Do they have pool noodles to assist with floating? My DH is not a strong swimmer and is concerned about drift snorkeling.

Yes we did. The luggage appeared to be all off when we walked through the terminal but there looked like a lot of it to search through. If you are on Royal Princess, try using the forward or aft elevators, not mid ship!!!

We just used them yesterday. We got off the Royal around 8, you go straight down middle aisle to station R. We checked in, got on the van and waited about 10-15 minutes, and were on our way by 8:30. We had a 12:10 flight and had plenty of time. I definitely would recommend the service.

His over charge was removed late last night after I went back to guest services. My DD and I are relaxing in the Sanctuary today and all drinks have ended up on her. I think that is fitting since we pay for her anyway. Lol. I was told by the Sabatini’s manager the waiters tend to put all on one for quickness. They really need to fix this.

We have been cruising this week on the Royal. Our issue is drink orders placed in the MDR are all being credited to DH. DD and myself are each having 2 glasses of wine with meals. Numerous trips to Guest Services has not fixed it nor has his last evening over charge been removed even after we were told it would be.

Thanks for that info.

I have a question. We have cruised Celebrity with a drink package for several years. There is no drink limit on Celebrity. When ordering wine in the MDR, our glasses are topped off frequently with only 1 “charge” showing up on our account. Is this handled the same way on Princess or is each glass of wine equivalent to one “charge” at dinner?

Trying to convince my DH this is better then a B2B on Sapphire or Coral but he is not going for it. Will keep trying!

So happy to read you are enjoying cruising again. I know you have said how much you are enjoying the Sapphire. We are looking to do a similar trip in 2025 and are debating between the Coral and the Sapphire. Which would you recommend? We do book mid aft on Caribe deck for the half covered balcony. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Hope all is well with your mom, have traveled and worried about elderly parents. It is not easy.

That is the deposit amount I see in Princess too. I have not seen $200 deposit.

We are looking at either the Grand 17 day or the Ruby 22 day. My TA site says $800 non refundable deposit but the Princess site with same price says $800 refundable. Has the deposit been refundable for others? We are cruising this month so would wait until on board to book, but DH is cabin particular.

We are Ruby so cannot see pricing or cabin availability today. Can a TA see this today? Will it be available early tomorrow or after 8am west coast time? thanks

I was able to add our DD to the plus package thru my TA when we booked. I would call again for sure.

Also is this possible if doing a B2B?

This is similar to what Celebrity did after the New Year. We were cruising early in the year and final payment had been months earlier. Room service switched to continental breakfast only free and delivery fee and gratuity to a hot breakfast or any room service after 11am. Our DD who likes to sleep in had fruit and danish only for breakfast.

My DD and I went to the CC desk on the ship the first cruise we did after she turned 18. Her points were all on file and she was issued a CC number with the correct status.

I also was told no for our January 2024 cruise when I called a few weeks ago. I may try again closer to the cruise.

Has any one been able to upgrade only for 1 person while on the ship?

Is there any update on the possible strike?

Are the Good Spirits drinks covered with Plus?

Hope you had a great cruise. Please come back with an update on the rest of your trip.

Enjoy the water taxi. We did it for the first time in January and had a blast. There is a bar on board and we got off to eat at 15th Street Fisheries and had a great lunch.

Which Hampton Inn? We are booked at Hampton Inn 28th ave and their web page says airport pickups.

My DH and adult DD are happy with the Classic package. I have always called and upgraded myself. I did try last week for an upcoming cruise and was told no, we all have to upgrade. I will try again later this week. I am also curious how this is handled if on board.

Same here as in Royal Princess in August. We booked a ship excursion with for the train and Yukon rather then booking on our own with Chilkoot as we were concerned about tender timing.
