For us the changes have been negligible. The biggest change is on ships that had free sit down pizza restaurants that were free. There is now a charge for them. We have always taken packages and you will notice that they are more expensive. We are fairly laid back cruisers so not much turns us off. There is some wear and tear on the older ships so the date of the last dry dock should be looked at
I am not sure when you last looked at deck plans but this morning I looked both the Emerald and the Ruby and both show arcade in that location next to the casino. The left hand side of the page still says cigars but if you scroll over to the actual deck plan you will see arcade in that location
Agree completely. Guarantee cabins are filled close to cruise date. I know some people are betting that the category the booked will be full and they will get a higher category but I think that is a foolhardy bet
And if we want a glass of wine over the $15 once in awhile we can pay a couple of extra dollars no big deal. At $40 per couple more per day I cannot see it paying off especially on the 14-20 day cruises we generally take
To is the WiFi is one of the most important things on a cruise. We usually take cruises with 5-6 days at sea at a time and really want to stay in touch with the outside world
Looking at my booked cruises I think it may be this new app which is also showing the higher prices for cruises I have in 4 months. I would think that Princess would be getting word out to travel agents if this is for real
Define longer. We usually book 16 day cruises with casino offers not a problem. If you are talking world cruise you will not get a free cabin We do gamble a minimum of 2-3 hours a day. We generally end up with 10,000 points or so each
You can ask but there may be limited time slots. They keep more tables open for suites on embarkation night. We have almost always been able to get reservations other nights but we like to eat later than most cruisers. If you want to eat at 5:00 or so it may be much harder
Really anyone who has cruised even for a few years should have seen that most of the time ships just coming on line have issues and early cruises should be avoided
