Our favourite is the Crown Grill Bar. Marvin, Joaquin and Anthony were excellent bartenders, and the entertainment was enjoyable…not so loud as in the bars near the Piazza, so you could carry on a conversation.

We are just disembarked from the Majestic and had a fantastic cruise! We would happily sail her again. When the staff came out into the Piazza last night, you could tell that they really love their ship.

Hopefully this storm will pass quickly. We are boarding tomorrow and are hoping for calmer seas and winds. Fall has definitely arrived in Vancouver!

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. Looks like we will use our casual dining credits at Vines for lunch.

We are going on a family cruise on the Ruby Princess…some of us have the Plus Package and some do not. 1. Are we able to sit together in Salty Dog’s Gastro Pub or Vines without having to order extra food? 2. Are Salty Dog’s Gastro Pub and Vines open during lunchtime hours so that we can use our casual dining credits then instead of at dinner time? Thanks for any info you can provide!

Thank you, that is my philosophy, too. Time to talk to my TA again! 😃

Thank you for that information.

I live in Canada. I’m also wondering…if I book a cruise now, can I use the future cruise deposit as a $100 payment towards a cruise that is already booked (without having to cancel/rebook etc.)?

Great advice. Thanks!

Thanks…I do check regularly. My experience with Celebrity is that there is rarely a price drop (though I have found a couple) and more likely a price increase. I’ll keep watching!

Can anyone enlighten me on Princess’ pricing strategy or “typical” sale times? I am familiar with Celebrity’s dynamic pricing and their propensity to always have a “sale” to make it look like you are getting a good deal. How about Princess? Do prices fluctuate a lot? I’m hoping to book a cruise for 2025, but wanted to wait til we were onboard at the end of September to get a future cruise deposit. Is this Labor Day Sale just a renaming of the usual prices, or is it actually a sale worth booking and giving up the future cruise deposit plan? Thanks for any insight you can give.

I hope I can fit the book into my suitcase! Perhaps I won’t rely on carry-on only this time…

Thank you! That is exactly the info I needed. It sounds like a wonderful evening!

We are booked for The Daniel Boulud Chef’s Table on Equinox on our next sailing. Having never done this before, I am interested to know if we are able to use our Premier drink package to order wine with each course, or will they only serve the wine pairings ($75 upcharge…ouch!)? Does anyone have any experience with this? We enjoy wine with dinner, but it’s an already extremely expensive dinner and we don’t want to have to pay more for the wine pairings. Thanks in advance for any insight.

Thanks for the info!

I will be sailing on Majestic in about a month and have the Plus package that includes 2 StretchLab classes. How do I book these? Can they be booked before sailing?

I am unsure what will work best for me, too. I have ordered the gold bracelet to hold my medallion. At least if I am wearing it I won’t forget it? That way I don’t always have to have my bag with me.

I haven’t received an email yet, but since I am planning on cruising in the next two years, I would consider it. Does this offer have something to do with your Princess status?

Thank you for your trip report! My mom and brother are on the ship right now. I hope you all have a fantastic voyage despite the initial departure delay.

That is really disappointing. I’m sorry you don’t get to go through the inside passage. Hopefully you will on the way back.

Thank you!

This makes me wonder if it is something more than a refuelling issue.

Thanks…of course that makes sense!

Thank you so much for the information! In a way I am envious…the sailaway should be beautiful with the city lights.

Apparently there is a problem with refuelling the ship?
