bicoastalbabe Posted November 12, 2011 #1202 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Our best tip:One of the dining rooms will be open for lunch on embarkation day although you are usually directed to the buffet. We think the dining room is a better experience and starts the cruse off perfectly. Until what time would a dining room be open? That sounds like a great idea!

floridarob Posted November 13, 2011 #1203 Share Posted November 13, 2011 We just got back from the Golden to Hawaii. We asked to see the menus for the cruise and were told that they only have them for the next night. However, when we asked about a particular night (namely our anniversary), they provided the menu the next morning. So, at least on some ships (maybe longer than a week cruise?), you cannot see all the menus for the cruise in order to determine where you want to dine. Yeah, you can see the menus for the entire cruise... if the Head Waiter doesn't provide them ask for the Maitre d'..... I worked on this ship...

paul929207 Posted November 13, 2011 #1209 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I am not sure that Lemoncello could be considered a secret. They come to the table trying to sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanilla Posted November 13, 2011 #1210 Share Posted November 13, 2011 For an Alaska cruise, out of Seattle, where would be a good place to purchase wine to take on the ship that is close to the ship or downtown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msk1 Posted November 13, 2011 #1211 Share Posted November 13, 2011 You can exchange any of the travel agent's gifts for onboard credit. Does this include the complimentary bottle of wine? We are non-drinkers and would appreciate this trade. msk1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belevedere Posted November 13, 2011 #1212 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Thanks for info on leaving TV on as I am worried about 104 days in inside cabin. 1 week inside passage inside was scary enough for me to always book even obstructed but this time only available (next to laundromat).

mrspaper Posted November 13, 2011 #1213 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Does this include the complimentary bottle of wine?

I know you can trade for a drink, hopefully you can trade for something else. You can let your TA know you are non drinkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denali2003 Posted November 15, 2011 #1214 Share Posted November 15, 2011 For an Alaska cruise, out of Seattle, where would be a good place to purchase wine to take on the ship that is close to the ship or downtown? The Public Market area. That is also THE BEST place to buy flowers. OMG, they are beautiful AND affordable. A HUGE bouquet that you would find locally for $50 - you can get for $15- $20. They are really beautiful. I didn't see any wine places - but we don't drink, but I'm sure it's there. You can also go to the 1st Starbucks there. The Public Market place is really cool. You should make time to go there. We did. We had a good time. We just wish we had more time. Not sure how close it is to downtown or the pier - our hotel took us there and then to the ship. Our hotel was near the Space Needle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't drink wine and they let us trade for soda which was perfect for my dh. Call room service when you get to your cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennygirl Posted November 15, 2011 #1218 Share Posted November 15, 2011 You can exchange any of the travel agent's gifts for onboard credit. This is really good to know as I was not aware of this. Last cruise we left our TA's bottle of wine card on the table for our waiter. I hope he got to use it! I would be more than happy to exchange wine for a frozen pina colada!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If using a carry on, you can't have one that has a knife attached. My room steward tends to bring me a better one than I bring. I usually bring a cheap plastic one.

silvercruiser Posted November 15, 2011 #1220 Share Posted November 15, 2011 To get OBC for a TA's gift, just take the card to the purser's desk, (Information Desk), show them the card and say you'd like OBC instead of the gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you are new to CC. On the boards, click Princess, Click Caribbean Princess, click your sail date and you will be on "that" thread. You can ask there. If no thread is started, you can start one. There is a place that says, start new thread. You would put your sail date for that thread heading. I hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
