April 5th regal princess is my next solo cruise. The hype is real.

2 day hype! Day after tomorrow

Yes, but using ocean now it would not count as room service so no $5 fee

If you do the order as an OceanNow request, you just need to pay the one-time fee, though if it is a drink and you do not have the package, you do pay for the drink. If you order room service specifically, then it is the $5 charge and the extra for any drink like beer, wine, soda, etc. OceanNow will deliver to you wherever you are on the ship, but room service is just for your room. It is a bit odd to have the room service charge if the same order can be done with OceanNow

The delivery charge is a room service charge. You can use the app and not do it as room service and it will not add that $5 fee

True, either way, it is no big deal. Thanks. I am really looking forward to my first Princess cruise and my first time in Alaska.

How long is temporary? I am hoping they get it back up by the 15th.

24 days till I am boarding a ship.

Well, excuse me, almost 1/3rd happy now?

Most of the cost of Plus is covering the gratuities. So it depends on if you like the other stuff. Would you want to drink soda or any of the juices? Wifi? Premium desserts?

65 days to go.

I am doing Crown Princess Aug 15-25th, First time in Alaska, the first time flying out of the country too.

I would assume at least one or two should havethe upscale items. Maybe either the bar by the MDRs or the Alist bar (the one by the steakhouse.)

Same here except for needing to fly in to the port. Saturday I am boarding the ship

15 days, just over 2 weeks

Good to know. I'll have to Fly out of LAX after a cruise in February and I was a bit worried 2:30PM might be a problem for getting a flight home.

That is good to know. I'll be on that ship next month, I might need to bring something to change into for dinner.

Good because they have me at 1PM, that is late

I would love to do a cruise on a new ship at least one of the first sailings.

I have 2 solo cruises booked. MSC Seashore September 10th and NCL Bliss Febuary 25th

The Joy is a great ship, but not much in the way of pool/pool space if that is what you care about. The Bliss I believe has some bigger pools and solo cabins if you are going solo.

I have been looking into a PC cruise for early 2023, but going solo the historic locks are expensive more so then the new locks.

I use my B/W laser for my first cruise and my luggage got their quick enough.

62 days till I can go. Although I am already thinking about what the next trip will be.

That is crazy. So I can get a latte on my drink package, but getting some chocolate in it for a mocha makes it different enough it will only be covered on the highest plan? MSC is crazy.
