Yes, it's steep. But if the food quality matches the price point, then it should be very well received. If not, it will be known rather quickly. People drop that money on the chefs table all the time.

Congrats on yours as well!

If 2 show expired and 1 is still pending, it's usually the case that the pending one has been accepted. Be on the lookout for the acceptance email in the next few hours.

Thanks for the quick response. They must be having a glitch in their system. Glad it's not just me.

Is anyone else receiving onboard summary charges from Princess for cruises taken months ago? They just sent me a summary for a cruise I took on Royal in September. And I'm fairly certain I received that on day of disembarkation.

This will certainly appeal to foodies. It's always nice to have more options to dine. And 150 pp for lobster and caviar is not outrageous IMO. I'd like to see it age restricted though.

Thanks! Feel like I got a steal! And the extra space meant I could invite my other sister who said yes!!

Won my bid for Jan 6 Discovery. Was booked in Cat BC balcony. Offered 4 bids Deluxe Balcony 30pp Premium Deluxe 55pp Mini Suite 70pp Reserve forward facing mini 165pp Won mini suite at 70. All were minimum bids.

Leo Rossi is a Princess national treasure. We had the very bad luck of offering Leo and his wife who was travelling with him for the holiday our table in Loreto,MX while we were trying to leave and the restaurant was overwhelmed. Then while trying to get our check, a server dumped a whole tray of food down my husbands back. We excused ourselves at that point, but I'm fairly certain they never got food or drinks, and will never forgive us for inviting them to the table.

Very few children on a repo cruise. And the conservatory is usually pretty peaceful even with kids using the pool as it is 2 separate spaces. There is a bar located in the pool zone.

No, there's still the casino and spa. $$$

From SEA?

No. The only NS Flights from SEA were AS and HA. And they've been competing for marketshare for years.

People valued HA because of the direct flights offered. Southwest cannot offer direct flights from Seattle.

Alaska has been fighting for marketshare from Seattle to Hawaii for a very long time. At times discounting flights to 99.00 one way. Most recently to 149 each way. This would give them a monopoly from the west coast. Whether they would keep the HA product is laughable. Did they keep the Virgin product? This is what the Feds will look at when deciding whether to let this sale go or not.

Nope because I don't see the feds allowing this. Alaska barely manages its own business. They can't go all 48 Contiguous states and manage this.

You're correct. I edited my post once I remembered that it was in packets to add hot water to. The packets were available in the buffet.

There are coffee dispensers, hot water dispensers, juice dispensers at breakfast, flavored water dispensers after breakfast, and ice and water dispensers all day. And hot chocolate packets and tea bags. Princess makes sure we're well hydrated.

You can bring all of that, but the buffet provides free coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. And ice is not only readily available in the buffet, but at any bar onboard. And your room steward will also happily fill your ice bucket in your room twice daily. They only ask that you don't directly fill your own container from the dispensers in the buffet, but use their cups to dispense, then dump into your own container.

Alaska is going to try, whether the Feds will approve the deal is another matter. There's definitely some antitrust issues to look at here.

You're going to have an amazing time! Princess knows how to throw a party!

My bad, I meant to quantify that as glass bottles. You are correct, plastic bottles are fine.

You can carry on 1 12 pack of canned soda 12 oz per person. Must be carried on and not passed to porters and cannot be bottles. You can carry on 1 bottle of wine per person over 21 corkage free for consumption in stateroom. Any additional bottles require a corkage fee. These additional bottles may be consumed anywhere on the ship.

I find it highly doubtful that there is a delivery fee for the Sanctuary Menu items. It could be that if you order Ocean Now delivery on the app for delivery to the Sanctuary there might be an automatic charge that populates if you don't have the Plus or Premier Package. But that can probably be circumvented by asking one of the staff to order whichever menu item you wish to eat.

Isn't the Sanctuary menu included as part of the cost of booking a lounge or cabana? I distinctly remember that as part of the perks.
