We were on the Coral Princess (Dec 7 - 17) in D631. Balcony is completely covered. There is a You Tube video of D631 on the Island Princess. Cabin is the same. Balcony furniture on the Coral is teak. Table with two chairs and 2 lounge chairs. Absolutely loved the suite and the Coral Princess. Cabin location is perfect for everything.

We have friends sailing in January in a Promenade cabin. They have been offered a day at the Sanctuary at no charge. You may want to ask about that option.

We were on the Royal in March 2014. The price was $199 for the week. I inquired about daily passes and was told that only weekly ones would be sold. We did use the Enclave all week. However, IMHO I would not spend the money again. The heated beds were hardly warm. The water beds were not warm. We pretty much used the pool and a couple of the saunas. The changing areas were not very spacious and lacked simple things like tissues and trash containers. Nice but will not repeat. Not sure of the 10-day cruise price.

We've travelled many times using our Delta Am X card and EZ Check. There was only one time that we had an issue and was charged the $25 / bag. By the time you get your cruise folio of charges, it's too late to do anything to correct it on the ship. I contacted Delta who informed me that I needed to deal with Princess. I called Princess and was advised to send an e-mail to Customer Relations and include any documentation that would show that our first bag per person was free. I did that and about 2 weeks later I received a call from Princess that we would receive a credit on our Am X card. It could take up to 12 weeks before it would appear on our statement. I'm waiting for our next statement to arrive, Hopefully, the credit will appear. If not, I'll be back on the phone with Princess. This all happened at the end of January of this year. We cruised again in March and we did not have any issue with charges by EZ check. I would recommend that you take a copy of your itinerary, receipt showing payment with your Delta Am X card and write on your EZ Check paperwork that the first bags are free. Good Luck.

No. The Royal has the Enclave and there is charge to use it. There have been previous posts regarding the price and what is offered.

We just got off the Royal. The price was $199 for the week. I inquired about daily passes and was told that only weekly ones would be sold. We did use the Enclave all week. However, IMHO I would not spend the money again. The heated beds were hardly warm. The water beds were not warm. We pretty much used the pool and a couple of the saunas.

We were on this cruise, as well. And would agree that Bernadette needs an attitude adjustment. We moved from Platinum to Elite on this cruise and never received a status change letter from her. Not a big deal, but something we were looking forward to getting. We were sitting near her in the disembarkation lounge. Appeared she did not enjoy her job at all.

We disembarked the Ruby this morning. Scheduled for 8:30 a.m. departure and were called at 8:20, in the terminal and through Customs by 8:45. Stepped outside the terminal and into an airport shuttle, and at our gate by 9:15. This was one of the smoothest disembarkation ever, even with 25,000+ people at the port.

Thanks for your response on E-Z Check along with all the reports on the shorter cruise. We are heading out on 1/13. First time on a short cruise but looking forward to warmer weather.

Do you know if E-Z Check is still available on the shorter cruises? Thanks.

We are not as well travelled as you, but we cruise often and rarely look at the routes. It's all about the ship:)
