Rare mdgary Posted March 16, 2023 Author #26 Share Posted March 16, 2023 15 hours ago, just G said: I have not cruised with Princess in many many years. Can you explain the “extra charge” please? I’m not quite sure what your asking but can tell you that the Specialty restaurants (Crown grill, Sabatinis and Seafood bar) have a “extra charge” which I think is around $30 or so. And if you have the plus plan/drink package any drink over $15 you are charged the balance of the cost over 15. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnd crsr Posted March 16, 2023 #27 Share Posted March 16, 2023 We are on this cruise as well. This is our 5th cruise post- covid and find it very crowded and noisy..Our other 4 cruises were not at full capacity. Lots of family groups this time. Today is Amber Cove and the morning started off with pouring rain, seems to be easing up, but extra onboard activities are being added as many are remaining on the ship. Yesterday (San Juan) we went to a beach and arrived back at the ship with rain. I feel badly for the kids aboard that were looking forward to beach visits. The person with the medical emergency is okay and recovering in Hospital I was told be a reliable source. We have the plus package, drinks up to$15 and as stated they add on the extra.We have been very happy with the MDR food and have a reserved table each evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell me which beach you went to? What type of transportation that you used? Did you have loungers? We go in about 2.5 weeks and seeking beach options. Up here in the NE and looking forward to this cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transport was mini bus. There were plenty of loungers & umbrellas. The kids loved the beach,good surf. We found the music around the pool far too loud (I wore earplugs) Food and beverages were for purchase. Hope you enjoy your cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closest by far is El Escambron https://sanjuanpuertorico.com/balneario-el-escambron-beach-san-juan-puerto-rico/ On this same listing you will find a couple of other beaches that are close to SJ. El escambrón is pretty protected by close rocks which is a plus. All of these beaches are in the north, and for the last several weeks there have been rip tide warnings. Be mindful of this, because its a serious thing. Several tourists have died already because they do not heed the warnings. Not trying to scare, but to warn you so that you have a safe and enjoyable day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukgirl22 Posted March 17, 2023 #44 Share Posted March 17, 2023 We are sailing this itinerary on April 9th, all excursions we wanted in Grand Turks were booked and nothing available. What can you suggest? It seems to be a small island so maybe we will just find a local that can take us around, what do you suggest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
