Mike45LC Posted February 10, 2022 #79 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Back to the Afternoon Tea: I checked the Patters from my last cruise (pre-Covid). The Royal Princess served afternoon tea EVERY afternoon (except Embarkation Day) from 3 to 4 pm in the Concerta Dining Room. Even on port days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That covers the entire deposit for another cruise. (You should have one for each passenger.) In addition to that you get onboard credit which varies depending on the length of your voyage and your cabin type. OBC From FCD 3 - 6 Days $15 Inside, $15 Outside, $25 Balcony, $25 Suite 7 - 10 Days $25 Inside, $25 Outside, $50 Balcony, $50 Suite 11 - 16 Days $75 Inside, $75 Outside, $100 Balcony, $100 Suite 17 + Days $125 Inside, $125 Outside, $150 Balcony, $150 Suite If you cruise out of Australia, your OBC gets converted to Australian dollars, which reduces your benefit a bit at current exchange rates. Found out the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Any refundable OBC over $25 is mailed to you by check (some think it's junk mail, so be careful what you throw away). If it's $25 or less, go to Pass. Svcs near the last day to cash it out. If you forget, you lose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the timeline that you need to either use them or get refunded? Believe it is two years. It works like magic, they just appear back in your credit card. Don't need to do anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nini Posted February 14, 2022 #85 Share Posted February 14, 2022 On 2/9/2022 at 3:18 PM, Mike45LC said: Kmkub, wait until you try to enjoy tea in your cabin before you praise it. Unless you are in a mini-suite or better, there is no place to sit to enjoy high tea in the cabin. At least on the Royal class ships, the standard balconies are so small that there is no room to enjoy tea outside. So I will stick with tea in the dining rooms or at the buffet. Even if there is no clotted cream. Some balconies are the larger ones on the Royal. Some include our favorite aft balconies on the Dolphin deck.

Cruise Starter Posted May 16, 2022 #86 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Not exactly a secret but the crème brûlée is no longer a Princess Favourite on every evening menu. A secret I take advantage of is the availability of a daily Sudoku and a second word puzzle every day in the Library. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuedon Posted May 16, 2022 #87 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Huh? Creme brulee shows up as a Princess Favorite every night on the Island, still. At least, it was there for the last few nights. ... Wasn't very good, though. (The macaron on one of them was so hard it shattered when I bit into it.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of March, word puzzles, Sudoku and the Wake Show response forms were gone from the library due to Covid. The libraries were empty shelves, well, a few boxes of games. Paper is hard to find anywhere. Not even notepads or pens in the cabins. Pack a Sudoku book from a dollar type store if you like them on paper.

We are only Platinum members so far but are staying in a full Suite on the next cruise. Wife and I love High Tea! Yes you can request afternoon tea in your full suite. I believe you need to order it by morning for same day delivery. Check when you get in to your suite what the rules are. It’s been a while for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruzin4us Posted May 16, 2022 #94 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Because the walls and ceiling are made of metal, magnets stick really well to them. Invest in some of these heavy duty magnets, they work so well. We hang our beach bags, lanyards, hats, shoe holders from them. Make sure to get the 100# magnets. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B075J9WNSY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We asked a crew member to point us to the tea sandwiches, and they were some sort of roast beef thing on a Hawaiian roll. There were no scones. We are going on the Regal in three weeks. Hopefully can do it at least once. I heard it is in one of the MDR’s. I watched a you-tube video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
