Blame Texas laws for the lack of alcohol. It makes no difference whether you have a package or not. This is all on Texas not Princess

I would never book any cruise on the first month or so of a new ship. After cruising for over 30 years I have seen issues on multiple ships on multiple lines have issues on the first month or so of sailing. From plumbing and AC issues to things like carpet still being installed on initial sailing There is nothing like the smell of sewage or the sound of hammering to really make for a great cruise

If you are never going to cruise again the you are not what I would call a cruiser. I will bet a large amount of people who booked this cruise multiple times a year

The area for snacks next to the casino they now call the IC has been there for years before Good Spirits showed up it also served as the casino bar

This is how you have to act when you have Covid. They make you stay in your cabin for 5 days and if you want the toilet. Leaned you do it yourself. If you want linens changed they leave them outside your cabin. Personally I only do that when I am sick but if someone wants to clean everything themselves fine but I hope they don’t use that as an excuse to remove gratuities

The old key card already told them how many drinks you had, how often you went to specialty restaurants and spent in stores. What more could they get from a medallion except for where you went around ship ? Plus they have had packages way before the medallion ever came out

It is much more than a full refund. Just as example if you paid $10,000 for a cruise you get all that back plus $5,000 for a future cruise

Two things to note. The Coral can go through the old Panama Canal locks unlike most ships. That is a huge draw for us. We also like the Ruby but again that is an extra 1,000 passengers and cannot go through the old locks

Mine have worked throughout 21 day cruises but they do tend to get a little tired towards the end

Much prefer the Coral for the space

Same here

Whoever even mentioned suite breakfast ? No change there at all it is the lunch menu that was changed. There is no longer a different menu every day just a few item subtracted or added each dayo. Except when they have pub lunch

Since there is no recycle bin in the terminal and you need the medallion to get off the ship how do you reuse them ? We just recycle them with other batteries

It will last as long as there are people waiting to get their picture taken. But yes almost always first formal and starts before 6

We go as far aft as possible to get wake views and enough roll to know we are on a cruise

It is very different with courses based on wine selections. 360 dinners I have done were set menus and drinks plus a visual experience

It is a warning not a rule. Also times of disembarking is not written in stone. You may not be able to leave hhe ship exactly when it is scheduled

360 is not part of specialty dining venues. It is grouped with things like winemakers dinner and chefs table. Did it when it was free for suites and yes it is great but maybe not for the new price

I was referring to the universal we This is all from a third party vendor that Princess hired to run future cruises. From my experience they will push anything and not give you any details until they have your money

I have stayed in several on this class ship and the penthouse wraparound aft balconies are all very large. One consideration would be how far do you want to be from the concierge lounge. We like to be on Riviera deck so we can walk down the hall to get coffee or tea before going to breakfast

Beware of what you wish for. If this too good to be true it probably isn’t

Have had Covid twice on board at least now you can just stay in your cabin for 5 days and then go about your business

So are the late ones after 7:30 or 8:00

I have never used delivery or room service on board except for being quarantined for Covid

Looking at posts that people waited 15 minutes or more for a drink delivery or ont that never showed up it sounds like it would be faster to walk to a bar or in the buffet just ask a server to get one. On our last cruise the few times we ordered wine and beer from a server in the buffet they were delivered in less than 5 minutes
