We were in covid jail in the Royal August 30. Then 6 days quarantine in Vancouver hotel. Had the push our CVP to escalate but finally got all FCC’s for time in isolation, $100 pp per day for Vancouver cruise quarantine and full reimbursement for hotel cost. You probably need to push to escalate or you may be waiting a long time

We have always been able to upgrade from the “free” balcony to a full suite and add Princess Plus. We do 2-3 of these cruises every year. In fact we are embarking today in San Francisco for a 10 day Mexico trip. Full suite, Princess Plus and $1,250 free play between us

Not my experience. We generally eat at 8:30, 1:00 and 7:30 or 8:30. Never had a problem finding food

This has never been an issue for me. I always can select a cabin and in fact just did it 3 weeks ago for a VIP casino cruise in June

We book 2-3 “free” casino cruises every year and have never had any canceled. Yes we get the stupid notice but payment always comes in around 10-14 days before the cruise. Packing now for a cruise on Tuesday medallions in hand and $1,250 in casino free play between the 2 of ud

I would doubt it would be super low as most sell out at full price

There is a tab on the main screen marked Dining. Each days menus show there. Makes it easy to know if you want to go to MDR or not

At 8:45.disembarkation would not even be over no way to board anyone. Still have not been turned away no matter when we arrive at 11:00

You should have been able to see the menus on your tv

In August with ArriveCAN we got through border crossing in seconds

We mask mostly in crowded situations like elevators and crowded shows. When we are sitting at a bar, eating or playing slots we do not mask. We have always hated the buffet so all of our dinners are in MDR (club class) lunch usually out on deck for burgers but some times IC We did get covid last trip in August but think it was probably the MTP on the first leg of a b2b when we were seated with a couple we didn’t know. Sailing next week on the Ruby will probably play it by ear

Pilot / Flight Attendent

Just look at your travel summary at Princess website. If it doesn’t show there then talk to your TA. We always print a copy of the summary to avoid arguments with the casino regarding amount of free play

By the way it is 15 drinks if you can stay awake. I usually stick to wine with meals, maybe a beer with lunch, manhattan’s pre dinner and Lynchburg Lemonade in the casino

Like has anyone been asked to see a boarding time. I haven’t

And maybe clarify what they mean as guest laundry

We got Paxlovid on board in August on the Royal. Pills cost $750 but the are also blood tests to rule out kidney issues and doctors fee. I paid just over $1,000. My health care provider reimbursed me when I returned

If you wait for Princess to get the FCC’s to you it will take forever. We bugged our CVP who escalated it and it still took 2 months. In our case we had to quarantine in Canada per their laws Hotel and meals close to $5,000 and just got that back last week. Still waiting on checks for our casino winnings since you can’t cash out from isolation

They can probably handle it since there are only a few of you. On the Royal it looked like most of port side Dolphin deck was filled

This is way different from my experience on the Royal where we never heard from medical once we tested positive. Thrown into isolation with hundreds of others, Pilates of dishes pile up for days outside the cabin etc. probably due to how many were quarantined. There were so many of us that when we disembarked the line wound all the way around prom deck

I doubt doctors would prescribe this without you having covid

I would not try to track a zoom class on ships internet way to unreliable. It is fine to check on email and check news but I wouldn’t commit to beyond that. Giving up passports depends on itinerary. I have had to give them up on some transatlantic cruises depending on ports

Paxlovid puts a real strain on livers and / or kidneys so they have to make sure it won’t make things worse

We always test before boarding even if not required and take some tests with us and test if we feel I’ll. This is what we have always done since cruising restarted. Got covid on the Royal in August. Hope the antibodies and recent booster keep us safe next week on the Ruby

Yes it will be cool. Yes like a trip to Hawaii
