Recently one of our members posted photos of the dispensers in their cabin. There was mold growing at the bottom of each one. The dispensers are not cleaned, just refilled. Please bring your own products!

We always take our own bath products, hand wash and shampoo/conditioner. Beekman 1802 is great stuff, but still not available fleet wide. Their other stuff smells and feels like Dollar Store junk. No thank you.

Last week in Ontario it was 40 Celsius with the humidity, approximately 108 Fahrenheit, and it was brutal. Much hotter than Florida. More like Nevada.

Yes! I wish I was there right now. We also ate something, but I forget what it was. I’m sure it was delicious!

I love Pancho’s Backyard! Last time there I had a strawberry Margarita the size of a bucket and skipped down the street in the rain to hail a cab. It was fabulous!

Do you have a question or a story you’d like to share with us? Do you have any cruises booked or are just looking at future possibilities? We’d be happy to have a conversation with you!

As a Canadian, I thank you for recognizing the obvious. The east coast of Canada and the US is quite lovely. Looking forward to our sailing in August on Enchanted. Honestly, the least romantic place is the Caribbean.

We’re sailing on the cruise one week prior on August 24th. It’s almost sold out, just a few balconies left. This later one still has tons of availability. Kinda glad we chose the earlier sailing. Nothing against the cast, but it’s not something we would have any interest in.

I was just going to chime in with the same response when I read your post. Of course, you are correct. I was a little surprised that more members didn’t know that. I guess it’s the “meta” that gets people stymied. Thank you for clarifying.

Thanks for letting us know! Unfortunately, this smoking issue is not going to be resolved in the near future. I can just stay away from the casino…..their loss. How nice you had a great week with your son and grandchild. Really, that’s all the matters, isn’t it. Spending precious time with our family is priceless.

Of course it was and yes it will be.

Good question.

Canadian here and I’m the OP, so yes everyone got it.

Good question. I’m sure Princess would have to disclose this in the booking process.

I just received an email stating that Princess Cruiseline pricing will be all inclusive as of July 1st. Thoughts?

We sailed on HAL Rotterdam last year and there is a small non smoking portion of the casino. Not perfect, but considerably better.

I wonder, is it because Princess attracts more smokers because of their policy or do the non smokers not mind breathing in second hand smoke and smelling like a dirty ashtray because they need to gamble? I love to gamble, but you would not get me near a Princess casino. I’m forced to sail with Celebrity if I want to visit a casino.

Honestly, not surprising.

Blackberry Cars is also very good.

All my reservations are still there exactly as booked for our August sailing on Enchanted. I was getting a bit nervous, but so far so good.

Very clever, thank you! Now I can’t get that darn song out of my mind. lol

Yes! OMG I hate it!

Welcome to cruise critic! As per Princess website description of the Zero Alcohol Package, non-alcoholic beer is not covered in the package and is actually priced the same as regular beer. Sorry.

Yes, I knew you quit a few years ago and I am very impressed. Not an easy thing to do. I disagree on the indoor smoking, though. There should be outdoor covered areas that are comfortable and welcoming, not just an ashtray on a table. These areas would keep guests out of the rain and the sun. Now, if you’re talking about a major storm with the doors locked, then these guests will just have to get out their willpower. Not the worst thing in the world. I hate to mention that other cruiseline, but you would be impressed with their outdoor smoking areas. Comfy sofas and chairs, lots of coffee tables and ash trays that are emptied and cleaned constantly. Totally covered and next to large windows. Smokers love it! So, it can be done. Princess take note.
