lw4484 Posted February 5, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Haven't been on the boards in awhile--so long I had to start a new name as I no longer use that email address....so while I haven't been on Princess in a few years I wanna see the secrets to refresh my memory before March cruise and learn of new ones! Here is my input: It's ALWAYS 5 o'clock somewhere! :D On a serious note though: Go check out the top of the bridge. It's very neat to be up there and see the view the capt is seeing and you feel like Kate Winslet in Titanic (minus the boat going under). On the CB it was between decks 15 and 16 and I believe you had to use deck 15 as far fwd as you could and then a half staircase up. DO. NOT. MISS! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorisis Posted February 5, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2014 For OBC buy 100 shares of carnival stock. Buy FCCs while on a cruise. Ask about the credit available to veterans. Book with a TA who offers credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved going up on top of the bridge but on my last 2 cruises that area was closed for the entire cruise. In port or out, windy day or calm. One day even one of the ships photographers was surprised to find that area closed off. I'll try getting up there once again on my next cruise. Hopefully this time it will be open!

sminfiddle Posted February 5, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 5, 2014 The International Cafe coffee bar will make sugar-free flavored coffee drinks, but you have to provide the sugarless flavorings. Bring them onboard still sealed. DW enjoyed sugar-free caramel, hazelnut, cinnamon-vanilla, and Pumpkin Spice lattes, blended with ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadn13 Posted February 7, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Not a big secret but Coffee Cards are a few dollars cheaper if you buy them prior to boarding http://www.princess.com/learn/onboard/gifts_services/Gifts_Services.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacationgogo Posted February 7, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I read on another thread that I can't find something about using the computers in the cafe or library to send out a free email? Can anyone tell me how I would go about doing this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is room for a brief message and you need, of course, to know what E-mail address the recipient has. Below is a screen shot where the upper right shows the "free" links. The screen may look different now, but look for something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damikaan Posted February 8, 2014 #12 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The last Princess cruise I took served warm chocolate chip cookies and cold milk by the pool every day around 3:00. Does anyone know if they still do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if they still do this? I was on the Ruby a few weeks ago and during an evening movie, they walked around offering popcorn, cookies, and even pizza slices.

Kentchikan Posted February 8, 2014 #20 Share Posted February 8, 2014 They were also serving them in the piazza on the Ruby during my late January 2014 cruise On the Grand too and I loved their uniforms. We had a pair that was unused to the job and kept dropping cookies and spilling milk. Still no use crying over it (spilled milk that is).;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screen may look different now, but look for something similar. Be careful of this one.....I would ask anyone I would send one of those 'e-post cards' permission to send one before cruising. Once you sent it, you've subjected your friends to additional 'mailings' from Princess, and who-knows-who else...... Just like any 'free' offer you might see on the internet...they are 'paying' to get your email address.;) Edited February 9, 2014 by bob brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen spam or unwanted emails. Don't knock it until you've tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
