Thanks so much for the great review. Sounds like a wonderful family bonding experience!

Fortunately this was actually just a schedule change that worked out to our benefit. Still have the same departure and return flights booked on the 1st cruise, even though the return is way past the 5 day new limit. Fingers crossed it'll stay that way, but I'm not too confident.

And when I go to Change Your Flights, there's now no option for just one way. Between the Dining reservations fiasco and this, it's like Princess is TRYING to get me to cancel!

This doesn't bode well..... I had both departure and return flights reserved on the 1st leg of our B2B, which obviously has a return flight far past the 5 day limit and this is what is coming up when I go to Manage Your Flights

And 5 days afterward.

This just happened. We have two consecutive cruises booked in February. I have been checking for flight discounts daily using both reservations, and just today the 5 day limit started.

I’m sure many here will wonder why I’m questioning a measly $5.00. For context.. I was seriously considering a St Maarten excursion that was $149.95 per person. Has been that price for a LONG time. Then a supposed 20% shore excursion sale happened. That same excursion was “on sale” for $149.95. A week ago that same excursion was $179.95. Now it’s $184.95. Independent bookings have never looked more appealing!

With all the distraction with MDR reservations, anyone else notice the $5.00 increase on every Princess shore excursion? My my Princess… you never cease to astound me. This right after a 20% “sale”? Brilliance or complete lunacy? I guess time will tell. My guess is another “special shore excursion sale” is coming.

They were at 7:30 & 9:30 this year on the Emerald

@PescadoAmarillo has just shared the email she and I just received in the Dining Reservations thread. I’m assuming everyone will be getting that same email very soon.

Just got the same email.

Or they assume that those of us not on Twitter are too old to notice that June 17 has come and gone. 😁

So it’s now 6:06pm PST time… Any minute now, right? 🤣

Kinda hoping my post would generate more “tongue in cheek” sarcasm… Please please let us all not be so “Covid Complacent” that we’ve lost our humor at incompetence. I know this isn’t worthy of anger… maybe ..but maybe not But it’s definitely worthy of sarcasm, right? 😆

Ya I’m sure they’ll figure it all out by then and that will certainly make everyone happy. And I have no doubt that all’s well that ends well.. 😜

June 17th…. OMG the magical date when all will be right with Princess Dining!! The best of all worlds… you want old school traditional, we got that! You want flexibility to eat when you want, but you know exactly when that will be on a daily basis. We got that! You want the true loosy goosy freedom of I’ll eat when I want… we got that too! Except that maybe, just maybe… achieving that isn’t so easy??? OMG Princess!! What were you thinking? 😜

No offence meant. Just not that Italian to me. Lol… now I’m sure an Italian CCer will correct me on that too! 😁

Steak and Beans seems like such a strange combo. 👎

Night #2 was a formal night, correct?

Oh that sucks. Worthy of a send back for sure, but if you’re anything like me that’s not an easy thing to do. 😩

Thanks so much for these! I am a huge lover of pavlova and that one looks delicious! Sorry the restaurant wasn’t a hit overall though. And I laughed when I read about your DS loving sushi, but never wanting to go to Ocean Terrace! Teenagers… right? 😆

Fabulous review so far! Eagerly waiting for Food Porn and Reviews! 😁

I stand corrected. Did not know that Barq’s had caffeine, thanks.

There’s no caffeine in root beer.
