Everyone chooses how to spend money on cruises. We choose not to pay for chefs table or winemakers dinners don’t buy jewelry or most excursions. We are casino players so we take our discounts and upgrade to reserve class

Complimentary Specialty Dining Dinner on embarkation evening?
memoak replied to rhblake's topic in Princess Cruises
We have sailed in suites 8 times since the restart and it is not an issue. The specialty restaurants do set tables aside on embarkation night. We either go to the venue when we embark or call the dine line never had a problem. In fact once we were called by the dine line while we were unpacking to set a venue and time -
Thank goodness for reserve dining

Never got a bounce back but saw some possible deals on line so called CVP and got some good deals for 2025 including a re fare of an existing cruise. Was able to get free room, plus and a little free play. Not quite as good as before but not bad

At Crown I am partial to both the filet and the lamb chops. At Sabatini’s almost all the pastas are good especially the carbonara

When you have cruised over 50 times and spend a lot of time in restaurants and bars you get to know quite a few people. On our last cruise we bumped into a bar manager and 3 bartenders we had sailed with before

The Crown is an older ship the bigger ones have more There is sometimes a pop up now and then but to reassure you we have enjoyed meals in both.
-
As far as I know the only specialty restaurants on the Crown are Sabatini’s (my favorite) and Crown Grille. What is the 3rd restaurant you are referring to ?

They are also on your app and TV -
Entertainment is a very broad category which also includes casino workers not just singers and dancers. How do I know that ? Because I was gifted a specialty dinner on my last cruise and per dine line it was from the entertainment department and yes I am a casino player

So do I. I thought I was the only one who used their pet as the personal pic

Again all those who might bring you a blanket at MUTS or an extra towel at the pool are giving you service as well as many that you never see. Again just my opinion Basically how do you determine which of the crew”deserve” it

How-to: Disable the motion-sensing light on Princess (w/pic)
memoak replied to thedawgman's topic in Princess Cruises
But when you leave they will still have to clean it up -
If the CA goes to the crew and you remove CA then you are taking money from crew it doesn’t matter if you call it salary or tips. That is all semantics And yes I have many friends who work on ships who have told me that if enough people remove CA then it affects there total compensation
-
We have sailed on all of them and enjoyed all. For us the longer the cruise the better. We actually have 17 day cruise to Alaska booked for 2025

How-to: Disable the motion-sensing light on Princess (w/pic)
memoak replied to thedawgman's topic in Princess Cruises
I believe the point is that the sticky stuff left will mean more work for the steward to clean up. We just put a rolled up towel against the light by the bed and it doesn’t go on -
I think the concept that CA does not go to crew is a misconception pushed by people who don’t want to pay tips since so many say they will tip who they want but not as much as the CA is

You can always track your drink total on the app when you have a package

Even at $22 it would work for my 10 drinks a day. Princess is even bettet
-
Unless you are prepared to tip everyone in the buffet who gets you a drink or every server in every restaurant and everyone at guest services you does something good for you then you are stiffing lots and lots of employees. There are rayons of people you may never see who make your cruise better are you prepared to just start handing out tips as you walk down the halls ?
-
Who determines what is a risk ? That is up to the cruise line. Some may think my offering vodka to your 18 year old is dangerous even if I don’t

Came back from a 16 day cruise where 4 days were in Hawaii so no gambling those days over 10,000 points and no offer at all

Has anyone noticed a decline in quality of Princess food?
memoak replied to GoHuskies!'s topic in Princess Cruises
You do know there is no Crown Grill on the Coral. The steakhouse there is the Bayou Cafe which has a totally different menu -
I don’t know why anyone would assume that Princess would follow Royal on tips when Royal did not follow Princess on sit down pizza restaurant prices
