No changes It's currently still the same price in advance as aboard. $60/80usd Plus/Premier

Only a portion of it. Half is fully covered, half is not (or maybe 2/3 and 1/3, give or take)..

Last time I was on CB, I had Premier Cruise Package and my friend had Plus. I have no idea how they calculated it, but we definitely shared, and shared again two more times. So if they charged it as two meals - she would have ended up paying for one of them. As far as I know - that was basically one serving - and it's shareable. And I was the only one "charged" as I ordered it.

The charcuterie board and accoutrements is extensive. One order for one person is definitely a meal, between two or three people, it's more of a starter. I can see why one wouldn't consider it a meal - it's definitely a lot of food though. Pics below.

It would likely be as disturbing getting up and down from the rollway, which is essentially right next to the man bed as I would be getting up/down from the Pullman.. Rollway setup and third berth only setup: You're less likely to bump the bed using the Pullman..

The third berth is a Pullman, comes out of the ceiling. 4th berth can be a rollaway but is usually a Pullman. Where are you reading a description that says it's a permanent rollaway for the third berth? That would be quite unusual.. What cabin?

It's exactly the same process as using a cruise card to do so. The dealer/croupier takes your medallion, they call the pit boss, pit boss scans medallion and then prints multi -copy receipt for you to sign and you each keep a copy.. and then, voila - dealer or croupier hands over chips, gives medallion back and wishes you luck. Very simple.. Any future okay, hand over your medallion for the casino to track your okay and you earn whatever points via your play.. Same process as when it was a cruise card ..

Ahh, yes, Sun has an IC. No Vines though.

100% sure. Island Princess does not have an International Cafe..

Pianist I. Crooners https://www.facebook.com/share/r/aD9vSGkJbzY5bUTP/?mibextid=D5vuiz Hmm... Again, pretty darn Live.

https://www.facebook.com/share/r/hYPRjPc9ByzuQ5n6/?mibextid=D5vuiz Sailaway. Sure looks like live musicians to me! Otherwise, dang - animatronics has come a long, long way..

There 100% is live music on Sun. Xcitw is the "party" band, they played sailaway, and other atrium events.. There's musicians in O'Malley's playing Irish pub music There's the show orchestra band, that played live backup for the Whitney show the other night. There's a string group. A guest violinist.. Pianist in Crooners. And so forth Whatever that "YouTuber" was going on about is 100 false. There are currently no theater shows, but those are due to begin on the next sailing, supposedly.. Live Music - all over the place.. SMH.

Vines Salty Dog Gastropub Planks (BBQ) Steamers (seafood) Vines may open, with food, earlier on sea days. Generally, the others are dinner.

Island Princess never had an International Cafe, or Vines. They were not replaced with cabins, as they were not there to begin with.. Universe Lounge removed, promenade deck cut off, and casino shrunk by adding cabins, but IC and Vines - nope. They weren't there to begin with .

I'm guessing this is the US passport services? Turnaround in my country is 2 weeks or less. St Lucia. Go figure.

Every time I've been in a mini-suite - the glass of bubbly was brought to the cabin by the cabin steward on day 1, usually before sailaway. The premium canapes are ordered by a card that's supposed to be in your cabin - or your steward provides. Sounds like the steward was really not on their game - no wine glasses and opener, no canape order forms, no bubbles, etc. not great. Salty Dog Gastropub is basically a dinner venue on the ships that have it, not a lunch venue. Same for several of the other venues like Planks, Steamers, etc. Hopefully your next sailing is smoother. And yeah, not a fan of the beds either - but some love them! Lol. Happy sails.

The Enclave has not ever been a Suite perk. That would be the Thermal Suite on Grand and Island class ships. That said, some few Royal class ships' HGM staff decided to gift Enclave to the suite guests, in spite of it not being an actual perk (and the Suite perks listings clearly listed not an option on Royal class ships).. Discovery and Regal come to mind as two who gifted it, at least sometimes.

Yes Very easy, tables with crew all around the atrium on multiple levels selling it, or through the app. The crew member does get recognition for having sold it. $20usd pp per night, same as in advance,. Took effect within a minute or two.

All main dining on Princess is any time dinimg. Princess calls it Dine My Way. You don't have to choose that or anything - it's the default. You can choose to make dinner reservations in the MDR at a time if your choosing or simply walkup and take first available.. there may or may not be a short wait. Drink Packages do not include any dining or anything else but drinks.. period. Perhaps you meant you purchased one of the bundled Cruise Packages? Plus includes some casual dining but no specialty dining while Premier Cruise Package includes 2 specialty dinners and unlimited casual dining. Enjoy.

Planks and Steamers are Casual Venues. They alternate nights, and are located aft in the buffet. There is signage, slightly different decor, etc. if interested, make reservations aboard - they fill up. 5-9pm

There's definitely beverage and food area, right at the 14/15 second mark, shows the counter, glasses, fridges..
