or the other.
  17. I have sailed on 20 + Princess cruises. When we first started, we would dress up (no tux). He wore a suit and tie on formal nights and I wore sparkly pants and fancy blouse. Now it's unlikely to see a whole lot of people wearing tuxes and fancy dresses. It sure makes packing a whole lot easier. Now, on formal nights my husband wears nice pants with a collared shirt and tie. I wear black dress pants and a nice blouse. If you want to dress fancy you will not be alone. I would say probably less than 15% go fancy. I have seen a few times where people wearing shorts have been turned away from main dining room. I was on Enchanted the entire month of February this year and people generally wear nice casual. Now, I'll be getting a lot of hate messages. Please be nice.
  18. From the above postings it appears that most non-US cruisers have had their reservations cancelled. I have 5 upcoming cruises and none of the reservations been cancelled. Not sure if this has anything to do with why some have been cancelled and others not.
  19. I have a guaranteed interior cabin (IC) for a July cruise and just received a notice of my cabin which is indicated handicapped accessible. I never requested it and would think there are many interior cabins available. Only thing is I want it on Lido deck and there are no interior non-handicapped accessible rooms available on this floor for this sailing. .
  20. I've noticed on past cruises the formal nights were generally sea days.
  21. Isn't the muster station listed on the back of our stateroom door?
