  1. No Yes. Spotlight Bar is the same one they showed on July Discovery Princess cruises (although Marcus stated it was premiered here). Shows were at 7:30 & 9:30 except 1 night when 8 & 10 due to a piazza all officer celebration. IMHO those under 50 will understand 5 Skies much better than those over 70. (Its a virtual game thru 5 levels ..... my new favorite show barely beating out Silk Road)
  2. So if I fly into Vancouver to cruise to Alaska I complete 2 ArriveCAN apps? 1 for 1 terminal / 1 for ship??? And complete both together?
  3. Not OP but according to @sultan_sfocovid testing for the 65 staying on cruise (B2B) with Canadian ports was done in Vista Lounge 2 days before end of cruise. No testing at port
  4. It was the last sea day on the Enchanted Princess Transatlantic (9/15). Great mushy peas. Several options but I saw this thread too late to take a pic of the menu. Also nc
  5. Glad you made your flight, Peter. I can attest to it being messy. Incomplete shore side directions, ppl walking right in front of busses trying to exit, immigration on Friday then spot customs inspections on Saturday (WHY couldn't they be done together??). Princess not responsible for either shore personnel or CBP. Just seemed to be 3 different ideas about what should or was going to happen.
  6. 😬 oops! Obviously was still tired after getting home late last night
  7. Ok. Since no one else pointed out a glaring *****? This is the 1st time I have ever seen folding chairs :: Princess Live / Singles & Solos in Take 5 / available for show nights in Piazza (in sundrei store). Seriously?!?! I'm not new to Princess, just new to being offered a folding chair. Nope. I don't do that Another 1st time: their request. Boarded with 1150 OBC, left with under 35. Almost gone 🤑 now to book one of those fall ones w/o solo supplement (if my repaired or replaced air conditioner doesn't blow my budget)
  8. That's what my receipt said (would post but tossed it once I saw it on my account). Weird Didn't say elite discount so maybe it was on sale?? All I know was it was 15,% off ... regular sizes (3 oz tube) regular products. No onboard up pricing
  9. Regular clothing labels & prices. So if I need jeans, shirts, or sweaters I can get them without princess logo at Macy's prices (they carry Lauren & Chicos too!!) using my extra OBC. Sundries are also more down-to-earth pricing (toothbrush $3, toothpaste $3, tweezers $2.50 .... all 15% off for elites). Gone are the days of $7 toothpasts
  10. Almost back & no longer fit into my faded jean skirt (old one not new one .... no idea if I'll fit into that). New goal : be able to zip it all the way up after a meal. And re-dye it medium denim
  11. I can post but I cannot respond sometimes. Took 2 port days to get this to 'take' @Jadn13 I'm on Enchanted Princess A few other questions answered,: Yes the onion soup is vegan!! I had to ask for cheese. Menus have vegetarian & vegan dishes. No pescatarian ones I got the menu by informing the waiter that fish / shellfish cannot have a V as in the animal / plant / rock world it's animal. I've had 4 very different menus now but order dessert off the standard one as I'm not keen on vegan ice cream I became vegetarian as it was just to hard to find kosher chicken. Never ate mammals The 1st few nights I had a paper menu handed to me. But now I have Santorini table #87 (midship deck 5) available for me to arrive between 6:30-8 every night and have the vegetarian menu in the regular folder waiting for me. I get there at 7:1
  12. This makes me so happy 😊 ☺ last nights menu listed mussels as vegetarian so I asked my waiter if they were made out of mushrooms. He said no as vegetarians often ate shellfish. Nope. Pescatarians will eat fish, vegetarians will have eggs & some cheeses. Vegans just don't. So he brought me this menu --> All items can be made vegan!!!!! Thats day 8 for tonight, i had D7 yesterday
  13. I'm in a very nice upscale hotel in the UK. No tiny sample size takeaway containers of toiletries. Just 3 large bottles that they refill just like on Princess. Get the feeling it's the way now. Less plastic waste.
  14. Agreed. I go to Alaska to be walking outside. Hard to get that in Skagway The chocolates weren't that good, I can order whatever snacks I want brought to me anywhere, and I'm personally glad they're cutting down on tiny plastic bottles. I just fill my purse one from their larger bathroom one. Less plastic, less waste, JMHO.
  15. I've had 2 troublesome EZAIR flights. (1) BA canceled flights worldwide & American Airlines let me switch to them. Intransit office not involved. Princess shuttle was waiting for me at Heathrow. (2) Delta messed up my return flight. I was supposed to catch a connection in TX less than 30 minutes after my flight would get in from Fort Lauderdale. Texted my CVP as I landed for my cruise. Before I collected my luggage my CVP had me on a nonstop flight. So 2 issues: 1 I fixed / 1 they fixed. Have used EZAIR for all flights ex 1 (that went from SF / home base) boarding my 40th Princess cruise tomorrow
  16. What i would not tolerate is removing musicians or limiting them to only shows & piano bar. That would send me off to another line. We all have that tipping point
  17. Thats what I do if not ordering from the roaming servers in the piazza
  18. Can't do that on Viking .... its got a no one under 18 rule. As to the medallion. Ppl are overthinking this based on my 6 MC cruises. You can turn it into just a room key or take advantage of so many options. It's up to the individual. And no where is it written that you need to use it onshore. As to DMW, I tried it once. Didn't fit my style and never went back. I eat when I'm hungry. I have no idea what time that will be tomorrow
  19. I'd really like to know: Ship: Sailing Date: Category of Cabin Bid On: Bid Offered: Accepted (Y/N): Do I book a lesser cabin then bid the difference between short notice price & what I'm paying? Example: book coastal cruise at $×. Price drops to $× less 500. Do I offer to give up the 500 & upgrade? Or do I ask for a price reduction??
  20. Given all the current airline schedule changes, here's hoping that they move your departure back 5 or 10 minutes! Pre-covid that happened to my brother and sister-in-law. Their flight was scheduled out of Heathrow at 3:45 (IIRC) and the Windsor Castle disembarkation tour was only for passengers on flights after 4 pm. A few months before the flight the schedule changed to departure at 4:15 pm. Or you could book fast track assistance https://airssist.aero/fast-track/Buenos-Aires-airport-in-Mitu/
  21. I'd take it. They usually give a ridiculous amount of time to get through security and its only 5 minutes short. My disembark tour in Newark says for flights after 5pm and my flight is for 4:45. I'm good
  22. I'm just bumping this bc I think it should be pinned just like the MC, M&G, and cabin review threads.
  23. Never experienced any staff mustering the lifts. Just not a Princess thing Yes. That was my experience at 1st dinner on the Ruby Princess out of San Francisco April 23rd. Although I got on rather quickly, others waited hours. Even worse in Seattle June 30th. But that was the ports issue. No excuse for that April 23rd dinner. After 1.5 hrs I left the dining room. I had bread. Saw the show and went back to mid ship dining room where there wasn't an issue. Continued there for the rest of the cruise and always had the same table / wait staff. Ignored DMW for upcoming cruise.
