Thanks....how about on your return...do you book in advance or wait at the taxi rank?

No ... Southampton (it is a city)

Sailing from and returning to Southampton this summer. On both days there are 5 ships docked. Will getting a taxi from/to our hotel in the city (Southampton) be a potentially long wait?

Sailing on Sky this summer and am interested to know what Casino games are available and what the minimum bets are. (you may note that I am not concerned about the max limits 🙂 , small-time gamblers are we.) Wifey may play a few slots and I prefer Texas Holdem......but curious about what other games are on board

So am I correct in assuming that you do remove crew appreciation, as is you right, and reward staff directly as you see fit.?

Curious.......do you not pay crew appreciation?

so that is for the soda package and not Plus/Premier?

have you got a link please?

you are quite correct that it is within contract law....but keep spouting on about it in a public forum does make you sound like a tight fisted grump

Those figures are charges to the passenger, they are not profit to Princess. Who knows if the crew appreciation charges all go to the crew, or does Princess cream some off? The charges earnt from the internet packages per day minus the cost per day of providing said package is the profit to Princess. Likewise....with all beverages Princess has to purchase it before reselling....at a markup. So hopefully @memoak can enlighten us with what the profits are

"Our inside stateroom is nice although there are no USB or 110v connections bedside" Not sure...but have you checked the base of the bedside lights for a USB? They are there on Enchanted and Sky

so what are these profits in monetary terms per passenger ?

not sure why you of all people (7600 posts in 7 years) are finding it so difficult to find the cheapest price....if the packages dont suit you so be it....

whatever they play around with on pricing......if I can get better perks for the same cost as yesterday, I don't care what they have done.

the "dress code" or the discussion on dress code?

Just curious....in the casino do you play tables or slots? How often fo you play?

what do you consider to be good whisky...I note that you have spelled it without an "e". just curious and not judgemental...maybe learn a bit as well 🙂

Huh...."buffaloed"...what do you mean? Yup...we need wifi....don't question why...we do. Period. Yup ..we will pay "staff appreciation".... any reason we should not? Yup.. couple of glasses of decent wine and a couple of good cocktails...we like a drink. so...for us it does make sense.

Yup....and if you don't want wifi / hardly drink alcohol/soda or good coffee and only tip those you want to tip....then $2000 is quite a bit. For us and the way we cruise (and it seems for many others) it makes sense, We all cruise to enjoy ourselves in our own ways. PS...if they keep pumping the package price and the individual drink prices (rip off) we will consider other vacations.

Why are you still amazed? People do the sums and based on what they consider they will consume, decide it's right for them. No rights or wrongs, just the maths.

what time does the buffet open?

get yourself a travel mug, decant IC into said cup, carry to buffet.
