It will be a very quiet green lane for Australian & New Zealand departures as I would think about 90% of the passengers would be Aussie & Kiwi

I can help with a couple of your questions; Everyone gets the Medallion, it has taken the place of your cruise card. As an Elite you get the internet at 1/2 price & can be purchased onboard on a day by day basis if you don't want to go for the whole cruise package. Not sure of the price & that would depend on where you are cruising from.

That is the question I am hoping to have answered. Can we share a Pizza & a salad & use just one of our casual dining options? That is what we use to have when dining at Alfredo's

Yes sorry I did miss those. At the moment while cruising out of Australia the Coral has a slightly different menu in Bayou Cafe than the Island.

No problems. I did make one error according to the princess web site Kai Sushi is now a Casual Dining venue

I believe the speciality restaurants would include Crown Grill Sabatini’s The Catch by Rudi Sterling Steakhouse Kai Sushi (Diamond Princess) Harmony (Majestic Princess) There may be some others but that would be the main ones

We have a similar sort of question. We would normally order 1 salad & 1 Pizza & share it. Could we now just order 1 x 3 course meal & share that 🤔🤔🤔

If you do the fake booking be very careful as it appears Princess are offering a lot more “non refundable “ bookings at the moment which may mean your FCD would be forfeit.

You need to log into your booking on Princess.com & look at your travel summary for the cruise. That will tell you what is included in your booking.

We don’t eat multiple courses at Alfredo’s just share a salad & a pizza. I’m hoping we can still do that 🤞

I don’t know if this has been mentioned in this forum as yet. Green lane boarding now comes with Plus & Premier if you have your medallion delivered to your home. We live in Australia & home delivery of a medallion is not available to us, so does that mean we can never be green lane before arriving at the dock. We are Elite with Princess & normally have priority boarding, that was one of the perks of being loyal to Princess

If you log into your Princess account (not the app) & go to the Travel Summary for your cruise it will tell you what currency you will be charged.

Would someone be able to post a menu from The Catch & Sabatini's Many thanks in advance

You don't get them on Princess cruises out of Australia now. As far as I know only out of UK.

I agree totally with pugbeary, we have enjoyed following your journey& your insights into life onboard the Island Princess. Again many thanks

Thank you for that I would really appreciate it. We cruise to Norway in June on the Island & I wondered which captain we would have.

I am reading that the captain on the Island at the moment is Paul Slight. Do you know if he will stay on at the end of the world cruise or is he due for leave?

Have just seen reports of a change to dining on the newer Royal class ships including Enchanted. French bistro going & Sabatini's going in its place then The Catch by Rudi (seafood restaurant) going in where Sabatini's was on Deck 5.

I am trying to find out what cocktails are on the Elite Lounge menu these days. Would someone have a photo of the menu they could post here? Many thanks

The island has a gap in her schedule from May 24 2024 till July 5th 2024. 6 week refit announced on the current WC last night.

Can anyone advise me if there is a Loyalty & Events coordinator onboard the ship at the moment? Many thanks Dianne

Thank you very much for the Menu's. Interesting to see a one page menu including desserts. Our cruise last November we were still given the dessert menu after the main course. I don't always have dessert & usually decide after main course.

Thank you very much for the info. I will have to bring a multi USB charger from home. A bit surprised at that. I wonder why they didn't add them to the Island when they have done other ships.

We will be on the Island Princess in June this year & I wondered if there are any dedicated USB plugs in the cabins. I know the Coral & the Grand have had these added. Would also love to see a couple of MDR menu's if someone has the time to photo & post. Many thanks Dianne

On our recent cruise on the Grand Princess the clock started the day you tested positive.
