Especially if you stick a big wallet in your back pocket, wear socks with sandals and look around at everything
-
The only casual venues that didn’t have a charge in the past was the pizzeria which is not on all ships. Either go with the flow or go home. Complaints wil do no good

If you are not going to use the suite breakfast or reserve dining you are mostly buying size of stateroom and laundry
-
There is an ATM in the casino. It does have a fee however
-
People are beating a dead horse. Either go with the flow or switch cruise lines complaining will not change anything
-
If you are in a full suite you are currently guaranteed Ann invitation unless it is a 2 day cruise. If it is a 7 day or longer you will get one. If not you should check with the suite concierge. If you are not in a full suite I wouldn’t hold my breath
-
It only exists on the Discovery and the Enchanted. Then built it into the design when they built those ships
-
Suite breakfasts still exist and are alive and well. Location depends on ship but it is always in a specialty restaurant. When they refer to Reserve Class dining they are referring to lunch and dinners
-
On many of the Hawaii cruises coming up they have added Kona or Hilo in place of Maui. No overnights. I am sailing on the 30th on the Crown no overnight

It just depends on what you like to do. How often you eat and drink in pots, what kind of excursions etc. Each person would have to figure this for themselves. In my opinion using a credit card is the safest way to go since if you are hacked you can get the charges reversed. If your pocket is picked then the money is gone
-
Yes it does
-
Then no tax. LOL
-
You have some place you can make yourself a cocktail or beer ?
-
The lounge thing is something ne to Princess. Not really that big a deal for us except to grab coffee or before going to breakfast and setting up specialty dinner times
-
Nothing there says that the Internet cafe is free. As long as they have had an Internet cafe you have needed to log in to your account to access internet sites. At one time Elite members could access X amount of minutes for free but that was several years ago
-
You really never get a drink for yourself. Whether you get the drink from the bartender while you sit at the bar or get it from a waiter it really makes no difference
-
The only possible tax would be when you order a drink in ports that charge sales tax and then it would be based on the retail price of the drink
-
Mine sits in my pocket all day long on or off ship. If you wear it in port you can make yourself a target as an obvious tourist
-
I can’t stand lanyards or things hanging around my neck You can just stick it in a pocket. The last thing I want to do in port is have stuff around my neck. That is a dead giveaway as a tourist and target
-
I would not call that clear plastic thing as a holder. You really don’t need a holder just stick the medallion in your pocket
-
I once boarded a cruise in Southampton and sat in port for 3 days due to weather and ended I missing several ports. My advice come to your embarkation city at least one day early and go with the flow. It’s a cruise
-
Prizes was never included with the plus package
-
That should not be an issue. For non drinkers there are alternative drinks they bring and they can tweak the meal a little to get around allergies. Believe me you will not leave hungry
-
Do short cruise have similar food options as Alaskan cruise?
memoak replied to dipan0000's topic in Princess Cruises
There is always 1 or 2 options but you can also ask for the chef to do something special but that would be pretty hard to arrange on such a short cruise -
Covid testing requirements to board at San Pedro
memoak replied to bobolz's topic in West Coast Departures
It may depend on ports you are visiting. There is more likely a requirement to proof of vaccination such as we had to do a Panama Canal cruise which went to Columbia
