Sox Fan Cruiser

I stand corrected. I should not have spoken for all ships and all cabins. I need to look into those cabins for the future!

Other than the 2 Sky Suites on the Royal Class ships that have them, no other suite is big enough for a dinning table. In general Princess suites are not very special when you look at other cruise lines. If you’ve been in upper suites on other cruise lines, don’t get too excited about Princess offerings.

There is a list circulating that IS for all the new 2024 sailings besides the ones on the website. I have seen it and I will be booking one when Elites are available to do so before they are on the website. I have already arranged it with my CVP.

Yes, it’s 2024. I assume the original poster was just confused. But the ask is still valid. The 2024 sailings go on sale in a little more than a week with Elites getting a first look 24 hours before. Does someone have that list?

I’m on the team that doesn’t go ashore. I just stay on the ship and enjoy it with everyone gone. Definitely not boring. The warm weather. The beautiful ship. Not working. All good things to just sit and relax.

They used to do Mobile Passport but you needed to look for it. Most terminal workers didn’t know about it. We used it quite often. But we haven’t used it in years. Customs has gotten so smooth that everyone is through pretty quickly. (And it worked for airports and some cruise ports including FLL.)

“…all night long” ?!? On a Celebrity ship? Have they seen their passenger demographic?!? 🤪😝😂

I think it's more a consideration for people who don't cruise a lot. A huge FCC is no big deal for me as I'll use it. But when I am traveling with someone that may or may not cruise with Celebrity again it may be a different story.

Us to! We just were finalizing which cruise we wanted to book.

I would do it! But that’s a personal choice and what people could afford. I would love to try a penthouse. But be careful. You would get spoiled. I tried a Sky suite “once” and can’t go back! 🤪

I don't understand the point of a "silent" disco. Enjoying the music with everyone around you in the reason I go dancing. But I am definitely in the very small minority here. A lot of folks have a lot of fun with this so I just go elsewhere during this event. That's what I love about cruising! There's something for everyone.

We were told when I made final payment about a week ago that we DO need travel insurance for our 12/31/22 sailing. It’s in case we test positive before getting on the ship. I’ll wait until it gets closer to see what the policy is at the time. We usually have travel insurance anyway.

You REALLY should not put your email, full name and phone number in a public forum. If you can’t delete it, you should ask the host to do it.

Shhhh! Don’t tell anyone about those or everyone will want them. 😂

There is no comparison between suites on Celebrity and what they do on Princess. Even the most highly rated suite cabin (except for Sky Suites) on Princess isn’t very nice compared to Celebrity. Their “concierge” on Princess isn’t anything like the retreat hosts on X. No butler. No special lounge area or sun deck. You are treated like royalty as a suite guest on Celebrity. Don’t expect that same service on Princess suites. Most of what skynight lists above is available for all guests. I think you are asking specifically about the suite experience. I still book suites on both lines but I know what to expect going in.

I don’t mind if people decorate their door but on our last cruise, someone decorated it for Halloween. The cruise dates were 9/11 - 9/21!! A little early in my book. Maybe they we doing 1 1/2 months of B2Bs!! 😜

And with that, I’m done. Good times and fun have left the Princess board.

Wow! I really thought this was going to be a fun discussion of things they could do for us? I expected things ranging from funny to creative but didn't expect all this negativity. I guess that is where the Princess consumer is right now (and I totally understand everyone's negativity!). I just thought thought thread was going to be a fun way to discuss what they could do for us. Here's mine: Not just priority tender but our own tendering system to and from port. (Now go ahead and slam all the reasons why that wouldn't be doable if you want.)

And that's what I love about cruising. There are different things for different people. I look at those Deck 9 cabins and would never want to be there with such a large overhang. I'm glad you enjoy them. I am not a huge fan of the Persian Garden either so Blu is my main reason for choosing this category. On non-revolutionized ships, I would rather be in Agua class than Retreat.

On S Class ships the Lawn Club Grill is completely empty when it's open for lunch. No reservation ahead of time needed. We do make them once we get on the ship but the last 3 times we ate there for lunch we were the only ones in the entire place. No worries if you can't make a reservation before you board.

I was told that it’s based on the number of people quarantined. If only one went into quarantine and the other kept going about the ship, I don’t think that person gets a refund. But if both cabin mates quarantine, even if only one is positive, the refund is for both people.
