So you have never actually been in an R class bathroom?

Dine My Way & all new Dining questions since cruising restart!!
Kay S replied to Host CJSKIDS's topic in Princess Cruises
That's how I remember it. (The MDR) -
Interesting passenger info about the Regatta June 21 cruise in Alaska
Kay S replied to lj77346's topic in Oceania Cruises
Alaska, on all lines, is family-heavy. There will also be lots of first-timers. I know people who have only taken one cruise in their lives, and that was to Alaska. -
What’s a reasonable delivery time for room service?
Kay S replied to BamaVol's topic in Princess Cruises
I have found room service times to vary from ship to ship. (By this I mean delivery to the cabin not ordering elsewhere from the app.) -

Kay S replied to Host CJSKIDS's topic in Princess Cruises
Some days I like to eat breakfast in the MDR and take my time lingering over coffee. I know people whose only MDR meal is breakfast. BTW, I assume there will be open seating in one dining room for breakfast, as it has been, and no reservations or fixed dining involved. -
LAX is hell on earth, and anything you can do to make it easier, you should do. I have found Princess transfers to be good. (In other airports, of course, since LAX is my home airport. We drive to San Pedro.)

Is it too late to cancel the cruise? Sounds like you would be happier elsewhere.

I haven't done my first O cruise yet (this fall) but I'm not under the illusion that everything they do for me is altruistic. If they change to a new food venue, I'm going to assume they do it for the business of making more money. I don't think I have ever "blindly accept[ed] ad hype and marketing efforts." I think most people are like me and recognize that O is in the business of making money and not the business of serving me.

Dine My Way & all new Dining questions since cruising restart!!
Kay S replied to Host CJSKIDS's topic in Princess Cruises
As I understand it, each of the three dining rooms will be given over to one of the dining schemes. Fixed, reservations and walk-up. You will go to the dining room assigned to your dining preference. You can't pick and choose; that is, you can't choose fixed dining and then show up to the reservations dining room and ask for a fixed seating table. If you do choose fixed, there will be both an early and a late seating in one specific dining room and that becomes your dining room for the cruise. However, who knows what will change between now and then. -
Bolognese is my favorite. The best I ever had was in France in a town near the Italian border. I also love soup and I’m not a big fan of the watery ones. Give me lentil or chowder or broth just by itself without three strings of celery or something in it. Oh and Minestrone with the beans. i have never been in a Golden Corral I don’t think.

Nothing wrong with a good beef barley soup.

Recognized by whom? Would it surprise you to know that there are people who do follow the rules and who do like to eat flavorful food? I suspect your wine glass is perpetually half empty.

Why is Oceania pronounced Oceana rather than Oceania?
Kay S replied to Stockjock's topic in Oceania Cruises
Best answer. I use the "i" and my husband doesn't. We still know what we're discussing. 😐 -
If you want to see one on a YouTube video, try another ship of the same class. I saw a few Nautica videos up a few days ago.

Shared dining-does it still happen with anytime dining?
Kay S replied to latebuyer's topic in Holland America Line
Main dining is fixed dining with regular shared table mates. You can ask to share with open seating, but you likely won't get the same tablemates. -
Holland america vs Princess Cruise lines
Kay S replied to mcrcruiser's topic in Holland America Line
"Seems"? There are probably some official stats somewhere on this, but my experience has been the opposite. -
The same way it helps me: nada, zilch, nothing. The direction Princess has been going with Elite benefits (reducing them) makes me think there is no new higher tier coming. With even more Elites, Princess can reduce benefits for even more people! This scheme just seems fishy to me somehow. "Money grab" was the best definition I heard.

Princess is very good at figuring out where to wrangle the next nickel or dime. -
