We have CC on the 26th June cruise because DH (Dear Husband) wanted to try it out. Nope, no Club Class for us, maybe one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you prefer one of the other? The app gives the option of both rooms. Thanks to all the comments. It’s great for learning more. On our first cruise we didn’t go to the MDR very often as there were issues with communication and expectations within the group we were with. I want to make the most of this cruise and I’m not sure if I should start booking for the MDR and what times to book for the different days. I want to push myself outside my comfort zone and meet more people. We love MDR as often as we can ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MDR is far more relaxing. I'm looking forward to trying the suite breakfast in Sabatinis too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did Club Class on the Ruby 2020 because it was an amazing price, we literally booked 3 weeks before sailing (as we had just sold our house and promised ourselves a cruise to relax afterwards LOL). We loved it. This time resuming cruising we have a suite for 4 B2B which we think is cheaper than going into a nice hotel for a couple of weeks, given that everything is included. Cruise bargain hunting is a popular pastime lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morning - another one to add to your Q&A if you will - please; Cabin power points - are they US/EU, or did they manage to add an AUS outlet? You may have to talk to the “common folk” in balcony and oceanview etc to double check - though if your suite doesn’t have AU outlet, pretty sure no other cabins will 🙄 Even a photo for the “non believers” (sure they have been changed to AU) will help the cause 🤞 Thanks in advance 🤗 (if this is on your ‘to check’ list already, please ignore 😎) Cheers, Rose.

I'm 99% certain there will be one AU socket in each cabin, plus US sockets. Every cruise ship I've been on has had two power circuits - 120v US and 220v. The 220v usually has European socket faceplates but on Princess ships these get switched over to AU ones. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the common types of power points used by the Chinese is the same as ours. So Majestic had them from the start. They tend to use it upside down, but it's electrically and physically the same.
