Then you would be stuck with set menus every night and good luck getting the times you like. We prefer not to sit in front of a huge piece of meat every night. We also would not give up our large penthouse balconies for anything. As small but steady casino players we get free interiors then upgrade to suites.
On Grand class ships Reserve Class breakfast is in mid ship deck 6. Regular breakfast is deck 6 aft. You can use the end elevators aft to get to the restaurant
I have not seen any news that the plus package price is changing. The premier is going up to $90 per person per day but they added some things. No such news yet about plus I believe that is all speculation
Just get yourself a CVP they can get you the right deal. We almost always get 30-50% off on suites. The off shore casino department is not your best option
I don’t disagree with you about wine but we really only drink wine at dinner and plus covers all of our cocktail preferences so $60 extra per couple on 2-3 week cruises doesn’t really cost out for us.
Vines wines are only available when Vines is open. Most of those wines if not all are not available in other venues. If so with the plus package we just order a wine a little more expensive and pay my the difference. Paying $3-5 is cheap compared to the $30 per day difference per person for premier especially on 14-21 day cruises that we take
You can get and make calls However check your plan about roaming charges. I once had to do a job interview while sailing and my international plan need as we pulled out of Naples and charges did show up. This was on AT&T. I would question your provider hard to believe you wouldn’t need some kind of special plan
The 7 or 10 day dinner menus really don’t change a lot. You might have a few local dishes but even in Alaska they are limited and sometimes have added charges
I can’t remember the winery except that I think it starts with an E. It is listed at Vines at $15. I remember asking at Vines a few weeks ago how many cases they had. I usually had 2-3 glasses a day
I am still waiting for the first cruiser with the new premier plan to be told when they go to book once on ship that they cannot get a table at the time they want I would love to see what happens then. I have seen so many posts from people who easy they can’t eat after 6:00
Even as a suite guest we always call the dine line when we embark rather than just showing up. If the DD managers know you from the past then it might be easier but I do not book that meal in advance
If you are in a full suite it does not matter how many elites are on board dine they get priority over elites. In non suites I have waited 2-3 days often on our long cruises. However we always pack for 7 days so I can put out laundry on day 2 and usually have it back well before I run out of clothes
It is only on the Discovery and the Enchanted because the space was created when the ships were built. To add it to an existing ship you would have to create the space with all the audio visual effects which are unique and tot seen or heard in the rest of the deck
My opinion as well the package are for the cruise as it is booked. If you had b2b cruises booked as two 7 day cruises then you could have 2 different packages
For 1 or 2 I would still recommend either calling the dine line that morning to make sure they can accommodate you. If your are a suite guest you probably have a better chance and always a better chance if you are willing to dine after 8:00
