No - there is only one adult assigned to each cabin, so only that one adult needs to pay.

A salary is earning, for example, $40000 per year. It doesn't matter whether you work 40 or 60 hours a week, you still only get that 40K. An hourly wage is based on how many hours you work. More hours, more pay.

The easiest way to do it is wait until you board to buy Princess Plus. It costs the same as buying it ahead of time. Then just have your medallion program for both doors.

Bring a refillable water bottle along, and give the shipboard filtered water a go. I enjoyed it, myself. You can always buy bottled water if you need to, but try the water stations in the buffet first; I think you'll be pleased.

You should try it. It's quite nice, especially on embarcation day. Much quieter than the buffet.

I agree they aren't tipped positions, but they don't earn a salary. Just an hourly wage.

I agree with as well. If you can cruise the Caribbean with just a birth certificate and driver's licence, you can cruise with a valid passport, even if it doesn't meet the 6-month rule.

Yes - if you want the free in-port sessions (which don't go over the side of the ship like the at-sea sessions do) you should book those as soon as you board the ship.

Nobody is going to say you can't have 5 people in your suite; just get your husband a key to your room from Guest Services. However, the sofa bed only sleeps 2 people - where will the third kid sleep? another thing to keep in mind - your husband might well have a different Muster station than you. It's a very remote chance, but if there's an emergency, your husband wouldn't be with you.

I can sort of see Donald duck in that cloud myself, so you're not too crazy.....

This is when a passport is required, not just the better option. A letter from the other parent stating the kid is good to travel without them is helpful too.

It shouldn't be a problem. Nobody is going to be pushing you to go any earlier than that for self-assist. Leaving your room by 8:30 is a courtesy for the room stewards to get the rooms clean for the next guests. You can then take your luggage up to the WindJammer buffet and have breakfast before you leave the ship. That's what we've always done.

This is why I dilute it... it's normally way too strong. I just need a little bit to flavour the water.

You've only just noticed this?

We have good summers, around 72-85 degrees F. Certainly warm enough to go swimming at the beach (I live within an hour's drive of many beaches, which is fun. We'll often go in the late afternoon for swimming, and then get fish and chips for dinner).
