Subscribe to emails for a $50 savings doesn't work either because they already have my email on file. What I don't understand is if I'm signed in why am I still getting that annoying pop up.

This site worked much better on land and sea when they had an APP. I guess it was too expensive to maintain it.

With remote work there are some who would rather work from a cruise ship than from home. I wish this was an option during my working years. Honestly why should anyone be concerned with others who need to be connected for one reason or another. Not to mention more money doesn't mean better service. It just means more pissed off passengers paying for a service they aren't receiving.

The people at Princess are on a different time zone than the US.

They are always doing updates on these cruise line sites at night. For me that's eastern time, which means if they the doing it a 11:59 you will be out of luck to make a payment.You will be on hold longer than a minute if you wanted to do it over the phone so that won't work either. But if you like to live dangerously knock yourself out. Let us know how it turns out.

Is there a way of finding out which cruises have group rates?

That would have solved the problem.

My personal items are put away. I want to be sure the counters are clear for cleaning.

We actually have $300 OBC to spend from the Celebrity credit card rewards. I upgraded to the Premium drink package for $8.99 each. I wish I didn't pre pay the gratuities but maybe we will go to a specialty restaurant. I think this is refundable OBC. We certainly don't need any cruise line logo crap. We tossed so much out when we recently moved. What a waste of money. We were young and stupid.

I can certainly understand why someone would feel the need to suddenly flush a crack pipe or coke spoon but the other stuff, why just why?

I agree. On my last royal Caribbean cruise they gave anyone with a drink package a bucket, yes it was a bucket with a handle to use with the soft drink machines. There is no way I need to walk around with a bucket of Coca Cola at 64yrs old. We left them on the ship unused when the cruise was over,

As an experienced cruiser I agree with this. I spend nothing on board any more. there was a time when my on board spending cost more than the cruise. If they started giving loyalty points on purchases I know that there are people who would jump for that opportunity. Everything they sell on board is less money at home and I can return it if there is a problem. My wife tells me even the cosmetics aren't a big savings. Of course if you forgot something from home at least you can buy it on the ship.

Of course Royal Caribbean came up with a way to charge you so you don't have to carry your bag around. They offer the Key for a price. One of the benefits is you can drop off your carry on and someone will bring it to your room.

I just tossed those travel cups out a year ago when we were packing up the house and moving.

Thank you. I don't bother with Cruise Critic outside of my desk top or lap top ever since they did away with the APP. We are only taking our phones on this trip.

You took the words out of my mouth. This is validated by the posters who sill have them are are holding on to them. I remember treads about Elites trading in the mini bar for coffee cards then just hoarding them.

You live in Florida. Book a quickie last minute residents cruise. I'm Not interested in the points. I just wanted to see the videos and surveys.

I just want to send a text message to check on things at home or post to Social Media. Am I good with the basic package? We have iPhones. Will iMessage work?

My mom said the same thing. She also said, "A woman's place is in the home".

Same B.S. lip service. We are constantly evaluating the selection Yada Yada Yada....and nothing changes but the price. I will book AI at the time of booking if the price makes sense to me. It seems from reading many threads how brands disappear off of the premium menu it only makes sense to me to pay the difference for the rare occasion I want a call brand. What annoys me is the mystery pricing and the fake sales. On my last Royal Caribbean sailing the onboard price was the same as the sales they were offering all along. I have never seen the drink package offered at the inflated regular price.

Princess. I stated that I would sail any cruise line or class ship against my will if the itinerary was what I was looking for. Princess has the worst rooms at sea in IMO if you don't sail in a suite and the Island Princess is an old ship.

me too and a change of cloths.

I guess you missed the sarcasm and reiterated the distain for E Class.

If I have to book a cruise line or class of ship against my will it's because of the itinerary. Some of the best itineraries are on the older ships. I booked a 12 day ABC island reposition cruise on the Island Princess. That's probably one of the worst ships in their fleet. However I had to cancel due to a work conflict. I'm not a fan of the E class but for the right itinerary I would book it.

I worked for them just before I retired. Worst two years of my life. We had a few over priced swim trunks that never sold. There were too many other stores on Long Island to shop. Even Macy's was cheaper this time of year.
