Thanks, we are reserved (for now) in Estella for our March cruise on the Sky. Maybe he will still be there.

Thanks for the live. We board next month.

Meatloaf himself sang it for you "I can't do that". 🤪

Nope, could be any cabin in the category you bid on.

Same here. Just got a repeat summary from our Sapphire cruise almost 6 weeks ago. Nothing has changed.

As long as she is listed as on the same combined onboard account. They track each persons spending as you go and then show the combined total credit or debt. Check your account onboard either electronically or print a paper copy at the kiosk near guest services to be sure.

Me either, but I do now spring for plus even though I don't make full use of it. The point is being able to splurge a bit and enjoy using what you saved for all your life. Spending habits at home and on cruise are two different things. I'm there to experience things I don't do at home. It is hard to change habits from a saver to a spender, but either in the extreme is not good IMHO.

Going on a cruise in the past and not worrying about every penny was tough for me. The older I get, the more the "can't take it with you" mentality is starting to sink in, but not too hard. I still like to find the deals. Everything in balance.

Looking forward to your report. We will be on the Sky in March

no

In our experience for pre-cruise excursion reservations it only uses the OBC listed for the individual on the reservation. The rest requires payment. Once onboard, you can link the accounts and then excursion reservations will come out of the combined account. But you run a big big risk on availability if you wait.

Thanks. I presume this would be similar on Caribbean Princess. Maybe in Sabatini's for lunch ? Anybody recently on that ship?

We noticed that also on recent cruises. The white medallion used to be for the first year on new ships now it seems they are for new passengers. White with a blue logo is the new blue?

"Free" with the new package price? 🙄

Was your cruise booked as one 25 day sailing?

I'm sure this has been asked an answered before on these boards but I can't find or remember the answer. If you book a combined voyage as in a 14 night that is also sold as two 7 nights with the package is it two for the whole trip or each leg?

True, but on the other hand it would be easier for onboard accounting and the guest services if more inclusive. People would still spend OBC and maybe more on other non included things, so same or more $ to Princess. Plus even more profit from those of us who don't make the most of the packages in the first place. If that would make up for those that opt for another line is a good question. but other similar lines are often also going more inclusive. I'm sure the accounts are considering the bottom line as that is all matters to them. Would love to have a spy in the meetings.😉

Kind of says it all. Increase the "value" of the packages so more get them. Will they then eventually eliminate the standard fare so plus will be the new standard package? We will see.

No problems on Chrome here.

A button in the bottom right hand corner of the Princess webpage.

I see that they are saying "early December " now. Might not be available for download tomorrow. They have kicked cans down the road on roll out dates in the past.

I never have but I believe you can already gamble outside of the casino at the kiosks or on your device. Play for cash anywhere on board You don’t need to do your gaming in the casino to win big.
