Lunch had never been really good before. However at least there was a daily changing menu not the boring choices the have today. We only go to MDR for lunch when they have pub lunch

Anyone who thinks that stewards and servers are not getting anything from pooled tips is living in an alternative reality. When you take off auto tips the people you are actually hurting are the behind the scenes employees that help the people you see do their jobs such as laundry workers, dishwashers etc

Monte Christo in name only. Kind of like the one on Amtrak
-
You would also need a zero alcohol package for the girls assuming the will be drinking something other than tap water. If you have 2 premier packages you will have 8 devices available 4 for each plan

We just got off a short 20 day on the Crown. Have to agree the lunch menu on sea days is boring. Also the grill items were not good at all. We ended up using 2 casual dining credits at Vines for lunch

memoak replied to FamilyAtSea.travel's topic in Cruise Casinos
For a free balcony it looks like 7,000 plus is realistic -
Can Bottles of Hard Liquor Be Purchased on Board?
memoak replied to jtwind's topic in Princess Cruises
Obviously these are very small bottles at inflated prices. If you are elite take the mini bar and exchange for the type of liquor you like -
If you mean when you can leave to go adventuring. Then most likely between 9:00 and 9:40. All aboard would be at 4:30. 2/2 hour before sailing

What do you do to reduce onboard illness?
memoak replied to lahlah57's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
To us a 10 day cruise is very short. We generally do 14-20 day cruises. We wash hands and use sanitizer. If you try to avoid people who cough or sneeze you might never bre able to leave your stateroom. We act pretty much as we would at home where we go to theaters , eat in restaurants and shop in crowded stores -
Each leg gets a new mini bar. If you are in a full suite you can get 2 per leg

The mention is all over the ship. On the patter plus instructions
-
This was long time ago like in the 1980’s. Just never trusted Princess air after that. If I am sailing from the west coast we mostly travel by train
-
We prefer to book our own flights to avoid layovers. Princess once sent my mother from Acapulco to San Francisco via Miami with 2 layovers. Not for me
-
I find the noise levels on Royal class ships to be much higher yhsn the older ships due to the design of the piazza with all the venues open go the area

Is beer in cans or from fountain in the plus package
memoak replied to damiross's topic in Princess Cruises
On the Crown now. 2 draft beers in Wheelhouse. One is Newcastle all others in cans or bottles -
I believe that is actually Future Cruise Deposit

Discuss Implementation of Smoking Policy
memoak replied to CC Help Michell's topic in Princess Cruises
A minimum of 1/2 of all slot machines usually a little more. No smoking at the bar or table games -
It autofilled on me corrected now shirts. This goes for any Princess ship I am on
-
I have my own extension cord that I can put behind the pillows if the connections are on the wrong side
-
Vines (set menu with veggies, charcuterie plate and truffles). Salty Dog Gastropub Those are the only things open on our cruise right now. There have been no pop ups
-
I never wear a tie even on formal nights in any cruise anymore. For casual I have been known to wear jeans an T shirts. For formal regular slacks or chinos and a shirt with buttons will suffice. No need to go to the buffet
-
There more be more insight once the ship actually sails on cruises
-
You will not have to show guest services anything not all plus items show on travel summary. They do all show on the app. No charge for shipping medallion for plus in US
-
We can never get through on chat. It will tell us we are next in line for 15 minutes and then say 30 in line Better to get a decent CVP
