Need tipping? Not sure what they get paid, but generally they expect tipping.

Yes

And that is why. How can it possibly be inclusive if it's not.

3mbs is enough to stream. Was on the Regal twice this year in the Caribbean and internet was fine. Your issue is location.

The want to hear your thoughts, they just don't want to address your thoughts.

Not at all. You would have a point if you could order from the MDR menu, but it's different food. What's the harm in having one MDR designed smart casual on formal nights. It would keep people who ignore the dress rules from upsetting those who follow them, since the cruise lines won't enforce them. Seems simple enough to me. What's the downside?

I agree with. Try lots of beers, and other drinks. If you don't like one, put it down and get another.

🙂 In your image, the plug on top I use for the European plug for the lamp, or as you say 2 prong adapter, and you could plug your US plug in the back one and use the ground. At least that is how I do it.

I have the same as above and works well, although you might take a spare as I had one fall apart, I think from the weight of having the lamp plugged back into the top, and then my adapter plugged into the US power of it, just the weight of it caused it to fail after about 4 cruises. I now take a spare with me.

Seems like the majority of complaints are either food related, which is highly subjective, or just pricing in general (cruise fare, packages, nickel and diming, $1 veggies, etc). Some of that you can avoid if it bothers you. I know I do. I like reading opinions and reviews and comments, but I also take some of it with a grain of salt. I think the days of mainstream cruise lines being considered a "luxury" experience are well over and people need to recognize that has happened.

We were on Infinity last year and had a great time for it being a smaller ship, but it only had like 800 passengers too. Sorry you had a poor time.

I hope for others to chime in. I've had basic wifi on Celebrity once and it was barely usable for anything other than reading email, wouldn't even download pictures. I would expect you would need premium to make wifi calls. Princess only has one wifi I think, so they don't segregate between basic and premium.

Wouldn't a simple solution for the dress code problem be to have dining rooms that adhere to things like Chic/Formal nights and those that don't? That way everyone gets what they want.

I think people are going to have to vote with their wallets to get things to change. Currently cutbacks are occurring across all major cruise lines. Benefits to loyal passengers are being removed or changed, quality of food and choices are degraded, but ships are sailing full, and until that changes, paying more isn't going to get you a better experience.

Is this person on the ship regularly?

Premium wifi is supposed to let you stream, so I hope to watch ball games, Netflix, etc on my device and I'll be at PS complaining if I can't and getting a bunch of money back.

It's very expensive, even on sale.

In fairness to his first complaint, the Caribbean Princess is 19 years old, so he should have known that before he boarded. I'm normally a Princess cruiser, but on Equinox soon. Food is subjective. I'm not fussy, can always find something to eat, but food quality is down from years ago. No one should be surprised by that at this point. There are still lots of options to enjoy on most any ship.

Or 19 😀

Well, they just set our game time for 7pm either SECN or ESPN. I wonder if while leaving FLL you get regular ESPN or SECN on the ship or if I'm going to have to hope I can stream it on my phone or computer.

Well said. eliminating the ability to get coffee for the mini bar swap still makes me mad because now I have to pay about $70 per cruise for something I used to could trade for, but now resign myself to about $10 worth of soda. It is what it is though, and you have to make the best of it.

For us, not so much ballgames, but we cruise different than most. Also, seems to me espn in the Caribbean is mostly soccer or cricket. We both work, long hours in stressful environments and we use cruises mostly just to hang out and chill. Don't go to MDR or specialty dining, rarely do excursions or other shipboard entertainment, maybe a comedian or something. Basically our day, at least when the weather cooperates, is hang out by the pool, shop around ports, then go eat a leisurely dinner, maybe walk around a bit, and go back to the room and watch TV. That's why I bought premium (kills my soul) so we could stream stuff. On Princess it's not needed because they have a large selection of on demand stuff to watch.

I think it's safe to assume regular price increases will continue till they see a noticeable decline in purchases.

I bought it during a "sale". Still outrageously priced.

Well, I think if you are trying to cast from your phone to the TV you have to be on wifi to do that because the TV is on wifi. Now, I have premium, which I loathe what I had to pay just for internet, but I did swallow and purchase it, but I'm also taking a computer and a HDMI cable. If you are taking a device with a HDMI port, you probably could take the cable and connect to the TV and then display your downloads on the TV. I mean that should work, if Celebrity allows you to change the input on the TV, which I'm not sure about, but I'm taking a cable to see. Perhaps others who have done this can comment.
