Princess cruise planners (mine anyway) is the worst in the industry.   I even look at other lines when looking for a cruise vacation.  The last time I attempted to contact her it was over a week before I received a response and the prices had increased substantially.  When I said something to her I was told that I should have contacted their 800 number for faster service.  Good luck.  

What are your thoughts on the different Jubilee bars and your favorite drinks at each?  We enjoy Achlemy on other ships but there are so many more bars on the Jubilee and we cruise next week.  

Is Chibang, Guys Pig and Anchor, or Cucina del Capitano included on the Jubilee for 2024 or is there an additional charge?  Can you make reservations prior to sailing or does one need to wait until boarding the ship?   Do you need to make the reservation the day of dining or can it be made in advance?  Thank you 

I just disembarked the Regal on 12/17 carrying my own luggage.  Lined up at 7:20 and was in my car (parked in the parking garage across the street) leaving by 8:30am.  No facial recognition but never stopped moving once the ship was cleared.  Super easy!!!

Do they have Karaoke on the Regal Princess?  If so, how often?  Thanks

Pro tip.  If you are only purchasing the package for a the first leg of the trip and do not max out your 15 drinks for the day ….when you retire to your cabin for the evening order the remainder of your drinks for the day to be delivered to your room to “stock up” for the remaining legs of the trip. I believe that you can order 4 of any of the drinks to be delivered at once.  

Do they still serve stuffed olives in Crooners?

If I buy the Princess Premier I understand that I receive 2 specialty dining visits.
If my kids are traveling with me in a separate room can I take one of my kids / or a friend to dinner and use the 2 dining credits at once or do they have to pay?   Am I personally the only one who can redeem the specialty dining credits or can I “share” one of the credits with someone else?   Thanks 

Thinking of booking a cruise.  Which is better and why?

When you place an order on OceanNow do you need to stay in the spot where you ordered it from until it arrives or do they find you wherever you may be?  Ie….order a drink while playing in the casino then retire to your stateroom before the drink comes…will they deliver the drink to your stateroom?

Can you purchase Princess Prizes separately or is it only available with the Premier package?  Cost?

Who has won and what did you win?

I know Mr Sanchos opens at 9 but can you get there early?  I plan to do the all inclusive and our ship docks at 7am.  Can I find a longer and claim a spot before it opens at 9?  Thanks

Curious how service might be if so many passengers have a package with 15 drinks each 

What is the % of passengers who purchase a package vs do not?

How was the service there?

What bar has this menu?

I do not know where they may be?

I have read your entire blog and I don’t see any mention of the “piano” entertainment onboard. Any experience or thoughts on this? 

Does Crooners still have the complimentary stuffed olives? 

If purchased on day 2 on a 7 day cruise do you just pay for 6 days?

Where / Who is the best entertainment on the ship?   
Does anyone know who the piano player is?   Are they good?

Thanks 

With the princess plus package can you order a “double”?  If so is the price 2x the shot price then they charge you the difference over $15 or do they charge you for 2 drinks

out of your 15?
Also do they limit you to 1 drink every 5 minutes like Carnival?

Can anyone provide any insight into the OceanNow service on Regal?   Trying to decide whether it’s worth getting.  How quick is the service?  Any other comments?

I have the Princess Plus and am sailing on the Regal Princess in a couple of weeks.  Can anyone tell me how the drink package is handled on the first day.  I paid for the first day but am seeing that it might not work or is limited and they offer a $25 OBC to compensate for anything that might be purchased before the drink package starts working.  Thank you 

Can you cash out gift cards in the casino?  I.e.  make a charge to your room on a slot machine then spin a few times then cash out your w balance at the cash cage at the end of the cruise. Then place the gift card onto your sign and sail account to cover the amount charged on the slot machine?
