Seems a third entree is excessive and should be an extra charge. JMHO

Agree. Does anyone have a current coffee menu? Seems the a la carte prices went up recently?

Yes, there have been formal nights on all of ours since the restart, Caribbean, TA, Europe, South Pacific, Hawaii. Seems you have been asking this question all across different cruise lines. Some dress up very formal and others dress up nicely. Others may just go to the buffet or SD if they don’t feel like dressing up. I wouldn’t worry about it, just do what you want to do and enjoy YOUR vacation. This has been covered many, many times on CC.

I checked the Regal, June-Sep British Isles and they all show non refundable deposits. So, it was programmed that way. IDK if it’s a change or a glitch. Hopefully, your TA/CVP can check for you.

Could be a glitch, not unheard of on the website. 😳 i’ve noticed, recently, they have been showing “You Choose” first instead of the lower non refundable Princess chooses for you. So, they have been making changes to this area. If you’re intent on a refundable deposit, which I would, I’d recheck it or have your TA check on it.

Yes. As long as there’s no problems with the scanner. Our last few trips went very smoothly with facial recognition.

Welcome to Cruise Critic! Thank you for your post, as it may be helpful to others. I don’t blame you, I would be just like you…checking and rechecking. Let us know how it all works out for you.

Thank you! It was advertised by Princess on April 3rd and that’s why there was so much buzz. I hope they keep the regular WMD on the Royal Class ships at $40. We’ll see. We really enjoyed it on the Enchanted at the end of March. Have fun!

That’s great. Is this the Silverado WMD? Not sure when Caymus WMD starts.

That’s ridiculous!

Do that many people really order 2 surf and turf? I know the lobster, yes, it’s a baby one.

Here we go! I wonder if they will charge for a 2nd lobster? They have been tiny in the MDR. Thanks for the heads up.

Wonderful experience! Enjoy.

And open up a can of worms.

True. I’ve only seen it crowded a couple of times, when a large group of people came all at once. Otherwise, quite easy to go to.

No problem. People may or may not mark activities on JourneyView. Doesn’t really mean they will show up. Just go right when it opens…doubt you’ll have any problem.

Are you referring to sea days, afternoon tea? How do you know it’s full? Are you looking at Journeyview activity on the App? If so, that is just a tool to show you may attend an event, not a reservation. They don’t book the regular tea time (free) in a MDR, you just go and get seated. Usually 3-4 PM. Or, is it high tea, where you pay extra? If so, just check when you get OB. You should be able to book it or put your name on a waitlist.

Not much activity here now, but here’s how our renewal went. Paid extra for expedited and priority mail for our passports. Used same envelope and wrote 1 check for both passports. 1. Mailed priority mail, expedited Passport renewals on Apr 5, 2023. 2. Received by Phila. Passport processing office Apr 11, 2023. 3. Approved and shipped May 11, 2023. 4. Due to receive both May 13, 2023 USPS priority. Will be in separate envelopes. Counting from the date they received them in the passport office to return of new passports: 4 weeks and 4 days. The reason they stopped the trial of the online renewal, was because they did not have a way to locate/trace the passport, if needed. So, they have to reprogram that software. That may be why there were problems with those passports being delayed. Interestingly, our new passports were produced in the Tucson processing center. Mailed from there, priority 2 day.

Unfortunately, they discontinued the New Grounds Coffee package back in Feb. Don’t even get me started. Very disappointed. The alcohol beverage package or zero alcohol packages include the coffees, but quite expensive, unless you drink alcohol or a lot of soda to make it worth it. You can see those cruise personalizer >beverage packages. We don’t drink a lot of alcohol or drink sodas, so the coffee package was perfect for us. Now, we buy the coffees a la cart at the IC. Prices have gone up, of course. There are several threads on this from Feb/Mar in the Princess forum.

Be careful with this. Embarkation is to make sure all your documents are in order. Please check your travel summary for the departure time, as it will show your correct time. Make sure it’s 4:00 pm. If you’re running late and it’s going to be close… call the enroute number on your travel summary to advise them. It is clearly stated on there. Whether it is EZAir or independent air or for whatever reason. I would never show up 30 mins before, unless it was unavoidable and had notified Princess. If you’re documents are not in order, or if you’ve not done the proper checkin online here’s what Princess states: CHECK-IN REQUIREMENTS FOR DEPARTURES FROM U.S. PORTS You are required to provide complete and accurate immigration information no later than 24 hours before embarkation. You can do this and select your preferred arrival time using the MedallionClass app. For more information, please visit https://princess.com/oceanready. Guests with incomplete immigration information who have not completed cruise check-in 90 minutes prior to scheduled departure will be denied boarding.

Great idea for a window cling. I’d get a big grizzly or black bear, if you’re going to AK. 🐻 😜

At the Venetian in Las Vegas, I set my flashlight on flashing red and pointed it outward, since the windows are reflective glass. It worked. That almost sounds like Amsterdam. 😂 They’ve gotten more strict with decorating cabins and say you can use any decorations with magnets, but not tape. They don’t even put up happy birthday or anniversary sign’s anymore. IDK about decorating the window/sliding glass door.

Yes, just tell your TA you want to book the Princess transfer from port to the SFO airport.

Not normally, but I have seen it reduced from a post.

You didn’t wait too long.
