Early birds 5 to 6.  Never understood it. We usually eat around 7:30 never a wait.

The room and space and the bathroom is the main reason we book a suite and since Club class was added the second reason.

We always just take a taxi.  Never had to wait and and as post 4 mentioned cheaper.  Fort Lauderdale airport is only a 10 minute taxi or uber ride.

I personally like have the choice of what package to pick.  

I had to sign up on the waitlist.  

Always!!

Aft facing balconies sell out very quickly.    Usually those balconies and Club class mini suites sell out first.

Just asked friends who recently were on the Sky in a standard balcony and they only heard muffled sounds.  They had a family with a very young child on one side and a adult couple on the other side.  Have you asked others if they are experiencing the same problem?

No butler service.  People do come and ask if you would like a drink but that's about it.

 Princess will send a notification to the travel agent and it's up to them to notify you.  My experience with Costco is they do not notify you.  

 We think it while worth it for the sofa and table.  Makes thing so much easier when relaxing in the cabin or ordering room service.

We booked a suite on a upcoming cruise.  The friends who are sailing with us booked a mini suite.  They made a bid on a Suite a few weeks ago and the minimum bid was $200 more per person than we paid many months ago.  As other have said Princess sets a minimum price.  Their bid was not accepted.

Over a week later and it's still doing it.

Having no problem on either chrome or safari.  Was able to select all cabin types on a number of cruises.

Might not be wrong.  Booked a sunset cruise in St Thomas in 2019 the time on the website said 1pm.  Was sure it was a typo and would be corrected when I got onboard found out Princess had 2 excursions one at 11AM and ours at 1:30PM.   Asked the excursion desk how they could call it a Sunset cruise at one in the afternoon he said that RCL and other cruise lines had booked all the later cruises.  Many cruise ships in port.  He did give us a $20 credit per person.  We decided to go and had a great time just wasn't sunset.

Holiday sailings usually sell out.  

Never taken your cruise tour but everyone i have taken included entrance fees.

Our friends did a back to back .. security stopped them .. showed them both sets of boarding passes .. and they let them take them on.

Agree no problem on a back to back but it is on a scheduled 14 day cruise.  Go figure.

If you are on a Royal class ship you can go to the concierge lounge and the concierge will book it for you.

No. One bottle each free.  You can carry on more and pay corkage.  That's what we did.

This is helpful info.  How far ahead did you book it?  Last time I sailed Princess was before the app, and we just had a card in our suite telling us what time and where they had reserved for us.

If there is a card in your suite and you do not like the restaurant or time just call the dine line and they will change it for you.  I booked on the app about 6 weeks before sailing and did not have to pay and get a refund when I was in a full suite.

Not a problem most of the time from Fort Lauderdale.  Can be a problem some of the time.  I have made a 9:40 flight and missed a 11:15 flight.  On the one we missed we were a little late arriving and then there was a problem with lack of custom agents because of are late arrival.  Didn't start embarkation till almost 9:30.  Just have a backup plan.

Club Class and Aft suites sell out very quickly.  

There is just to many things that could go wrong in SFO.  The only port I feel comfortable booking that early is Fort Lauderdale

I have noticed recently on a couple of the cruises we have for next Spring and finally payment is not due until the end of the year that the suites and mini-suites disappeared from the inventory when the bidding system began.  Is Princess just holding cabins now on many cruises and hoping to have people start bidding more because of scarcity?

Part of insurance claim.  It is considered part of the cruise fare.  For us a great perk.
