She does seem to be sincerely trying to be helpful. As we know she has her facts mixed up. The difference between an amenity and perk can certainly be confusing. I wonder if she now realizes that the move up to the Sky Suite automatically includes the Luminae and the retreat. I suspect she is confused about what Celebrity use to call the indulge package, which is not included. Having reading these posts, I am sure she now has a better understanding.

Does a shot of Baileys cost less that an alcoholic mudslide?

You get all the amenities associated with the new cabin. (Everything that normally comes wit that cabin). You do not get the AI perks if you had paid for a Cruise only rate for instance. You also get the CC points associated with your original booking. Also you pay a significantly reduced rate for the Move Up.

So anyone buying a package was able to get it for $50 a day even after the December date for all cruises departing prior to 2/20? That is good and it does make sense.

I seldom saw anyone dining in the Salty Dog Pub.

In January I was able to change the HDMI input, but I could not get my Fire Stick to bring up a keyboard so I could put in my credentials. I was so busy, it was no big deal, but I could not get it to work. The video showing how to change the input, does not show putting in the credentials. I wonder if Princess made a change to their system to block streaming to the TV.

I am confident that you are correct after 2/20. I just wondering if anyone paid the $60 a day for the Plus Package after the December date and cruised before 2/20. They would certainly be getting a bad deal. I purchased my package before the introduction of the Plus for $40 a day for a cruise in January. My drink limit stayed at $12.

We’re you able to put in your credentials for the sign in?

We recently cruised on the Emerald and tried both. They were both very good, but I enjoyed the Crown Grill the most. I suggest you review each of the menus and make your decision. I also suggest you do not go to Sabatinis if you are in rough waters.

Same for us. So, the answer is no.

Why? Are you hoping the drink prices do not increase?

True at a certain level of food quality. (Poor food is not acceptable). I have never experienced unacceptable food on a cruise ship. (Including US based river cruises). I personally cannot understanding why someone that would cruise for the food would cruise on Celebrity or Princess, Oceania and Regent have much better food. I cruise mostly on Celebrity first and Princess (when there is a unique itinerary). I was recently surprised on how much Princess’s food has improved.

Lucky you. Princess ran out of a lot of stuff on our cruise, but it was a 15 day cruise.

On my 1/17/23 Emerald cruise they ran out of Pellegrino in both sizes. They did not have any Perrier. Perhaps this is a recent change?

That is what the document said last week, the overweight benefit applied to all eligible airlines. It is not available from Port Everglades to MIA however.

Obviously people have different experiences. I found the Luminae crowded and somewhat hectic on the first night. If unlimited speciality dining is included with my booking, I like to enjoy our first meal with a great view from the Tuscan. It has become our tradition. i leave our Murano experience for later as it is our favorite.

The boats that are used for tendering are also legal lifeboats with an higher capacity inside, but obviously you would not set on top when used as a lifeboat.

Used the top seats on the Emerald this week,

Perhaps Princess updated the Emerald’s suites.

I am in A751 in an Emerald Aft suite, they are shelves on each side of the sink/vanity. Weird that some suites would be different. It is true that there are no drawers in the bathroom.

My response was really bad. I meant to say that you must have an Android based phone, since you cannot tether wifi with an I Phone. I also noticed today that an I Phone does not give you a notification outside of the AP if you have a Chat message. Our friend’s Android based phone notifies you outside the AP. (On their main screen)

Yes, so disappointing. In Club Dining, they said we had to special order in advance if we wanted it. we will see if the works tonight.

I booked a cruise last year (3/22). This is a partial view of my invoice/booking from Princess. I booked it direct and then transferred it to my TA for a discount. Note the wording about the included beverage, WiFi, and crew appreciation. This was before the creation of the term of “Plus package”. it was built into the price and is not listed as a separate item on the invoice, but as I recall the base price was $40 more per person. I suggest you review your original first booking invoice and make sure it says the same thing. If it does not, I suspect you did not book it with those benefits. If stated, then perhaps Princess screwed up when they cancelled you original cruise and changed you booking number and cruise. (Assuming it was suppose to be the same deal) This should help you prove your case! Good luck.

Is this not the main berth that is usually used? Welcome home. From the Crown Plaza

Thank you for sharing. Safe travels home.
