My husband and I were just status matched to the Diamond level. The description isnt clear to me if both people in the cabin each can get the following benefit: "Specialty Restaurant dinner (no beverages - members + 1 guest of the same cabin no diamond member)" We are hoping we can go to Le Grill twice as part of our benfit. Can you please let me know what your experience has been if you both had Diamond Status? Thanks in advance.

We have the RBC Avion Visa Infinite and they charge 2.5% The RBC Visa Signature Black Plus from their US Bank arm does not charge the additional fee.

I seemed to have now found this: Ocean Terrace is available on the Discovery Princess, Enchanted Princess, Regal Princess, Royal Princess, and Sky Princess. The $14.99 cover charge (waved for “Plus” guests for their first two “casual dining” meals and always for “Premier” guests) includes one appetizer, one nigiri or sashimi, and two maki rolls.

I have searched but can not find the menu that would be used for the casual dining that is allowed under the Princess Plus package. Thank you in advance and Merry Christmas to those celebrating today!

As promised I am back to report the following: I used Air Canada Aeroplan points and for an obscene number of miles, hubby and I are flying Ottawa -Vancouver- Brisbane - Sydney. Business class lie flats through to Brisbane then Virgin Australia for the last leg. I will deal with the return when I accumulate more miles!

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I used Air Canada Aeroplan points and for an obscene number of miles, hubby and I are flying Ottawa -Vancouver- Brisbane - Sydney. Business class lie flats through to Brisbane then Virgin Australia for the last leg. I will deal with the return when I accumulate more miles!

We will be flying into Sydney next November for 3 different cruises (Australia, Tasmania & Auckland). We have found the flights from Ottawa to Sydney very expensive. When you good folks fly toward NA what routing do you take? As retirees we can do a layover basically anywhere. Taking a transpacific is not an option as my husband would not tolerate that many sea days! Thanks in advance for your help.

I am sorry if you misread my response. I was trying to express who much my husband would not go for that as a solution whereas I would in a heartbeat. I appreciate all the people who have responded.

WOW those days of decent points and fees are long gone with Aeroplan!

@paf225@gnome12 So happy to hear the great reviews about EVA Airways. Regent put us on them for our February Asia cruise. I will look at that routing for the SYD flight as I have spent no time in Taiwan.

@matamanoa While I would love a transpacific (did 2 transatlantics solo last year), my dear husband would rather a poke in the eye to that many sea days!

@d9704011 I did try LAX - hadn't thought of SFO; just assumed LAX would provide more options. Since you will also be looking I will let you know what I end up with!

Hubby and I have accumulated quite a few Aeroplan points (900K) for this trip. The price of tickets/points right now would only gets us business class one way! Does anyone have any recent routings that might make sense. We are both retired so we can stop over almost anywhere no real time constraints exist. Have already looked at Singapore or Hong Kong onward and those tickets are also very pricey. Any help/ideas are greatly appreciated.

@Flossygirl I just booked 2473. If you do end up taking that cabin please let me know your thoughts. I only cruise in November 2024 so lots of time to change. TIA!

Has anyone taken this in the past? Interested to know if there were extra onboard activities and if people found it worthwhile. It lines up perfectly to 2 other Princess cruises we have planned for 2024. Thanks!
