Yes, but you're looking at the comparison from the point of view of those that stay in suites. If you look at it from the point of view of those staying on board in inside, Oceanview and regular balconies, which is a much larger quantity of cruisers, it's a whole different comparison. The Sphere Class does have the three different types of dining on decks 6, 7 & 8. On Celebrity's Edge Class, traditional dining has been eliminated and they don't have anything comparable to the American Diner. As usual, one's perspective is skewed upon the type of accomodations that you're staying in.

Much can possibly change over the next 18 months. You do have another included option for lunch on sea days and that would be the American Diner on deck 8.

I will add that if they do indeed allow you to use a plus credit, any extra additions will be subjected to the additional 18% gratuity.

When you ask about all three restaurants are you meaning reserve, signature and main or deck 6, deck 7 and deck 8 of MDR?

True, but if you have the Plus package your drinks are already included. Regarding Spellbound, extremely disappointed it's got a dinner attached to it. Drinks and show for 39 is what I was hoping. 352 for two after gratuity because dinner is factored in makes it a big no from us.

You have your eye on that banana split, don't you Lenny.

Well, no dinner involved and comped of course, why wouldn't you like it?

With there being so many different people from different countries the entertainment is different so that language would not be a barrier. There is also no piano bar or comedy club and they even had opera. The multiple language announcements usually occur in the cruises that sail in Europe. The two cruises we sailed in 2018 and 2023 in the Caribbean only had announcements in English.

45.00 + 18% gratuity. Remember, Spellbound is only 149.00 + 18% as well.

That looks delicious. 14 days in the Caribbean this fall. A few of those will be consumed by myself and DH. 👍

Wow. People would actually hog a chair. 😉😉😉

It's a gated community. You need to have a medallion hooked up with one of the 20+ cabins along that strip in order to be there legally. I know you were making a joke, but at least the extra loungers outside the cabanas are padded, unlike the sanctuary.

There is no cover charge. If you wish to get food during the hours they make it available you can either get the app/entree/dessert for 14.99 or buy them a la carte. The 14.99 deal is free if you have the plus package using one of your two allotted casual meals or free if you have the premier package with the unlimited casual meals. If only going for drinks, it'll only cost you the price of your drink.

In actuality, Princess Plus started @ 40.00 per day.

They don't take reservations. Alfredo's could be very busy on sea days at lunch. At this time O'Malley's is only open for food at dinner time, but other times for drinks.
