I just booked a casino offer and of course not eligible for $1 deposit! That would be amazing wouldn't it? I did have to pay the $200 pp deposit that will be refunded as onboard spending once we board.

I thought I also had to pay the $200 deposit?

I had read somewhere on the Princess board about the $1 deposit sale but haven't seen anything else about this. Anyone know whether it could be used on a casino offer for free or reduced stateroom?

Ok! I should probably look at a map to name the dining room but...when I entered the Discovery upon boarding day, I walked to the right on that deck and the dining room said Club Class by one door where a hostess was standing. (I wasn't club class that cruise). I asked if I could have lunch there and she said yes! I was seated at a large table and after 15 minutes of no one else joining me, I asked to order! Had a delicious salmon ,something else, and the grand marnier souffle for dessert! Eventually a very pleasant club class couple joined me. That was April 22,2022 sailing.

I dined with a couple on my Discovery cruise a few months ago, who had an aft cabin. After getting soot on their white slacks, they wiped the rail and chairs with a white towel. They then took the towel to customer service to complain and (as they told our table)received $200 each in OBC!!!! I never would have thought of that!

I took mosquito repellent but didn't need it when on the connoisseur trip at the end of August 3 years ago. The only time that I saw mosquitos was when we were around a dog pen and I walked away! I think that I did wear one of those repellent bracelets. It was a dry week and no rain until we returned to Seattle.

Sign in to the princess website and click on Captains Circle. Click on future cruise credits and it will show casino offers and when the deadline to book is. It also shows if you have applied it to a current booking.

I cruised solo last month on a casino offer and called to ask if i could add a friend to my cabin and what the cost would be. I was told that my category wasn't available even though the cruise wasn't sold out. I only asked my PVP not the casino agent. After i told my friend,even though I HAD asked him earlier if he wanted to go with me,he said he was just worried that I may find a new boyfriend on the cruise! Ha, ha! If I have that situation again, I will ask both the casino department and the PVP. From what I've been witnessing on cruise critic boards,answers aren't always consistent! It doesn't hurt to ask.

We did laundry once at one of the lodges. We went to the laundry room as soon as we got our bags in our room. The machines took quarters and there were only 2 in the building as i recall(2019). We brought enough detergent from home to do 2 loads. If the machines are busy,check in the adjacent building laundry room! Not all of the buses or buildings are on the same schedule!

We went on the Princess connoisseur (i think it was called) land and sea tour in 2019. Food is more expensive in Alaska so we didn't consider any other option than the meal plan that was included. I think it was breakfast and dinner. We had a voucher for each meal and could order anything on the menu. The restaurant food was excellent and I think I chose crab almost every time I could! I think that for us, there were a couple of mornings that our bus was leaving earlier than the restaurants were serving but we were able to use the vouchers for the coffee stand where there was fruit,yogurt,muffins,cold cereal and milk,juice. Our guide on the bus came around and asked what time we would like our dinner reservation and called it in for us.

I just returned from a 5-day Cabo cruise on the Discovery Princess. I enjoyed the cruise, however my cabin had a bad odor which was noticeable to me as soon as I walked in and whenever I didn't have the balcony door open! I asked my room steward to spray with some air freshener but it still didn't smell good. I guess it may have been lingering cigarette smoke. Next cruise i will bring something, but what? Thanks for suggestions.
