Casual dining options with different packages
triple7tahoe replied to triple7tahoe's topic in Princess Cruises
We were hosting family for their first ever cruise-We are dedicated Princess folks so bragged about how much they were going to like the cruise. Unfortunately I suffered a major stroke three weeks before the cruise. Through hard work I was able join them. I was confined to a wheelchair with very limited mobility. MDR was never a problem-actually fantastic in their ability to find accessible seating. Horizon Court made it impossible for me to carry plate-DW carried the plate but not allowed to get near food. There was sign saying they would "plate food" for those that needed.-Never offered!! AS for The Salty Dog they messed up three of our orders and when they arrived they were 30 minutes between different orders-A third was wrong when they arrived. Without notice they switched the wine myDW had ordered to a different red wine, The bar *Wheelhouse didn't have the specific wine DW ordered so they sent a different RED 😞 -
Casual dining options with different packages
triple7tahoe replied to triple7tahoe's topic in Princess Cruises
We were with another couple that had premier package with unlimited casual meals. The one night we went to Salty Dog with them was a total "goat rope-total disaster. Vines cheese board was pathetic leaving nothing for the one of us in a wheelchair since horizon court is not wheel chair friendly. Seemed like a waste-certainly not value added to package prices! -

We just returned from a 16 day cruise on the Ruby Princes-Hawaii from Vancouver RT. Part our group purchased the top Package while others bought the standard $15 a day package. Both included at least two "casual dining options per person. Is it just me or are others having a difficult time finding "casual dining options that are usuable? (especially since Alfredo's has been taken off many ship. IMHO Salty Dog is not worth the time.

2024 princess shipwide savings coupon booklet
triple7tahoe replied to truffles68's topic in Princess Cruises
We are looking at the same coupons, and I agree about the wine. Casino $10 after playing $20 worked for us (both) as I look at the coupons, it does say only one casino coupon per stateroom. -

Princess Plus or Princess Premier for a wine drinker?
triple7tahoe replied to daveo6313's topic in Princess Cruises
Do you happen to remember the Zin? My wife has found that most reds in the plus package are not very good and often pays to upgrade to Sergisio and Chronology. WE will taking relatives on an upcoming cruise to Hawaii and I keep telling my wife to let them make their own decision. As somebody said "Wine is subjective" -
We have found that no matter what table one gets assigned, there often is one person(couple) that think telling the officer they are sitting with all the things they have found wrong on the ship. Three or four of our last cruises we were fortunate enough to be sitting with the Captain and one those was a Captain we have known for 14+ years. He came by a couple of nights later to our dinner table (MDR) and we tried to apologize for one VERY loud couple that had been at the luncheon with us. He said that we would be surprised at the number of folks that felt the luncheon was their opportunity to "vent". He told us he would see us in April on a Hawaii cruise; I will find out more then 🙂

Next time any of you get invited to one of these, keep an eye on the Captain. Most of the other officers will not leave before he does, It is always a challenge to try and keep the Captain talking and look around the room to see the others who just might be squirming to get away. 🙂

It looks like there are at least three groups on here 🙂 I was the one who suggested Marco Fortezze would be aboard for our RT Van/Hawaii cruise. Now I am as confused as the rest. When we were on the Sky with him recently, he told us (as he was leaving the ship), he would be seeing us on the Ruby-That he would join in SF on the way to Vancouver. At the time, I thought that was strange as he had been replacing Heiki Laakkonen on the Sky on a regular basis?

Mobility Scooter from FLL to Port Everglades

My scooter folds into the size of larger suitcase-I found UberX easily handled mine-Driver(s) also happily (?) loaded it for me 🙂 -
Riedel Wine Glasses on the Discovery Princes
triple7tahoe replied to trbarton's topic in Princess Cruises
I see some comments suggesting that the bar folks think some folks will steal the good glasses-While I am sure that none of us would, I do think there might be others who would-I saw one lady who had 4 rolls of the ship's toilet paper in her suitcase as she went through customs 🙂 ? On a serious note, we just got off the Emerald Princess after spending two weeks at Vines bar. Interesting to listen to our bar tender, Aldrin, tell us about how hard it was to get the good glasses back. We saw many folks come back with their glasses after "pinkie swearing" to return them. -
I gate checked. On outbound flight, my scooter was at the door when I got off plane. On return flight, they had me sit in first class and wait until the Captain saw scooter was off. Since my scooter is not auto unfolding I was afraid to hold up folks. On boarding they sent me down early and I was in my seat before others boarded. On return, I was so comfortable at unfolding it, I was out the door and on my way quicker than most behind me could get their bags down from overhead compartments.
