IECalCruiser Posted June 9, 2016 #51 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Do suite passengers get bars of soap and containers of shampoo instead of the stuff in the shower dispensers?Suite and Elite passengers get the upgraded amenities including 2oz tubes of lotion, shower gel and conditioning shampoo. On the last cruise we also got a tube of conditioner. The eucalyptus scented product was discontinued several years ago so there is less issue with the scent. All passengers should have a small bar of soap at the sink and larger bars of soap are available for the shower. Even though individual products are available, there are still dispensers of the shower gel and conditioning shampoo in the shower stall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IECalCruiser Posted June 15, 2016 #55 Share Posted June 15, 2016 What is the attire in the specialty restaurants on the first night?Attire is smart casual all nights, including formal nights. At $29/person it is getting to be a pricy option to avoid bringing appropriate clothes for the MDR for formal night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseclan Posted September 9, 2016 #56 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Can you go to Share for the first night dinner in a suite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzrbachoua Posted September 9, 2016 #57 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Yes you can play Host in your suite to any number of passengers (Princess likes to get more people exposed to the Suite life of course!). Sminfiddle..does this mean on one night we can order dinner from the MDR for us and another couple and have it delivered to our room and eat on the balcony for free...vs doing the UBD?

JF - retired RRT Posted September 9, 2016 #58 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Can you go to Share for the first night dinner in a suite? Yes. Share is a "specialty" restaurant. Sminfiddle..does this mean on one night we can order dinner from the MDR for us and another couple and have it delivered to our room and eat on the balcony for free...vs doing the UBD? Yes. You can eat dinner every night in your suite, if you want. The biggest drawback is ALL the food is delivered at the same time and there's no microwave. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted September 9, 2016 #59 Share Posted September 9, 2016 As for the advice to book the first night complementary specialty reservations ASAP after boarding...what is the best way to do this? Thanks! Go straight to to the restaurant after boarding and book it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzrbachoua Posted September 10, 2016 #61 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Ok my dh is now really excited. ..still can't believe that we can order food for 4 of us from mdr to eat in our cabin or balcony every night even though only 2 of us are staying in it. ..our friends will love us.

cruzrbachoua Posted September 10, 2016 #62 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Saw something on princess site that said the extended in room dining off the mdr was for suite passengers only..so I just wanted to verify that we could order dinner every night and have it brought to the suite for all 4 of us when only me and dh are actually in the suite? Are friends will be in the premium balcony connecting to our suite. Thought it would be nice to celebrate our anniversary with them in our suite and have private dinners in our room. ...

IECalCruiser Posted September 11, 2016 #63 Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) We have found that even though the entrees come with a metal cover, entrees still cool off while eating any appetizers/soup/salads you may have ordered. Also, if you order a soufflé or a frozen dessert you should order that separately although you could store a frozen dessert in the mini fridge. If we are in a suite again we will order starters, then entrees and then often dessert and we will tip for each delivery as we always do with room service. We haven't ordered meals but we have ordered afternoon tea for four people served in our suite. Others have posted photos of meals with 6-8 people in a suite.

Sent from my SM-G900P using Forums mobile app That might have been the case but I have definitely seen photos of food from the MDR for 6-8 people and not a UBD. It was all delivered at one time and spread out on the dining table in an Owner's Suite. It was several years ago.

Papa Yoda Posted September 11, 2016 #70 Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) Saw something on princess site that said the extended in room dining off the mdr was for suite passengers only..so I just wanted to verify ... Ditto what Inland Empire said. Given that you could order as many entrees for just the two of you as you wanted, it makes no difference. We've also had Afternoon Tea for 4 and no quibbles (there was more food for Tea than we could eat!). And you can indeed stagger your orders for the courses, they even recommend ordering the souffles or ice cream with the right timing before you'd want it. I think there is Room Service staff dedicated to suites (at least during normal meal times). Enjoy! PS please fix your location...

AF-1 Posted September 11, 2016 #71 Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) Soprano, once you board you can either pick up your stateroom phone and call directly to make reservation; or stop by the venue and make your reservation.

cruzrbachoua Posted September 11, 2016 #72 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Great thank you all. We are really looking forward to this. So are you saying we should place the order for each course or place just the dessert course separate? So new to all this pampering! Ferd who was the fix location for me or another poster? I am using the app, but swore my location on the web posted as San Diego. .. Sent from my SM-G900P using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI Cassandra!!! Yes, absolutely. Other replies about afternoon tea are correct as well. Order for as many as you want to host. Just think about what perfect MARKETING it is for Princess to allow Suite passengers to show off their suite as much as possible. You could host tea parties for 12 and breakfasts for 10 and dinners for 8, every day, and they will be more than delighted to enable you! Wow. ..interesting info...now to decide if the extra things that come with the UBD are worth it to pay or if we should just call and order for the 4 of us. The price of the UBD is exactly the total of the Photography item, the Florist item, the Champagne Split, the cocktail (and something else escaping my mind ATM.) Everything except the (fixed-menu) food. You can add it up. A Maitre d' told me that this is how they price the UBD, the Ultimate Ship's Tour, the Chef's Table and they write off the food/labor as a very effective Marketing expense. What this means to your decision is, if there's any one item that doesn't thrill you, like getting two portraits and two bouquets, or the chosen food selections for UBD that day, it may be better to order MDR Dinner and stagger ordering dessert. We did an interesting customized UBD-for-5 by combining the UBD with some MDR items - so we could get some Beef Wellington and escargot at our UBD!!

All weekend I thought about your handle and thought it sounded familiar. I asked DH if he remembered the name and he too thought it was familiar. Never got on a proper computer to research my old threads. How funny, such a small world. How have you been? Yeah that settles it we will be doing just normal dinner in our cabin except for 1 night we will dress as we are also going to renew our vows on that trip. So only need to pack 1 formal and no casual dinner wear...whoohoo! Which is good as we plan on doing this in Alaska and doing the land tour first so the less we have to pack for that the better since I know they split the luggage "meet at ship" and "follow me". We really don't need the flowers and we can take our own pics and possibly ask the waiter to take a group pic with our own camera. Only 1 in our group drinks and even she said she could just go to one of the bars and grab her cocktail or glass of wine for the dinner or if she brings wine aboard bring her own bottle over to drink vs spending the $100 for the drink and flowers and pic. We are really looking forward to a different type of cruise with a more intimate dining in our cabin with our good friends. yeah! :D We are also going to do the UST but will probably do that on a different sailing...you know got to spread out all the neat things and not lump them all into one sailing!

IECalCruiser Posted September 12, 2016 #75 Share Posted September 12, 2016 We were in a suite for two weeks in Alaska and ate in our suite on formal nights. We had the filet and shrimp one night and the beef Wellington and lobster and prawns the other night each week. No packing for formal nights. We have also eaten in specialty restaurants on all formal nights. On other occasions I packed my tux and DW her fancy clothes and did up formal night properly.
