In my experience if you are willing to eat at around 7:30 or 8:00. those restaurants are very rarely full I have always been able to get reservations after boarding

Not for me. I do have 6 cruises booked as casino comps over the next 14 months but did not think there was a limit and many showed the $0 balcony rate but now just regular fares. I have 2 7 day cruises next month so maybe I will check after that

People can always book on non Royal class ships if they want to sail to the east

There is 1 additional entree each night. That is the only menu differences other than no wait to be seated and really good service

All of a sudden no cruises are showing casino rates on Princess website even ones I already have booked. Anyone else finding this

How about other car services that are not Uber or Lyft such as black lane

Do you go to breakfast in Sabatini’s without your friends ? If you are elite you already have one mini bar and free laundry. Except for a second mini bar what perks you are looking at

The first night specially dining for full suites is good on cruises over 5 days if I am not mistaken. There is no need to book in advance the hold out tables for suite guests. In March on the Emerald I even got a call from the dine line to book while I was on board. You can go to the venue you want prior to sailing to reserve or call the dine line or if you are on a Royal class ship just call the suite concierge

Some involve days and minutes others round to just days

That is why packages work for some and not others I never go for the premier package because the drinks I like are covered under the plus plan and I can still get a discount on bottles of wine and pay the difference if I want a glass that is a few dollars above $15

My gawd I don’t go one day in land without 2 drinks before dinner and wine with dinner. Prior to packages we used to pay for 8-10 drinks a day so the plans are wonderful for us

You forget where you were sitting ? That is a new one If you were sitting with others why not text them for directions. As far as the medallion all I ever use it for is to open my door, but drinks at the bar (and usually only have to give my cabin number and name) and check my folio so I have not had many issues over my last 5 cruises

There is an alcohol limit for wine. Nuff said

Many banks now have credit cards for children with limits you can set and monitor The cruise lines have to have something to charge gratuities for each person and unless they have a beverage plan they need something to pay for sodas etc

Our favorite areas of any ship are aft

Then I would just book a standard mini or deluxe balcony rather than pay for the perks

In my experience it is usually on deck 6 mid ship

I just don’t understand giving up morris that you are paying for. There really isn’t s whole lot of reasons to pay for club class and not use it. Just my opinion

We have small clear boxes that we can put in enough for the cruise time plus 6 days. Once got stick in covid isolation in Canada and we’re glad we had extra

We cruise anywhere from 6-8 weeks a year and still have never booked a speciality restaurant in advance and have always gotten in. Now it might help that our normal dining times are 7:30 to 8:00

In a full suite you are guaranteed a specialty dinner on embarkation night no need to make a reservation. Last month they actually called me once I embarked to ask where and when we wanted to eat. E have never ever had a problem getting into a specialty restaurant at any time They are almost never full up, they don’t book every table on line

Why would suites and reserve mini need reservations when they have walk up access to club class dining area

It is generally based on what the ports require. Currently if you are traveling to US ports and Canada there are no ports requiring vaccination or testing. Last month on a Panama cruise Colombia required either proof of vaccination or negative test to board

It is for a deposit not a payment

You can set limits at guest services. I’m
