  1. I haven't seen the new Sa b atini menu but we were quite UNHAPPY v with our food on the old one! We love the Crown grill! Dh says the filet there is the b est he's ever eaten! I love the lamb chops and all t h e sides You can make a res before he cruise so not hard to g e t in If your app is wonky then just call or go there the minute you get on board to make the res
  2. We always n anage to get the same table or at least t he same wait staff if we like them I would not tip the mdr manager We tip the wait staff but feel that maitre des/dining managers are "management" and don't require extra tipping Always a personal choice
  3. Coffee specialties were available at Good Spirits on Deck 5 No food just coffee drinks,hot chocolate drinks and alcohol We just got off the Diamond from a lovely Sea of Cortez Mexico cruise Izumi baths cost extra so didn't use them but Kai Sushi lunch was well worth the extra price! Fantastic fish quality!!
  4. It's not just Carnival Our Princess cruise in May also got switched I heard it has to do with an endangered sea creature We don't have excursions listed yet either Still lots of time to plan
  5. Just noticed this new labeling! Now there are Reserve mini suites with Reserve Dining Suites now also have Reserve Dining Its the same Club Class with a new name I wonder why? Thoughts?? BTW do you tip the head waiter/manager in the old Club Class? We've never noticed people doing that but saw it today for the first time
  6. In addition to the Prince Rupert change t h ey have also added scenic cruising in Glacier Bay which is great!
  7. We are seniors and are platinum at is at is myth on Carnival as,well as,Princess The longer cruises on Carnival are,not,full,of wild,partiers! That is a myth that only holds true for the short cruises We miss the dedicated comedy club on Carnival with 2 shows a night You may find one comedian or some sort of magician/comedian on Princess but not a,lot of those shows
  8. My husband doesn't even h ave a phone! Easy to do both check ins on mine with my app we have the medallions to o p en the cabin door and to find each other on board but I don't carry my phone around while sailing so don't really u se the app at all!
  9. You don't have to just accept being moved around! I would accept a new table only if the wait staff I liked still served it Speak up politely to get what you want!
  10. Weather a "couple of weeks out is not accurate at all! Best to start looking at 10 days out or less
  11. @Duanerice1Carnival,usually has a dedicated comedy club on board so,lots of stand up I don't think any other line offers that many comedy shows It's the one thing we miss most since we've been sailing Princess and now also trying Celebrity
  12. Hi We are not,aft facing people We don't like looking in that direction We do mid ship penthouse suites and love,them! We were also a bit leery of the Riviera deck but was pleasantly surprised to find there was minimal scraping noise
  13. We have stayed in both hotels within the last year Both are just fine When I look at reviews I don't just look at the rating no I read the review Sometimes people give low numbers for very weird reasons! There will be no real problem staying 1 night in either one We happen to collect Hilton pts,so stay at the Doubletree more often
  14. You just call on the phone from your cabin to book while on board You CAN book on the app Go to dine my way Click on book individual daily reservations Click in a day Scroll down to see specialty dining possibilities and choose one Then choose the time you wish to dine
  15. No, definitely not at 60 days! More like 15 days
  16. You can book w h enever they show up as available if you have obc that can be used to pay also
  17. The question is not do cruisers tip but is if tipping I s the custom in Italy Tipping is NOT customary in Europe Of course you can offer it but most locals don't do it so up to you if you want to bfollow local custom or not Typically you can round up to the nearest amount
  18. "Best" depends on your own interests I'd do wine tasting in Ensenada and the tour to see,the Buffalo on Catalina
  19. No problem with our beds on Princess! BEST filet my husband has ever had anywhere found in the Crown Grill! I truly don't understand c all these complaints!
  20. Not sure you are correct Scott? I am sure I've had my morning coffee in the room there like most hotels of that level!
  21. I just go to the computer area an print my boarding pass Not sure why someone needs to do it for you?
  22. We have so far done 3 cruises since covid and the app Although we picked arrival times for each cruise NOONE at the ports asked to see that Don't worry about it too much
  23. I am confused? I thought AON was an insurance company If you bought trip insurance with them then you can talk to them directly If you didn't buy a policy with them then I wonder how you can collect from them?? What am I missing?
  24. Aah If a crew member then more understandable!
