OK, I think I will "try" to find that area and put our information in, as we did not book through EZAir.

HotRoot, the reason I am "interested" in it, is 24 years ago, I poured the champagne in the tower, and I WANT to do it again. 🙂 Yes, as Paula MacFAn said, it is a photo time, and when a person PAYS for something, they want to get it. 🙂 SargassoPirate, do we ever LOOK at the pictures again??? For me, YES. I am very old fashion in some ways, and I have MORE picture albums than anyone else, and that is MY way of looking at pictures, although I have some on my phone as well. Jwattle exactly. It is for ME, reliving MY special memories. Paula MacFan, yes I knew you responded to me WHEN the champagne tower was to be, but I never knew what deck/location it was until now. Thank you for those that responded to the "location/deck of where the champagne tower is.

We have booked the Symphony MDR for our dinners, when we are not going to one of the specialty restaurants. As far as I know, the Symphony MDR is close to the end of the ship on Deck 5. If you have seen/done the champagne tower recently, can you tell me the "Deck and Location" of the Champagne tower? I know it is also formal night, and I believe that is when the champagne tower is done. As you can probably guess, I want to do it ALL, but I want to make sure I DO the Champagne tower, as it has been 24 years since I did it before!

Thanks for "showing" that to me, but Candy4040 says I don't need to do this? I'm a little confused. 😞 As I said we are flying in the day before, and I'm thinking ???, someone said we could line up/start getting on the ship from 11:00 on???

Thanks for ALL your input. Paula MacFan, thanks for letting me know they will deliver a paper asking for our disembarkation time choices. I knew in all my cruises, I have always had something like that, and that is good to know.

Thank you for your input on my question. So for the demonstration and behind the scenes presentation, is there a charge for that? Yes, I will definitely be reading the daily events as well, the night before, and MARKING it with my pen, if it is something that I might want to see/do. 🙂

My first question is, how do we know what time we will be boarding the ship? I started to put our flight (we are not booking our flight through Princess) information in, but it dawned on me, we are flying into Galveston, TX the day BEFORE, staying overnight, and boarding the ship the next day. So how do we know what time we will board the ship? Is there an area in Princess website, where we put our flight information in for when we are leaving the ship? I'm used to the cruise line asking for our flight schedule to/from the ship, so they would schedule us the time to board, and the time to leave the ship. What I seen on Princess website didn't seem to be what I'm used to seeing on our cruise line websites.

In the next 24 days, the 8 of us hope to be on the Regal Princess for the first time. If YOU have been on this ship within the past year or less, what would YOU recommend we SEE or DO, that you enjoyed on this ship?

Those temperatures LOOK very good to me. 🙂

I did check with my PVP, just to make sure "I" was telling the other 7 people who were with me, correctly. She did say the OBC that we have is ours, but it NEEDS to be spent, as will lose it, and I conveyed that to the other 7 as well. Even though we purchased the premium package, I have a feeling one way or another, well try to find something to spend it on. 🙂

I don't remember seeing "Please enjoy using these credits onboard as they are not refundable," on ALL of our emails that I received. The ONLY thing I noticed was that there were no astricks by the OBC amounts. I have TOLD all my group they have these OBC to spend on the ship,so hopefully this works. 🙂 We bought the Premier Package or the expensive one, and that SHOULD cover everything that we will be doing, as we don't do the casino, spa, etc. and if they are NOT going to refund it, then we DO need to spend it! 🙂

Thanks for the pictures. We just have "soon to be" 24 days, and then we will find out what it is all about. 🙂

All I can say is I have Princess PVP, and had NO clue that I would be getting any OBC, having 7 other people with me. To make the long story short, they got $25 OBC, and I received an additional $25 OBC for them as well, for referring them.

The question was ask, can pizza be ordered from Alfredo's to go? I think someone said if you had the Premier Package, that could be done twice. Is that "twice" for the whole trip, or twice a day?

All I know is our cruise was already paid for, but we had NOT put the REQUIRED information into the system. When we did that, we also ordered the Premier Package for us, and that was charged on the credit card then.

Actually I just looked, and did not find any astricks. So I gather(???) that we should spend this on the ship, or lose it???

The 8 of us will be cruising on the Regal less than a month from now. I had looked at the deck plans and seen the Retreat listed. What is so special about this pool, other than it is the same depth for the whole pool?

Hmorrow, thanks for giving your input on this. So as long as we go to guest services, they should be able to add her credit card, and not have mine covering any expenses she might have, right?

Crookshanks, thanks for showing this to me. That really makes a lot of sense. I have all of this, but never paid attention to whether there was an astrick or not.

The rock and roll music sound good to me. 🙂

The room was booked under my name. I have a friend that will be in the room with me. When we went into the system to put her information in "first", along with the CREDIT CARD information, ordering the Premier Package as well, her information was kicked out. Once we put my information in, and "ordered" the Premier Package, MY credit card was charged for both of us, instead of using her credit card information too. Just curious why?

OK, lets see if??? I understand this right. We will be cruising on the 25th of next month, or a month from yesterday. We were working on trying to get ALL information into the system last night, as we knew it needed to be done. I received confirmation from Princess this morning that everything as well as the "Premier Package" went through. Also our OBC went up $25 as well. Actually, if there is nothing purchased on the ship, there won't be any bill. Do we still lose OBC, or as someone mentioned it is mailed to us? The word REFUNDABLE has been mentioned more than one time in regard to OBC. How do I know if it is refundable? In other words, if it is NOT refundable, than I should be using the OBC for something on the ship, right???

Thank you so much for your answer. I am making "notes" for myself, and I especially didn't want to miss the champagne tower, even though I don't drink champagne, as well as I didn't want any of us to miss the formal nights too. 🙂 I'm sure the paper they put in the room tells this, but since I'm making up my notes "ahead" of time, that will sort of give me a "heads up." 🙂

Paula MacFan, I failed to ask you when I posted to you earlier. I think your itinerary is the same as what ours will be, starting with Sunday. What night was your first formal night, and was that also the champagne tower event or I think???, it was meet the captain night? I haven't done the champagne tower in 24 years, and I want to do it again. 🙂

Thank you ALL for your answers. I know I will be having the premier package, so I gather that this OBC will be applied to this, hopefully.
