I just received a very random CC refund from Princess Cruise Res in the amount of 363.07. I've never left unused OBC on a previous cruise and can't imagine that any reduction in port fees on my future booked cruises would result in this high of a refund. And I have no emails from Princess to explain this refund. Do any of you have a clue where this may have originated?

But the MDR is usually only open on sea days. How many of those 54 days are you in port? Between the buffet, the Lido and the MDR, there's lots of options for variety.

I really like the look of this new menu. Lots of options to mix things up, even on a longer cruise. And the upcharge items look to be a fairly good value.

Thank you!!

Have you asked what's wrong with the ship?

Does anyone have a link to the post about the new standard menu or a screenshot of it? I'd love to see what's on offer.

Heck, I don't even have a problem with the limited breakfast menu. I'd just be happy if it ever came hotter than lukewarm.

That's my favorite lunch as well.

I'm glad you enjoyed the itinerary and tours. And I agree that the Lido pizza is delicious. It's a shame the food was a let down. The smaller buffet on the Grand Class ships just can't offer the same amount of variety that the Royal Class ships can. And I agree that they have gone full penny pinching mode with the food. But I'm not a picky eater, so as long as I can lay in the sun and read a good book, I'm happy not to cook or clean.

That reply was not to the OP, but to a commenter on the post. I'd also like to point out to anyone else who comes along, that the Princess Upgrade Bid Program is NOT handled by Princess. They outsourced it to a third party to handle, so calling in to complain to Princess that you can't participate is wasted time. Bottom line. Book a room you'll be happy with. Participate if you want in the upgrade lottery, and if you don't win, at least you'll still be on the ship.

Following along as I will be onboard next week when you depart. I also did New Year's on Discovery last year and it was a BLAST! So I know you're in for an amazing cruise. I'm going to have a fun time following your posts.

If you don't get emailed the offer or see it in your onboard offers you can also check directly at this link. Not everyone qualifies though, as already noted above. https://www.princess.com/en-us/plan/princess-cruise-room-upgrade

Are you sure you're quoting my post? Because I feel this might be a different issue.

No. Bring any game sets you'd like to play.

Thank you! Makes it much easier to share information and offer help and suggestions.
