Queen for many reasons. The space is the same. I have a queen size at home.

Thank you for your very informative review and comparison to Princess. It definitely makes me want to check it out. As someone mentioned, not sailing from the west coast is an added cost but the new experience may be worth it.

@KarmaCruisers I’m following along your cruise and enjoying it. Do you find the cruise ship slots a lot tighter than say Vegas or Tahoe? I can never get on a roll in the cruise ship’s casino. -

Following along. Will be on the Discovery (3rd time) in April. -
Taking an Uber or Lyft from a hotel to San Pedro is fine. However taking a rideshare from LAX to the cruise port is a different story. You will to shuttle to the rideshare lot to get an Uber or Lyft which is very confusing at LAX.

Dine My Way & all new Dining questions since cruising restart!!
highloyo replied to Host CJSKIDS's topic in Princess Cruises
This is anytime dining vs. traditional dining where you were either a early or late seating. You can reserve a different dining time for each day or the same time. Or you can walk in anytime and ask for a table, although like regular restaurant, you might have to wait without a reservation. -
I agree with you but my concern way back then was HA was always under threats of Ch 11 every few years. True, MD brought in a new management but part of that was needed to turn the company around. MD knew he had to win the confidence of locals and did much to blend into the community and culture. Shareholder value and profitability had never been higher under MD. Employees, including my now retired wife, were saddened when it was announced he was leaving.

Although the pandemic hurt all the airlines HA has been in trouble once Mark Dunkerly was removed around 2017 or so. It’s been poorly run since. New management not familiar with “local culture” and over expansion has led to the situation they are in. I hope this doesn’t get approved.

Are free upgrades gone now with the bidding for upgrade option?
highloyo replied to mattR's topic in Princess Cruises
Booked 2 BW Deck 8 obstructed balconies on the Oct 21 Calif Coastal cruise about 4 months ahead in June. To my surprise when printing luggage tags a few days before I noticed the cabins had changed to Deck 10 and Deck 12 BB balconies. The different decks weren’t a problem for us even though the original cabins were separated by 3 cabins on the same deck. We weren’t notified of the upgrade at all. -
Did it change to show only your first name and the initial of your last name?

Princess Listens!! Discovery Door Screen Upgraded this morning
highloyo replied to cruiseypop's topic in Princess Cruises
Nice to know. I realized it was a problem as I glanced at everyone’s name then thought my name was out there too. -
On the Discovery there were 2 NFL channels on your TV.

On a recent 7 day cruise aboard the Discovery, up and down the California coast I didn’t buy the internet package since it was only 2 sea days and I would have internet in SF, SD and Ensenada. I was under the impression that iMessage would work on MedallionNet without internet. I thought I experienced this before but unsure if it was on the 5 PCL and RCCL cruises I’ve taken in the last 2.5 years. I inquired at the IT desk and was told it’s not possible without internet. The tall, RUDE internet lady could only offer to sign me up for internet, that’s it, ie. to stop wasting her time. It wasn’t that critical to me but curious if you actually need full internet to iMessage. What I’ve read on this forum seems mixed. BTW, the chat feature on MedallionNet is worthless without a notification feature.

Off from the Discovery a week ago. Our reservations for 4 were always between 6:40 and 7:20. We never had a wait. I think the ship sailed at 90% capacity. No problems at all with the service either.

We had DuVaul last year on the Discovery. He was very entertaining especially with his morning briefings on TV. -
Hi Renee. What is the insurance? Isn’t it just $60 per day for the Plus package? Just returned from Maui Tuesday. Our daughter has a displaced family of 4 living with them. They lost everything. We brought 3 boxes of clothes, toys and other necessities gathered by our daughters. They will soon move to semi-permanent/temporary housing. It’s hard for their 3 and 5 year old to understand what happened.

Where did Natalie C. go? I liked her when we sailed on the Majestic last year. -
Just about any bar will have bottled water.

3-Day Pacific Coastal Hollywood Insider Behind the Screen EFX?
highloyo replied to SeaCBear's topic in Princess Cruises
Thanks @ceilidh1 . I’m on the Discovery 10/21 cruise and very excited about the Hollywood Insiders musician theme. -
I guess I’ll have to do the math. I got the Shareholders’ Benefit on my last cruise with Princess Apr ‘22 also booked with an interline discount. Thanks for your input.
-
Airline employee discount.
-
I received this from Princess today after submitting my form a few hours earlier. I’ve received the benefit 3 times in the past while booking a cruise with an Interline Discount. This must be a new policy. Has anyone else booked cruises with an Interline Discount and received the benefit. Oh well, maybe it’s time to sell the losing stock. “Thank you for contacting Princess Cruises. We have received your request for the Carnival Shareholder Benefit to be applied to your upcoming cruise on October 21, 2023, on the Discovery Princess. Please be advised we are unable to apply the benefit as it is not combinable with the promotion code YI1 from your SPECIAL INTERLINE OFFER you are currently booked under.”
