    Purchasing canned soda package - selection?

    in Princess Cruises

    Posted

    "Coke" products per the website

     

    Canned Soda Package $11.80 6 cans for the price of 5

    Choose any six canned sodas listed below in any combination for the price of five: Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Diet Sprite, orange soda, soda water, tonic water, ginger ale.

     

    and as you posted you are new to Princess ... you can bring onboard as much soda and water as you want without any additional charge ...

    Next time: cut out the middleman. When you get an upsell offer, you don't have to go through your TA. Just make the call yourself.

    of course ... unless the email goes to the TA first ?

    Plan B is work on upsales.    On the other hand, the opposite can happen.  They overestimate cancellations and find they are overbooked.  Then they start on Plan C,  move-overs..  If they don't work, they will go to Plan D, start free upgrades to free up the cheaper cabins in hopes of last minute sales. That doesn't happy too often these days as they can usually accomplish what they want with upsales.

    I would think move overs would be the plan of last resort as it 'costs' Princess the most ..

    Why Do You Cruise?

    It's like the first time you smoke a cigarette.  That buzz is incredible for a 12 year old.

    The serotonin coursing through your body makes you feel like everything you worried about your whole life wasn't even important anymore.

    I took a 14 day Grand Princess in 2006 from Rome, up to the French Riviera, down through the Bay of Naples, with Vesuvious towering in the background, gazed up at Etna passing through the Straight of Sicily, sat on my state room bed and watched the tiny Greek islands in the distance passing by like planets drifting past a space ship porthole, took my shoes off to feel the clay tile sidewalks in Mykonos and Corfu under my feet, and sat in my 3rd floor room of the Palazzo Santangelo overlooking the Grand Canal in Venice and cried my eyes out at how beautiful the view was toward the Rialto.

    I've been chasing that monkey every since.
     

    I was expecting to read you ate the last mango in Paris ... but yeah ... what a trip and lifetime experiences ..

    Booking things on ship in advance

    I agree that booking excursions ahead of time with OBC is a good thing to do.

    We would only book ship excursions if they are in some way very special.

    You can wait until you are on board to book spa treatments.

    We enjoyed the thermal suite perk and first night specialty dinner on our last cruise.

    I agree that you can wait to book other specialty dinners on board.

    also ... suite has Sabatini's ( or other specialty restaurant ) for breakfast ... no charge

    Club Class dining

    Full mdr menu available for room service ...

    Thanks - I did not know if you were able to carry it around.

    any drink purchased from Princess, including beer, can be taken most anywhere on the ship ... no open container 'laws' to worry about.

     

    your 'free from corkage fee' wines/champagnes are to be consumed in your cabin ( some have posted about pouring it in a glass and carrying it wherever ... )

    I'm certain they didn't take a photo of us on our recent Medallion cruise. Every time I saw an image on their screens and when I mucked around with the onboard screens near the stairwells, the photo that I took was shown.

    it can work both ways ... on our OM cruise, with medallions in hand pre-cruise ... my pre-cruise security photo was accepted as submitted, while my wife had to have hers taken over on the ship ... twice, as I remember
