Airlines are crazy now. Every flight we have recently booked has been changed and not just by a few minutes. Craziest is we were booked Hartford to. Miami nonstop. They cancelled that and tried to send us. Hartford to LA to Miami !!!! Needless to say, changed airlines

Also happened to my DH. It was mandated by maitre’d. He had “ dress” shorts and collared shirt. Ironically, was onCaribbean Princess in Nov and wasn’t enforced, so packed accordingly. Luckily he did have long pants with him

I’ve just started cruising with Princess through their casino as I received a couple of free balcony cruises with premiere package and free play. Don’t think they have levels as other cruise line do. I know you don’t get free drinks which is not an issue if you have the drink package. You do accumulate points, but unlike other lines can not be redeemed for free play. I think points are used only to determine what offers you recieve

I would prefer poolside vs hillside. Poolside more convenient and Hillside a hike up especially if you have mobility issues

Just off CB and despite having card loaded , they still requested to see the card. Also, for NY residents, the woman we went through would not accept the Excelsior pass. She insisted on seeing the card.

Don’t think it included drinks, but padded loungers, umbrella free Wi-Fi ,zip line and the pool toys was $70 for 2. Umbrella alone was $20and loungers free

Just spent the day in Amber Cove. There is no beach but a great pool. Loungers are free but umbrellas $20. Food and drink reasonable

CAS does their own bookings. Don’t believe it can be transferred to TA.

We are presently on the Caribbean Princess. Can tell you the lines are still the longest I’ve ever experienced. Last night the line for dinner extended up the stairs to the next floor. Did not matter if you had reservations, you waited. They also enforced the dress code. Smart casual meant no shorts for men. Several men got turned away ,(DH included). He said that was method to cut the line down🤔. Consistency would have been nice as we were on this ship in Nov and it wasn’t enforced so packed accordingly. Staff is trying their best but many are really inexperienced. Someone tried to order a Mudslide but they couldn’t make it as had no bananas???? In a mudslide? On the pro side, food so far better then in November. Anyway, will roll with the punches and enjoy our cruise

We are on 6/4 cruise and we’re scheduled to fly in tonight. Luckily I switched and came last night. Just got notified our original flight cancelled. Flexibility is one benefit when you’re retired. Wishing everyone else gets here safely

Free play is loaded on you medallion which slot machine will read. It then keeps track of how much you have used and winnings go into another bank. You can cash out that bank anytime but can not cash out your free play

I did use mine back in Nov but I had my card in my wallet for backup if needed.

No self service washing machines. They do offer a special each cruise. If I remember, it’s like $20 for a bag.
