I never had a problem bringing a bottle of wine back on board.

We were on Regal a few weeks ago and I think the Medallion is a very nice feature that other lines could learn from.

We were on Regal Plrincess a few weeks ago for a seven-day in a higher level suite. We sailed Celebrity Millenium last August in a higher level suite, an SH as I remember. I think we prefer the Celebrity experience by far. For meals, there was only a separate section in the main dining room, not a separate restaurant like Luminae. The Concierge lounge was small and in a very difficult location. There was no Retreat or similar on Princess. The suite itself was nice with comparable bedding and amenities. No butler or shared butler. There was virtually no recognition of suite guests throughout the ship. I was not impressed with the Princess buffet. Celebrity did a much better job on the buffet. We are not suite "snobs" by any means, I'm comparing the two experiences. Celebrity won that round. I will say the the Medallion on Princess is pretty nifty. One cute thing, it was our anniversary weekm which I put in my profile. Every time we walked by a shipboard display, it sensed who we were and displayed "Happy Anniversay" and our names. Very nice touch.

We were in 6104 in August which is a suite in the"bumpout" amidships. We felt we received excellent value for the cost and additional amenities. We so enjoyed it and Millie and the staff, although it was the week prior to the butler changes and felt there was a let down in that regard. We recently did a cruise on Regal Princess in a suite and there was almost no recognition of being a suite guest.

We just loved Luminae on Millie! Maitre d' was Fernando. Service and food was excellent.

We were quite impressed with it on Millie!

Did Alaska on Milie last August. Love that ship and crew, Say Hi! to Umesa in Luminae!

I sailed in a Celbrity Suite on Millie last August. We thoroughly loved the priority embarkation, priority tendering, meals in luminae or blu, the concierge lounge, the butler, reserved seating for shows. I recently sailed on Princess in a higher end suite and there is virtually no recognition of being a suite guest on Princess. The Celebrity suite experience was far better.

There are so many spelling and grammatical errors everywhere, it's hard to single out Princess. If you see any here, it's because I don't have my glasses on!

If I told you what I spent 40 years of my life doing, you might be surprised. I am going to resist the temptation to respond. Good day.

Well, it's their ship. The only debate might be which island you fly home from.

Unfortunately, that's is the entitled, self-aggrandizing, self validating world we live in.

I think B10/2 might have some view issues due to the overhang from the bridgewing.

Well,we have C101 in ten days. There is a tour of C101 on youtube.

I wouldn't be surprised if part of the shop rental contract provides Princess with a percentge of revenue from the shops. Processing all sales through the ship ensures that all revenues are taken into account and there are no side deals going on. That also gives Princess use of the cash from credit card settlements for a few weeks prior to having to settle with Effy and the other shop lessees.

We are booked in an S5 suite on Regal Princess in a few weeks from Galveston. I believe there is a separate part of the MDR for dinner for suite guests. Do I need to book a reservation time for that or is it just walk in? We are green lane now, but does this suite qualify for the pre-boarding hospitality area? This is our first Princess experience and I'm interest to see this suite comparison to other lines we have sailed.

There is only upside for Princess. Even if sold out, they are protected in the event there is a cancellation. If a suite cancels, that creates an upward domino effect for four or five other cabins at $100 or so a pop and worst case they end up with a vacant indside cabin on the lower decks.

Probably said before, and I can speak to the $238, as a hotel accountant - the $238 "Refer to Corporate Finance" is zeroing out your onboard account and transferring the remaining credit balance to the guest refund processing system. That's how our hotel accounting systems work. The Wi-Fi charges - don't know - I would question those.

If they get too many winnners, they turn it off. That's a "cooling off" period I guess.

Oh boy! I'm going to open that door every chance I get!

So, what is Princess Prizes that is part of the Premium Plus package?

We went on a Tahiti to Hawaii 12-day on another line in 2022 We enjoyed it immensely. Bora Bora is more beautiful in person than any pictures you've seen. The people are wonderful. I highly recommend that itinerary.

Thank you, guess we'll just get Room Service each morning.

We are booked in a Penthouse Suite on Regal Princess and I can't determine if there are coffee makers in the suites. Anyone know? Thanks!

On my last cruise, (non-SS) a passenger had a "service dog". Service dog was like a toy poodle mix. No value judgements, but it seemed terribly out of place and just in the way on tendering, disembarkation (no pun intended) and in other crowded areas.
