Use ATM at the port is your best bet for a better exchange rate. Using a card with no foreign transaction fees helps also.

Wrong!

Secondary verification, same as when you are asked to verify your date of birth at medical appointments,

For all of you rushing to get RFID pouches, lining you hats with extra aluminum foil and considering disguising yourselves from the cameras, Princess does not care where you go or what you do unless you are doing something against the rules. They are collecting metadata which gives them an idea of venue attendance, etc. I believe that is how dining venues like Bistro Sur La Mer are removed. I also think that it is used in decisions on stocking provisions and drinks. Trust me, there isn't a secret deck where thousands of employees are sitting in front of computers watching your every move/

My wife uses a necklace lanyard. Onboard I purchased a blue watchband holder that worked quite well and I will use on the next cruise.

Me as well.

Every generation has a fashion trend to regret in laterr years. BTW I exempt medical workers and people like @Potstech from scorn of wearing socks w/Crocs.

Or Crocs with socks.

Your steward will bring you each a glass of the fizzzy stuff that the crew in the boiler room bottles each day. It is part of the mini-suite amenities and has nothing to do with the Reserve Collection.

There is a wide variation of times when a guarantee cabin is assigned. We got our guantee cabin assigned 100 days out but I have seen them assigned at the pier.

The problem being? 😂

South to the crowd?

The Medallion seems to work just fine, it is the Medallion App that causes the problem with some of the users. You can get along just fine without the app,

For those with their nose in the air about "Costco Water": Spring water is spring water.,

Ir appears a week or so before your cruise,

The QR code appears a week or so before the cruise when you open the app. There is no need to take a screen shot of it.

It is always a good idea to print out the Travel Summary as well in case there is any problem with packages and excursions purchased.

Traditional dining went away when Princess introduced Dine My Way after the resumption of sailing. The only way to get close to traditional dining is to select the same time every night and then consult with the head waiter to get the same wait team every night.

We upgraded from balcony to a mini-suite last October on the Enchanted and we retained our Princess Plus.

...and away we go!!! 🙄

Apparently it is not offered on our cruise (we are on the same cruise).

I am on a September sailing on the Emerald and the vow renewal is not available, only the honeymoon package.

Alfredo's is a sit-down dining venue on Deck 7 with waiter service, not to be confused with the pizzeria outside on the Lido Deck.

They did not stop giving menus. Instead of the separate printed card, it is on one of the sheets of paper waiting for you in your cabin when you embark, very easy to miss.

Last year it was the night of the Newport and Halifax stops. The second night was called "Dress to Impress" night.
