    Totally agree. We're being charged $10/day for fitness classes that we don't use, specialty desserts that we don't eat, and the upgraded dining is limited to the Wheelhouse Gastropub on the ships that sail from our homeport of SF.

    There's also the possibility that Princess will take something away from the non-package customers to incentivize the purchase of Plus or Premier. Like when they make Alfredo's an upcharge,

    Our last cruise included at least 3 time changes and it usually took a while for our phones to catch up. Best to wear a watch and set it when your hear the announcement.

    Ah, I see. We were in a balcony room so the desk is close to the bed.

    Looks like you're getting at least one wish: Crown Princess, as of December 2023, has been retrofitted with USB-A and USB-C ports bedside. Hopefully other ships will get the same treatment,

    All lightning strikes are not equal. Passengers are reporting that this was an extraordinarily large one.

    I'm on the eclipse cruise, too. We all received that same notice on March 22.

    Shower puff for the bath gel.

    Which port? Ocho Rios is a ghetto, I wouldn't get off the ship there.

    If you must travel only during school breaks, I think you have some good choices: 1) HAL, the geriatric line 2) A very expensive line like Crystal, Oceana or Viking. 3) Virgin, which doesn't allow kids at all.

    Those are the bomb! Can’t properly use shower gel without one. Also known as a shower puff?

    That’s exactly what we were told by our excellent room steward. Back up in the laundry. First time for us, too.

    We had to ask on our recent Crown Princess cruise. Balcony room.

    I've seen the blue Princess bags but have never been offered one. You might have to try eBay.

    We sailed Emerald in September. Ship was in great shape, food and entertainment were fine. Crew was friendly and hardworking. Maybe I should look back at our photos to make sure we were really on the Emerald?

    For sure. Good point. And so does any other rewards card if you use it to pay for your cruise and related expenses.

    A lot of Elite passengers are seriously invested in their status. Adding a new level above them could set off a firestorm.

    The elusive Juice Bar. Where did you find it?

    HAL isn't the only one to place the two tops close together. I generally don't mind but right after the pandemic it was a bit creepy.

    My wife always gets the Chilean Sea Bass. Great stuff!

    Fun game for sure. Did anyone take an offer from the banker? I've watched a few Deal or No Deal shows on Princess and I've yet to see anyone yield the stage. Which can result in an outcome such as this:

    I, too, would like to see recent numbers for other lines.

    I’ve been on CC since 2016 and one theme has been constant: “the food is getting worse”. I’m a repeat customer on two lines: Princess (7 years) and Carnival (14). i don’t think their food quality has gone downhill at all. The portions in the MDR might have gotten smaller. I haven’t measured, but I’m certainly not going hungry.

    Our VP called recently to "wish us bon voyage" and of course made a plug for the FCD. Seems like a no brainer, especially since we live near a Princess homeport.

    Best I know, everything you said is correct. We usually bring a gift for our room stew and give it to him right away. Normally it’s chocolate. We assume the guy can barter his gift if he doesn’t like it. we’ve also cash tipped our favorite bartenders (usually someone in Vines who has taken good care of us) on the last night.
