A Different Way of Looking at Plus/Premier
latebuyer replied to Drew B 58's topic in Princess Cruises
Lol I meant that as the total amount for the week, not per day. I don't need a lot. Thanks though! -
A Different Way of Looking at Plus/Premier
latebuyer replied to Drew B 58's topic in Princess Cruises
I just want to add that i've done a lot of reading on personal finance and people are totally correct that they'll get more enjoyment if they pay upfront and don't have to pay for each and every item from a monetary theory perspective. That's what is so great about cruises. I'm hoping by paying for onboard credit up front that i'll get at least some of that enjoyment. -
A Different Way of Looking at Plus/Premier
latebuyer replied to Drew B 58's topic in Princess Cruises
lol I'm apparently too cheap even to get the classic soda package. (I drink alcohol minimally so plus not worth of it.) However, i've always thought of things like specialty coffees and specialty drinks to be treats and don't know how i'd feel about downing more than a drink a day. My last cruise i got 2 mocktails and 1 specialty coffee. So perhaps i can get 1 alcoholic drink 2 mocktails and 1 specialty coffee and that will be a splurge for me. I was thinking of just getting 67.00 onboard credit and then i assume they would just swipe your medallion to pay and at least that part would be easier. I was also going to try and scrounge for some pop cans before the trip. -
Yes i am flying in the day before to lax for san pedro.

Thanks. In canadian dollars it works to 167.00 for the classic soda package which seems quite a lot. I'm debating just getting soda cans and then maybe getting 67 shore credit so its easy to purchase the drinks. I don't really think i need 2 mocktails a day, i think one would be enough. I'll think about it though. It would be a splurge.

Thanks. I'm thinking this is unrealistic as i am flying and wouldn't want the weight.
-
I guess it wouldn't be convenient to bring 6 cans anyways. Can you bring the can into the main dining room, or just the buffet and other areas of the ship? This may be a cheaper splurge.

Thanks. With royal caribbean you are able to bring cans of soda onto the cruise. Is that not the case with princess?
-
Thanks everyone. Is price of mocktails 8.00 pls tax and tip? Trying to work out if its worth it.

Does anyone know what juices they are referring to in the classic soda package. Juice bar isn’t included and juices are free at breakfast. As i’m ok with mocktails and pop i’m considering this package but wonder what juice is referring too. Also what types of pop do they carry? Edit i think it may be cans, but not 100% sure. What do others think of the value of this package?

When do we apply for Nexus renewal?

My sister had hers revoked for forgetting to declare beer that was in the car. She had hers reinstated but i’m not sure of timeline-maybe a year? -
Is Royal Caribbean building any small ships?
latebuyer replied to latebuyer's topic in Royal Caribbean International
That's true. I forgot that's their focus! If they were like norwegian and put more emphasis on solos then i would like the bigger ships. Do these ships have many solo cabins? Solos is definitely a growing demographic. Sorry getting off track. -

Just to add, it would be interesting if an mba or business person could provide insight here into royal caribbean's strategy. -

I don't think i insinuated anything. I asked a question. I'm no business person, but to put it another way don't put all your eggs in one basket. People's suggestion that all royal caribbean should do is focus on families i think is wrong. -

Is not the birth rate dropping? In Canada at least it is. I don't know that being 100% reliant on families is the way to go. Better to diversify. Plus there was some complaints on this forum that it is cheaper to go on an all inclusive then a royal caribbean ship. On the other hand, if you are going for the itinerary there are definitely pluses to taking a cruise. -

I actually found this article. https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/discovery-class-smaller-cruise-ship See his facebook post at the bottom -
Is Royal Caribbean building any small ships?
latebuyer replied to latebuyer's topic in Royal Caribbean International
This is a really long thread. But i know Michael Bayley said something at one point. In any event, we'll have to see what happens. A big divide between those who think royal caribbean should focus on milk runs to coco cay and those who want the ships to go to different itineraries. Sad if they just become floating hotels and that's it. -

I don’t know why we’re rehashing this. There has been statements from royal caribbean officials including Michael Bayley that they are introducing this new class. Are people suggesting they are lying? -

I hope so! I want to be able to cruise in the future on the smaller ships. -
As a canadian i received notice of the standby program for the first time. Someone told me solos don’t have to pay double on the standby program. Is that correct?

Post CRUISE LINE Single Supplement/Solo Bargains HERE
latebuyer replied to CCHelp 's topic in Solo Cruisers
It looks like the 14 day voyage of the glaciers on princess on may 22 doesn’t have the full single supplement. Lots of tax though.
