    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
  2. memoak
    At the Hilton did you pay in full in advance ?
  3. memoak
    And there is no need to suites have a guarantee
  4. memoak
    You can use cash but if you want to cash out you need to put it on your casino account using the medallion. Princess does not print out tickets
  5. memoak
    Be advised those elevators will be very crowded. Sometimes best to go up to lido and then down
  6. memoak
    You just need to ask for the earliest time for regular disembarkation. E have usually gotten 8:00 and are bagels have been ready
  7. memoak
    We always put out some bags and carry others off. As suite guests we can pretty much leave when we want

    It looks like they are changing the cigar areas to arcades as they go into dry dock. The Crown still had one las month but I understand that the Emerald and Ruby have had the changes made.

    At least the have made it quicker with the medallion. It used to be easy to forget that you had a card in the machine
  10. memoak
    It it can’t hurt to try
  11. memoak
    Suites have glass doors and yes they have the line
  12. memoak
    For sure in suites
  13. memoak
    It will log out but will take a few minutes
  14. memoak
    If future cruises are not part of the crew and we know they are not why are they featured on the picture board of officers ? Are they trying to fool people ? And if there are concierge services on Grand class why is there no notice in full suites ?
  15. memoak
    Anyone who has a plus or premier package will not pay the &5 charge for calling room service regardless of cabin. I have not found a living breathing concierge on any Grand class ship except for the so called loyalty officers who actually work for future cruise 3rd party company and have a separate desk br the Wheelhouse

    No here in Portland we are used to great pizza and Princess pies are just so so
  17. memoak
    Please remember the bartenders are very busy and propsbly will not have ingredients you need for your special drinks.
  18. memoak
    No you can eat well and gain lots of weight if that is what you want without spending one dollar if that is your wish
  19. memoak
    If I recall correctly it is deck 6 midship but it has been awhile
  20. memoak
    Often Vines will be open for lunch on sea days
  21. memoak
    You do know that Crooners is not a food venue and I have never seen them make reservations for any restaurant. You probably mean Crown Grill. Again I have always been able to get in however we do prefer to dine after 7:30 or 8:00 even at home. It may also help that we usually take 14-21 day cruises. If all you take short cruises it may be harder
  22. memoak
    I have never seen reservations allowed for casual dining
  23. memoak
    The plus package does not include any specialty dining. Again we have never had issues booking on board. Note - on embarkation night full suites are guaranteed specially dining so there are less tables available. We were on the Crown in January and ate in Sabatini’s and Crown Grill and neither was more than 2/3 full
  24. memoak
    Some of the highest liquors on the ship are well over $100 per shot. Best to ask before you just point and say give me that. We drink Woodford bourbon and Grey Goose vodka which fits in the plus package because that is what we like. The occasional wine at Vines that is a few dollars over the limit is no big deal
  25. memoak
    Yes you can book onboard. We have never booked prior to a cruise and have always been accommodated
