My Wife and I don't have many 'overseas' holidays... But when we do go away we want to enjoy ourselves, have fun and relax...etc.... the last thing we want to do is try to add up how much each drink is and make sure we don't spend too much. So the plus package was a no brainer for us - not just for the drinks, but for the Wifi too - would be good to be able to keep in touch with family by e-mail / Facebook.

Difficulties making dinner bookings on the app
Muffinz replied to Boatharbour's topic in Princess Cruises
ok thanks for that - we can look forward to an e-mail from Princess in the near future explaining it all 🙂 -
Difficulties making dinner bookings on the app
Muffinz replied to Boatharbour's topic in Princess Cruises
We've not received any e-mail from Princess about changes to the dining times or anything... but we can't make dining reservations for the MDR until our cruise is paid in full in September (for December 14 Cruise) - that's what the message on the app tells me "to access dining reservations, your voyage must be paid in full or you must be Platinum, or Elite Captains Circle member or have Full Suite or Mini Club Class Suite" -
We've booked our first Princess Cruise and ticked the 'no upgrade' box when booking, because as we've read here on cruise critic sometiumes the upgrade can be in a location or deck you don't want to be in. Lets hope Princess don't upgrade us by accident!

thanks for that - very helpful
-
do we need to sign in to say we've watched it or something? how long does it take to watch?
-
thanks - yes we've watched dozens of ship tours on YouTube... but thought it would be nice do an actual one do you still have to do a muster drill and report to a Muster station? I think I read (on here probably) that it's now done by the App or stateroom TV?

We are on Crown Princess in December 2024 and I was wondering if Princess do a 'ship tour' on embarkation day? I'm not talking about an in-depth tour of the kitchens / laundry...etc... but if they do brief one of the ship showing where the dining rooms / buffet / bars / pools are?

We have got the plus package on our cruise in December - we did the math and it made sense to have the package. We're not huge drinkers, but knowing you can go to a bar and get a beer / wine / cocktail without worrying about the cost is great.... We tend to drink more when we're on holiday relaxing anyway And we get wifi and that's a big plus We're not too fussed on the premium deserts and probably won't use the free gym classes, but the package still makes sense to us

Vancouver hotel pre-cruise
Muffinz replied to tunisbridal's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
We stayed in Vancouver in July last year to see Tears for Fears in concert and we stayed at the Hyatt Regency. Fantastic Hotel in a great location - about a 7-10 min easy walk downhill to the Pier / Canada place and right next door to Burrard Street Train station. Pan Pacific is right on Canada place and you can't get any closer to the cruise terminal than that, but that was a lot more expensive from memory -
one way to possibly alleviate the issue of having your wife / hubby / partners drinks being added to your medallion account, is to take it in turns to order drinks. 1 person orders 2 drinks for themselves and their partner, then next time the partner orders the drinks?
