It's a 12-pack - but you can order 2. ~$7 per dozen. Should be there unless a new change.

You have not indicated which level of Deluxe Balcony (Dx) you booked. You won't get anything worse than what you booked. If you booked a GTY DB, then you won't get a DC, DD, DE. If you booked a DE GTY, then could be that same level of better. If you booked a GTY DA (the best, unless there is a D1 on the ship), you could get a ME (lowest Mini if you were upgraded to next cabin class).

Depends on what you mean by that? Your Cruise Personalizer and the App will update with the cabin number. If you have a TA, they are alerted and their office may send you out a revised Invoice or Princess Travel Summary. I am not sure if the Princess booking system (POLAR) automatically sends you an email if you were a direct booking.

Or a TA. TA?

I would expect guest needs to bring their own BT adaptor/transmitter that would plug into audio out jack. PCL doesn't have modern sound technology connections. I am not sure there is an audio out jack accessible. Probably need certain audio jack cords and such.

Doesn't matter. As stated above, Princess uses local time and changes ship time to local time in advance of arriving at a particular port.

Check the Daily Activities to ensure the open DR is the one on Deck 5. The DR is open for breakfast all days and lunch on sea days plus embarkation day. It is always the DR that contains the Reserve Dining section.

Maybe they should put a token machine in the casino. Sometimes lucky; sometimes not.

Yes, PCL uses local time.

Right. DMW does not block guests into same table each night... whatever the style is. You do need to request that.

This would be the page at Princess.com to keep an eye on (don't see anything comedy-themed right now): https://www.princess.com/ships-and-experience/special-events/

AFAIK, all airlines in North America (at least) give 24 hrs from time of ticketing to cancel with refund and no penalty.

My guess is Steve Morris.

These may not be your flights as I don't recall your original post in the deleted thread. But we can shop fares for early summer next year to Rome (FCO) from Montreal (YUL). I accidentally began looking at it from YYZ, but recalled you will use YUL and pricing is different of course (costs more it seems). In late June, Transat begins daily flights - otherwise you have to work around their schedule in shoulder seasons. Transat sells an Eco Budget ticket which is a bit unusual for transatlantic flying in that it excludes a checked bag and of course other restrictions like no changes or refunds. EZ-Air is selling the Eco Standard ticket which does include a checked bag (to 50.5 lb). This is similar to domestic North America where EZ-Air does not sell the stripped down Economy tickets with nothing included, but quotes standard economy (the original economy we are all used to). If a guest wants to fly most budget all the way, then EZ-Air can be beat, but let's compare apples to apples. For a Rome round trip leaving in late June from YUL and returning July 20, I see EZ-Air at $1,353 for Flexible and $1,453 for Restricted. So I am not sure which flights you are looking at showing "much lower" in Restricted. What I see is consistent with what I normally see when shopping airfares. BTW, since I am in Canada, these fares are showing in CAD on Princess.com. The flights are NS from YUL-FCO. If I use Transat's website, the Eco Standard fare for same flights is $1,374. This is $21/pp MORE than EZ-Air and EZ-Air gives complete flexibility to change flights, dates, and airlines until ticketed. If I shop Eco Budget on the same flights on Transat website, the fare is $1,184, which is $169 LESS than the EZ-Air quote. But, it is an unfair comparison since it is not the same thing. I realize you can buy the Eco Budget you must be referring to from Transat and then pay $75 fee for a checked bag. This brings total cost to $1,259. The savings is $94 over purchasing from EZ-Air, but of course you get added benefits with EZ-Air. It is up to guest to decide of course if extra cost is worth it. Same with Transat's Option Plus. At $119, it includes the $75 checked bag, meaning you pay $44 for some extra perks, including seat selection and priority processing. This seems a valuable offering to me and if I was to fly Transat would likely do that.

ETIAS is for the EU which no longer includes the UK.

Readers of this thread should note that the menus at this link were the original draft ones and not the finals that are deployed on the ships.

Should be NP at all. Easy to get seated if willing to share IMO. Just decide ahead of time if you want a 6-top or 8-top, or do you care?

True, but it is all prompted - same as making an original booking.

Who remembers the final 10 - 15 seconds of the 24 TV series? Chloe had the last line, with tears in her eyes no less. I doubt we will ever see the end of clothing and formal night debates. Even if Princess re-worded their recommendations.

No. But you can still speak to a DR Mgr or DR Host and ask them to block you into the same table for the TD experience. (Unless guest is looking for TD experience, there isn't really a reason to see the DRO - formerly MD). You can also access DMW via the web version of the App.

Wow. That is getting really restrictive.

Sure, but beers are $7 and up now.

Is that time frame for domestic or international as your example to FCO on BA? I do think it can vary for international. Perhaps it was a special promo to attract business - no idea - but when I switched to AF in March 2022 for a Europe-bound flight, my cost dropped in half for Business Class and it never went lower on AF or any other airline. I dumped an AC booking, but to be fair it was NS to FCO. (Happy to take a decent connection to save >$1,700 US). So, that was about 6 mths and change out. The pricing went up soon after and never came close to what I had booked for. When I switched to BA/AA (second leg was a codeshare) in June for the return, I was paying $250 more total to move from PE (LH/AC) to Business. When I upgraded the final cruise to a Balcony at end of June, the BA/AA fare was a paltry $12 less. So, at 3.5 mths out, I had the lowest BC fare for the return.

Some members who do "live from" reports on their cruises do post some bar menus, but they would be hard to find. Do you really need to see a bunch of menus, or are you really just looking for a range of prices for certain types of drinks? IDK of a website that would reliably have up-to-date bar menus. There is also an extensive wine menu - are you into wine as well?
