Ues, I've read about it multiple times on FB, and in here . The vast majority found that editing the address, even if it's just "edited" to the same thing already saved, fixed the issue. Worth a try. Abbreviate something then out it back, etc whatever, just make a minor tweak - heck, type it in exactly the same as originally, but apparently - that fixes it .

No, Coral does not have Ocean Terrace Seafood or Kai Sushi. Bayou Cafe is same menu as Crown Grill..worth is in the eye of the beholder. It's a generally nicer overall experience than the MDR. Consider instead the Ultimate Balcony Dinner for a special birthday dinner.. Served right on your balcony, 4 courses, flowers you keep, half bottle of champagne, welcome cocktail and picture you keep. It's absolutely delightful and the menu is flexible, within reason.. crab cake, pear and walnut salad, filet and lobster, specialty chocolate berry dessert. You can make some substitutions, within reason ie I get a ribeye instead of filet, two tails instead of surf and turf, chicken or salmon things like that. It's $110usd per two.

It'll be difficult for them to find you if you're moving around the ship after ordering. Imagine a waiter wandering around the ship as your location keeps changing as you move around - not a good idea.. It's best to stay put once you've ordered,that way they can easily find you. You can order to a different location, ie order to cabin if you're on the way there in a few minutes..

Just back from 7 nights on Sun Princess!

Sanctuary seating is first come, first seat and you can move around. Cabanas are still at cost, $499 I think. There's a full bar, some entertainment at times, champagne wall (ring bell, get glass of champagne), pool, and food available Only those in a Sanctuary Collection cabin have access. Others can't pay for a day pass or anything. -
Princess has had their beverage packages for 11 years come December.. until Nov 2017, they were unlimited drinks. From Nov 17, it's been 15 alcoholic drinks per 24 hours - until this past August when the Premier beverage package reverted to unlimited again.. I haven't experienced any proliferation of packages or extra drunk people over the years. The beverage packages have always been popular, and the bundled packages, available since before Covid, were always popular too. And still are. Whether the changes to Premier to include unlimited drinks has made a difference in the 2 months it's been available - can't say. I doubt it, but who knows? I've frequently encountered tipsy people on Princess, since we'll before beverage packages or bundled packages were available. The swim-up bar on the old Regal, it was quite common to run into a few lushes. The Mermaid's Tail on some of the ships, very common also. Crooners - definitely run into a few tipsy people every sailing - piano bar, martinis - what's not to love?!. By the old 2 for 1 happy hour in the clubs at 11pm-12am - lots of happy people around, getting their drinks on .. Whether it's more "now" versus "before" (whatever amorphous date that may be) - how would you gauge that? Maybe you're more aware and not that there's more tipsy folks.

Are there solo rooms on star princess or sun princess?
reedprincess replied to latebuyer's topic in Princess Cruises
I'm not sure how to say it any clearer - there ARE solo cabins on Sun, and I presume Star will be the same. They are less expensive for one, than one person booking into a double occupancy cabin solo. They are not less expensive than the individual price of a double occupancy cabin... They are also smaller than the standard inside cabin. -

🙄 Obviously. However, as noted, there are actual solo cabins - that cannot accommodate more than one person. Unlike a standard cabin that can accommodate a minimum of 1, but sold based on 2 occupants, while some can accommodate 3 or 4, or 5 or 6, depending on cabin... Super helpful, I'm sure.. -

reedprincess replied to latebuyer's topic in Princess Cruises
Yes, Sun has 4 (6?) solo insides. QI category . They're smaller than the standard inside, which is already smaller than the other ship's insides. Have t seen pics yet - most people are unaware they exist! And pricing has been wonky for sure, usually same or more expensive than a regular inside.. I imagine Star will have the same.. -
No, at least for US based bookings, there hasn't been a sale on Plus or Premier Cruise Packages nor in beverage packages. The UK has had a Buy Plus get Premier sale a couple times .. Plus Cruise Package is a flat $60 per night per person, whether in advance or aboard.. and there's no real reason to buy in advance, except "free" medallion shipping, and if you buy aboard, you're refunded $10 pp for not being able to ship it for free.. Enjoy

They remind me of the old Royal, Regal and Sun. Very private, spacious - and these are close to the water line, so lovely wave noise as the ship slices through the water..

Premier Unlimited- help maximizing value please
reedprincess replied to kluv2cruz's topic in Princess Cruises
That's what we do. Sailed solo (amongst a group) a couple months back, came home with 110 photos from a 1 week sailing.. lots of me with my friends, lots of solo, dinner pics, every single port shot, etc. 3.orinted - got the dinner group one and gave it to the birthday girl, got a great formal night shot of myself and another group photo. It was fun and the photographers seemed happy to have someone actually taking photos, lol.. We'll be doing it again over the Christmas and NY holidays. I expect somewhere around 200 photos over 14 days, probably. -
Cove balconies are on 6. Completely private and closer to the water line. Can very occasionally be closed off in a port due to refueling LNG, but unable all cruise long. Cabin itself is exactly the same regardless. These are the Cove Balcony setups...

Boarding on deck 5, walk to the forward elevators, walk back on 7 to aft, and go to from there. Board after 11:30am and there's minimal to no lines for any elevators, including getting onboard... Buffet never closes between 6am to 10pm. One side or the other may shut as they switch over as meal times change but the other side is open.. you can get there with all right turns also, as a right handed person. Or all left turns .

5, 6 or 7 depending on tides. If you mean at Port Everglades, usually 5, if memory serves from last spring.. I'm curious why it really matters?
