It's a clip and it ships with the Medallion.

Everything included in the package has crew appreciation (i.e., gratuities) included. Other items will have gratuities added (e.g., if you buy a drink that is more than the $15 Princess Plus limit, you will be charged the amount over $15 plus an 18% gratuity on top of that).

To fill in some details. I'm a magician and a member of the Magic Castle in Hollywood. The Castle is a private club that requires an invitation from a member for entry. You are correct, guests who are not accompanied by a member must have a dinner reservation and purchase at least one entree. From what I've read, the drinks on board the Sun Princess bear no relation to the drinks at the Magic Castle (the bars and dining room do have a small mocktail menu). I've been to the 360 restaurant and the Chef's Table on the Discovery Princess and in each case, you can get mocktails instead of alcohol. However, the price for those experiences is not lowered due to the lack of alcoholic drinks. I imagine it will be the same for Spellbound.

When I was on the Discovery Princess in October, there were three somms on board.

The Journey view doesn't start populating until about a month before. Even then, not all days or events populate at once.

On my cruise on the Discovery to Mexico last month I ordered a different wine for each course when I ordered my meal and they were all brought at the right time.

Thank you very much.

This brings up a question I've been wondering about. If you pay the $20 corkage on embarkation, do you pay it a second time if you drink it in a restaurant?

Absolutely.

I ate at the Chef's Table Lumiere on the Discovery Princess last month. It included a galley tour for the 12 of us.

I get Princess Premier which includes OceanNow and tipping. My favorite is to sit down at trivia and order Champagne and sushi (Champagne is included, sushi is $12). Fifteen minutes later, they deliver it to my table.

I was on Discovery Princess recently (October and January). The January cruise was your itinerary. I enjoyed the ship both times. It is not a party ship but it does have a lot of things going on (so you should find something to interest you). I hadn't been to any of the ports so I booked an excursion in each one. I enjoyed each excursion but I especially liked horseback riding on the beach in Cabo San Lucas. On board I ate at two of the specialty restaurants as I had Princess Premier and any two of the three restaurants were included. I recommend all three of them but my favorite was The Catch by Rudi. It was the best. I also ate at 360 and the Chef's Table Lumiere. They were both very expensive but worth it (especially 360). The musicals in the Princess Theater were fine but I wish Rock Opera had a plot. I especially liked the cruise magician, Elliott Hunter. He performed a stage show in the Princess Theater and a close-up show in the Vista Lounge; both were great (and I see magicians all the time at the Magic Castle). I found the crew to be first rate and have no complaints at all. Several of them remembered me from my October cruise. I also found the ship photography to be excellent (digital downloads of all the photos and printing three 8x10s is included in the Princess Premiere package). One of the photos turned out so good I'm going to use it as my head shot. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.

Yes, you can use of the app on board whether or not you have Wi-Fi.

The only place they use facial recognition is to tie your Princess photos back to your account so you can see all your photos.

I can replace my polident. Now, if they stole my false teeth...
