So there could be up to 3,000 different plans one for each guest. I would hate to try and administer that

I like to at least have a window so I can check the weather before I dress. Back in the early 1990’s we were in an inside for 10 days in Alaska and they slipped a note under the door each day with weather data. It always said 60 degrees and cloudy. It was actually in the 40’s and wet. The must have pre printed thousands of them

Alaska on Ruby Princess: Newbies looking for pro-tips
memoak replied to Nily D's topic in Princess Cruises
MDR is open for lunch on sea days and breakfast everyday. You can have as many or as few as you want. The buffet is on lido deck and is an alternative to MDR -
I really don’t appreciate being called an alcoholic. Some of use don’t go to bed until 1:00 am we have plenty of time for cocktails. I am 73 and yes I go to gyms. Packages are what they are I don’t get a discount from Medicare if I don’t go to a doctor one month

All Princess ships are anytime dining. If you meet people on board you can ask to be seated together

Alaska on Ruby Princess: Newbies looking for pro-tips
memoak replied to Nily D's topic in Princess Cruises
Jeans without holes are fine I wear them all the time. Formal nights I wear slacks but no tie or coat most times. International Cafe is free, pizza by the slice on lido is always free only the sit down venue is casual All 3 dining rooms are MDR’s and have the same menu -
Just look at the patter or lunch menu
-
Since only suite guests can use the concierge services there is never going to be a line service will be the same. It is part of the suite experience like laundry service and free embarkation night specialty dinner. We don’t tip for any of those Most of our tips go to servers, stewards and bartenders that we have used frequently
-
If I counted coffee, water and sodas I would be over or close to the limit by dinner
-
I think that is a very good menu I see several options that looks good to me
-
An you send the beautiful young woman to my cabin please

Pub lunch never went away it is served in the MDR now. It has been that way on my last 5 cruises. Much better no more long lines down the corridor

Request for a Cruise Meal Box for Excursions
memoak replied to akaCruiser's topic in Princess Cruises
Most ports will not allow fresh food off the ship -
No the charge is if you use the app to order. If you order in person you can have all the sodas you want they are included
-
We find it much better now. In the 1990’s we were paying ny the drink and even back then it came to over $100 per day. Now we pay $120 for the plus package and get the gratuities and Wi-Fi included. Since I retired I also retired all my ties. For formal nights I dress in slacks and a long sleeve shirt. For casual nights it is short sleeve shirt and either jeans or cargo pants
-
Even just counting beers and cocktails I am at 6 or so before dinner add 2 specialty coffees and waters and I will be very thirsty by the time I hit the casino
-
If you would like to pay for our 8-10 drinks a day which would be well over $200 feel free to until then we will sail with plus
-
I would not make it into late night if they counted all drinks in the 15
-
Not everyone uses the app some in fact claim they put their phone in safe and others don’t have smartphones
-
Thank you that was not specified on the earlier post
-
Since we almost never book excursions this is not for me plus it doesn’t tell me limitations on drink. Dollar amount or number of drinks
-
The Churchills / Arcade area are not very large on most ships and some are not near the casino like on the Coral
-
The last thing I want is anyone signing to me at dinner
-
And then we would all be asking for refunds. They may cave in and give a few extra meals on longer cruises but if you add unlimited casual to plus packages it would take things back to having hour long waits to get into Alfredo’s
