We will be in aqua in a couple of weeks. Did u ask your steward for a bottle of wine upon boarding? I read that one needs to request it in aqua class. Also, how many exercise classes were included? Was dining in the aqua restaurant easy? We are unable to make reservations. Are they even needed? Thanks in advance.

We had been on the Sky for one month prior to the pandemic. The food was lovely. We were excited to cruise her again several months ago. Oh my...the food was horrendous🤯. We almost dreaded every dinner.

Over the past year, we have cruised on both Princess and Celebrity. Food quality and selection have declined on both lines since the pandemic. Doubt we will ever return to Princess...it was that bad. Giving Celebrity another try in June. We have to remind ourselves that we don't cruise just for the food.

What is included in room service breakfast?

The first time on the Equinox was wonderful. A few months later...on the Infinity...it was a disaster. There were too many diners for the staff to handle.

For us the biggest reason for Blu is to avoid the main dining room at all costs. We were recently on the equinox and the infinity. Their MDRs are food halls...not dining rooms. Noisy and crowded and not for us anymore. So we need to pay up for some order and serenity.

As a benefit of booking aqua class, guests are offered an expanded room service breakfast menu...is there now a charge?? Hard to believe...but anything is possible.

Sorry for the typo..no...elite is it. Btw, we were told (who knows if it is true) that the chef on our November sailing would be leaving in a few weeks. So...there's hope that things will be better.

We had been on the Sky for one month 3 years ago...the inaugural sailing. We sailed her again in mid November. All in all..it was not the "homecoming" we expected. The food... especially in the main dining room was pretty bad. There was not one meal that was memorable. Gone were the gorgeous desserts. Meats were tough...fish dried out. As elite plus we won't be sailing princess again for a long time. We relaxed, enjoyed being on the ocean...but we can do that on other lines. Oh...and then we got Covid. Not good.

Nothing like stressing over a cruise...

Thank you. So..when they ask for passports at the port...we just show the other documents? Or do we have to make prior arrangement?

I signed up for status alerts. 🤞 Wonder if they don't come what we can do.

Thanks. Says in process. Nothing more.

We have a Caribbean cruise from Florida coming up mid November. We sent our passports in for renewal. After mailing them we realized we were cutting it close and may not get them back in time. Anyone know if we can sail with other docs.

The biggest problem we had on the Infinity was the cabin. There were continuous motor sounds coming from the ceiling. The air con never went off..and there was, in addition, another motor sound too. It could not be fixed. We toughed it out for the 7 nights. We have cruised over 50 times and have never encountered this before. Last time on this ship for sure. It was cabin 6109.

No converters needed.

Has anyone used a collapsible walker or transit chair getting on a tender? We will be going to Belize and wonder if it's possible. Are there enough employees to help?

Another Warning balcony cabin 6109 on the Infinity. August 6 thru 13 sailing. Constant overhead motor noises. Never shut off...ever...day and night..whether the door was open or closed. Probably a combination of air con and another motor in the ceiling. Brutal. Never had anything like this in over 50 cruises. Couldn't wait for the cruise to end. Maintenance could never fix...and doubt they ever will. So 😭.

Thanks. It was so awful just clouded the entire cruise

We just returned from the August 6th sailing and endured cabin 6109 for the 7 nights. It is a large accessible balcony cabin mid ship. The problem was it had a continuous motor sound coming out of the ceiling. Housekeeping and Engineering came to the cabin and heard the constant noise. Some remedies were tried but nothing worked. The cabin was never quiet, the air con never stopped and there was an additional motor sound that was undetermined. Question is...has anyone else ever experienced something similar? There was no cabin for us to change to Truthfully, we have cruised many times and never encountered this problem.

On right now. It's our 5th time over the years. Things look ok..there's rust here and there..but the big problem is staffing. This is all over the travel industry. The dining room food is fine...nothing fabulous...the same old menus on most of the ships. You really need to be on the Edge or the other newer ships to see a big improvement/change.

We are on the Infinity right now. Save your money on le Petite Chef. It is great is when there are just a few guests. We tried it again on this cruise as we loved it in the past...it was awful. They were understaffed and the amount of guests were too many for this type of venue.

Thanks. We just eat cooked...not raw...do you think there's enough selection?

Oh that's great. Is the 35 doable for dinner there??

If one purchases the three specialty restaurant package, is Sushi on Five included? We see it is ala carte...so how does that work??? Any one know???
