Oh boy! They really are pulling out all the stops at once. I think it's different if things slowly got integrated in versus surprise everything in one shot. One can also look at it it's almost kind of like ripping a Band-Aid off too at this point. For some reason I feel like when the app initially came out it used to be $3 for one of those full pizzas and I want to say recently cuz I always just like to browse not that I ever do anything with it that they were probably $8.50 on the sky recently. I'll have to report back what it says a pizza cost on the Discovery tomorrow.

WOW! That's amazing! I wonder if that's only available through the app if the ship does not have a physical Alfredo / Gigi's on board. I'm extremely impressed by this by the way. Thank you so much for sharing!

Which ship was that that started offering a full pizza on the oceano app for free? I've only ever seen it with a fee on a few of the princess ships.

That's really sad. Nothing for nothing though, those captain circle events are not what they used to be. I remember years and years ago when I would attend, a lot of times they would talk about not just about thanking you for your loyalty, but also about the new ships that were to come out amongst other things. I went to the first few in my early cruising days. Up to this point, I haven't been to one in years.

As i look at the current statistics here on my poll, it's showing its pretty much 50 / 50 between standard and plus. So the whole hoopla of them pushing for people (especially the standard people) to upgrade to an actual package That's not going to happen, as the second poll shows that most people are content with the package that they have always gotten and, have no intentions of changing the package they have bought in the past. It's also very interesting to see the number of people who actually plan on downgrading the package that they would typically get. Also between this thread, and the mega thread of all the talk on the changes... there seems to be quite a vast majority of guests who really just don't drink alcohol, mocktails, soda, coffee, or drink enough to justify the need or cost of a package. This brings zero value to them to, let's say upgrading to at least the plus package. In my personal, honest opinion: I truly believe that this sales tactic to push people to buy packages or upgrade their packages is going to backfire. In fact it's putting a terribly sour taste into people's mouths In regards to how the company is going about with all this.

I know it's a random question on this thread but I'm curious to know those who have cruised with the casino comp Cruises Are you guys automatically given the plus package? Or do they give you a standard fare and you can upgrade the plus? There is a reason to my madness on why I'm asking this question.

The loyalty OBC! Free wifi

Yes could not agree with you anymore when it comes to her attitude and the way her tone of voice comes off! She just sounds fake and phony to me. Sell! Sell! Sell!

Because they don't even the answers, as they don't even know what they are doing. They are literally making this all up as they go along.

Insert the laugh track 🤣 I personally find Carmen a joke, as I have not been a fan of her since prompted to this position.

Yes!! On the laundry. Even when I was recently on the sky, I kids you not, it was 12hr turnaround! Such an incredibly beautiful thing!

Yes! I'm always a shoe in on Alaskan sailings for Most Traveled Luncheon being in the #1 spot at most times. Whereas Caribbean sailings I'm back to being a peon. 😂

I find on the Alaskan sailings there tends to be an extremely large number of first time Princess cruisers, first time cruisers in general, as well as many many families.

Shhh. Bite your tongue. 😂

For breakfast hours the Almond Croissants are to die for!!!! They do breakfast, and I wanna say around 11am they switch over to lunch items. It's complementary and available 24hrs a day. Lots great yummiea to be found from savory to sweets.

Of course! Awe. Thank you so much 😊

Not wasn't. Gos restaurant onboard I think 2 of the ships Ruby and I want to say Emerald, bombed. People disliked the communal table setups, and the said the price was too high. I had friends who were matri'ds food advise me to skip the restaurant shared as to food really wasn't all that great.

Absolutely! Yes I was planning on it. I'll be onboard the Discovery for 2 weeks. I head out tomorrow to Seattle, and join the ship Sunday. So stay tuned.

I can't wait to join the ship this Sunday. I will be picking the brains of a few people who I am very friendly with how are higher ups onboard. I also want to be surprised if they don't find out until closer to the start date that their ship will be implementing these. A lot of times these crew are some of the last to know.

I know you were joking. Our sarcasm matches beautifully. 😁

As mentioned earlier, doubtful anyone from corporate is reading this as they don't care to hear from passengers anyways just like their surveys.

Yes, That's pretty much the only changes for us standard people.

Considering how much people pay to stay in those suites, it's so silly not to give them such a cheap simple benefit. Wonder if they will start charging for and labeling the suite breakfast as a casual dining experience with a fee??? I'm starting now to get worried about the $5 fee to deliver her Elite benefits of the mini bar set up if we want to switch things out, as well as complimentary afternoon tea in the cabin. I could see them saying the items are complimentary but delivery service will remain $5. In that case I feel like asking them, that's fine where should I go to pick it up myself if that's the case.

So if I read that correctly that's sweet guest now do have to pay that $5 RS charge if they are standard? WOW! That's terrible!!!!

Which now the speech has shortened to less than 10 seconds since the benefits are almost all gone. 😂
