We've had that problem as well. We just tell them go around us.

"Her" chair? If you have an issue either tell them where to go or tell the you'll get security after them.

I wonder if staff remove them as the cruise director might think they look tacky.

I heard they removed them, but perhaps a little $$ might persuade?

Considering Princess uses Select grade beef & not Choice or Prime, I doubt we'll pay the premium for Crown Grill. We're in Reserve Dining room, so hopefully it will be good as it should be for the cost of the Reserve class up charge.Deck 6 & 7 are likely The Suite & Reserve level dining rooms.

It's basically the same with us. My spouse has no problem moving a hogger's item & turning it over to the staff. I got into it with some poster a time back. Pretty much was a chair hog.Being in higher accommodations this time, we'll probably just stay up in Aqua Mar & enjoy ourselves.Looking down on a video recently( a really good one on Youtube), it is pretty obvious that loungers are lower in numbers.

We'll be on board next week. My spouse says he won't hesitate to move stuff. He'll ask pax in the area & if no one responds it's theirs, he'll look for drinks with ice melted & make the move. We have an extended balcony in Concierge, but I hear they will not provide a lounge chair.

How true.

Proof is in the puddin'

Whether O is making the errors or not, If you don't bring your documentation, it just compounds it.

Remember that luxury brands sell far less than mainstream brands.Jaguar sells a few hundred thousand vehicles compared to Ford & GM seling millions. You should have included Range Rover which has the most dismal reliability record in the industry.

Whenever we do a B2B, we always make sure there is NO room change. We make the reservations well in advance. Obviously if one does it some months in advance, one may not get the desired results.

It should be standard knowledge that if you have an issue in ANY of the restaurants, always seek out the Maitre D.This is their area. Let them handle it. Overcharge? Sounds like an issue with drinks, as the rest. is included in the cost of your trip.

We had it on our first OI trip several years back. We were at a large table in Jacques. No one at the table had ever had it before(surprising since a lot of pax cruise the line for the food. We gave small samples to our tablemates.8 orders were delivered almost immediately. Including the portions we had given to our tablemates..We usually have it the same as here. Pate' is nice, but prefer the "real" thing. We usually ask for a little Damson Plum preserves to put on it as well.

Princess is NOT known for really good food. This is why we do mostly Oceania & have met a lot of former pax from Princess & Celebrity. I do love the staff. In my opinion the most friendly we've met on any line.We are giving Princess another try in 2025 on the new Sun. We booked a Cabana Reserve cabin.Those in the suites & Reserve have their own dedicated restaurants. I'm hoping that with the extra fee for this accommodation that the food will be better than we've seen on Princess. We did the Regal in 2016 the food was very good to excellent. On our last trip to Hawaii it was awful. the head waiter in Club Class(now Reserve) made a "special" dinner. It was Spaghetti & Meatballs. Yuck! We ordered off the Crown Grill menu more times than I wanted to admit.

Sounds like you might be in reserve or suites. They will move you into the correct checkin line.Be sure you let them know your accommodations. If not you might be in the "general" boarding lines, which can be quite long depending on ship size.

You'll be able to get them done at the terminal.

We found they list sample menus in the dining section online. I'm sure they are not always right up to date, but found them to have pretty good examples.

Our arrival time was picked at 12noon. We plan on arriving a little earlier than that.

Considering there are no more than 1250pax you make embarkation like it was on a huge RCCL ship.It's not hat bad.

If you are in Concierge or the suites the items are generally better. Overall compared to many "supposedly" premium lines we find O's room service menu pretty decent.

It's farm raised Atlantic Salmon. Normally I prefer wild as it's often less "oily" than the farm raised which just feeds them fish meal.That being said, I love the Jacques favorite Salmon. Always had it M/R with that great sauce on it.It has never been dry as was mentioned, but food is subjective. An example the Rotisserie Chicken was no better than a Costco bird in my impression.For those who feel the anytime favorites have rather boring accompaniments, you can ask for items to come with it.Don't be afraid to speak up.

We generally found Jacques favorites to be O's version of anytime favorites. Also remember that Terrace can do some pretty nice meals. Generally better than main restaurants on a lot of other lines.

Go higher up the food chain. That being said keep checking with the rest. reservation desk. We prefer 6:30 to 7 time frame.Got 3, but Red Ginger we settled for 8 Pm. Will try to change that. We found it's fairly easy.

Helps if you gave us more info. on your likes etc. I'll try. For Food O generally wins. All the restaurants are free Except Le Reserve which pairs wine with the tastings. Not all rest. on Seaborne are that great. Azamara having been sold off still has the jury out. The food quality is a step down.Ages on O are generally 65+. This might be older than you prefer. Dress is Country Club Casual, which means fewer jeans more khaki style & generally a little more formal. Suits & ties are not required. You'll see a few.Some will bring a sport coat like us, but not wear it often. Azamara is pretty casual but not sloppy like some other lines. Seaborne has more formal but again really more low key.The best thing to do is watch some Youtube videos of your preferred lines. Avoid the ones done by the lines. Really full of bull. look for actual pax showing their own experiences.
