No, you do not have to reserve dining on the app before you sail. I would say just wing it, especially since some nights you may eat in the dining room ,some nights you may eat in the buffet ,some nights you may eat at a casual place, etc. no reason to make reservations that you don’t even know what time you want to eat. Just show up when you’re ready for dinner and of course you may have to wait just like a land based restaurant .

No ,because there are no longer coffee only cards or credits. Only drink packages are available to purchase.

@shanna135 since you’ve probably already made your way to the ship, do let us know how it all went and or do a live from. I enjoy reading the live from posts.

$39 (+ service charge) for Crown Grill & The Catch. The $39.00 price is correct. Service fee?-18% $35. for Sabatini’s. a few great Live from’s The Discovery Princess in February 2024.

@20165 On the Enchanted Princess the concierge lounge is located on Riviera deck near the wedding chapel. As far as how much you want to tip them will depend on obviously the service you receive. As far as tipping and specialty restaurants, it’s a tip ,you can do what you wish or nothing at all. The reason why Princess and many other lines have not had tipping at the end of the cruise is because when there was no longer everyone in the traditional main dining room every night & specialty dining opened that’s how the tipping process went. Everything is added to your daily/ nightly charges, as far as tipping, or if you have the packages as I’m sure you already know. I think what you’re asking is primarily the suite concierge and the specialty dining. How much do people tip them. As far as what other people do ,doesn’t really matter in my opinion. If you think you receive good service at the specialty dining, then tip extra ,otherwise it’s included basically . I believe because everything is “ under “your medallion/cruise card. There is no longer a bill at the specialty dining restaurant for you to sign an extra for a tip ,so your tip would probably have to be in cash.??

@drwbrt and @New2cruise2022. Great Live from with great information. I enjoyed following along.

I’m enjoying your Live from. I’m from S. CA.,get there often to visit family I needed to see this through a Tourist eyes. Apparently I need to get out there and see some of this stuff. Never heard of Porto’s and didn’t know that there was still a version of Bob’s big boy out there. Have a great drive to the port tomorrow and looking forward to more on the ship reports. Thanks.

I’m enjoying your Live from. Safe travels along your journey.

@HBCcruiser great & beautiful photos of the wineries. Love the Guadalupe Valley wineries

So many Great photos ,thanks for sharing your Live from.

This photo is from @sonomaphil.

@BigWaveDave87 yep we always went ( quite some time ago)to Crooners and got the blue cheese stuffed olives. I love those -sad they only have the small ones for you on your cruise with the pimentos.

@HBCcruiser that is quite the balcony. Looks like some fun drinks . Following along on your live.

Joe, great ,glad like Tiffany we are one of the unforgettable ones.🤣 I think Teresa,my mom, & I cruised the first time with you and second time my husband?? Hope to cruise one of these days with you or meet up in CA prior or after one of your cruises on the west coast. I go to CA often. Sadly Teresa passed away last year- cancer. Enjoy your cruises,somewhere I have your email address.

Great photos and following along on your live from. I’ve been on this itinerary many times. Looks like you are having a great time.

This was 2nd formal night on Alaska Itinerary on Royal Princess, I know not Discovery,but might be similar? This is what I believe you were trying to work dinner around.

This was Alaska first formal night on Royal Princess,not Discovery,but might be similar time.

Love your comments,can’t wait to hear about the real live ,starting tomorrow from Discovery on your short cruise. Sorry about your car battery,but it’s fixed…. Yeah. Cruise mode!🛳️

Hi Joe & Amelia, don’t know if you remember me -the strawberry blonde ? We cruised with you a couple times way back. Just wanted to say hi. Enjoy your upcoming cruises. Julie

So true,thanks.

Bought them at Crooners a very long time ago,don’t think they sell them anymore. We love the wineries outside of Ensenada too. Enjoy your retirement cruise.

here’s the recipe from my Crooners playing cards.

Does the wording refer to take & complete next cruise in 60 days or just book the cruise within 60 days for future? That part looks confusing to me but…..

We’ll hopefully not your final cruise. Don’t let a bump in the road stop you from “doing you.” Enjoyed reading your live perspective,it was entertaining. I don’t see a live from this week for the Discovery,so….. last week 2 of them.

Great pictures and live from.
