I have taken the 12 day and 8 day BI, both in August. On the 12 day, I took an Oceanview cabin. The 8 day, I booked an Oceanview and a week before was offered for $$$ got a balcony. The balcony was nice, to see what the weather was like but a little cold to sit out even when docked. On a sea day, we tried to sit out to watch the outdoor movie, after a 1/2 hour we left as we found it too cold to sit out. You only have 2 sea days. I would go with an Oceanview cabin.

I am Elite, I have Nov 2025 and Aug 2026 booked on the Sky.

Enjoyed your other reviews. Following along on this one. Enjoy the Sky

Looking forward to your review of Princess

Have enjoyed your review. I have cruised Norwegian Fjords 3x with Princess, each time with different people.

I was also able to book @ 5:30 each night in Soleil for the August 8, 2926 Solar cruise.

Thanks, might try this cruise as has a lot of sea days.

I am Elite and have never ordered it before. Do you call room service? Do you order day of or day before you want it ? Do they ask what you want to eat? Do they ask for how many? Is it always at 3pm?

We do the same, same table and wait staff each day plus I ask for no salt menu.

You might have to have a couple of tables near each other. I had a group of 16 on Celebrity. We had 2 tables of 8 close to each other. Each night we switched around between the 2 tables.

How big a group? Tables usually up to 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 You will need all of their booking numbers to book together. If a very big group maybe your agent can make arrangements with Princess. I was on a cruise with 50 from dance group. They had a whole section in traditional, when the doors open they just walked in. On another cruise, there was a huge West Point reunion group. They had a sign at the entrance of traditional for them to line up. They had a whole section for themselves.

I was finally after trying all day on app and website to be able to book my dining finally on the app for Sept 26, 2024. I could not get a time 5:20, I wanted so I took traditional for 5, I was not able to click “same table and time each day” so had book same time each day for 17 days, For Nov 2025 and Aug 2026, I was able to book 5:30 “same table and time each day” for each cruise.

For cruise Sept 26, 2024, Elite, paid in full I have tried - the app - no content found or put in date/time then found no reservations the website - add guests - I added their booking # - then goes blank What am I doing wrong?

Wonder if they are rolling out dining by ship. I have seen people able to booked for Caribbean and Discovery

Want to know what you had to did to be able to book dining for Oct? I am waiting to book for Sept 26, 2024 on the Ruby, Elite and paid in full.

I have Sept 26, 2024 cruise and not showing dining yet

I had booked for November 2023 Mediterranean and Israel cruise. It took Princess awhile to cancel the 2 ports in Israel and a few more months to add 2 new ports and excursions. Many passengers were disappointed and cancelled.

The Paralympic Olympics starts August 28 after the Olympics finishes maybe that is why your excursion was cancelled.

They are usually excursions that are not selling and you would not have picked in advance. If you wait there might not have any excursion left.

We already had a 20% Sale for Hawaii. Princess checked for my sister if there was going to be a Sale and it doesn’t show for any.

Makes me feel good that Princess price is not too bad at $329.95, I am Elite so will get the 10% discount.. My sister tried to book 2 days after I had booked, the excursion list page showed $329.95 and when she click to the next page, it had jumped to $394.95. She is only Platinum so no discount.

It is - Best of Maui, Haleakala Center and Maui Ocean Center 8:30am-3pm with a meal When we were going to Lahania, the price was lower with no meal.
