Totally surprised that shorts or Dress Code more comments than bare feet & no washing hands.

I guess looks are more important than health?

After seeing total capabilities\functionality of WOW band, it's limited. 

Why not allow  boarding & disembarking using the WOW band? Can easily be programmed to do so. 

Not knowing the size of the actual circle, not the band, can it be cut around the circle and placed in an Apple Air Tag Holder?

I have a Princess Medallion and use an Air Tag Holder.

What's a bear fleet? (Or even what is a beer fleet as I assume that's what you meant at first)?

Speller check. No socks or shoes. Naked, smelly!

I can book big front seats and a checked bag for cheaper than southwest or aa for the same dates. Spirit doesn’t always make sense but sometimes it does.

Good, book!

Off subject, sorry. Speaking of flying I see you are in italy. I'm in the process of a b2b ends in rome italy end of may 2025. Do you happen to have a idea what a flight costs from rome to florida? Am I going to be in shock?

Not to sound bad. Do a fake booking via the Internet and you can get a real price. People do it daily. 

Shorts and dress codes are a small concern.

What about people who put their bear fleet on tables? Senior Officer saw that and when asked why nothing was said to guest, just shook head. 

People who don't wash their hands in buffet.

These are health issues and much more important than shorts or a dress code. 

This not only applies to cruises, it also applies to airlines. They will charge what you will pay.

We as consumers should stand down and then we would see cheaper prices.

Icon OTS is totally Overpriced! 

Really what are the main PIN perks  that mean so much?

I am Diamond+, cruise Celebrity Elite +, HAL, MSC Diamond, NCL Sapphire & Princess Elite.

They all offer perks and are cutting back their perks.

They all offer pluses & minuses plus variety in the sense of food, entertainment, ports, etc.

Never dedicated or cheerleader of one cruise line.

$349 total? As I posted my fare was under 750 total. Including taxes and fees. Solo in a inside balcony. No offense but I'd guess that's a per person before tsxes and fees and since you dont say, I'm assuming a inside not a balcony. But who knows since you dont say if that's total, including fees and taxes like I posted and you dont say for what category. 

 

Drives me nuts when someone claims they only paid $349 and then i find it's for one pax before fees and taxes added in. And there were 2 in the cabin. I said total .. you don't say?

Love people who don't give all the info. Brag about their cheap cruise. Then you ask to see their invoice, NO!

I have 2 people I know that always get a 7 day cruise for $300 or less.

Yet, never show an invoice. LOL

DFW to FLL on Dec 30 at 11am. Returning Jan 6 in the afternoon. Yes it’s on Spirit but we have never had problems with Spirit. We also know what we are getting with Spirit. We also have under seat carryons made by Samsonite that are considered personal items. I could have snagged 5am on Dec 31 for $90 round trip per person but my wife didn’t want to do that.

 

 

 

 

Apparently you don't have check in luggage.

I priced out Spirit. By time you add in personal item, check in bag and seat they are equal to other airlines and just as expensive.

I used them years ago, but not now unless they are reasonable. JMHO! 

To help you, read the many post on this subject on this forum. Everyone has an opinion.

Mine is wear what you want as others do.

Princess does not enforce any rules or suggestions. 

Happy Cruising!

IMO and horrible experience , stay away from JetBlue. 

Thank you!

I am only looking at Non Stop.

Seems only Spirit & Delta.

When you look at Spirit and  all the up charges it exceeds Delta. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes well...there is really no point in comparing black friday sale prices to normal prices. Chops without black friday price is way more than $60/pp.

This is not a Black Friday sale price. It is every cruise price.

Just got off Princess Enchanted Med cruise. Their Specialty Restaurants were $39 per person. Crown Grill steak house, Catch Seafood, & Sabatines Italian. 

Excellent menus and 5 course meals. No extra up charges.

One of the best values of most cruise lines.

Happy Cruising!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

My airfare for FLL during Xmas/NYE was $125 per person round trip.

 

 

What airlines?

What airports?

Glad your fare was cheap.

I am checking Expedia and all other sites. Spirit & Delta out of DTW to FLL RT  for Feb 2024 no stops 2 people over $1,000.

For two Specialty Dining Restaurants (including Cagney’s) it’s less than $20 tip…that’s not per restaurant…..that’s BOTH combined with FAS.

 

That’s why it makes ZERO sense to go to any of the Specialty Restaurants and order a la carte!

Let me make myself clear. I would not go to any SR and order a la carte. I'm Sapphire, so I get free SRs. I was originally just asking if NCL now has a set price. I have received my answer, Thank you all.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Not really. We go there for steak. 

 

FILET $94.95

BONE-IN NEW YORK $94.95

BONE-IN RIB EYE $114.95

PORTERHOUSE $165.95

TOMAHAWK $174.95 (shared)

Totally way out of my league! For those prices, I would book another cruise. 

I'm surprised that you cruise NCL and other similar lines.

Of course it is, I doubt many pay a la carte, but instead buy a dining package for at least 2 meals. 

Thank you!

Yes, we have 2 already with our booking. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes, but your local steakhouse is actually good. NCL's Cagney's is Texas Roadhouse.

For that price it should be OUTSTANDING! That is the price of a day on a cruise ship. SMH!

FYI - The Plus & Premium pkgs on Princess are very reasonable when compared to other cruise lines.

Beverage pkgs alone on other lines exceed these prices.

So, you get much more with these pkgs!

You don’t want to do a la carte dining in Cagney’s.  It’s VERY expensive.   Buy a 2 dinner SDP package.  It will be cheaper than a la carte for just Cagney’s.

Thank you! Yes, for a shrimp cocktail, lamb & side it is $71 before tip. Totally overpriced! JMHO!

For NCL. those were the good old days.

Yes, I remember those days. Cruising NCL since 1986 the ole SS NORWAY.

HAPPY CRUISING!

That is one of the reasons that we liked Regal Princess, with Reserve Class we did not have any wait for breakfast, lunch or dinner. 

We were on the Enchanted last week and saw lines every time for the Reserve Class. So, it all depends on ship, amount of passengers, etc. There is no one answer.
