I have a question. We have cruised Celebrity with a drink package for several years. There is no drink limit on Celebrity. When ordering wine in the MDR, our glasses are topped off frequently with only 1 “charge” showing up on our account. Is this handled the same way on Princess or is each glass of wine equivalent to one “charge” at dinner?

Trying to convince my DH this is better then a B2B on Sapphire or Coral but he is not going for it. Will keep trying!

So happy to read you are enjoying cruising again. I know you have said how much you are enjoying the Sapphire. We are looking to do a similar trip in 2025 and are debating between the Coral and the Sapphire. Which would you recommend? We do book mid aft on Caribe deck for the half covered balcony. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Hope all is well with your mom, have traveled and worried about elderly parents. It is not easy.

That is the deposit amount I see in Princess too. I have not seen $200 deposit.

We are looking at either the Grand 17 day or the Ruby 22 day. My TA site says $800 non refundable deposit but the Princess site with same price says $800 refundable. Has the deposit been refundable for others? We are cruising this month so would wait until on board to book, but DH is cabin particular.

We are Ruby so cannot see pricing or cabin availability today. Can a TA see this today? Will it be available early tomorrow or after 8am west coast time? thanks

I was able to add our DD to the plus package thru my TA when we booked. I would call again for sure.

Also is this possible if doing a B2B?

This is similar to what Celebrity did after the New Year. We were cruising early in the year and final payment had been months earlier. Room service switched to continental breakfast only free and delivery fee and gratuity to a hot breakfast or any room service after 11am. Our DD who likes to sleep in had fruit and danish only for breakfast.

My DD and I went to the CC desk on the ship the first cruise we did after she turned 18. Her points were all on file and she was issued a CC number with the correct status.

I also was told no for our January 2024 cruise when I called a few weeks ago. I may try again closer to the cruise.

Has any one been able to upgrade only for 1 person while on the ship?

Is there any update on the possible strike?

Are the Good Spirits drinks covered with Plus?

Hope you had a great cruise. Please come back with an update on the rest of your trip.

Enjoy the water taxi. We did it for the first time in January and had a blast. There is a bar on board and we got off to eat at 15th Street Fisheries and had a great lunch.

Which Hampton Inn? We are booked at Hampton Inn 28th ave and their web page says airport pickups.

My DH and adult DD are happy with the Classic package. I have always called and upgraded myself. I did try last week for an upcoming cruise and was told no, we all have to upgrade. I will try again later this week. I am also curious how this is handled if on board.

Same here as in Royal Princess in August. We booked a ship excursion with for the train and Yukon rather then booking on our own with Chilkoot as we were concerned about tender timing.

I am sure this has been answered but here goes. How does Sushi on Five work with a specialty dining package since everything is a la carte? Also, if we have a specialty dining package for 3 of us and 2 go to one restaurant and 1 goes somewhere else (DH and DD go to sushi and I go to the Porch), is that ok?

How was disembarkation timing? Glad to hear you enjoyed your cruise.

How did you do that? What kind of waiver? They both want the classic and make good use of it.🤣

Any update from someone who was traveling home today?

Sort of off the topic, but if you have the classic package and order premium wine in the MDR, how do they charge the difference, for each glass or only once? I have been upgrading recently, but new rules say that DH and DD would have to also and they don’t want to.

All 3 are over 21, in February I was able to upgrade just 1 for an April cruise.
