We are also on the TA. I think someone posted there on what is planned. It starts Oct 31 so it’s just over two weeks in duration. We were on Silhouette in March and she looked good to me then!

She’s going in for some updates in a month or so, just prior to the TA.

Your excitement is contagious. Have been enjoying and reading along. Can’t wait for more !

Thanks for this update. To clarify - Book Later requires a NRD, but when you say cannot be adjusted without fees - what do you mean? I thought Book Later meant I was not required to select a ship or itinerary until "Later".

I'm not sure about "theme" days but in the OVC there are definitely "theme stations", eg Asian, Mexican, etc. I have had fish and chips numerous times from the buffet. Mostly batter, little fish. I have also seen but not sampled Shepherds Pie.

Its been awhile since we sailed Princess. We have the premier package but are expecting a large OBC from our TA which will be refundable Any Canadian experience to share - any problem depositing this cheque to my bank account (I do have a US $$ account). I wish they would simply credit the card on file.

Just to reassure you… it’s not unique. I have the same problem.

Seems very high. We are cruising February 2025. Flying from YOW to FLL direct (which hasn't always been an option for us) for $446 return. Booked directly with AC.

Same same.

Also to note, we found out the hard way that the large busses are not permitted to stop or enter the parking lots along the north shore. So… lots of driving by the north shore.

So confusing. I have a large OBC coming from my TA - over $1000. I already have premium and a couple shore excursions paid. Not sure what I would spend the OBC on - are people now saying that it will be non-refundable? So I would need to do the casino thing which I have never done as I've never had to worry about refundable OBC coming back to me.

Hi - we are currently booked in C753 on Ruby Princess to Hawaii. C752 has become available (port side vs. starboard). Wondering if I should switch.

I keep checking via the app and the web version to book my second SD following my "chat" earlier this week where she told me it would be fixed within 24 hours. Still trying to charge me. But, today it is showing the charge for Sabitinis at $45.00 pp. Earlier this week it was $35.00. Has anyone else seen this "error".

Not in my case. It wants to charge me now.

I was able to book the Crown Grill with no charge. Tried to book Sabatinis and it charged me. I cancelled. Tried to do a chat. That was not very helpful. I will try to call

Al Bacio will be open. Some are reporting sandwiches available there on some ships.

Thank you. We’re on the Ruby so not a lot of SDs to sample and I think we’ll be ok with 15 alcoholic drinks per day. As long as our water and coffees are outside the package.

I’ve read the 15 pages and the FAQs but am still confused. I have the Premier package already for a 15 day Hawaiian cruise next year. I’ve booked my 2 SDs and my anytime dining. We are mostly wine drinkers so wanted the increased selection of wine. so I believe we can upgrade for $10 pp/pd. And this will give us unlimited SD, reserved theatre seats every night but not a lot else of interest to us. Is that about right?

Aloha. Good info here. Looking for recommendations for cruise passengers (i.e. not hotel guests) for chair and umbrella rental please? I think last time several years ago we just walked through one of the hotels to the beach and found a kiosk/vendor. Is this still an option any any particular section of beach better? Thank you.

Please post some of the other lists as you visit the venues so we can assess the requirement to raise our voices in dismay. Haha. Enjoy your trip.

Update as of Sat July 20. was able to book a private table for 2 for every night Ruby Princess Oct 2025 in Botticelli. Then was able to cancel one night and book Crown Grill. We have Premium package. Credit card was requested but charge was $0.

OK still no luck for me. Only option via both avenues is Michelango 5;00 and 7:20 p.m. Botticelli and DaVinci says no time slots available.

I am on the Ruby in 2025. Only showing the Michelango at 5 and 720 pm. what is the web app?

I had to chuckle at the subject line on this morning's e-mail ad from Celebrity. "We'll hold a lounge chair for you". I thought - yeah just not on your balcony, unless you ask, maybe, we'll let you know.

Fabulous photos, bringing back great memories.
