As a Princess shareholder, something needs to be done to stop frivolous bookings. Non refundable deposits will help.

No body seems worried about how much of your cruise fare goes to executives and shareholders...

B and D are part covered. We found soot on one day of a three week cruise on B deck.

I haven't done it myself, but Butchart Gardens is supposed to be illuminated at night, and i hear it's pretty cool all lit up, so maybe that would be worth looking into as an alternate excursion.

This is what I thought until I did it. Don’t waste your time. Lights illuminate 3 foot circles. There’s not even enough light to read the map.

Princess Gifts and Services does not list Baileys as available. Looks like, as others have said, it’s by the glass.

Never had a problem waitlisting a suite. Considering how early many of them bet booked, it’s no wonder there are cancellations.

I enjoy telling people that I will be unavailable. Why should I pay so someone that I don’t want to communicate with can reach me. My free Elite minutes are for my personal use.

The pool is a great place for swimming while in Glacier Bay. On our last cruise it was full which was fine, more vantage points to see the glaciers if you want to.

Very curious about you experience. Princess always notifies my TA about schedule changes and she forwards them to me. The changes were also on your CruisePersonalizer.

Yes, it’s not a deal but I like to have my cruise paid for. Booze is usually the biggest unknown. Peace of mind is worth something.

Due to mixed signals on Princess ships, just take two aspirin and almost any code will go away.

If you put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig. I personally enjoy the MDR, for the most part. As a result I like CC. The anytime no wait is great. The table side cooking aspect is nice but doesn’t make it Luminae.

Last October we were in the Omni in Montreal and the Westin in Ottawa. The Queen Elizabeth was coming out of renovation, so none of our group stayed there. Both were nice hotels. Very central.

We are Elite and have seen a lot of comedians on Princess ships but never on stage.

As others have said, there are multiple anchoring points. Your 830 appointment is too early. All the Princess shore excursions will be leaving along with you and guess who gets priority. 930 might be more reasonable unless you want to really push it with 900. Kotor is the only port we have ever left early. There is a narrow 90 degree turn at Perast.

Your cost analysis leaves out a comparison of port days and sea days for the two cruises. The Princess Cruise has more ports and fewer sea days. We did the more expensive Eastern Canada CruiseTour with Princess for 16 days and saw much more of ananda than on the 14 day Celebrity Cruise. How do you want to use your time?

Princess and NCL in the same sentence. Really! Unless you are in The Haven.

I wondered what that black liquid available in the Buffet was. It was coffee from concentrate.

Always take a photo ID or your credit card may be declined...

Princess just sells what’s available...

My kids love Princess. They are there for the travel experience. If you are a party animal, go Carvival.

The end of the Glacier Bay day is in Icy Strait. There are (supposedly) whales there but in 4 trips, I’ve never seen one. My advice is go to dinner...

I don’t understand why people find excuses to NOT travel with a Passport. International travel requires Identification.

We had to choose between CC and TD. We were not allowed to keep our table in TD when we showed up at CC.

Personal preference. Love Club Class Dining. Don’t like bathtubs.
