Arizona Wildcat

Since this is a new booking you also might want to contact a couple TAs to see if they have group fares. Then switch and transfer at the same time. There is a website where you can list your cruise and have TAs Compete for your business. Usually a saving of about 5-8%.

Have picked up in port numerous times. Never more than a few extra seconds. The clerks who checked us in walked to a nearby table and retrieved our medallions. Not worth a call or stressing out IMO

Pretty much everything on Sun appears to have been disappointing at the beginning. Cannot remember where I saw it but service seems to have improved and wait times to dine are much shorter. We were on a test cruise for the new dining system. Was chaos on day 1. Very good by the 3rd day.

There were always lots of lines when dinner opened whether for fixed (people would simply arrive early, no idea why) or dine my way. Nothing has changed. With reservations there will be limits on how many can be accommodated early - same as before. While DW and I like to eat while on ship about 8pm or so; many friends eat their main meal about 2pm with a VERY light snack early evening.

In the past other cruiselines had a section of a dining room that was for fixed dining and another for flexible times. We likely will find out in June. Princess is simply going back to a system they used some years ago. I welcome traditional dining.

TDining is same time every night. Don't want same time each night book the MDR with reservations. Just want to show up then go to the 3rd dining room.

Your muster station is fixed. You can check in as soon as they open the check in. Sometimes immediately. Sometimes not.

Have you checked out the sticky about cabins. There should be several reviews on your cabin (could be same cabin on another ship of the same class or a port/starboard mirror).

Doubtful it will show up at your home. It will only take a minute to pick it up at the pier. Would not worry.

With TMobile no roaming in some 175 countries for Data and texting. When MIL fell Celebrity provided us with daily free phone call.

Probably because they said they will be cancelled over the coming days. Just announced and doubt Princess would do that on a weekend. It is thousands and thousands of reservations.

Seems likely with the huge MDR changes that dining reservations are paused everywhere. I got a similar message. Yes, Princess said other dining not effected, but. . . . .

Stosh - Princess told be that the new program goes into effect 14 September. There is a post on FB that says 1 September. That post was NOT from Princess, but a CVP. The Princess website says make your reservations. Formal press release said September 14th. A bit confusing. Right now I would "guess" the 14th is correct. Pretty easy to check by waiting a couple days and check if your reservations are still there. Good thing is your cruise is over 4 months away.

Princess cancelled ALL MDR reservations for cruises starting on or after 1 September. Your loyalty level does not effect the cancelations. Starting in June (date TBA) reservations will be accepted for the new dining room setup.

Sadly, has not gone that way this time. Things have gone from bad to worse in the last 6 months.

Heard people maybe 3 or 4 times on a 16 night cruise. Always mornings. Agree we never found the door locked.

Thanks. Know what you meant. You just need to bring magnets. Magnetic doors would, however, be interesting. Especially if you had a pacemaker!

Can answer part if your questions as had this "experience " last year. If you want traditional you obviously need to book. If you want to reserve you make your booking one night at a time with availability for reserving limited. Again if anytime- no reservations. Will be interesting to see how dining rooms are assigned. Will find that out in June. On our cruise there was more demand for fixed seating than seats for the early seating. They moved some of those people to the reservation dining room. I note making reservations was chaotic, but smoothed out by day 3 (16 day cruise). There was lots of seating available after 8pm. Port days had lots of no shows for fixed dining and walk upstairs for anytime.

Happy for you. We were always told only Australia or UK cruises.

Again, new system going into effect in September. One MDR fixed seating - early/late. One MDR varied reservations. One MDR walk up only. Need to read the thread as many reservations are cancelled with limits as to when new reservations allowed.

When I was younger was locked out on our Veranda. Climbed over the railing and around the divider and knocked next door. Would not attempt that today.

Make sure of the restrictions. . all of them. A while back the speed was throttled, data limited etc. No idea today.

5 threads this week. Solutions from those more tech savvy than me. Clear browsing history and cache Change password Uninstaller and reinstall app. If I CAN sign in I wonder if I am on the wrong website.

Yes. We simply don't bother till on board. The app is deeadful

DW mentioned always checking the receipt at the grocery store before leaving. Over half the time there is an error. Sadly need to check things everywhere all the time.
