Did I miss where Princess gave the definitive answer as to why the 2/8 inaugural was cancelled?

and the bars will open later than you think, also, so take a couple of roadies for the ride over on the tender

no

that Crab Shack is a sneaky one, huh? - Lunch, dinner, Crown Grill, Salty dog, buffet Catch me if you can popup?

how much USD was a beer at one of those walk-ups?

thanks - didn't realize Crab shack was lunchable

2 menus and 2 different sections?

I will offer the counterpoint from personal experience. Crown Grill may hold back some reservations for "suite" / "casino" passengers. (I stated 'may' because I don't have personal experience with that situation. I do have personal experience with immediately upon boarding going straight to CG - sorry, booked all week. You can stop by during the cruise at dinner hours and see if we have seating for a cancellation. I can book you into Sabatini's, but only for tonight ... we took that ... and continued to call the dine line at various times during the cruise - nada, sorry. So, it is unfair to posters to think that the dine line is magical.

plus 18%? oops, sorry ...

Pro-Tip - get the 4 log-in wifi/internet package.

kid's menu? - chicken tenders, pb&j ?

hopefully someone will post the new lunch menu with rotating items in this thread. I don't know enough about how Princess provisions its ships for longer cruises

how much is a beer at a Canada airport then? $$$?

yes, still included in the basic/standard cruise fare ... at least for now

10 days ago ...

drive to port - check rock bottom price booked for cabin category - check

yep ... we were on the 12/4 ... couldn't make the 12/1 work for us at that time

you sign the contract - you agree to the terms and conditions - it's only one dining venue on the whole ship - if, the food and service are the same as the other 2 mdr dining venues

I think most would like it or be indifferent - let the dress up crowd have their own space - why not?

you are not assigned traditional dining - you choose it. and with that choice, Princess has the opportunity to enforce options, not enforced in the other two mdr venues

official update?

but which came first? - the decline in service and food quality in the mdr or the more casual attire of the passengers?

Princess has the perfect opportunity to take back over the strict enforcement of clothing in the traditional dining room on the SUN Princess when it launches.

Newcastle on tap

with the just the drink package, it is OK if only one person in the cabin orders the package.
