2023 and 2024 all eggs were not viable (ravens did not "kill their hatchlings". Sad, just the same. You can get quite hooked on Jackie and Shadow.

Depending on the itinerary, I have sometimes sailed without a package. Why should I get a package for a 7 night cruise when: first night specialty restaurant 2 mini-bars Don't need the special desserts/gym classes Not a big drinker. elite 50% off Medallion Net.

It dates back to the glorious/elegant days of cruising. Now, the only ones to participate are the newbies, photo ops, and those wanting free champagne. The problem is that the time is 7:30. Without traditional dining times, it is in the heart of dine times. Just like the Baked Alaska run. 7:00 in one dining room and 7:30 in the other (don't know about the third. Interrupts those dining... There are several events that have fallen off my list of to do.

Are you staying at the Pan Pacific? They have a nominal charge to take your bags from your room to the ship. If you are arriving by taxi, uber, lyft, or other vehicle, make sure the driver drops you off underground....in the garage. They will want to drop you off up on street level. It may cost you a little more since it will incur time in taxi costs. If you are dropped off at street level, it will be a very long haul to drop off your bags without assistance. Once you have dropped off your bags, you should be able to find someone to assist you with a wheel chair.

If you do not purchase PLUS or PREMIER, just one person in your cabin needs to activate Ocean Now on your app for $14.99. Then. you can order and have it delivered to anywhere you are on a ship. @dog and @Astro Flyer explained it all. There are so many moving parts to ordering from Room Service.

Thats a thought! Turn them into single/solo cabins without a supplement. That would sell well!

Not in Alaska, but this resident pair is in Big Bear, CA. Unfortunately, this season, their 3 eggs will not hatch. https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=big+bear+eagle+cam&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:6a5ede9a,vid:B4-L2nfGcuE,st:0 You daughter might enjoy watching the rest of this nesting season. Come back next January.

Ahhh. And there lies the issue. You booked a guaranteed Interior. In Princess' mind, they assigned you an interior without regard to your request for a queen configuration. There are several cabins across the fleet that have this problem. I once "toured" an accessible balcony cabin that ONLY had twin beds. It was long and narrow with a walkway down the middle. Again, very far forward on a higher deck. Thank you for sharing.

This is an oddity since it is so forward of the ship. Because of the curvature of the bow, this cabin is smaller than the rest of the insides. The first thing Princess "should have done" is NOT make this a quad cabin. None of the insides have bunks that drop down from the ceiling. All inside cabins have the intrusive bunks attached to the walls. It is unfortunate that you were assigned this cabin. It is very important to research as much as possible until you find a cabin location that you will be satisfied with before cruising.

Maybe...just maybe...this event wasn't ready for Prime Time....EITHER. aka sheldon cooper

OFFICIAL UPDATE: Thanks for your reply on Fri. Fri/Sat are my weekend and I’m just getting back into my work week today. The $5 service fee for room service delivery charges (made with a phone call to room service) is waived for any guest with Princess Plus or Princess Premier packages regardless of the cabin category they’re in. This is considered a benefit of having the Plus or Premier package. Nothing to do with the category of cabin. We certainly do appreciate your Elite loyalty to Princess.

Since the Diamond doesn't have an International Cafe, you will spend more time on Deck 6 (choose a dining room on this deck). I think it is Santa Fe and Pacific Moon. I love any cabin on Decks 5 and 6 on most Grand Class ships.

Wise decision. Most excursion operators who are responsible will work with cruise passengers. I would never book with an operator that had stringent payment requirements. I hope the ship makes your port in time.

In the back of my mind, I heard/read somewhere that crew appreciation is more like a salary base … now. I don’t think Princess keeps track of how many passengers a steward has per day/per cruise. Maybe by room or just a flat rate. I could be wrong. Won’t be the first time. your thoughtfulness is refreshing.

Eagles are everywhere. In Ketchikan, I saw them on totem poles. In Juneau, I watched them teach their eaglets how to do hit (touch and go landings) the waters from my balcony. Anchorage has a wildlife sanctuary, but don’t think you have time to do that.

For the price of a Princess hotel package, you could reserve a nice hotel, pay for transportation to the hotel, then to the cruise port. Hotel packages charge you for each passenger, but does include transfers. FLL and PE are very close. One of the easiest ports to get to. The problem you may run into is getting a hotel within the cruise area.

Not necessarily bigger, but the windows are nicer on Deck 6. I debated on Deck 5/starboard side or deck 6. I would have been happy with either. Deck 5 has a “secret” door that leads to the library. I thought I would use the library as my living room, but never had time to do that. Deck 6 would have been more convenient. The higher the cabin number, the better. Just be aware that some cabins are designed for 4.

Generally, any refundable OBC (over $25) will be refunded via another company. It will arrive by check…do not throw away without opening. Someone will chime in on name on envelope.

I’ve used EZ Air multiple times. Always less than booking directly for my reservations (not always the case when I have flown without EZ Air). I have run into a few complications because THE AIRLINE made the cancellation. But EZ Air has come through for me. I had to be flexible and invest some time on the phone and at the airport. Look at EZ Air as the same as a guarantee cabin. Patience is the name of the game.

Specific to the Caribbean Princess: The ship is still pretty much the same. I believe the cigar lounge is/will be soon turned into a vending machine arcade. (Secretly wished they had turned it into a non-smoking slot room.) If you are is in full suite, you will have access to a roving concierge. If you are in Reserved Collection mini-suite or Full suite, you may dine in the Reserve Collection part of the MDR on Deck 6. Lots more revenue activities. Lots more noise and activities in the Piazza. Plus @Mud_Shark detailed post.

Glitches? How could that be? They are no longer supporting the old app that took 4 years to perfect. aka Sheldon Cooper

Showing up on my new app (old app has been discontinued).

Are you asking about ocean view? Deck 5 and 6 have nice midship cabins close to everything.

I have never been able to reserve a suite dinner via the app. I gave up. Others have been successful. I just call the fine line when I get on board.

Hotels work slightly differently. If they do not have a room, they will find you accommodations at a sister property. Not always ideal, but you will have a bed.
