It was on our menu for our TA on the Emerald ending 11/23. It is a staple for me as a starter, just a small half serving. It was automatic by our waiter. It is SOOO good. I will be crushed if it is missing going forward. It was the ONLY thing I had to have in the DR on the restart of cruising. If they want to rotate new items under the pasta area, Princess should absolutely add it to the "Princess Favorites" area.

We did that exact land sea trip a couple years ago. We did a pre night in Venice and they picked us up at the airport even though we were the only ones that day, had the water taxi all to ourselves, very special trip. Princess did an absolutely perfect job with all the stops and tours. We had a great time. If you have any questions, please ask and I will try to answer for you.

I am a Grey Goose martini drinker myself, however on our last cruise my DW really liked the Verjus in Crooners, I tasted it and it was pretty tasty. Another one was the Dirty Banana, however I had them sub the Gordons ? rum for Malibu coconut rum...Oh man, were those good.

Got home two weeks to the day from a T/A on the Emerald with covid. Lots of the flu going around. I think it's going to be a sketchy winter.

I have not seen any mention of the most important part of the changes. What constitutes a premium dessert? Is what we have been receiving going to go "premium"? and the regular desserts will be cookies and a scoop of ice milk?

Interesting, I just went into our next cruise 4/2023 after our last cruise a couple weeks ago and all our info was in there, CC, passport etc. The only thing I had to do is re-link my wife to the CC authorized user.

I just went in to order my medallions for a 4/2023 cruise, did everyone go to add shipping method? and if so did you put ship to address? was that at zero cost?

Worth every penny to not have to deal with luggage until you get to your final airport.

We just flew back from a T/A on the 23rd. We used EZ check for the three large bags FLL>SFO, best $50.00 ever spent. Put the bags in the hallway on the ship that last night and retrieved them in SFO. If you are flying first/business or otherwise don't have to pay the normal luggage fees, they will also be deferred for EZ check, there is a place to advise the status or reason, and likely will be checked. We flew first and only had to pay our $25.00 pp. as our first two bags each were included in the fare. The fees shown above would apply if you had to pay the usual baggage fees.

We had the same experience on the Emerald T/A we just did, After the first couple nights, we just walked right to our table #90. The staff just smiled and said enjoy your dinner.

Dupe for some reason?

Can't believe this has gone unmentioned, obvious answer is the Fettuccine Alfredo.

There is an area in the app where you can designate if you wish paper forms of media, Patter, Effy, Art ads, etc.

There is a form, I attached for your use. Reservation-Transfer-Request-Form-1.pdfReservation-Transfer-Request-Form-1.pdf

We will be on this cruise as well. I wonder if they did carpet in all the cabins? Sounds like we will be the first cruise after the drydock. Getting ready!!

Thanks to all for the info, makes sense.

I have a random question as we are finally doing our first cruise in a couple weeks. I do understand the whole concept of the medallion but have a question. Let's say we are sitting at the Crooners (been known to happen) and the bar is full. I order my martini , GG up 2 olives. How does the "system" know which medallion to charge? Does one have to surrender the medallion to bartender for the transaction as we did with the old cruise card?

Interesting, we have a very late flight out of FLL when we get back from our T/A. Could someone explain how this works as we would love to not deal with luggage after the cruise.

You should wait as it's only been 4 working days. It can take a week or two to show up. Be patient, you will get it.

Does anyone remember silly straws when they were a kid? I had a few.

The only caveat is if you wanted to book excursions, you have to have the OBC necessary in each account to use prior to booking them.

I know I have seen this discussed on the boards before. Can OBC be transferred from one person to another in same cabin? If so, can it be done on board? or a Princess rep before trip, or both?

A truer truth has never been spoken.🍸🍹🍺🍻🥂🥃🍷
