Looks like a wide luxury end cabin?

Welcome to CC and the Princess forum!

Just copy and paste the photo and don't include a URL to FB.

LOL. Some people don't start a week before the cruise. LOL - I have seen live from threads where you are at Page 6 before the boarding.

IMO, a guest can find out before boarding if they were checking their booking info.

With tons of cash to spend on one.

Agree with @Lady Arwen. It seems we need to be vigilant as to cabin assignment and if the unexpected happens be able to contact PCL ASAP to get the original cabin assignment restored. If time has passed, it will be too late.

Might be okay, but I think we are expecting "live from" reports on the first voyages and the OP for those is going to put their content into their own "live from" thread.

I used to have some of those files as well, but they went to shredder when I last did a weeding of files. I do have the most recent or special ones. I have electronic copies of TS, OB Credits, OB Purchases.

Yes, anything else is ridiculous imposition. I'd discuss nicely with a manager.

So sad. They never seem to learn from the past.

SMH so much it almost falls off.

Correct. I didn't mean for my post to imply a guest could order up the entire menu at one sitting. Yes, I am sure you could get two apps and no dessert or other reasonable swaps. They have been flexible in the SD locations about that so why not CD as well. A Premier guest would not need to order all three parts of a full meal either on a CD visit - like just decline dessert for example. Same for a Plus. I don't see why any crew would force the guest to take all parts and waste the food. A Premier guest could potentially visit each CD location on a ship in one day. I know one poster a while back mused how long between one visit and the next must a Premier guest wait before being able to consume more free food (at the same location)? Princess doesn't specify any limit per day like they do with alcoholic beverages.

That sounds like a situation that could be fixed on board and charges adjusted.

How big is your group? Maybe you would mostly fill a CT booking? You need to get on the list ASAP after boarding and then wait and see if invited. If you can fill a table (10-12 max), then let them know. I think you will find price higher than $95 now as all of these prices have gone up. Do you have recent report of it still being $95? CG is a good alternative if you want to spend less.

You might try the South American ports board on this website. I am not sure if there is a special thread for Peru, but you might find help there from boarder range of members.

That is $100 + 18%. IIRC, the no-wine CT is $15 less.

Another might be a partial PC voyage from FLL on an older ship? Worked for someone I know with < 250 days.

Yup, the upcharge for specialty dining (SD) used to include a baked-in gratuity. Now they are adding it on top as a "backdoor" way to increase the prices.

It's offered in the Princess App after boarding. And, yes, it should reflect the 50% off if eligible. It's the difference between 1-device cost and 4-device cost.

Do not book two cabins with a different high-level digit (like a 496 and a 502) because there is a fire wall and no adjoining balconies. Book like 502 and 506 - whatever is together on the deck plan with same high-order digit. Also, if booking PLUS for the parents/adults, you can upgrade one of the 1-device Internet plans included in the package to a 4-device plan and then you have 5 total connections which is MUCH better IMO than expecting two youngers to be sharing a single connection. Also, is the 20-year old going to be 21 by the time you sail (you said a cruise for next year). Anyway, there is no issue have those two on own booking. There is even another workaround for this. Book everyone Standard. Swap cabins upon boarding. Upgrade adults to Plus on board Day 1. Same cost, but you have paid less travel insurance if you buy that and OBC can offset cost of Plus.

You forgot one other condition - your airline must be a participating airline in the program.

Of course a guest could pay every time they visit the place and never claim their free visit. Wouldn't be a great thing to do, but certainly wouldn't be a problem as far as I can understand it. If you know only visiting twice and never going to eat all the food, just order what you want and use the credit. No one on Princess is going to force you to eat three courses.

The idea of guests from same cabin sharing a Prix Fixe meal option and only being charged one of their free meal visits was debated almost endlessly on here last year. TBH, I don't recall how many actual reports from people on a ship who has PLUS fare option and tried this and were either successful or not. We can establish that Standard Fare guests can share whatever they order as they pay either a la carte or prix fixe. Same for Premier guests since they have unlimited meals, so they could order whatever they want. I am quite sure it would be considered out of bounds for a Plus/Premier guest to share their food with a Standard guest, but how is this being monitored/enforced? I don't know that we ever got a number of definitive answers. As always, experiences can vary depending on the ship involved.

Have you been following the official Sun Princess thread? Regular reports on there when folks have been able to access dining res.
