Thank you MISSP22 for providing the 360 link. I personally think it was very informative and detailed. Based upon the information in that video, I posted my opinion on another tread. This is my opinion. This is my opinion and your opinion may differ. After looking at the 360 video I personally believe I would not pay $149pp for this dining experience. Yes, it is unique, an experience and IMAX presentation. You experience the places the food comes from. Your in an excellent environment. It is AI. HOWEVER, specifically addressing the food dishes that were shown would not be worth the money to me. I have visited many Specialty Restaurants and Chief Tables on many cruise lines. If that is what is served, I would consider that a poor selection of food and not worth the cost. Again, I'm very happy that this video was provided to allow me and others to see what 360 is. It maybe for you and not for others. At least I now have a more definitive idea of what 360 may be. Happy Cruising!

Enjoy your 360! Please give us a review of the overall experience and specifically the food. If you can and its not to much trouble, please take a pic of the food. Thank you very much!@ Happy Cruising!!

Since we are on both sides of the fence in regards to price, what is provided for the $149?

Been on Celebrity Apex and NCL Prima this past year. Breakfast was excellent and many choices on both! Happy Cruising!

I can see why they would open it to all! Make more money off those who will pay. If you have a beverage package and can go to one of the Specialty Restaurants for $39/person. Too much for me. JMHO!

Food is very subjective! Out of these Cruise Lines, E = Entertainment F = Food P = Price Celebrity E 2, F 1, P 5 Elite + MSC E 4, F 5, P 1 Diamond NCL E 5, F 3, P 4 Saphire Princess E 3, F 2, P 3 Elite 55 cruise RCI E 1, F 4, P 2 Diamond + We traveled in 2022 & 2023 on all of those lines 2024 we have booked RCI & Celebrity as of now. There is not much difference between them all. Personal choice. We consider ports, price, ship, perks, in that order. Hope I answered your question. Happy Cruising!

In response to the above posts about other cruise lines. I only post that information to let others who may not cruise the other lines of what is happening in the industry. I am not loyal to anyone line. I cruise based on ports! Like they say in Jamaica POOO POOO HAPPENS. What is posted this minute may change the next. Happy Cruising!

I know since we do cruise the others each year, too. Celebrity, MSC, NCL, RCI. At least RCI put out a survey and asked if we would accept it. The results were negative to charging for pizza. Thus, RCI did NOT start charging for pizza.

They use to do the: vow renew free as a group. Ship tours free for Elites. Now it is all about $.

Some people accept any and all increases. Then P&M about nickle and diming! There are still other cruise lines that we can go to. Happy Cruising!

I did not miss the point! My point is how can Princess justify a price for a wedding, pictures, meal, Bridge tour and charge so much? You are talking about x number of hours for an event and comparing that to 6 days of Cruising. This is an example of people getting in over their head then filing for chapter 11. You expressed your opinion and justification. I expressed my opinion and justification You spend your money as you like. Happy Cruising!

Not flaming you. If you consider this a valid price, what do you consider the price of a cruise on RCI Symphony OTS 6 day Central Park Balcony for 2 people at $1,367? I agree that only includes a balcony cabin for 2, dining for 2, shows\entertainment, ports, and since we are Diamond Plus 5 drinks each day for both of us. What am I missing? TIA HAPPY CRUISING!

We are celebrating our 61st wedding anniversary. Yes, I did say 61st on the Enchanted Princess on a 21 day cruise in the Mediterranean. Like others have said, the price is outrageous. We are taking a 6 day RCI Cruise SYMPHONY OTS Central Park Balcony for 2 at $1,400 price. Again, $1,400 total price for both of us. That is the truth Happy Cruising!

I guess we come from the old school. Put the money into a house or pay for your future, as many of the marriages don't last that many days.

You are correct in your assessment of Celebrity. Just got off of Apex. Everything is much more expensive on Celebrity. Happy Cruising!

I consider the RCI benefit a big plus for those who don't buy the beverage package and only drink a minimal amount each day. So, each cruise line has their pluses and minuses. RCI tried to charge for the pizza and sent out a survey and the public decided against the pizza charge. Thus, RCI backed off. I provide this as info only to others. Happy cruising!

RCCL now puts x number of drinks on your cruise card based on your status. Diamond + gets 5. You may use these at any bar anytime during the day. If you don't use them in the 24 hour period, you loose them. Just got off of the Apex in July. We had the beverage package and thus didn't use the Happy Hour. As for the nibbles, too close to dinner to really take any.

We have the Princess Plus package. The NEW 2 casual dining meals per guest? I say it applies only to the casual venues such as: Casual dining meals is: Alfredo's, Gigis, etc. Appetizer $5, Pizza $12, Dessert $3. My TA says it applies to: Specialty Restaurants are Sabatini's, Crown Grill, etc. Meal $39. Princess sure has generated a topic for discussion!

From looking at the pics provided on other forums, specifically the Enchanted Princess, Champaign Water Fall, not too many people are dressed on that Formal night. That cruise went out of Rome or Barcelona. What would we talk about if we didn't have Formal nights. LOL

My personal opinion when I compare this function to other Cruise Lines. Charging $8 per drink from a selected list? Not a perk or benefit at all. JMHO!

We have done 55 Princess cruises and 3 more this year on Princess. However, we do other cruise lines, too. This way there is a variety of ships, entertainment, food ports, etc. Happy Cruising!

Have you done 54 cruises on Princess only? Shows do change even on Princess.

That used to be Traditional Dining without extra cost. Happy Cruising!
