Uber - Orlando - Tampa and back again

This may be true, but they quite often increase the daily rental fee if not returned to same location. -
Holiday Inn vs Hyatt Place Ft. Lauderdale
KreinKrunker replied to sailing sue's topic in Florida Departures
Have never had a problem with a Value Trip reservation. Don't be surprised if you don't hear anything from them for a week to 10 days. Once you get their confirmation you deal directly with the hotel. Meaning you can call them to check on your reservation, and you contact them to cancel. Your card is not charged until you stay. -
Holiday Inn vs Hyatt Place Ft. Lauderdale
KreinKrunker replied to sailing sue's topic in Florida Departures
Have stayed at both. Holiday Inn is about ,5 miles east of Publix. Hyatt Place is about .4 miles west, taking the shortcut. I would make my decision based on cost. -

Allocation of Plus drinks to two people on one account
KreinKrunker replied to lorri111's topic in Princess Cruises
It depends on which ship you are on. It's happened to us a few of times, mostly the first day when bartenders are so busy. They have removed the charges all but one time. That time I had 16 charges, and my wife had three. They told me to make sure to get both medallions charged next time. -
Have seen a drop box at Guest Services on some ships. The speaker (singer, entertainer, waiter, etc.) disappeared. Can you say covid. They are trying to do away with paper products. They have a tendency to blow overboard. We always run a pool to guess the earliest bag sighting the last day. Earliest was 2:30.

What if a drink's cost exceeds what's included in a package?
KreinKrunker replied to IUSteve's topic in Princess Cruises
Martinis made with some of the gins available are over $15. -
At first I thought it might be the Victoria Park Hotel, off Sunset. Victoria Park Hotel | Fort Lauderdale | North Beach Village Resort (thevictoriaparkhotel.com) After reviewing the video on the website, I'm pretty sure it's not.

April 8 2024 Solar Eclipse - Sapphire Princess
KreinKrunker replied to Gaynors's topic in Princess Cruises
I believe that I read the eclipse will be moving 1500 miles an hour. Figure out how far you will be from Hawaii to know how much earlier to start looking. The partial is from about 6:30 am till 8:00 am HST. Then you have to figure out what time zone you are in. Oh my. -

If you really want Premier, I would try to upgrade once onboard. -
Question: Solo Cruiser and Stateroom Crew Gratuity?
KreinKrunker replied to Ancon's topic in Princess Cruises
Have you seen some of those cabins with four people in them. It looks like six times the work. -
Make reservations for your party of 12 in the dining room of your choice, and the time of your choice. The app will indicate something like "various tables", instead of "private table for 12". The first night tell the Head Waiter your wishes for same tables and servers. This usually will take care of your needs. I would do this soon after the dining room opens. About a year ago, we had a Head Waiter was not too cooperative for our party of eight, although we had the same table five of the seven nights. The cruise before that we had a party of 14 and that Head Waiter went out his way to get us a table for six next to a table for eight for the whole week. We also set some guidelines for seating. You could not sit next to the same person as the night before, except for your significant other. Also, change tables once in a while.

Where To Find Plus Package Specialty Deserts
KreinKrunker replied to 4x4bob's topic in Princess Cruises
On Grand class you get them at Coffee & Cones or Scoops. Royal class the Gelato on deck 5. -
This is the advantage of having the same servers every night. It's always nice to sit down to the drink of your choice.

Not true on all ships. Ask at Guest Services.

Here's a link to the water taxi: https://watertaxi.com I don't ever remember the Sun Trolley going to the airport.

Does Princess no longer have fixed dining times?
KreinKrunker replied to edp-70's topic in Princess Cruises
Princess now has Dine MY Way, or DMW to many. You can still get that Traditional Dining experience, but it requires some effort on your part. First, book your dining time, and location using the APP. Then, once you board go to the dining room of your choice and time. Once seated ask to talk to the Head Waiter, and tell him of your wishes. This has worked well for us on 10 of 11 cruises we've taken since the start-up. The other time the Head Waiter was somewhat less cooperative. We did have the same table five of the seven nights. -
1. There are four aft elevators. The outer two go up to deck 19. The inner two go to deck 18. Hence, they all go to 18, or Skywalkers. Deck 19 is Princess Links and Center Court. 3. The bar stools are no longer fixed. They are a standard bar stool, with backs.
-
That's correct. The APP doesn't always work the way it should. We always wait until we board for our reservations. You can pay now, and get your refund once you board. Just remember that the refund will be in On Board Credit, not applied to your credit card.
-
Only 45 days until cruise. Final payment is long gone. Website says Sold-Out. There might be a slim chance getting on the waitlist. By the way, we were waitlisted about two weeks after bookings started.

May want to check this, as Princess usually sails from Brooklyn.
