good news - if we get to book the ultimate balcony dinner - we get flowers with that bad news - it's only a 5 day cruise and we are planning to book the dinner on day 3 - so not much time to enjoy them. wonder if we book the dinner immediately upon embarkation that they would deliver the flowers to the cabin that day to enjoy for the whole cruise? - never hurts to ask, huh?

is there a 'listing' of what 'prizes' will definitely be awarded on your specific cruise? we are 'considering upgrading to 'Premier' on our little 5 day cruise for $270 total - 250 + 8% increase in insurance, but we also have $200 obc to use for increased drink prices (nicer wines) Balcony dinner, if available, or a couple of specialty dining nights ... pics are not important, to us at least

as soon as you step on board ... and ends when you get off on your disembarkation day - yep, a little morning eye opener before you exit ...

after the Med season, SUN, heads to FTL to do East/West Caribbean cruises - don't really care which - but would like to know dates and prices for those

$200 pp per day, including PLUS for a balcony - yeah, no - prolly not happening on Sun

sailing solo with drop and go pricing ... better to book base, then call the amazing TA's and have them add PLUS

unfortunately, Princess is moving in the opposite direction fortunately, there are other lines that still have those in their fleet

Old man Kelsey's Ocean ... Princess no ... Pacific Pacific Princess

agreed - for our upcoming cruise - we can 'bid' on a Vista suite ... but there is not one 'currently available' on the Princess website for booking

"WE" would definitely miss the balcony, sorry ... the difference in a window suite and a vista suite is $300 pp - $60pp pd for the balcony based on "minimum bids"

I just got a 'bid upgrade email' - 5 days after final - spot on as per the website - I'll evaluate and report back ... CB, little 5 day at the end of Nov - we are currently in a deluxe balcony, our cat is "sold out" - but the email includes mini's, CC mini's, window suites, vista suites, premium suites, penthouse suites, and aft facing PH suites ... a CC mini upgrade would be about $200 pp less than the current website pricing a PH aft upgrade would be about $655 pp less than the current website pricing any upgrade accepted would be subject to 8% increase in "AON insurance" the Aft PH suite upgrade starts at $685 pp ($137 pd) the CC mini starts at $120 pp ($24 pd)

How has the 5 year old done when taken to a nicer ( think Ruth Chris) steakhouse on land where a meal could easily last 1.5 hours or so?

if anyone is pro long pants - they will quote the Princess 'policy' if anyone is pro shorts - they will report what they have actually happened and seen on board

good for you that you booked directly with Princess, and they could easily handle that

Canada is a definite no-go for us anytime soon - Alaska or New England

how did you like the land tour after the cruise - most here seem to prefer the land first then relaxing cruise it seems ( which is what we would choose )

JP comes from Disney - Mickey wants all your money and an inclusive experience

First night and last night - no problem

@geoherb thanks for the pics - If we get to do this, I need to remember to ask that kiwi not be plated on the canapes ... wife is highly allergic

which, would also reduce the seating area for the non-revenue buffet... according to most posts here - planks and steamers was never really a revenue producer - much like the pop-up Crab Shack

when ordering wine in Vines - I just usually say something like - I'll have a Cab - we have the PLUS package - I'll defer to your selection - never been disappointed ... I'm a simple man

I was once asked to take off my visor ... still had on shorts and a long sleeve shirt, no problem

retrofit the Crown class ships to a Gigi's (aka Alfredo's) - major score/ win for Princess

I'm guessing the "2 pats of butter" have been resolved by Princess and that is no longer a concern for passengers - at least Princess took care of that
