The Upgrade price is $14.00 plus gratuities, I have it as a perk and it's not showing in the cruise planner, I called X about the upgrade, they tell me yes you can do it onboard. It's better to upgrade to Premium Alcoholic, the Premium Non Alcoholic cost $22 PPPD vs $14.

 

Now they have also raised the Classic price, so the difference is back to $10.00 + gratuity.

Thank you for your comments.
We leave in a few weeks with 2 in our party of 8 using scooters.
Just want to have proper expectations.

Interested to hear about use of a scooter on the Reflection.

Where does it go at night?

When at the MDR? Buffet?

Other venues?

Are there any restrictions?

Onboard CB now. No inkling that there are any issues with the ship. We can only hope!

Looks like the Caribbean & Emerald (at least) have just raised their liquor prices.

Too funny. They already have a $3 delivery fee in place for pizza from room service. This just sounds to me that they are extending it to all items, but it's not per person :)

Does this mean that the charge goes up to $12 if 4 of us share a pizza delivered to the room?

We are sailing with another couple and want to invite a friend & wife for BVE. Can all 6 of us be linked for BVE boarding or would each couple invite one of the friends?

Does anybody have experiences to share about recent (1-2 years) weddings on Princess ships, where the Captain performed the ceremony at sea?

There has been discussion about "updates" on other ships. Some have had 40" TVs installed, some new bedding, soap dispensers, etc. Have any of these changes been made on CB?

If we were to "buy" 2 Sanctuary seats, and are travelling with another couple, could we share among the 4 of us as long as no more than 2 were in the Sanctuary at the same time?

I just found one difference in the deck plans. On Caribe deck, Interior cabins C324 to C336 (4 rooms, grade IB and IA) are now missing from the new plans. My guess is this area will now be crew, probably not for crew cabins, but perhaps a bigger laundry?

The cabins are ADDED for the post-May 15 deck plan. Perhaps they used to be for non-passenger use. Good catch.

I thought they added an extra bar stool at the Lobby Bar, but it was just a speck of dirt on my screen. I don't even see category changes between the 2 plans, although there were changes from the one I printed out last October.

Here is the Princess policy statement:

"Alcohol Policy

As provided in the Passenger Contract, passengers agree not to bring alcoholic beverages of any kind on board for consumption, except one bottle of wine or champagne per person (no larger than 750 ml), per voyage.*

Consumption of personal wine or champagne is limited to your stateroom. A $15.00 per bottle corkage fee (which is subject to change without notice) will be applied to your shipboard account for any personal wine or champagne consumed in any public area of the ship. Any wines or champagnes supplied from the ship's stock to passengers would not be subject to a corkage fee.

Alcoholic beverages that are purchased duty free from the ship's gift shop, or at ports of call, will be collected for safekeeping and delivered to the passenger's stateroom on the last day of the cruise. A member of the ship's staff will be at the gangway to assist passengers with the storage of their shoreside alcoholic purchases while our Boutiques staff will assist passengers with shipboard alcoholic purchases."

It only mentions the 750 ml size restriction as what we can bring on without corkage. It doesn't say anything about the size of bottles that would be charged corkage. So, if I declare my 750 ml bottle as the "free" one, then add a couple of 1.5 L bottles, I should be charged $15 per bottle for those. The 1.5 L bottle IS a pretty common size.

With all the discussion of wine on this forum, I'm surprised nobody has brought this up before.

According to the wine policy, I am allowed to bring on one bottle of wine, up to 750 ml, for free. After that, I pay the corkage fee. Nothing is said about a different fee for larger bottles. So do I assume that I would pay the same $15 corkage for each 1.5L bottle that I bring with me?

Decided to play it safe with a 1:40pm flight. Now I can get excited!

For a June cruise returning to FLL, is it reasonable to think I could make a 10:30 flight home?

Regarding the Youth Program age groups, the Cruise Answer Book says:

Age groups may differ on Caribbean Princess...

What would the age groups be on a cruise where there are a few hundred children/teens?

Can you book complex routings through ezAir? Like A to B before the cruise, then B to C after the cruise for a few days, then C back to A?
