The new mattresses are WONDERFUL, (and I know what I'm talking about as I own a mattress store. lol)

yes, you can get it through room service or can go to vines and get more choices. Just tell them you want it for later, room steward can bring opener if you need one. Also you are allowed to bring one bottle per person when you board, and extra if you wish with a $15.00 surcharge per bottle above the allowed one.

I'm guessing he forgot to put a title for his thread....and whenever that happens on this site' date=' your screen name gets put as the title (happens most often with first time posters). Some forum websites will make you put a title subject first.[/quote']

 

Not sure this is the case here as its misspelled with a M instead of a N... (like someone typed in a hurry)

E731 is our favorite cabin on the Crown. We've had this cabin twice.

Also E731 is my first choice, E730 my second. Never a problem from the club below for noise on whichever ship I was on. Just had E730 on the Ruby to Alaska in May and loved using the extra large balcony with the wake views thrown in....

Does that mean if you cancel for any reason you can trade your cruise credits for cash instead of applying them to another cruise? I have never had to cancel, but I'm having a hard time making sense of this.

 

The rep told me the credits could not be insured, but she never said that I could get cash instead. What is the procedure for doing that?

Are you referring to a Future Cruise Deposit you bought or a cruise credit you were given?

I did an inside once about 30 yrs ago and again about 20 yrs ago, all other have been balconies,minis or suites. When I book the Royal or Regal I have decided to try an inside again (and unless I have to get a balcony like on my upcoming 10 day Baja in 2018 for the all inclusive,) I will try an OV.

Also received it along with the new Circle Magazine yesterday...Spent an enjoyable morning going through it with my coffee today!

I've never seen it offered. Not sure if you bring it on if you are limited to one per adult as regular wine. Perhaps someone on here has personal experience?

There are quite a few bars within walking distance of the ship or you can take the ships transportation to downtown. Be aware the locals are very aggressive to get you to check out their stores as you walk by. Also a lot of begging on the streets. That said, you can have a great time in the downtown area enjoying your margarita. There are 2 very famous bar/restaurants there, one chain claims to be where the margarita was invented. I can't for the life of me remember the names of the 2nd one but Pappas and Beers (?) is one I believe

If the kids are having fun and are happy....You will enjoy your cruise. So I would stick with Royal!

Hard to find fault with Princess on this complaint. They are trying to fill a ship leaving next month, its only a one day so it really isn't a big deal for the amount of time you will use cabin and when you booked it you thought the price was fair. (AND)you are getting a cruise credit for just one day!

If you go to the reviews section in the header, click on it for excursion reviews, then to whatever port you can get a lot of info

Tipping room service is optional!

As are good manners, but so much nicer!

As a rule RC has more geared for for children. However at age 2, I'm not sure it would make a difference, the 5 yr old would enjoy the parades. The kids club on Princess is very good, but depends on the sailing as to number of children's activities planned.

I too watched the the video. The ship is very nicely appointed. This is too bad as I'm sure everyone realizes that after about a month of inaugural cruises it is committed to the Chinese market for charter only for 2 years.

Agree, but they are pretty much assured of making a profit then with that huge market to draw from. Maybe the next one will not go there!

Great cabin location. Glass rails, nice tub in bathroom,2 tvs,sofa and yes a fridge...

Yes and they are all wonderful to enjoy!

I have seen plenty of ladies wearing what you described. It's not wrong and its YOUR vacation! Enjoy yourself in what you are comfortable in!

I should have said the Royal Princess Ship.:)

Gotcha !! I love the loyalty program's gift of OBC every cruise! Enjoy your upcoming cruise/cruises....

If you are talking about Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the seas, I'm not sure if their loyalty program is the same as Princess.

It can't be done for proper service to be given to all passengers. As stated above, if everyone had the waiters running back and forth for fresh brewed the dining service would suffer greatly for everyone.

At the captains party you are not limited to the drinks they have on trays. I always order my JW Black on the rocks without any problem

The Emerald minis are great, fully covered and if you snatch the last end one the balconies are twice as large! My favorite cabins!

I was in a quad mini with a connecting door a couple of months ago on the Ruby. No noise from other cabin, just a door on the wall. The upper birth was flush with the ceiling above the sofabed area, not protruding at all

I stayed in one on the Ruby, had the mini on Emerald E730 which was a connecting. NEVER heard a peep!
