AF-1

I carried a case of cherry coke in luggage. put a baggage tag on and it was delivered to stateroom

Didn’t notice anything in terms of feeling, but the 10% loss in speed meant altered port times which were communicated by Princess in an email before sailing.

Thanks

Wow, great review with pics. Thanks for taking the time to post all the great photos. Did you notice any real difference with speed; you mentioned the ship travels 2 knots slower than before. Thanks

Parmesan basket?????:cool:

How did you get that????

I had the parmesan basket in July; so it is still available

wow, six months out and they changed the itinerary. I am sailing Caribbean Princess in Feb 2019. I guess my itinerary will be changed too. Oh well; wait and see

who is the current cruise director? I had Cory in July

When will the Ocean Medallion be available or is it still a work in progress? I don't sail until Feb 2019

Well we reserved seats for the concert in the first row mezzanine level; which will allow for my sis in laws walker and it gives us all more leg room. Thanks everyone and Merry Christmas

Yup our b2b cruise in August was just changed for the 4th time. 1st to take off grand turk and put on amber cove, then take amber cove off and make it a sea day, then removed belize for costa maya and now changed times on 1st leg...oh yeah and dropped the medallion as well. Princess needs 2 get their act together as it even has me a platinum member rethinking them. Then cancelled my excursion and didn't bother to send me an email. Claims it was sent to ta...i asked why he doesn't book them i do.

wow you sure have had the changes. Hope you have better luck with your cruise. Merry Christmas

Thanks for posting. Love the calmness of the day or morning; Nice Christmas decorations. Have a great day

Thanks for posting your info; always enjoy the wealth of knowledge on these boards; plus its nice when the hosts chime in every now and then.

We had two teens with us this past July. They wore jeans and shorts most days. For dinner they wore jeans or semidress pants and long sleeve shirts

Thrak, I do see the placards; thanks for this info.

Do a Google search for pictures of the theater. Several images available that give an idea of the seating. It looks like the first row behind the railing is mezzanine where the few people are seated. I think that is where we will be

 

Thanks all, Concerts At Sea just uses the ship; not complete ship. If you want to cruise Princess you can during the week; Concerts at Sea has the theater and several lounges reserved during the cruise to have private concerts, or meet and greets and autograph signing. The reserved seats are for the more expensive package; and we will be buying one of the packages with reserved seating mainly because my sister in law has a walker and we don't want to have to sit all the way in the back in handicap seating;; nor do we want the front row. My wife and I have been on Emerald and the front row is too close to stage and you have to look up to see all the acts. Mezzanine is our first choice since we will be in 1st row; which will give us extra leg room for my sil's walker.

Hello everyone, I am booking a Concerts at Sea cruise with music groups from the 60's. My question to all you experts is this. The promoter offers several seating packages and I am not sure which area they are talking about. One seat area is 1st row Balcony Seating; the other area is reserved seating mezzanine level between the orchestra and balcony levels. Does anyone have a seating diagram or can someone tell me the difference between these options? Their is a price difference with the seating. Thanks for any feedback you can give me.

Used club class on Emerald in July. Four in our group. Lunch was under an hour. Dinner was around an hour. When we docked in Victoria, BC Club Class expedited everyone because of the short shore excursion time.

Good to know that USAA has travel insurance

click on this link and it tells you about specialty dining on embarkation night. All the suite benefits available to persons who book a full suite

I walked down to Crown Grill when I boarded; I booked my dinner reservation in about five minutes. This is where we had breakfast every morning.

you miss just by inches and end up with that much damage

Hello was in a suite on July sailing.

1. Dress code; very casual. shorts, slacks, tee shirt are all ok

2. Specialty dinner: I called dine line from suite; no one answered; so went down and made own time slot. Mait're D will be in restaurant when you board and will take a reservation time for you.

3. As mentioned above tell your room steward if you want to swap out one mini bar for coffee card. Ours contacted room service and they swapped it out

I fly thru Detroit a lot. 50 minutes is ok. You will be flying in summer so weather should not be a major concern. If you are on Delta most likely you will fly into terminal A; but you could go to MSP in Terminal B/C. You take a underground moving walkway to get from A-B. If you only have hand luggage you should make it

I was on cruise in July out of pier 91. Taxi charge was flat rate $40 from pier to airport; hope this helps. I know you wanted info on getting to port.

I think all the wait staff in the dining room were wonderful. Hard working; overworked; but managed a smile and kept things moving at a good pace. Never waited long for food or drink.

Let us know how your weather is and also let us know how you enjoyed all your suite perks
