Many of the reasons that I hardly ever use the service I walk up to a bar and order a drink and there are tons of places to walk up and get food on all ships
Unless you want to get off real early it is rarely an issue after an hour or 2 and why book an excursion unless it is something you really want. We rarely book ship tours unless they go pretty far away from the ship
I really don’t want to have a whole bunches of medallions floating around the house for 4-6 cruises I have booked for the next year or so. Things like that tend to get lost
When we left a vm because she was off for her birthday we received a callback in about 24 hours. When she is gone on a cruise she usually leaves an option to be transferred to what she calls the back office which answered right away
That was not a CVP but the ONE marketers. I only go through my personal CVP and stay away from these jokers who also run the future cruise department on board ships
I guess you can have your own definition of anything but any google search will tell you that there are 2 hemispheres east and Westley based on the prime meridian
And all of Central and South America are part of the Western Hemisphere So by your definition a RT FLL that visits Columbus is a closed loop cruise requiring a passport. Please check the definition of Western Hemisphere
What you are describing is Traditional dining like the old days where a dining room has 2 dining times with large tables of mixed passengers. That is not an option right now but per Princess press releases will be available later this year
Sometimes I think people make assumptions based on what some has posted or said. Not all closed loop cruises can be done with a birth certificate. For example partial Panama cruise RT Fort Lauderdale goes to Columbia. I know that you need a valid passport for that country
What this means is that you did not read the press release which makes it clear that this is an on board experience manufactured for the passengers. There is actually no attempt to fabricate snything
