Since the 18% has been baked into the menu price. Soooo, Princess should be figuring the difference between the AUD value of max drink price in the AUD Plus plan.

I am in the camp of we will sail on the Island again for a special itinerary. As for the Coral, no doubt it can be a better experience, but Princess does not have these ships sailing the same routes, so it isn't an option to take Coral over Island. One exception - Coral has been doing the WC out of Australia whereas Island does it from Florida and California.

Where is he "putting it in" exactly?

Just occurred to me if there will be any issue for a port side guest to head over to the starboard side Cabana Deck in search of shade if sun is hitting the port side. Same idea in reverse as well.

But does this setting end up preventing some eligible guests from making dining reservations which is supposed to be a perq.

Yes, it is offered in the App. I expect it will still be there in the new version.

OKA, a maxi bar!

Unless there is a real price difference (and I have yet to personally be impacted by anything negative in that sense), I always book the separate voyages. Other non-obvious advantages to this are being able to re-fare for a price drop on individual segments and independent to/from flights in EzAir which allows for changing one-direction flight independently in situation of a price drop while preserving the other direction.

<I just notice several responded to what I had written>.

It often depends on length of voyage. You get more OBC from a FCD with longer voyages. Many guests own CCL stock and can get $100/segment or $250 per voyage. A lot of veterans use Princess and they get $250. Doesn't take long to get to the range mentioned. Some guests are using agencies that charge the PCL cruise fare and then rebate back in OBC or other cash equivalents. Personally, I use US agencies that give a discount off the cruise fare so that our OBC doesn't get too large.

Several new names to me there.

All that is being corrected is the Medallion. GS is not correcting the Princess reservation system that has wrong data or a bug.

(Virtually) No one is going to be going to the Cabanas at $500/day and hardly anyone is going to go to Sanctuary and pay $99/day to sit on the same loungers as on the open deck. Perhaps a handful of suite folks baking in the sun is all I would think. And I doubt that is much of an exaggeration.

Don't understand this. I have never had an independent provider that was not going to wait. The good ones understand ship time can vary a bit. I'd be finding another tour provider. That said, we have scheduled a meetup for 30 minutes after dock time and not had issues, even if a bit late. I just make sure everyone knows to be down and ready to disembark before the appointed hour.

Glad I didn't bother to open it before landing on your two posts.

How could it not?

Especially when many folks have had incorrect birthdates put into a booking that doesn't match their PCL guest profile (not to mention other various things).

It's the hottest selling item on Amazon this week. Ours arrives today. We got one mainly for inside our condo here in FL. Have one at northern home that reads the outside as well. Down here, I'd like to be able to get humidity readings anywhere inside besides what our NEST thermostat indicates.

IMO, most of the issues these days will tie back to bad/corrupt data if we knew the truth.

Not if the waiter sees it first and comes and snatches it away. 🤣

Maybe Princess called the hotel and got him the upgrade. We have all been wishing PCL recognize a great Canadian!

But still no excuse for uncomfortable chairs. You'd think they could at least have something comfortable (recognizing that everyone can have different ideas of comfort).

For me - and I know I have said this before - I think those that indicate it works fairly well to quite well and is a plus are really thinking of the on board experience. Where the thing has been a chronic mess in several areas is with the pre-cruise experience.

Wish everyone's photos were as clear as yours.
