    Many of those excursions cost hundreds of dollars. That is not chump change. I have been on excursions that were late by over an hour

    And can you imagine the ire of those who don’t drink, don’t use WiFi and refuse to pay gratuities. ? I can hear it now I am not going to subsidize those drunks and on line people. They also think tipping should be illegal.

    I rarely even book more than 1 or 2 on an entire cruise. Nd er would book 2 in one port. Way too many variables

    Yes where are all the posters who were saying yeah yeah the blogger got it right ? I am sailing in January and am betting there will still not be a new app

    Sorry I am healthy as can be. All testing looks good including liver , kidney etc. My doctor insists on full blood panels several times a year. Today is a normal day off ship. I will have 2 beers with lunch, 2 cocktails before dinner and a few glasses of wine with dinner

    Easier said than done. To change that area to a bar you would probably need a dry dock for plumbing change’s etc

    Did you see that another cruise line just upped some of their restaurants by 50%. ? Makes this increase seem like nothing

    How many hours do you spend hanging out in bars in conversation with others ? There have been other mentions on this board about people with standard fare getting gifted drinks from people with plans

    You mean the people who walk through the curtain to use the 1st class bathroom ?

    They will ask you on line if you want to use OBC

    The bartenders have enough problems dealing with people who complain their drinks are not strong enough, who insist they should not be cut off and complain about the prices The last thing they need is to tell a passenger to “cut it out” and immediately get a complaint

    Don’t they both revolve around the earth. ? LOL

    After conversing with people at a bar I have been asked if I had an extra drink on my package they could use. This has happened on multiple occasions

    The 360 dinner was amazing but a one time deal for us Used to do the Chefs table but no morrr it is just too much food. Glutton city. If you have a choice I would take 360

    I always get a double Sambucca to take back to the cabin when leaving the casino or Crooners. No problem at all

    I think the low tide issue may be only in the afternoon. I don’t know if they want to pay porters to just hang around waiting for embarking passengers since Princess seems to be telling people not to show up early

    The packages don’t work for everyone. Work out the math for yourself just don’t expect people with packages to gift you a mocktail, bottled water or sodas

    They also have to deal with luggage since check in won’t start till 8:30.

    I don’t even own a tie anymore. Have not worn a tux since pre pandemic

    $25 will not go very far in SF

    Ok do you are on BART not Amtrak. I had thought you were coming from further away
  22. memoak
    That timing would make me a little nervous in December for trains. We have already had delays here in Oregon due to weather
  23. memoak
    I have had that before had to let someone know what suite elite means

    I don’t find things like food any different from California but the taxes are much less. We downsized from a 3b townhouse to a 1d condo and our property taxes were cut by over 2/3 as housing is cheaper here. Also we have no sales tax here and when the state raises more money than expected they estimated then we all get kickbacks on our income tax. We now can afford to cruise 4 times a year

    You do realize you are being covered by cameras almost everywhere you go in the world today
