Shippy

Midnight Buffets Leather case for your key card Assigned dining with others Chocolates on your pillow No extra charge for fresh squeezed orange juice, specialty coffees or soda No pay restaurants The bingo prize was the amount they took in each game pictures were $4.98 for an 8x10 Real ice cream was free There were wine stewards in the main dining room

We currently have a Vista suite & just bid on a Penthouse, then our suite would become available. A penthouse person might bid on an Owners suite....

Does not make much sense to me... Then EVERYONE would get a credit...say $20. So the pay restaurants would just up their price $20.

Thank you for this post. We sail in 2 weeks. I am getting used to seeing cruise lines charging extra for lobster but it would never have occurred to me that there would be an extra charge for soup & salad. I do NOT agree with that... I am OLD & remember back in the old days when there was no such thing as a pay restaurant. You were assigned to a large table with the same people for the whole cruise. Leisurely 6 course meal with pleasant conversation. Your waiter was the same each night so he knew what drink you wanted , etc....them were the days....

I would not mind getting one BUT I will say not to put ANYTHING on the outside of the glass. I have no idea how you can carry the glass otherwise.

Interesting video... She says no demand for this & then complains about all the people waiting in line for it !

Am VERY interested. We had a fabulous cruise on the Royal a few months ago. We have a 10 day Crown in May. When I booked, I did not realize this ship is much smaller & not as many amenities so a bit worried. What category cabin do you have ? We had a suite on the Royal & really enjoyed the suite lounge, I heard there is not one on the Crown (?) Also the buffet was great & they had the pastry shop located within it.. Crown's is supposed to be very small. Small casino, etc. To late now as final payment has been made. I am sure we will have a good time as I really do not think there is anything like a really bad cruise. ...Just looking to think about the positive unknowns we will encounter. Thank you for you time !

Actually, it did. That is why the strong wording on the new offers going out.

From reading this thread...it seems that a lot of passengers that have the premium plus, got it for the other things & will not be getting the desserts !

When we took our last cruise, I bid for an upgrade to a penthouse & got it. I was notified by email that the bid was accepted & then got a chance to confirm I wanted it. I just bid for a penthouse on our upcoming cruise in May. The wording was very clear. Any bids before 2/24 would be subject to your acceptance. Any bids AFTER that date are final & your credit card is charged immediately. You cannot cancel or change your mind. SO...be very careful with your bids !

My favorite part of the YC is the private deck. Some say lack of shade but it is quite an expansive area. I have always found a comfortable place. Small private pool, several large hot tubs. The buffet is the very best. We go there every morning for breakfast. They have the regular buffet but you can also order from your table. Pancakes, omelets, egg benedict, etc. Of coarse, every drink imaginable. At lunch they have a carving station & will custom make you a burger. Some days the grill small steaks & lamb chops. Even ice cream !

I have ALWAYS tipped for room service. It is a personal choice to share your money or not :O)

Just got offer currently have a Vista Suite on 10 day cruise on the Crown Offers Owners suite $910 pp Aft Penthouse $710. pp Penthouse $660. pp Premium Suite $260. pp

Finally found a youtube on the Premium suite. It is upfront. Although I like the cabin better, the bathroom totally rules it out. MUCH smaller than any of the other suites with a tub you have to step in to use the shower.

Not unhappy with current cabin but curiosity about the Premium suite. Obviously some kind of upgrade very little money but VERY hesitant to make the trade since I cannot find any info on that category ! Also curious about what people think about the offers .

We currently have a Vista suite on a 10 day cruise on the Crown. Just received an offer to upgrade to an aft penthouse for $710.pp a regular penthouse for $660 pp or a premium suite for $260. pp I cannot find anything on the premium suite. Would that be worth upgrading from the Vista suite ? The price seems reasonable ...I think :O) Do you think ANY of these offers worth while ?? thanks

Anywhere on the Zaandam to get pizza ? free ice cream ? If they have milkshakes anywhere, does your beverage package include them ??? thanks

Anyone know what they are yet ??

I would NEVER travel in a wheelchair again. I KNOW this experience is NOT typical. We did a cruise 2 years ago to avoid not losing all the credits. My knees were bad & I put off surgery. Had to use a heavy brace & cane. SFO to Miami. Layover in Texas. Did a wheelchair in the airport & getting on & off the boat. Kind, fantastic service UNTIL the way back. Got a TSA agent from hell. I told my husband to go ahead to the gate as I might take awhile. I am a tough old bird but was caught so off guard by this agent I was in tears. She harassed me for almost an hour. I do not care what anyone says....nothing happens to these people. She insisted I could walk. Took my cane AND brace & put them through the xray. She insisted on seeing my boarding pass. I told her it was in my purse which went through the xray machine. She told me how stupid I was to do that because you should always hold on to it. It went down hill from there... I will not bore you with the rest of the sordid details. Point is I never understood how totally venerable you are & how although most are kind, there are those few tormented souls that take their misery out on you. Have now have had both knees replaced & have no pain in either one. Those are really bad ass surgeries but end result is worth it ! I hear that hip replacement is much easier nowadays. Do not put it off if inevitable. It will change the quality of your life.

We are are the 7 night, 3/18/22 cruise out of San Diego. It has been sold out for quite a long time. There is 1 other 7 night in March but that also has been sold out.

Going on an Alaska cruise the end of May. We love Skagway but have heard about that port being cancelled on other cruises. Continuing problems with rock slides... We have made our final payment & checked on the internet & it still shows as a stop. Any guesses if we will go there ? when do you think they will let us know ? thanks

NOT SO ! In 2003, the Crystal Harmony did an illegal dumping outside the waters of Monterey Bay. Monterey banned cruise ships for years after that.

by saying GPS...people get the idea that they can find you anywhere, by saying BLE/NFC/RFID might be a bit confusing to most.

I think the majority of people knew what I meant.....
