On one of our Alaskan cruises we saw overalls worn on a Formal night with no hassels at all.

They will be just fine! Princess is changing with the times and for the better.

This was our experience too at the last two weattende. Maybe we got bad tables but there was a couple each time that just went on and on about what Princess does or is doing wrong and nothing positive. Felt sorry for the officers both times.

One theory as for the increase in peanut allergies is: In the late 1990s and early 2000s, doctors changed their approach regarding food allergies. They mistakenly thought that delaying the feeding of peanut for several years was the best approach to preventing peanut allergies. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a (now-outdated) recommendation in 2000, which directed parents to avoid feeding baby peanuts until they reached the age of three, especially if a baby was at high risk for a peanut allergy. Today, doctors know that this approach to delay peanut introduction actually increases food allergy risk, and that delayed introduction was a major factor that led to the sharp increase in peanut allergies. Thanks to landmark clinical studies, doctors now know that the opposite approach, feeding baby peanut early and often, before they turn one is the best way to prevent peanut allergies.

More like over a 1,000 times....and still there is no clear answer.

Exactly. Princess needs to take in consideration the 70% of the world population that do not use toilet paper and offer bathrooms with built in bidets too.

I was wondering how much is pent up travel demands and how much is due to Princess's new cabin management program where they have a bidding system and are maybe holding cabins back so they do not have to reduce their price. . It seems to me there are other things going because cruises that use to be hard to hard to fill seem to be full very soon after they go on sale.

Same here. We were like....what is all the fuss about....deal with it.

We had a similar problem once and went through to the chain of command because there was a banging noise in our room and it could not be located when the ship was moving. To our embarrassment, we had discovered that someone had left a bottle of wine in a little cabinet in the suite prior to us and when the shipped moved it rolled a little and made the unusual noise hitting the wall inside. Everyone who checked our room only did it when the ship was docked so there was no noise and it was funny in the end when it was finally figured out. However, up until that time it was annoying to say the least.

Sounds like some passengers maybe feeling left out/less then because they are not getting the same level of care, recognition and services in Suites as those passengers in Suites on the Royal Class and Sphere Class ships?

This is true and all good gamblers know this aspect of the game. The fact is that the effect of other players at the table is random, as likely to help as hurt, whether the players are good or bad. The only sense in which other players at the table affect a good player is they make the count fluctuate faster. Others’ play at times can be frustrating, but the math proves that in the long run, the decisions of other players at the table has no effect on the expected result for a basic strategy player. You lose when you lose and win when you win and it is basically a lot of luck and no one else's fault.

Is there a charge for this now, calling room service, if you are on Standard fare and not a package?

Great idea. We use to always buy the Princess bouquet on board for $39.00 but we see it is now selling for $99.00 under the new regime.

We have always booked Reserve Class on all our cruises and found it to be well worth it. We have noticed on some ships it looks like ATD is a real hassle for many passengers.

Still waiting for someone who is on the Sun NOW to confirm "how awful the Cabana Minis are" like many have been suggesting here. I find it surprising that there almost no post of current passengers on the Sun, in a Cabana Mini, who have complained yet, expect for some on these boards who are going off a partial picture of the cabin or cabins from another cruise company's ships?
