Well Princess cruises for. 1. If you don’t have a package you will be billed for each drink. Same with brewed coffee at the IC

Personally I can only use one device at a time. I guess I don’t multi task as well as I used to since I retired. LOL

There is no one main dining room. All dining rooms serve the same menu

I really don’t get the idea that changes never happen. For years many restaurants gave you free refills on sodas then one day it stopped. Did that make people irate ? Airlines are continually changing loyalty programs why is cruising different. Things aren’t the way they were when I was 20 in lots of ways and I don’t expect the world to be any different

Yes there are some extra channels for special sporting events but you have to click on them sometimes to see what is on. We will be on the Grand during the summer Olympics and expect there will be several in use

Just curious the premier package gives you a 4 device internet connect rather than the one on plus but as far as I know it is the same internet

It all depends on what you are going to use. On the Island there will not be a lot of casual dining options. If you drink a lot of upscale wines or like to have a lot of pictures taken then you may want to consider it. For us it does not work but the plus does since most of the drinks we like are included in the plus package. We may eat a casual meal or 2 but only if we don’t care for that nights menu. We sail in suites so one specialty dinner is included. also after 50 plus cruises we do not need any more pictures at all The price difference of $20 per day per person is what it has been for quite awhile

On the Crown last month we got a lot of help from the Loyalty officers. Not the ones pitching future cruises but the one with the desk outside Wheelhouse

It is a meal with very good food but huge amounts of food. If want to eat an entire bowl of soup and then an entire bowl of risotto followed by steak and lobster plus dessert this is for you. Too much food for me

My statement would be a new “version” on the app is not a new app. Just another of tons of new versions of the original app

What scenery ? All the dining rooms are enclosed. Are you talking about the people eating there ?

Reserve class dining is only in one dining room and on all grand class and Royal class ships I have been on it is always in the midship deck 6 dining room

The aft elevators are also very busy going up at breakfast time especially at breakfast and lunch time with people rushing to the buffet

Alll it needs is a side of sausage

In some ways it is easier to get a table in the aft dining room since it is larger, no carve out for reserve class folks and less people wanting to go down the stairs or aft elevators

In Seattle a few months ago I just waved my passport up in the air and they waved me through customs. I am willing to bet it could have been anyone’s passport. No one actually looked at it and I was at least 5 feet away from the officer

I have always believed it was 90 minutes before planned sailing time. So 2:30 for a 4:00 sailing in many ports

I am only seeing this so called news from one blogger. I am branding it as rumor. If it was real I would think someone like Don Teris who travels Princess a lot would have said something

Not closed but whenever we port in Victoria only one bar per deck is allowed to be open. On Alaskan cruises where that is your last port and you are there late it makes for some very crowded venues

Yep hope it holds. I need to change the email address but that function is currently no working

6:30 cocktails 7:30-8:00 dinner. See everyone in the Wheelhouse

It would be for us

If this is the Crown Princess then the free pizza by the slice is the only option. There is no Alfredo’s on the Crown. Your casual options ate Vines and Salty Dog Gastropub. Some say the do some popups pizza but we were recently on this ship for 2 days and there was none. You need a good CVP assigned to you not just whoever answers a phone

Make that 6:30

My call came a few weeks before sailing Yes you get your pick of days and there are 2 sittings per evening
