I think Princess does activities and laundry better. Laundry machines were free to use. If you pack your own detergent and sheets it costs nothing which is great on a longer trip. They had lots of activities daily and the location of the movies was better on Princess. As for evening shows I liked Celebrity better. Food for me was better on Celebrity. I can’t have wheat or dairy and finding food was not fun on Princess. The buffet area was way smaller than Celebrity and did not have a Gluten Free area. The desserts at dinner were great and better than Celebrity. It’s too bad as Princess has a back section of the buffet that could be made a gluten free and dairy free area without much trouble. Some mornings I could get a hard boiled egg and other days none were available. It was the same for PB for the toast. I had to eat it plain some mornings as they ran out of PB. I did not have luck with the chef at the buffet, part way through the cruise I found out that gluten free muffins could be made. Well I asked the next morning after she said she would have something for me tomorrow and nobody seemed to know but eventually I was given 4 little muffins. They tasted great but at that point I was so sick of eating the same thing for breakfast. Found out later there was something in them as I spent the rest of the day and evening burping. It could have been worse but was not fun. That was the last time I asked for anything special. Celebrity also made mistakes and gave me regular milk when I ordered almond or soy milk. They also gave me a delicious chocolate dessert a few times and I did question them as it was so hard to believe it was dairy free. I found out at the end of the cruise that it had whipping cream in it when they gave me the recipe.

Do you have the latest version on your phone/tablet? This is my first Princess cruise so I don’t know if they have someone to help at check in. I would guess they would but check in would take a lot longer.

Thanks so much. It says I’m not eligible at this time. I had already signed up for lots of communication. I didn’t realize I could check for upgrades without an email.

That's what I thought. We were suppose to go two years ago but thanks to Covid, we couldn't. Now the one has aged out of the teen club.

I'm not sure how they decide on who gets bid options. I was hoping we would get one for our cruise that is sailing next week but nothing. I have been checking and I did see a lot of verandah cabins open up a few days ago, as months ago the cruise was full. Is it worth checking when we get onboard about paying to upgrade?

Does anyone know if numbers are low for the teen area if they would let a sibling that is 19 go with her sister? I know most cruise lines are quite struct on the age limits.

Not sure what issues you are having but you may also want to try eliminating Dairy from your diet. I never had any digestive issues but went to a Naturopath about my asthma. He did testing and gave me a list of foods to avoid. I noticed a short white later that I wasn’t having asthma attacks when people were smoking outside near me. He said most people shouldn’t be consuming dairy..

That is why my sister is in the green lane and I am in the blue. I haven’t added a credit card to my account.

I have never heard of getting off on embarkation day after boarding. I have heard of people dropping off their luggage at the pier and then checking out the city and then boarding on embarkation day.

Measure his wrist and then search on Amazon. The one's I bought for myself, sister and nieces goes up to 7.08". They also have ones that clip to belt loops, purses, etc. These go up to 8" - https://a.co/d/fHsEE0v Clip kind - https://a.co/d/eldms4p

I bought these for us a few months ago. Amazon has so many choices. https://a.co/d/1wGDRLI

We booked with the beverage package (regular one) and I thought I remember seeing that it included mugs. Would that be just for the kids or the adults too? Does anyone have any photos of the mugs as this is our first Princess Cruise. TIA

They may offer bids for each category to see if anyone cancels last minute because of Covid. Then if you bid you might get that cabin. Princess might want to get as much money as possible. Leaving nicer cabins empty is not good for them. I would bit if offered and I could afford the price. I would be fine not knowing until we board if the bid cabin was mine.

We booked an obstructed oceanview cabin a couple years ago and were upgraded shortly after Covid to a deluxe balcony. Of course we cancelled and Princess had to cancel anyways as everything shutdown. We re-booked but are still in our obstructed oceanview and it doesn't look like any upgrades this time. Sorry late at night, we did not book guarantee cabins either cruise.
