Burning Question: How much should I tip if I ask for salted butter??? 🙄

Is the real salted butter include in the Plus package  ?  (🤪)

More please 🤩💗🤩

Just received an email asking me to fill out a survey.  All questions related to the offers and booking the offers.

I completed the survey and also let them know that the offers have gotten worse.

I got the same survey email too

We are on the Sky for that same cruise in June - so excited! It feels like the ship is going to be pretty full. People are wanting to get to the fjords before the large ship restrictions go into effect. 

The Sky was the 2nd time for us to the north cape, the first was on the Crown in 2010,, The fjords and Norway in general are absolutely beautiful, and we would do it again in a heart beat !!

Well we do love Alaska! Considering a cruise in September if we can make it work - it's between that and a New England cruise, but we do love going out of San Francisco and saving the flying part. I'm not holding out much hope for our Norway cruise this summer - it's looking like a very popular choice!

FYI we did the "Midnight Sun" to Norway on the Sky in Aug 2022 and the ship sailed with only 2400 passengers , and the MTL cut off was 575

The bars were removed from the  casinos of the Enchanted and Sky 

 And Discovery

Concur, downtown IMO is the only way to go, we've stayed at the DT Marriott a couple of times and the location is fine for walking everywhere DT . If you rent a car midtown area hotels are fine also

Bus fare to/from the cruiseport to the Malecon will cost Pesos 10,- per person per ride. Not all drivers will accept US$.

Take the bus with Centro or Olas altas in the window, not the one with Tunel in the window.

On the return the one with hotels, airport or Ixtapa in the window. Be aware there 2 Walmarts, so check that you take the right one.

Uber indeed will work, but you have to go outside of the port to get one.

Last year I recall a regular cita taxi outside the gates to Centro, or back to Walmart from downtown was 80 pesos, is it still 80 this year too ?

You will probably get attacked because the Princess apologists never see anything even remotely wrong with the way Princess does business nowadays.  It has been our experience in the last year that Princess has been on a downward spiral in many areas.  The first that comes to mind is that horrible call center they use in the Philippines.  Also, Elite perks have been cut, menus have been cut, level of quality entertainers has been cut and the list goes on and on from the quality experience Princess use to always provide.

Ditto !

Pretty much our experience lately too

I wonder if they'll just flat out raise the price 18% for Australian cruises since the ships in OZ are supposed to have no gratuities for Aussie's ?

The Staff member also set up both of our iPhones on WiFi, so very helpful. You also get a $10 refund each. And beware that you might be charged for initial drinks until the system records Plus. Crew Chat or Guest Services will remove these charges on request.

What's the $10 refund for ?

I've never been on a ship that didn't have bags to put merchandise in to carry back to my stateroom.  You are saying that none of the shops onboard the ship had bags to put purchased items in?  

 Just off the Royal transpacific 2 days ago-- NO SHOPPING BAGS anywhere on the ship -- Felt like shopping a flea market

It has come to my attention that one of our members has passed.  Geoff or @GUT2407as he was known here had another major  medical episode and did not survive. He will be sorely missed. My condolences to his family and of course Maxie.

Sadly, over the years we've lost a lot of pleasant, and helpful members here, GUT was and will always be fondly remembered here on CC

Sad to say .... But all this onboard internet purchase planning is of course contingent on there being actual usable internet available once onboard 🤪

Your fact is wrong. I have played 1,000 dollars of free play and accumulated points for years. I have.$600 free play on a 4 day cruise this year I will bet I have points

OK good luck .. 

But please ... One favor after your upcoming $600 FF cruise PLEASE come back and correct your post and admit you made a mistake .

Before starting your FF session PLEASE as your host about FF points, and then as I said please do the right thing on return post cruise and correct your post for the good of the thread, and correct information on CC

if you are playing the "free play account money" you do not accumulate points

 

You are 100% correct , no points on "free play" slot wagers, only the accumulated cash winnings during the free play session. Regardless of what anyone says or remembers here about their previous Free Play sessions, there are no points awarded on Princess Ships slots for Free Play wagers --- THIS IS A FACT.

Of course it’s all about profits .. it is a business, after all.  
As for Alfredo’s, the only ship that I know that only serves pizza and calzones is on the Grand.  The Alfredo’s on the Royal has just as many options as GiGis does on the Discovery.  

Sapphire too..

y'all can have the CB ... Caribbean Princess - maybe Princess will then relocate at least a Royal class ship to Port Canaveral

Better yet, give them the old and tired Grand 😁

I believe that you are confusing the arrangements for Hilo and Kona, the two cruise ports on the Big Island. In Hilo, ships dock at Pier 1 in the Port of Hilo, but in Kona, ships anchor offshore from Kailua Bay and tender passengers to the Kailua Pier, which is in front of the Courtyard by Marriott hotel.

 

 

 

Exactly right 😎

Does anyone know what the price to do this is if you’re not a suite guest?  We have done this once as a guest of one of the officers but just curious if there’s been a price yet.  I know it’s an offer if you’re a suite guest but can’t find anything for a cost if you’re not or wether it would even be offered.  

Remains Invitation Only 

Good lucky calling... With the oversea's call center the people who answer your call have ABSOLUTELY NO authoity to make any changes or concessions on any offers or requirements for future or existing bookings, so if it doesn't appear exactly as written on the computer screen in front of them it doesn't happen

I am sure their prices may have gone up a little since Nov 2022, but I found them to be quite reasonable. We had $90 OBC to spend over 10 days on frivolities and I had a fancy coffee every day.

 

 

 

The only sugar free syrup they had was unflavored.

Sorry... Prices up more than a little... As example the $2.00 small Americano in your menu photo is now $3.50
