An update for anyone with the same question. I spoke to AARP. Not possible for Canadians to purchase these (actually what is required is you must sign up for AARP rewards). It would not accept my phone number. The agent I chatted with said it had something to do with Canadian on-line privacy laws...

Before I initiate a call/discussion with AARP - any Canadians have any positive experience with this? We are Canadian. We are members of AARP, pay our membership dues annually in USD with our USD credit card, book our cruises with a US TA, in USD. According to the FAQs on the AARP website only US members are eligible for the AARP rewards program. Now, there may be a work around, or I can call to be added, etc. but before I do call - any experience on this from my Canadian friends would be appreciated.

Glad to have another GenX cruise to enjoy. We have only been to Key West once, many many years ago, but have a stop planned there on the Summit in February. I need to hear more about the Kenny Chesney bar so will be watching intently. Enjoy your cruises, as if you need any assistance in that regard !

Happy Birthday! I got the same today and thought it was new. Wish it could be applied to the cruise they are excited to welcome me on ! Haha.

We often stay in an AitBnb pre cruise but I personally wouldn’t bother for just one night. Cleaning and other fees will make it more costly than a hotel. Also depends how many people you are talking about. We like to do 3-4 nights of Florida lifestyle to get us in the cruise spirit.

Hmmmm. Do we need to rise up on loungers as we did on cookies, vaping, Decoy wine , etc etc. all decisions they reversed when we ‘protested’ en masse.

The beverage package cost is on a per night basis, so starts the day you embark. There is no charge applied on disembarkation day, but I’m not sure if it can be used that morning.

We have the Premier package. Do we have to pay the $14.99 activation fee prior to usage?

Can’t wait to follow along. The Queen looks great! Enjoy yourselves.

We have a USD visa from RBC. It is treated as a regular US credit card on board, and anywhere else for that matter.

Yes thanks. I am on it.

Ours is February. I did get the email and the upgrade.

Thanks for the report. We also love the Silly. We were on in February, and will be bringing her back across the ocean in November - our first TA.

Have your plans changed Jim or did you mean to say Silhouette back to Florida ?

Don’t want to hijack the OP but we are very interested in beach options. What’s close by and are there rental facilities? (Chairs etc )

I do love the Sunset Bar - but I don't like drinking wine out of plastic glasses so avoid it for my "wine needs". lol

We haven’t sailed Princess in a few years. We have the Premier package. Am I correct in thinking that includes automatic mailing of our medallions to us pre cruise, and some kind of holder ?

My mistake. Seems there is no Craft Social on Edge The Club also had some higher end options.

We have found Craft Social has a wide variety of wines and some not found elsewhere on board.

Following along. Enjoy! We love Silhouette and will bring her back to Fll in the fall on our first TA.

Enjoying all the recommendations but I too am still looking for Chardonnay recommendations!

Keep checking your bookings. Mine didn't have any discount until today - 35% off. Booked with OBC and will continue to hope/watch for the 50% off sale sometime. I don't think about what I'm saving, but rather with the sale the upgrade cost for us is just under $10 pp/pd all in. Well worth it to us.

I'll put you in the "this is just plain wrong" category. 🫢

You know I love your live reviews when I wake up in the morning and my first thought is "did Mr. and Mrs Norway make it to FLL last night". HaHa Love to read your reviews. Rest up today.

If AC changed it my experience is that they will allow you to select something that better suits your needs.
