Agree with this, or alittle earlier....were usually in line by 10. It just works out that way due to our commute and parking nearby.

As someone well traveled on Ruby, I am very happy to hear about work being done. So much so, I just now booked Panama canal again. This time on Ruby. Anxious to hear how it turns out....

Were on Enchanted in 3 weeks....will certainly be following along! Thanks for taking the time to post!

Yep we know where Redding is! lol Thanks for the info! I have tried asking about M&G or gettogether on our Rollcall, but there doesn't seem to be any interest..... so will be on the lookout for you 😊 But, were always Masked onboard outside our cabin. So be on the lookout for Gray masks!😷😁

Thats true. Also when the casino is Open, the cashier can change bills for you. As long as you don't ask for too many small bills.

Maybe it depends when was your last cruise? We just did AK cruise earlier this month, and I got (EARNED) my best ever Come back & Play offer. Today, I got an email for something I've never heard of.... Diamond Cruise. It seems to be identical to my CBS from the ship. So I checked the dates? Its Another one, in addition to the one I received after my cruise. Wow, its like the pendulum has swung back to really great comps. These 2 latest are book by mid-Nov. Pleasantly surprised. Hope you get some new ones coming in very soon.

We have BofA, and are Not charged an ATM fee. I think it depends on the type of acct you have. Onboard, the ship ATM machine in casino usually dispenses US $50's. Not really the denom most folks are looking for. I'm usually pretty bad about getting currency ahead of time. Usually I end up using ATM at major airport we fly into, and get local currency there. I've also used EU banks that have ATMs outside their branch, and been able to get $$ there as well.

We got off Royal on Saturday, testing Pos and some others on our Rollcall, ditto. Just now finishing Paxlovid, its helped. Good luck 😷

Thats all I've been getting lately is Server Prob. My Cvp out this week, and I had to talk to the dreaded call center, you know where. Half way thru the call he began saying, hello? Hello? I could hear him but he couldn't hear me. Needless to say the issue I called about Wasn't corrected. So I will wait til cvp returns. The App and the call center isn't worth the frustration!

Or join your Roll Call. We did and thats All they talk about.

I had to check who OP was. My first thought.... Frasier & Niles Cheers

We didn't like the BSL location! We were placed next to where the waiters hung out, and people keep walking thru BSL on their way to somewhere else. Like a shortcut thru it. Felt like we were eating at the Mall. The food was ok, but we had No ambiance, and noisey. Enjoyed Sabatinis much more.

I hear ya. But we bring One nice outfit, and wear twice. Light packers.

I had to have my battery changed mid trip. Went to Guest service. After standing like an Invisible person in the Elite/Suite end of counter? I got in the regular line (Blue lane I'm sure) and they replaced the batt. Took it in the back and came back out after a couple mins.

Thats what I was afraid of! They got rid of ordering on the TV. If it ain't broke, Why fix it? 🙈 geez

Thanks for all your help with our questions. I booked Hotel Smeraldo cuz of your rec. We don't have a way to the airport after our stay. Guess I have the same question, what would be the best way for us to return from hotelS to FCO on Nov. 3 ? If we book Private transfer, could that be done thru the hotel? Do they have shuttle?

We have AK cruise starting this wknd, and I Still Don't understand if we will be charged if we use the TV to order Room service? I don't use the phone to order, and rarely use the App. If I want delivery to the room, the TV seems easier, and more variety than ordering on the app, IMO. (We have Plus pkg thru casino, so I don't know if thats considered New or Old Plus)

Thats the same thing I was thinking... I wouldn't pay for Chefs Table Lumiere. For me..... the cost and courses would be lost, judging by the reviews I've read. I haven't done one, so I can't really comment on attending one. Yet those of us who HAVE done the $150 Tour Behind the Ships Tour, and say its Worth it... at least we have our memories, if they don't bring them back.

I just got one as well. Can't talk to the Tables? But the casino Can be overcrowded. However, a Prestige cruise has fewer casino invited guests, than a Vip cruise. I adjust my playing Times, to Not be there during the busiest times.

I've done many of the Free ones (especially on NCL) but this one is soooo much more. Somebody said they didn't like the swag? Even without it, having the small intimate tour, was worth it to us. One ended in the Captains small conference room with a sitdown visit & refreshments. If you haven't done it? Then you don't know how much better this tour is. I Do hope they bring them back.

The Behind the Scenes ship tours were great. I say were, because I've yet to hear of a ship doing them again? Hope they can someday. Totally worth it IMO. It was a small group of guests, like 10 and cost approx $150 pp but, you get quite a bit of swag to help recover from the price. You learn so much more than the quickie walk thru the galley after the silly Food competition towards the end of your cruise.

Yes it did suck, and I felt deceived. I did Not get a Come back & Play offer after first, Or second short cruise, b2b, Nothing. So basically the First and Second leg points Didn't count. Didn't matter how many points you made, it Didn't get you Any CB&P offer! Yes, I still got plenty of offers, but lately I've only gotten Princ Plus perks included on Come back & play offers. Those are the only ones I've been booking. Yeah, it used to be the other way around.... I got better offers After cruises. But not anymore... I seem to get Plus included with CB&P offer after 7+ day cruises Only.

Yes there continues to be gray areas. Afternoon tea is an Elite perk, yet you must call Room service to set up date/time. Will there be a charge for that? Forpetesake.🙄

And I believe you posted you received Bounceback offers on cruise that was 7 days+ They were wondering about getting Bounceback voucher for LESS than 7 days cruises. In our experience Princess has NOT given Come back & play offers for short cruises. If you got bounceback on Short cruise? Kindly post details, length, etc.

Just order Americano. It beats the regular brew in the buffet.....which tastes watered down to me. I always get the americano at the IC.
