First time sailing out of SF and wondering where the luggage group off is at pier 27? Are there porters there?

you won't go hungry.   Jeez so you don't get the American size portions anymore,

That’s not the point, it is all the cutbacks while we are paying a lot more!!!

Thank you! I actually found the Colombia one and then had to go to work and have not had time to return here since. I'll re post the CR one when I can. Thank you for the link! 

I was able to find your posts, I don’t care where you put it. Thank you.

I get so angry at the people that tell you what you should have done. A lot of times certain boards are not very active.

Did you go to their website?  Email them and ask if they can sell them direct.  

 

Yes I did no reply so far.

I’m asking here because little to no activity on Mexican Riviera board.
Looking to purchase day passes to Las Hadas Resort in Manzanillo. Has anyone done this recently and whom did you purchase from?

There’s no deadline to cancel.  When you

know you’re not going to use it,

just go in the App and cancel or change it.  Whatever you want to do.  Even when you’re OB, you can cancel or change it too.

Thank you.

I have made MDR dining reservations on upcoming Royal Princess cruise. How soon would I have to cancel any individual reservation? 

I am posting here because there is little or no activity on Mexican Riviera Board.

With the ships tour it list different starting and ending times, so is this not a true hop on hop off bus that I can use all day and spend as much time as I want at each stop. Counfused?

Which cruise line does a 10 day out of SF? Just wondering...

 

Royal Princess does a 10 day out of San Francisco.  It sure what other lines might do one too.

I know there have been cutbacks at Oceanview cafe for dinner, but what about breakfast and lunch ?

What are he differences between the Allegro, Concerto and Symphony dining rooms on the Royal Princess ?

We have been eating buffet more on last cruises, sometimes nothing sounds good in MDR or after being in port all day getting back late or just too tired to change for dinner.

Perhaps it is an effort to make people so dissatisfied with the standard included food offerings and potential flow-on wait times in the MDR that they will pay for "specialty" dining packages? Another form of upselling? They've given the carrot by making them seem exclusive and desirable. Perhaps now we are also getting the stick.

Thankfully husband I are fortunate in having no specific dietary issues so we will therefore eat spam, cold pizza and soggy lettuce (albeit, sadly) for dinner all cruise if we have to,  rather than be coerced into forking out even more money for food. Not everyone is in a position to do that though.

I don’t think food in specialty restaurants any better. Why pay more for very mediocre food.

Has anyone booked with Mazatlan Van Tours ? We were looking at The Mazatlan Highlights, Shopping, Beaches and Lunch Tour. Would like to know your experience.

both - the format of the app isn't very useful in my opinion.  I like to take the paper with me sometimes, but I also will go to my phone and type in "royal.princess.com" in the browser address bar to get "Ocean Concierge" which shows much easier way to see the daily schedule than what's in the app.  This works on any ship as long as you type in the ship name, followed by princess.com.  So for instance, on Discovery, it would be discovery.princess.com.  On Sapphire, it would be sapphire.princess.com.

Thank you so much. I too like paper copy, much easier to read than on small screen on phone.

I am on Royal now. I don’t have a measuring tape but if you use a full size toothpaste tube that’s a great reference for size.  The shelf Is about  8 1/2 inches along the two long straight sides ( slightly larger than a toothpaste tube) and about 8 inches at its narrowest. The toothpaste tube goes from the corner and the cap just touches the frame of the midpoint curve  ( see second photo)

Thank you so much that really helps.

On Medallion class ships do they leave a daily printed program in your cabin or is daily information only available on the app ?

Do we need to make reservations for any of the entertainment venues on Royal Princess?

Where are smoking sections located on NCL Pearl? 

Would like to know bed location NCL Pearl Club Balcony Suite for cabins 11082. 11076 or 11074?

I know not to expect anything special in food quality. We usually sail Celebrity and their quality has gone way down. Only upside I don’t eat so much and look forward to eating in the different ports.

Is there a preference between the Allegro, Symphony and Concerto dining rooms. Do you have a particular preference?

I’ve been looking at videos of the balcony cabins on the Pearl and other than hanging room in closet I don’t see any drawer storage. Am I missing something? Also where do you put your luggage during the cruise ? It looks like under the bed ?

There is a place on the app to click if you wanted it mailed or pick up at port on embarkation day. There is a fee to have medallion mailed.

I use a battery operated Luminessence LED Voltive Candle purchased at Dollar Tree for night light then I don’t have to worry about a plug.
