  1. My daughter has been asking me about this. We are on Enchanted Princess in June. I told her to wait until the schedule was a little more populated on the app. I don’t remember an 80’s party on my previous Princess cruises, but my 80’s clothing had I kept any would consist of business attire. My daughter was born in 1982. I don’t think her 80’s clothing would fit her, but she’s been known to go thrifting and you never know what you might find on a rack.
  2. I’ve had my reservations “changed” before on short notice. Got an apologetic email. But it was the same MDR and time. Nothing changed! I should have asked for OBC as compensation for my inconvenience. LOL
  3. We sailed Sapphire in September to Alaska and she felt perfectly designed for the voyage. Lots of viewing spots, inside and out. Our cabin on Aloha had a covered deck that kept us dry. Something to consider as some are more open to the elements than others.
  4. You can ask when OB. I feel like I saw buckets available on CB back in March. I wasn’t interested so the details didn’t register.
  5. Cabin attendant, waiter, hostess are all tipped at or near the end of the cruise. We see them daily. Bartenders and bar servers aren’t there every day. So I tip them by the drink. I would feel bad if someone gave great service all cruise long and I couldn’t find them on the final night.
  6. We add a tip when we order a drink whether from a bar server or directly from a bartender. We like to establish a friendly relationship with the bartenders and servers and adding a buck or two keeps them attentive to our needs. I’ve never discerned a negative attitude when failing to tip extra, however.
  7. On IOS, it’s 1.0.1. But it isn’t any better. This new app seems solely designed for onboard use. There’s just so much missing.
  8. Even with a couple specialty coffees per day and lots of bottled water, I couldn’t break even on 1 daily alcoholic beverage. I think your math is probably correct.
  9. I’m not sure if they’ve moved Planks and Steamers. When we sailed CB in March 2023, they were located at the back of the buffet. But not functioning at the time. I’ve heard people refer to “pop up venues”.
  10. And how do I get there? On my iPhone. Can someone guide me from “home”? I understand it’s too soon to see luggage tags, but I’d like to know where they’ve hidden the travel summary. Not to mention OBC.
  11. Does anyone know if they have robes available in children’s sizes?
  12. I wear a size medium men’s t-shirt. I could have wrapped the bathrobe around myself at least one and a half times. Mrs BV is small to extra small petite and could have wrapped hers around herself twice.
  13. I must have been looking at the crystal ball upside down.
  14. I can make a prediction: Bama by a touchdown. Now you don’t have to watch.
  15. For sure in the International Cafe. Which is the only place I’ve ordered coffee.
  16. BTW, they can make mistakes. I had a plate of pasta placed in front of me covered in parmesan despite the headwaiter preparing it without dairy. Fortunately I knew better and so did the headwaiter. She straightened things out when she saw what had happened.
  17. You should be able to do this. I order off the regular menu the night before and they prepare my food to my specifications. They have a kitchen dedicated to special diets but the food is only a variation of the regular menu.
  18. Fo me, it’s not a special menu. It’s dinner for the following night, the regular menu. I select what I want and the headwaiter has it prepared within my dietary restrictions (no dairy). When we sit down the following night, I tell my server I have pre ordered and the name of my headwaiter. After a night or two, they remember. I ask at the buffet, and someone from the kitchen wearing a tall hat tours me through the line and tells me what I can or cannot eat.
  19. Loyalty programs have been watered down for years. The only time a new tier is added, benefits at lower levels are reduced. There is no advantage to Princess adding another level and increasing benefits. Don’t hold your breath. Ships are sailing full.
  20. Yes. I linked to another cabin and made MDR reservations for all 6 of us.
  21. How did your body react to the cleanser? If you order a double, is it called the purger?
  22. Before you do that, have you sought help via chat? That’s how I fixed the wrong birthday that my TA entered for my upcoming cruise.
  23. Stranger things have happened, but I can’t imagine the software recognizing you used your credit card for a canceled cruise and refusing to take it again because of that. Unless there’s a “fool me once” line in the code somewhere. i am not surprised that the “help line” hung upon you when they couldn’t fix the problem.
