Bummer.

I would think 5oz the minimum for them. Not the best situation considering the price, but with so many on packages, there isn't much incentive to complain because guest just orders more glasses. Of course, I believe the best option for those of us cruising Standard is bottles of wine since there is better cost value and you drink how much you want. But I still think 6oz should be the standard pour.

So long? Smart Casual dress has been allowed on the ships for years now. I would admit that shorts (generally speaking) for dinner is more recent - like since the restart.

Does anyone know if PCL has actually reduced the size of WBTG in ounces? Should be (ideally) 4 glasses per bottle for approx 6oz glass. I imagine Princess was doing 5x 5oz pours (150ml). Doing 4oz pours is terrible - never seen any restaurant be that chintzy.

That is about the Riedel glasses. That said, I don't see the point of filling them with Plus plonk.

Except I can see them seating random guests where the regular TD guests did not show or are off to another dining option.

There has been a trend with Princess to utilize the Piazza for loud entertainment events since 2019 or so and it is very annoying IMO. They want it to be a "happening" place instead of a place of relative calm with low-key entertainment and a place you can actually have a conversation. LOL - I imagine all ships love to have guests funneled through shops and casino. Not just Princess.

Have you inquired at Princess? Did you book with a CVP or TA and have you had them inquire on your behalf? This is exceptional, so it could be different, but I have heard the "lead" name in a booking has to stay and others can be changed. Sure, they could cancel, but I would explain to Princess you can fill the cabin with alternate family members.

Your login profile has a CC number, an email, your name and your birthdate. All of these data elements are present in a reservation record. If any of them don't match, you are going to have an issue. Login and look at all your profile data. Is it all correct? Make any notes. Now, since you can find the reservation by entering Booking Number, Name, Birthdate, it appears that Name and BD are correct. Check that reservation data again. You might also consider resetting to a new password.

I wish any posters unfamiliar with DMW and Princess dining (not you of course) would list the ship they are on because the situation where Sun dining is being released close to sail dates compared to the rest of the fleet where it is open from booking (Elite and Platinum), is a whole different issue. It isn't a software or data issue where the Sun (or Star) is concerned.

PCL cancelled meeting the MD ( now DRO) after the restart and introduction of DMW. I predict it may return with the new 3-way dining program which formally includes TD again. Even so, when you visited the MD, you would make a request and he would offer something. You were looking at a DR map of tables. Never heard of walking about. Anyway, what I have been doing is arranging our own TD setup with a fixed table and wait staff and then we just walk in and go to it and no lines, etc.

True but the package also costs 35% more in CAD. It's all relative.

I know it has been ages since I saw a hardcopy in the mail. But I also do not recall recently receiving an email about it. I wonder if it is being published less often? I am also thinking the last one I saw was missing some of the old magazine features. Is it just another form of marketing material now (of course it was always that, but did have some other content).?

Not really working that way. Best to ask for an area and they see what they can do. No wandering around looking for something of interest.

It would have helped to provide us with the error message. As mentioned, is your credit card properly entered and are all other pre-cruise steps completed? A workaround for may folks has been to access DMW via the web version of the App. IDK your error message, but it could be that the App thinks you are not Ocean Ready or you have a bad data element. Depending on what the issue is, you may be blocked in the web version as well. You can call into Princess and use the phone tree selections to get to DMW help and see what they can do.

Guests cannot just pick a table. You might ask for a section or area of preference, but tables just aren't there for the picking all that precisely.

You cannot fix it. You need to call Princess call center and get someone there to fix it. If you booked with a Princess CVP, they can make it happen. Otherwise, you may as well call in. You could try to get someone in Captain's Circle, but I presume the issue is with your booking and not your permanent profile. A res agent at Princess ought to be able to fix this in POLAR. It will populate thru to the App in due course.

They do not know. As reported above, there is really NP bringing on small amount of wine at a port stop. Especially ones where they know wine tours occurred.

See above in purple italics.

That is sad. Makes me wonder these steps for you: 1. Approach cabin door. Able Person 1 opens door and slightly folds walker to fit through. 2. Meanwhile, Person 2 (hopefully) can support themselves by hanging onto, or leaning onto, the doorframe. 3. Person 1 re-opens walker fully on other side of doorway. And locks the wheels of course. 4. Person 2 can carefully take hopefully just one step, perhaps with some guidance from Person 1, and grips the walker to regain mobility. Seems to me this could work, given that Person 1 is ambulatory and not confined to wheelchair.

Valid points, but it does end up with some folks caught up in the maelstrom of transition having booked prior to a change. The more changes they come up with, the more turmoil. Doesn't affect me, but I sure sympathize with folks who booked under one premise/promise and end up with something else. PCL will find out pretty quickly whether their clients are prepared to pay the huge bucks for this new experience. I would think anyone prepared to continue with Suites on Sun Class would want to see what the Sanctuary will be and not the half-baked thing it is now (well, I suppose you do get fully-baked in the sun).

We cannot expect a Princess rep to provide any other answer other than what is published in their FAQs. I do not fault the rep at all in this situation. The OP really had no need to call PCL and ask because they do publish quite clearly what they are looking for. The disconnect is between the Ivory Tower folks and reality on the ships. Now, there is no doubt the senior mgmt is well aware of the situation since they do spend time on the ships. The CC membership will always have the latest and greatest in regards to reality of any situation on the ships. I think it is quite clear that PCL is keeping a foot in both camps by relaxing the clothing recommendations while at the same time welcoming those who wish to continue the formal night traditions. Many say it helps sell more photos which is a profit center.

So, didn't you get a refund for the canceled Bungalow? Unless they are sold out (doubtful), you can still fix this situation.

All gyms will be the same policy. I would say minors need to be accompanied by responsible adult. On their own, I am not sure... maybe 16.. but that's a guess. Someone will know, ir just ask once you board.

Yes, click on Change Flight and shop to your heart's content. You can bail anytime up thru the final page where it shows the final price comparison between new and original. Nothing is canceled until/unless you confirm a new booking.
