  1. You can ask however since the reserve class is a very small area compared to the MDR there is a good chance that no one else would opt for it at the time you dine. There are larger tables but they seem to be filled with groups who already know each other
  2. It seems to always show the $10 on the app but I have never been charged on my credit card
  3. It seems to be based on time played and average bet. So really pretty subjective
  4. That is why most of our cruises is on Grand class ships. Our next few are on Ruby, Grand, Coral, Grand and then late 2025 Majestic only because we love the itinerary
  5. Formal nights for me just mean changing out jeans for slacks and short sleeve shirts for long sleeve. Post retirement all my ties have been retired also
  6. We never cruise 7 days or less always10-21 days. Never take premier just plus since we like our cocktails and hate photos (after 60 cruises who wants it). I can pay for a couple of specialty dinners on nights where I don’t like the MDR menu. We rarely use more than 4 casual dinners and at Vines they let us share. The premier package would not really help us I should also say that the only thing we like about the Royal class ships are the huge penthouse aft suites and hate the noise volume anywhere near the atrium
  7. We actually had to text at the Sushi bar to communicate while a kids carnival took up the entire atrium
  8. The Discovery has Take 5 one of my favorite ship bars but the atrium area is super loud.
  9. It makes a difference when someone keeps hitting 17 ‘s against a 5 and takes my 10 when I am doubling on an 11
  10. How can Captain Arrigo be on both the Diamond and the Ruby. Quantum Physics ?
  11. Just telling you of my experiences. What is bleary ?
  12. I believe the medallion has access to information like security photo etc than the card. We just stick the medallion in our pockets lanyards are way to touristy to us
  13. You are only charged the difference plus 18% of the difference. Casual dining is things like Pizza sit down restaurants, Gastropub, Vines, Sushi etc
  14. It is possible that they have oversold the cruise. I would not want to have a guarantee on this one
  15. Likewise. Mine has helped out with so many problems caused by other departments. She has also become a friend. When we talk we spend half our time on personal matters
  16. On many cruises we find I have to run my personal extension cord behind the pillows in suites it depends which side the desk is
  17. The 360 dinner is only available on 2 ships I do not see which ship the OP is booked on. Whenever a 14 day cruise can be booked as 2 7 day cruises all benefits like mini bars etc. have always been per segment regardless of how it was booked
  18. One more reason to use a CVP who could help you out. We once had a cruise where they changed ships and because the new ship did not have any aft vista suites they suck us forward. Our CVP got us moved to an aft penthouse with no extra charge
  19. Good call definitely not worth the risk. Things change over time we used to go back and forth between US, Canada and Mexico without quest those days are over
  20. I will guarantee you that they do not fill up all tables prior to cruise. In January we were on the Crown and walked into the Crown Grill and sat down. The restaurant was maybe 2/3 full. We were also not charged the 18% tip just the $39 pp
  21. And if you can use the birth certificate don’t ever get hit diving or whatever because you cannot fly back without a passport. I am shocked that people would travel internationally without one
  22. Most people who work at the Internet cafe know a whole lot less about the app and IOS than I do
  23. That has always the way it has been while on ship. Only my current cruise shows on the app. Princess.com shows them all. In my experience
  24. I can’t even see the ship schedule on a cruise leaving in mid April
  25. He was on the Crown in October and had gone home by the time we were back in January
