Here's what I'd like to add about room service. They will track you down! On the Ruby last fall, we ordered lunch from room service. After a nearly two hour wait, my DH was done with that. He wanted to be fed! We went down to the buffet and got some food. We sat down and started eating. A room service guy showed up at our table with our lunch order! We didn't mean to make the poor guy run around tracking us down - we just couldn't see that our order was going anywhere. So, we gave up. We apologized to him, but I'm not sure that was called for.

That's what I've always seen.

I would recommend any of the midship dining rooms. We had the aft dining room last November on the Ruby, and the waiting area was a mess every night. There's not a lot of room, and when everybody showed up at 5:00, it was chaos. Never again. The food is the same in all of them.

Yeah, I remember that. Never could understand it, but I remember it.

Yes, they sure are!

Sorry to hear that. Maybe you can be assigned to a better CVP?

I agree. You should try to get your own CVP. Mine is great, and 90% of our interaction is done via email, which is my preferred contact method.

Honestly, I've never been able to understand how anybody could look at one of those lifejackets and not know how to put it on correctly.

This gets to be really funny sometimes. On one of our cruises last year, after we'd given up trying to understand the announcements, we spent the time they were on speculating on what the heck the accent was.

Cruise before last, we started the video and then absent mindedly left the cabin with it playing. The fact that our medallions weren't in the cabin seemed to have busted us. We had to restart the video and stay in the cabin while it played.

It seems to me that Princess could have avoided some confusion if they'd called the new package some else, like "Ultimate" perhaps.

When I was booking our specialty reservations, that's what I saw too. But then I figured out that you have to pull on the time to scroll. I did that and saw lots of other times.

Maybe they meant baggage fees. You do have to pay those.

My PVP says there is such a thing. I'm picky about cabins, and I've never gotten an unwanted upgrade after she told me that she'd marked the res no upgrade. Maybe I've been lucky, but maybe some other Princess staff just don't bother. Who can tell?

I know this is possible because I've done it. Difference was refunded to my credit card. Call and ask. If you get denied, call again and ask. Success will probably hinge on who you talk to and their willingness to help.
