  1. yep, nickel and diming for sure. Nobody from there has called her since October of last year (maybe November. ) she did call you back in October and spoke with you for a couple minutes and then you had to cut her off because you were at a meeting, and said you would call her back and she waited and the call never came She felt very hurt by that. it took a lot for her to place a phone call especially with all she’s been through Bonnie hasn’t called since July 2022. I can see who’s calling and who’s not she does not know how to dial out on Her own. she has had a couple more strokes.
  2. Wrong. I priced it out today and because Virgin includes gratuities, wifi, bar credit of $600 incentive, plus extra bar credit for booking as (Princess Elite) two discounts, (one for paying upfront) plus No up charges for exceptional quality of food, and a much better party vibe and level of entertainment , it’s a much better deal for us. Better itinerary too. I’m well aware of high-end luxury prices gor those other lines. We won’t have any issues meeting our cruising financial obligations, but thanks for your concern.
  3. Thank you, @Coral Much appreciated. Dana
  4. Some things are personal. Do you want to hear all about the cancer or the stroke? See post #23.
  5. You’re quite the curious one. Let’s just say, it’s medically related and one needs my full time care. so yeah, when we can cruise again one day, we’re gonna do it up big, because tomorrow is never promised.
  6. Same here. Once we can cruise again, we plan on sailing with Virgin Voyages, Oceania, and Silver Sea. On Virgin the food looks spectacular and everything is included. No upcharge venues. And all adults, an added benefit. 😊
  7. So Princess’s solution is to charge $15 pp to thwart long lines? With this logic, next they will be charging us to eat at the Buffet. Yeah, no.
  8. No snacking, and Husband still sitting in HIS lounger. Wouldn’t want some other woman with a more desirable bod than mine taking MY lounger if I am a slow walker and get back at 32 minutes ! 😀
  9. So if I forgot my sunscreen and have to leave the pool to go back to the cabin to retrieve sunscreen, should I lose my lounge chair?
  10. That sounds interesting. I will look at that itinerary for fun, even though we’re not going to book anything. yep, our cats run the show! LOL
  11. 22-day to where? re: cats, I know the feeling. We’re in the same boat.
  12. Maybe it’s time for Princess to do what Royal Caribbean does, make you check out pool towels, and if you don’t return them you will be billed for them. It would certainly cut down on chair saving, as one person wouldn’t be allowed to take numerous towels and save multiple chairs for their group.
  13. Now-now, that Poster has only responded 175 times, thus far, 1 out of 9,5 times. LOL
  14. Wondering if the 14.99 medallion activation fee will be a one-time charge per entire cruise, or per cruise segment on back-to-backs ?
  15. WHAT??? I was so focused on the Alfredo thing, I missed the boat (no pun intended) about an initiation fee of $15 to activate that thing to get a drink??? LOLOL LOL LOL LOL O M G
  16. I couldn’t have said it better myself. This is where we’re at, too. We have a lot of credit on the books with Princess and at this point I’m willing to let it go. Within the next year or so my husband will retire, and we were looking forward to a future of longer cruises, 30-60+ days, but instead we will most likely go on shorter, high-end cruises, on small ships.
  17. It’s obvious they couldn’t care less. But what corporate needs to know is catering to an older princess demographic, we are not the ones likely to buy their stupid packages. Yeah yeah I know we’re all gonna die off only to be supplanted by a younger group who they think will buy all these packages but that younger group will also age out eventually. as I indicated earlier, I don’t care at this point they can start charging $100 per person in a specialty restaurant because we’re done
  18. Anybody else remember when they tried to Charge $10 pp to eat at Alfredo’s back when the Royal was brand new? It included one glass of wine, but everybody was so upset with the surcharge that Princess had to rescind the fee within a week or two, and go back to the old way of complementary dining. my interpretation is they will try to charge $14.99 to dine at Alfredo’s and if that’s the case we’re done with Princess. we’re not big drinkers and would not be inclined to pay for the plus package, whittled away our hard earned benefits, , yes, i get that they lost tons of money during the shut down and that they need to look at other ways of creating revenue but having to pay for specialty desserts, and now what was formerly free , it’s just not going over well with me. And now I’m hearing that it cost five dollars for room service, too? I prefer they just jack up the price of the fare for everyone and pretend like everything’s included for free. I realize that it is a business and they need to make money, but we customers also have our personal limits. Lately, the princess press releases are all starting to read like some thing from The Onion.
  19. Yikes!! You mean non Reserve Class just thought that they’d seat themselves in your section, OR they pushed past hostess to seat themselves in regular section? At any rate, wow, just wow!
  20. Uh-oh, those recessed balconies will make for poor sight lines.
  21. I need a foot stool. I hope they don’t remove footstools from Caribe deck and all larger balconies. Otherwise, I will be bringing a blow-up beach ball onboard to use as a foot stool (when I get to cruise again one day)
  22. It doesn’t appeal “to me.” I have never cared for fruit - chocolate mixtures, and the red color is off putting. Mayonnaise is all the rage, too, but I refuse to eat it.
