Call Princess or your TA and ask.

I repeat...that wasn't the only reason. I just threw that comment in. My point was that the lunch menu is not to my liking and expectations for Princess.

Yes. Smaller and not as many choices IMHO.

10:30ish.

The "discount" is for the $10 charge to mail the medallion.

It was on the Discovery.

Double post

As @Rick&Jeannie posted, be sure to check your laptop transformer (or paperwork) to verify that it's 120V only. If you use a converter when it isn't needed, you could still cause damage to your laptop. Many years ago...I had a patient on CPAP (pre dual voltage machines) that required a fuse to be changed to allow for 220V. I gave the patient the fuses and explained what to do when she got to Europe for her 2 week vacation. The first night in her hotel, she requested and got a converter from the hotel. It killed her CPAP. She ended up without a CPAP for 2 weeks.

That wasn't the only reason...just the one for this thread.

Yes. The Paella and Baked Potato would be the rotating items. Although, we didn't see them on our cruise.

Yes. The Cobb salad is good. I had it once with salmon. DH had it once and was very disappointed...not his idea of a Cobb salad.

Guess you never know what it will be like, until you get to the port. Just boarded the Discovery in San Pedro and the blue line was "out the door". The green line was not a line since there was almost no one in that line.

We just completed a 7-day cruise and were totally not impressed with the new lunch menu. We were so not impressed that we're cancelling a 54-day cruise. Can't imaging going on a cruise for 54 days with the same thing for lunch every day. There are 2 items that rotate on and off the menu, but the majority is the same every...single...day. Of the always available items, half were things that neither of us would eat. On 2 days we gave up and went to the buffet. That was not much help. On both days, the carving station had baked chicken and pork roast. What has happened to variety? It used to be hard to decide what to eat...not anymore. Sadly disappointed in this new menu.

That's so not true. The PVP that I use told me that he could "protect" the cabin that I chose, cancel and rebook for a lower price or to use a newly purchased Future Cruise Deposit.

That's not the usual format for an email from someone at Princess. It's usually first initial/last name @ Princess.com. Example: jsmith@Princess.com

As a general rule...balconies have a small door that can be opened to connect the cabins on either side. However, if the cabins are at a fire break (noted by a change in numbers, i.e. on Discovery A442 and A502 are next to each other). You can tell it's a fire break by the change in numbering and the hallway has a door noted. There is not balcony opening between those cabins.

Sounds like it. Never give info to someone that you don't know if you didn't initiate the call.

You could do several things... call one of the PVPs who have tried to contact you call the call center and wait on hold try contacting "chat" (doesn't seem to be working all that well recently) Once you're on the ship ask around and see if anyone has recommendations for someone who is reliable.

Kind of on the same subject...has anyone who is Elite ordered afternoon tea for your cabin? Does that count as a "room service" charge?

That looks pretty definite.

There are only 2 Grand class ships that have window suites, they're located on deck 5 mid-forward. There are only 7 and they book up fast. Some Royal class ships have window suites, some do not (from what I could find on the deck plans). When they have them...there are only 2 on each ship. They're located on the Sky deck (17) and are all the way forward. Many don't like the high deck/forward location.

Who is/are Holand and holdand? I'm confused.

I think "premium" is location more than size of cabin. ??

Just make sure you play at least some amount of time. As others have stated...the casino is not an ATM. If you try to use it like that, your casino account could be locked.
