Warning: Do Not leave credit on stateroom account!
richsea replied to NV-Joe's topic in Princess Cruises
I get that. So why can’t someone just get chips or cash at the cashier, then cash the chips in or keep the cash? Personally, if I had leftover obc, I’d spend it in one of the shops on board, or drink it! Bought an iPad in the Apple store on Celebrity using obc once. -

Couldn’t someone also go to the casino & ask for cash to be charged to their account, then just keep the cash instead of gambling it? -
Think I have fallen out of love with Princess

Sorry, but not so. -

That says it perfectly! -
We find that a simple “no thanks” works.

Thanks for the clarification. I had noticed the lack of steps on Enchanted in YouTube videos. Us old fogies prefer the steps; easier on the knees! And now I recall that as a non swimmer, hanging about the steps on Regal/Royal.

Not sure I understand. Which ships have a deeper pool? How deep? Thx!

Are you saying they should bring pumpkins on board and make from scratch?
-
Ah yes, engineering, where when you ask for the time, they build you a watch.

Can I use my onboard account to play at casino ?
richsea replied to ladocevita's topic in Princess Cruises
You don’t have to figure out anything to play slots. Just mindlessly press the button & it gladly takes your $$$$, & once in a while throws you a bone! -
I want Princess to Know - Worst Customer Service and "On Hold" Time
richsea replied to cruzsnooze's topic in Princess Cruises
Maybe because they feel that based on their personal experience, they’re providing a solution to alleviate the problem going forward. -
We like the Royal class ships for the larger, roomier Piazza, Princess Live, the MUCH improved buffet, & the option to book a deluxe balcony that has a love seat, rather than having to sit/lay on the bed if you want to watch TV. The smaller balcony & lack of a promenade deck don’t bother us that much.

Mexico cruise best excursions especially in loreto
richsea replied to oceanfan1212's topic in Princess Cruises
On the Star a few years back, we just walked the town & had a bite to eat. Very charming, very small town. Nice relaxing day. -
Can the mods change this thread’s name to “The Initials Thread” & make it a sticky?.
-
Wow, talk about a thread going off topic!
-
Couldn’t agree with your last sentence more.

Yes, I remember that. Not that I took Zumba classes, lol, but I thought it strange that they chose to start charging for something like Zumba. Bean Counters at work! I remember sailing on P shortly after X reduced activity staff & seeing the photos of the 6 or 8 staff P had on hand.

Interesting replies on this thread. We started cruising on X in 1996, & have over 25 sailings on them, but none since 2017. Lately it’s been pretty much Princess, due to X pricing, their ship within a ship, & the faux balconies on their new ships. If we ever go back to them, it will be on an older ship. I would say each line has +&-. X used to have the best food, but that’s changed in the past 10 years, with food now comparable, although X buffet food & layout is better than P except on P Royal ships. I think Princess std. balcony rooms are inferior, with no place to sit unless you book a deluxe on Royal ships. Princess drink prices are more reasonable, & they have a much larger activities staff. We haven’t sailed Princess since the restart, so I can’t speak to the reported decline post covid. Personally, we now look to Princess before any other line, & will see how things are in November on our third try on the repo from Brooklyn.

Tell me more about Enchanted Princess
richsea replied to Adventures ahead's topic in Princess Cruises
Thanks, good to know. We loved the wide open feeling on Regal & Royal & there were always chairs available. How did you like the newly designed Princess Live? It looks much mor comfortable than the previous design. -

richsea replied to Adventures ahead's topic in Princess Cruises
Certainly looks cramped compared to Royal & Regal Retreat Pools. Doubt we’ll be spending much time there; perhaps on a port day. -
Regal Princess or Caribbean Princess
richsea replied to JerseyGirlatHeart's topic in Princess Cruises
It’s a tough decision. The true 14 nighter as opposed to 2 7 nighters is a plus, but we prefer Regal with their deluxe balconies with sofa, instead of a balcony with not even a chair. Regal has a much nicer buffet area, -& her Retreat Pool is awesome. CP does have Explorer Lounge. As I said; tough decision! Can’t offer an opinion on the aft rooms. I would say that overall, we prefer the Royal class ships. -
Change to Bermuda Travel Authorization
richsea replied to BND's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Thanks for the heads up. You have to know that there are some here who will ALWAYS find it necessary to say something contrary. If you say it gets dark at night, they’ll surely bring up night conditions near the north pole.
