  1. Many will, but we are like you, we don't spend a dime out there except for tips. It looks like it will be a total party area, which is not our thing. We are totally happy grabbing our free loungers/umbrella on Chill Island Beach by Wacky Seagull and totally relaxing for the day. Buffets are great and offer so many options. We have the bev pkg, so drinks are included. We go to CocoCay at least 10 times a year and love it.
  2. We cruise all the time and I never gain more than a pound. I eat on a cruise the same way at home. Lots of veggies and salad and fruits. I drink, but still don't gain weight. I never eat desserts, in the gym at 6 am every day for an hour. I only eat chicken/turkey by choice, and love the Indian Curry, but very careful about when and how much to get. I don't go on a cruise to eat, I go to enjoy the ship and beaches. Lot of veggie options, and salad options.
  3. Allure is my favorite ship! Looking forward to a B2B on her in January. Doesn't matter what ship we go on, she will probably stay my favorite. As for it being 3 and 4 nights, does not bother us at all. We do a ton of short cruises a year, we are 66 and 79, and we totally enjoy them. Never see anyone out of control. We love being on the ship and taking everything in.
  4. always. We prepay the tips and will still always add extra. Just part of the cruise for us. They work so had and deserve anything and everything extra they can get. Would never, ever, take the prepaid tips off as I want everyone to share in those, but then we tip extra for drinks, dinner, cabin person, etc.
  5. We are Pinnacle and get 6 free drinks a day and still get the Drink Package. Totally worth it to us.
  6. With Liberty out of FLL we are usually off the ship before 7. We go to the Suite/Pinnacle area, carry off our luggage and so are the first to get off. Usually in our car and on the way home by 7:30 at the latest.
  7. We always stay at LaQuinta FLL airport when we stay in FLL. They offer a shuttle to the ship for around $15 if I remember right. We only stay in FLL if we fly, but LaQuinta is very close to both the airport and the cruise terminal. Nothing fancy, but clean, has a pool, continental breakfast, so works for us.
  8. I actually found the list. Husband will be totally fine with either Bullet or Makers Mark. He likes Buffalo Trace as well. So won't have to upgrade to Premier, Plus will be fine.
  9. Does anyone have a list of what Bourbons are included in the Plus Package? Thanks.
  10. If it is not past final payment, you can move the cruise but if you have a non refundable deposit, will cost $100 pp to move to a different sailing date.
  11. Personally, if I am doing a B2B I want it on the same ship so I don't have to pack and unpack again. I always make sure we have the same cabin on a B2B for that reason.
  12. I take protein powder and a shaker cup. Just pack individual servings of the powder, throw it all in a zip lock and put it in my checked luggage. I cannot stand any protein drink, but because I eat little to no protein, my doctor told me I had to start drinking the protein stuff. So I buy the highest protein powder I can so I get 30 grams of protein per serving. I mix it up, chug it down, and then I am done.
  13. We do 3 or 4 night cruise about 10 times a year, never have any issues with drunks. We are 66 and 79 and love our 3 night getaways. Have 2 more this year on Liberty and then 10 next year on various ships. It is an amazing weekend getaway and we love it. Going on wonder Oct 8th and cannot wait!
  14. We have no problem with it. Husband is totally happy with the choices. We are not 5 star diners . He thinks the food is just fine.
  15. We love Freedom, do her a lot. She is going to start doing 7 nights out of FLL next year, already have her booked for a 3 night in June 2024 and a 7 night in Sept 2024. Love everything about that ship.
  16. I never book the cruise insurance. I book Allianz for an annual policy or Travel Insured International for a cruise by cruise policy.
  17. I do everything, but if you don't upload a picture, they will take it at the port when you check in..
  18. yes, but snorkeling will be better off Chill Beach at CocoCay than it will be at Labadee. We have been going to CocoCay for years and never wear water shoes.
  19. We have been on all the larger ships, going on Wonder in 2 weeks. We are Pinnacle and still get the drink package because it is worth it to us. The Dining package is a waste of money to us, but that is why there are options for everyone. We never ever get trashed, we are in our 60's and late 70's. We love sitting at the pool and watching the world go by, so much free entertainment. We like to be with people. Personally, we never go in the Solarium unless it is raining, way to quiet in there for us and a lot of them are super humid. So everyone enjoys something different. We are super excited to go on the only Oasis Class we have not been on in 2 weeks. Cannot wait to go on Wonder.
  20. you can get them at any beach and use them at any beach.
  21. Okay , perfect that is what I thought. So will get him some Diet Ginger in cans and then take like 4 Frescas for me, so that we don't have more than 12 total.
  22. I have done a ton of searches on Princess website but cannot find the answer to my question. I know I can bring 2 bottles of champagne since i am with my husband. But we also want to bring diet soda. Is it cans only? Can I bring 16.9 oz bottles? Trying to figure out what to buy so he has enough Diet Ginger and I have some Sprite Zero or Fresca. Thanks.
  23. I never said I had to be on the ship, I said I cannot do it on the app yet. I know I will be able to watch the videos before we board, but just used to Royal where I can watch them any time I choose. Once on the ship we will go to muster and get it done as soon as we can.
  24. I saw that also. So different from Royal. I can watch the video and stuff weeks in advance and then just have to go to muster once on the ship. So trying to get used to the new Princess stuff since have not been on them since 2017.
