We have taken 10 different Panama Canal cruises with Princess all of them went to Lauderdale not Miami and none had segments
-
Unlimited speciality dinners would max out every venue and have a lot of unhappy people

They need to bring you patters and other paperwork on the evening shift The patters can change a lot from the app as things are always changing including venue times
-
I have never seen flavored waters on any Princess ships. You may want to carry your own on
-
Last month I got both fountain sodas and cans at different bars on the Crown
-
I smoked for over 50 years and only notice it when near smokers. I try to avoid the smoking side when I can. I am very glad they have been changing out the Churchills area to arcades. Sometimes when that door opens a huge raft of smoke pours out. I am on the Ruby in a few weeks and see if it is better
-
The smoking area is why we still bring masks on cruises. If we want to use a slot in that area it makes the smoke reasonable unless someone is sitting right next to me
-
I have no idea where you read that but unless the cruise as multiple segments it will only be 2. Just another reason we stick to the plus package. We are cocktail drinkers and all of our preferences drinks are under $15. We sail mostly on 14-21 day cruises lots of sea days so most days we can have lunch in the MDR
-
Just like Uber rides, theatre tickets etc. Why should cruise lines be different ? I have a ticket to see John Cleese next week and the tickets I got months ago for $90 each are not going for 3 times that
-
No separate queue. There is a separate area of the MDR with a separate entrance
-
We tip a lot of people on a cruise but the concierge is not one of them. On Royal class ships they are part of the suite perks so no tip needed. We really only use them for specialty dinner reservations. On non Royal class ships we get help from the Sabatini’s breakfast manager

Ship self-serve laundry -- quarters or tokens?

Crown did not need tokens for washing or drying on my last 2 cruises -
Princess Cruise Casino Comps While Onboard Questions ?
memoak replied to WoolworthAdventures's topic in Princess Cruises
We both run 10,000 points each and only get specialty dinners when the casino screws something up with our free play. What we usually get is daily “presents” to the cabin -
Except that you can use your OBC to pay for excursions instead of using credit cards so how does that help Princess ? Everyone I know has at least a few hundred dollars of OBC
-
Nothing false at all prices and promos change constantly. The law of supply and demand

Allocation of Plus drinks to two people on one account
memoak replied to lorri111's topic in Princess Cruises
I don’t give anything away -
I can’t even call 20% off of an excursion really an offer we see these kinds of offers daily and just ignore them
-
We never assume a free meal from the casino. With the premier packages there are more people in the specialty venues. We usually go to 2 per cruise without issue but we never eat before 🕢
-
Different perceptions. For us the Vines menu is full meal for 2 and we almost never eat all 6 truffles
-
We usually ignore free inside cabin offers for a while and then at some points we start getting balcony offers again. Since we 7 cruises booked through 2025 we will wait for a while

Ship self-serve laundry -- quarters or tokens?
memoak replied to Mississippian's topic in Princess Cruises
It varies ship to ship we have been on the Discovery and Crown recently and machines were free but on the Crown you had to get tokens for detergent. We travel with detergent sheets so it was free for us. We sail in 2 weeks on the Ruby and will see what happens there -
In addition to taking shots of offers I also take screen shots of travel summaries as I have had issues in the past with casino free plays showing up on ship

Sun Princess question on shots & beverage package..
memoak replied to big al's topic in Princess Cruises
All drinks served up get a little larger pour. I drink manhattans with real light vermouth my wife drinks vodka up with no vermouth and it seems like a bigger pour then folks just getting drinks as shots or on the rocks -
Sun Princess question on shots & beverage package..
memoak replied to big al's topic in Princess Cruises
My bet is 2 of the 15 per day were charged for each double. That is how it works for me. If they didn’t the bar manager would having a conversation with that bar since the bottle count would not match up with drinks charged -
