You have all the full suite benifits  The coffee table in front of the sofa is your only table  Not really condusive to eating full dinners  but you do get club class dining and suite breakfast in specialty restaurant

I am also cruising  with Princess out of San Diego for the first time I reserved parking at Parkway Parking for 10.00 a day  They are about 2 1/2 miles from the port and provide free shuttle service back and forth.  Last month I parked in Long Beach for a carnival cruise and it was 23.00 a day!

I'm headed out solo for the first time and am also in Club Class.  Do you recall if there were "shared tables" there? Do you remember if it's possible to eat there for lunch on embarkation day? Thanks!

Yes they served lunch on embarkation day, I do not know the answer about shared tables...sorry

This gives you one specialty dinner only.  You can book on board without any issues I have found in the past

I also booked business class  to Florida and from Barcelona in March for my TA and received both First and Business class flights for different legs of the trip

We were on the Majestic Dec 11-18 in B735. A couple days into the cruise, we got a note saying that the ship's maintenance wanted to have access to install the safety lights next to our bed, at the bottom of the night stands. They are motion activated. 10 minutes into the night the light came on. I use a cpap and the hose set off the sensor. I started putting a pillow in front of the motion sensor for the rest of the cruise. Maybe more thought should have been put into those lights. 😄

 

 

 

 

 

I thought the one in the dressing area was a tad too bright, but the ones under the nightstands and fridge were perfect for me. They didn't last as long as the dressing area one and were not obtrusive to me at all!  My bed at home has lights under it but uses a switch on the remote control to turn on and off for the same effect when getting up to use the facilities

I was on this cruise also. Club class dining had fantastic service, Mary and Fatima were both  wonderful servers.  The only disappointment was the money I lost in the casino....lol   Seriously,  I loved the ship, crew and festive decorations

On my upcoming 14 day cruise the upgrade is an additional 140.00 for 4 devices.  I do not know if any additional discount is given in OBC once aboard

I booked my Australia  10 day cruise for March 22,2023 months ago.  Perhaps its just the world cruise  2024 that is opening on Dec 1st?

Also sailing on 11/07/21  and was really looking forward to seeing Jersey Boys!  Major dissapointed if its not happening ......

Yes it includes all specialty coffees, bottled water, soda. juices etc..  Much better than NCL when you book theirs

Emerald deck 101 thru 110 have large balconies  Obstructed because solid railings not glass  Huge balconies.

We had the concierge lounge on the Royal in Dec 2019.  It was great.....   Besides the happy hour, it included great food to nosh  on and a fantastic coffee machine to make specialty coffees. The host would make your specialty reservations for you .. It was located across from the wedding chapel, and you had a card to swipe to gain admittance   

We are also doing a T A  but in  March ......  Can't wait...

I hope not as we have 1 day between two cruises in June;    Different ships different ports same line

I did talk to multiple people at NCL and any sanctions or requirements are set to expire in October but no one knows if they will be implemented after that.  By June you should be fine. 

Are there any special planning or requirements when only 12 days between cruises?  I'm disembarking off a 4 day get a way cruise on Princess (that stops in Ensenada) on October 27th  and boarding the Bliss on November 7th.  Since both are to Mexico any special procedures necessary?  I don't have to get off in Ensenada if it breaks any rules about prior traveling to foreign ports.  I've read when traveling to different countries and only having a day or so between sailings it may cause a problem.  Thanks in advance...... 

The pluses of staying with Princess far outweigh the negatives of losing a few perks.  Service, pricing,stacking credits for OBC far outweigh the loyalty credit I am giving up and 5.00 a day for unlimited wi fi is actually better than the old system.  Plus when you book with Princess Plus its a moot point.  I currently have 5 cruises on the books with Princess and 1 with NCL.  BTW, when you are finalizing an inclusive booking with NCL, you get charged the taxes on the "included" drink pkg,wi-fi,and specialty dining amounting to hundreds of dollars. With Princess you don't!

Sigh... Still working on getting the record from the state. Your post is not that encouraging as far as it actually being any advantage to have that info.

myvaccinerecord.caph.ca.gov

California has an app to download your information with your vaccination information to scan for your phone.  I'm sure other states will follow  myvaccinerecord.cdph.gov  

Yes they do I have stayed in these cabins

If you book 1000 people, only 50 could be non-vaccinated to stay at 95% vaccinated. 

Thanks....I thought my percentage differed by 50 also!  lol

So glad its been confirmed Royal is back!  Now we only have to wait another year till sailing begins!

Yes, I had a Cruise on May 1st canceled, so I rebooked the exact cruise on the same ship, same cabin only 3 months later and saved over $600.00 plus got some OBC and specialty dinner to boot!

No

I received an e mail from my friend who has a home in Cabo and she included an article from the local "Gringo"paper that named  2 smaller ships and Norwegian as coming back in November/December this year....  I'm booked on Dec 15th to go and hope we do sail.  First positive news after 3 canceled cruises this year!....Fingers crossed!!!!!!
