Yes you can book onboard. We have never booked prior to a cruise and have always been accommodated
and, again, we tried to book onboard as soon as we got onboard, directly at Crooners and were told it was booked for the entire cruise. We could only book Sabatini's for embarkation night and that was it.

That doesn't bode well for Premiere and Plus people hoping to take advantage of the specialty dining options built into the package they paid for. What kind of scam is Princess running here!?
I debated the same as when we booked the SUN P and took Premier. It's only a little 5 day'er and 2 specialty dinners each seems like a no-brainer if we can book them that is.
No specialty dinners included in PLUS by the way - just Premier

Only ladder type steps have been available on the last 4 Princess builds (Sky Princess, Enchanted Princess, Discovery Princess, Sun Princess). The occasional pool might be quite shallow and more manageable but the only place you will find graduated steps will be in the paid-for Thermal Spa.
wonder why? steps with a rail are so much easier to enter the pool as we get older. maybe that's it - Princess doesn't want us in the pool, huh

Exactly they never book the whole restaurant in advance we have never had a problem booking through the dine line once on board
and on our last cruise on the CB - we went straight to the crown grill, tried to book - nope - all booked for entire cruise ... we can get you into Sabatini's, but only for the first night.
plain ole balcony dweller - not in a suite

I sent an email inquiry to Princess in February....yes, it's now March (after several resent attempts). I apologize for the PDF format, but there was no other way to transcribe the voice message that Robert left. This was my phones AI attempt at "translating" voice to text. I wanted documentation to take on my next cruise. Feel free to print and take with you also. Very interesting that "Robert" called me instead of replied by email. I didn't pick up the unknown number (not Princess) so it went to voicemail.
Bottom line:
There is no concierge's lounge on Grand/GEM class ships (I knew that).
Suite passengers do have access to a concierge through guest services (I knew that too).
If you have PLUS or Premier, you will not be charged the $5 Room Service Delivery Charge for ordering off the MDR menu.
full mdr menu benefit - 'sweet benefit' or 'suite' benefit?

Haiti is a separate country from the DR. The Dominican ports Princess serves are hundreds of miles away from Haiti. They're too far away to be much affected by what happens there.
RCL is going to stop going to Labadee - private island

It’s entertainment. We get that this stuff happens. We just like to comment now and then. Sometimes I choose not to play based on how people are playing, how I feel and is there something else I would rather do.
excellent answer - just what I was looking for - Entertainment

If everyone plays it right, and I lose, of course I am not happy but I don't mind as much. When it get more irritating is that everyone does not play right, then I lose as a result of that.
then why even play on a cruise ship when the odds are going to be casual players along side you? For that matter, why does anyone serious about something, food, wine, whisky expect the cruise experience to be the same as a hand picked land experience?

which ship? which bar?

at PE/FLL - they are pretty strict that you must have a free hand to hold on to the escalators.
we use the elevators for balance issues, anyway...

I'll look into the costs for Park19. To add here for all, Princess has communicated expected opening dates for various venues. They are:
-
Dome shows will begin on March 19, 2024
-
Arena shows will begin rolling out on March 29
-
Park19 is open, minus the ropes course, which will be completed March 29, and RollGlider, which will be done on April 27.
-
Spellbound is being tested on this voyage; it should be operational by March 19, 2024.
did Princess "communicate" the "WHY" for the delayed openings?

I've never signed out (but I have been signed out 🤔).
Never seen the pop-up

You are correct. The content of our sign or of our neighbors' is irrelevant to this thread. What is relevant is that a new hire elected to enforce indiscriminately and without documentary support a previously undisclosed Princess policy which bans all signs except those approved in advance by the company. Our room attendant, a safety auditor, room supervisor and even the Front Desk personnel had no issue with door decorations.
perhaps you should request that this thread now be closed to prevent further
edit: and we do enjoy decorating our door 🤔

Oh, I thought it was included in the Premier?
someone posted a drink menu and blue was listed at around $30 for a shot - Premier covers up to $20 - so a surcharge of $10 + 18% ($1.80) = $11.80

they will pay an overage plus 18% for the gold and blue when they can find it.

Looked up on Princess website for 10 day cruise on Caribbean Princess Oct. 28, 2025.
Intrigued by $99 deposit in red letters on their website
Called our TA and told him to book a suite
He fought with Princess for 2 hours when they applied deposit of $2,160.00
Apparently the $99 displayed on their Ad did not apply to suites??!!
Not impressed
