Designate them as traveling companions on the app. Then you can book dining together

Winemakers Dinner 3 courses I believe and not the humongous portions of chefs dinner

That should not be a problem it is easy to keep the cabin and change the plan

My guess is that they will keep all the Skagway excursions and use the fast ferry to move you to Skagway

They are still having them on most ships but without the gallery portion

You can only sign up on board

If you are talking about the Royal leaving on the 20th the Skagway port still shows the Royal in Skagway on the north bound voyage. The southbound from Whittier on the 27th is no longer on that port list and is in the Haines port

Why would you think club class food would be better than MDR it is all from the same kitchen. You do get some extra entree choices some of which are spectacular. What you are really paying for is the no wait great service and more choices but the dishes are cooked by the same people

The ship has to be emptied prior to new cruisers being allowed to board. So there will be a time when everyone must be off ship unless they are b2b passengers who would have gone through there own procedure

My comment had to do with how local venues on the west coast work. It had nothing to do with Princess

Then why did you post pictures of immense lines I have stood in those lines and never again. No one knows if the Royal will even port in Skagway. Even short tender trips can be hellacious. We once took over an hour to tender in Santa Barbara due to sailing lessons near the port and once saw people stuck on tenders in Cabo for hours due to winds. They could not tie up safely to the ship or safely get back to shore

At this point no one knows which ships are actually going to Skagway and which will be diverted but any Royal class ship will take forever to tender. We are going to take a pass and stay on the ship

That should be concerto I believe

If you pre book spa treatments you will have to pay at the time with credit card

Pre covid you could only add a drink plan on the first day I doubt things have changed

That changed a long time ago are you going to stay miffed forever ?

This has been known for months and is just a change in wordage people have been claiming they were scammed or misled for all that time.

Any speculation of how things will be in 7 months is just that a guess

I fail to see what being charged for extra drinks has to do with club class dining. It seems the poster is just throwing this statement on every thread they can

We.always follow local customs when it comes to tipping. But the fact is that in many of those countries the prices you pay are higher to account for the higher wages being paid. Believe me you pay one way or the other

How much you can drink is the same with either the Plus or Premier packages. 15 drinks a day. Any bartender can pour you bigger shots and choose whether or not to charge as 1 or 2 drinks. As long as we can get our Manhattans with Bulleit and our martinis with Grey Goose we will be happy. Plus package wines have never been all that great

If you can afford a cruise you can afford a few dollars for tips. As for carting your own bags I can remember multiple people struggling with large bags on the escalators

We always sit a TV the bar and I could look at the bartenders position and our medallions were showing and the fact that we had a package

I see nothing on Princess that allow non supervised testing

Then I would not go back to multiple restaurants as you may have extra things added to your soup. Most servers and bartenders get minimum wage and rely on tips so they can go on cruises with you
