Never said I was a "serious" player just that I love roulette.  100$ limit every night max losses.   I do enjoy seeing the "high" rollers come in with their 100$ chips and try playing different patterns/ methods.  One couple lost $2000 in 4 spins.   bet 100 on red - lost, 200 on red - lost, 400 on red - lost, then finally 800 .... LOST.  That and several other random 100$ bets.  Seems like Vegas would know what it takes for house to stay on winning side.... Princess just wanted to make sure they were going to win more frequently by adding that face.

Wow can't believe they are charging 15$pp for Gigi's.  Does that mean the quality in Gigi's is worth 15$ more than the MDR?  NO!   What princess has done was take a fan favorite from included dining and found a way to get another nickel from people.   Well, I had Alfredos on the Royal and it was delicious as was the Slice pizza on 16.   Enchanted - Slice was terrible.  I tried it twice and could not finish either time.  So, I go to Gigi's with my plus package right???... nope, I purchased cruise 9 months ago when gigi's was included.  If I wanted gigi's I would have to pay 30$ for my wife and I to eat OR upgrade my "old" plus package for 140$.   While Gigi's is good, why would you spend more there when you can go to MDR to get Beef wellington, duck or NY strip?  It was said to see that many times Gigi's was nearly empty.  I will definitely look into NCL and RC over Princess next cruise.

I love playing Roulette.... at least I did... until Enchanted Princess added another number to the wheel.  This increases the house chances by having 39 numbers and then they keep payouts the same.  Seems Princess is not making enough money in the casino so they have to "cheat"/ make their own number to improve their odds of winning.

If I purchased my cruise one year ago and paid for princess plus, will I still get the princess prizes that was part of the package back then?  I see that the new plus does not include prizes.... and my account shows the "new" plus items instead of what I purchased.

Just got an email saying it cost to eat at Alfredo pizza now.  Under their new casual plan princess will charge 14:99 to eat at their “casual” dining options.   How can they change this after we purchased ticket….   I am missing something?

Thanks to all the responses.   We actually got the Reserve for the location of room..... M107 with the huge balcony.   I think we will try to eat breakfast and lunch (when onboard) in that section and maybe 1 or 2 nights...  I had my friends reserve for 6 people each night on the app to include us.  

Hello all, quick question on reserve collection menu.... Website says "expanded" menu options for those who are in reserve collection dining area.   What does that mean or does anyone have examples of the expanded menu?   curious because the other two couples traveling with us aren't in the reserve so won't be able to use that dining privilege.  I wanted to see what I would be missing if we all eat together in the MDR.  Thanks.

Looking forward to reading the rest of your post.  We are on the oct 7th Rome to Athens leg.

dunno - but can you get your companions to make the reservations with you as an added guest?

worth a try I guess.  I just got access before them and made specialty reservations... but since we are 6 in party, I wanted reservations everynight.   Cant do it from my app.  only says I am in reserve dining and no reservations required.

I thought you, being in reserve collection, could eat wherever you wanted. Can they not include you n their group when making reservations?

I have not asked... good question.  I would have thought I could reserve anywhere I wanted not be confined to reserve dining.

Yes!  You have all full suite perks!!  The club class, now called Reserve Collection dining was a really nice perk!  No reservations needed and we walked right in every time.  Be sure to book your complimentary specialty dining on embarkation day as well. 

We sail in Oct on Enchanted in a reserve collection room.   I dont see a way to get regular MDR reservations.... only says we go to reserve collection dining.  We are traveling with 4 companions that are in regular balcony rooms and they cant eat with us.... so I wanted to reserve tables for 6 in MDR but medallion wont let me.  Anyone had this problem before?

I am at 75 days for cruise, full payment was due and paid 3 weeks ago.  that is the only thing I see (being not eligible agency) as the reason for not being eligible to bid on Princess site

ouch

I purchased through Costco Travel and the room bidding says I'm not eligible to bid????

thank you!

Thank you so much for taking the time to enter all this.   We have been reading every post in prep for our Oct 7th Enchanted cruise.   Did you have princess prizes?  if so did you win anything .... just curious.   Food quality is good?  Which is your favorite specialty meal.   I have booked Crown and looking for a second.  Thanks agian.

One last request from future cruiser in m107.  Patter doesn’t have menus for the main dining does it?    I guess it will post on the app soon.  Curious so I can plan specialty dining around good nights.  Thanks again I appreciate all the info and pictures.  We will be there soon

Hey, we will be going on the 7-day from Rome to Athens Oct 7th and staying in the M107 cabin.  Can you tell me about the room and any motion issues with the location of the cabin?  Thank you.... and did you say they are not serving the street tacos at the salty dog.... that is a shame.  we were looking forward to it.
