    I still hate all the waste I see in the buffet. Dishes filled with uneaten food being thrown away. There used to be a saying “Take all you want eat all you take”

    There has to be some limit to the amount of plans offered. What if I don’t want WiFi or alcohol but I want specialty dining, unlimited fitness classes and no desserts ? I could go on I do not know any cruise lines that offer a “cafeteria” style of packages

    I have 6 cruises booked for this year and took 4 last year since I book pretty far out I have only been charged the original price

    You can change out for 1 bottle of wine but it won’t be the highest quality

    We are in a full suite for 14 days in June on the Discovery. We are also Elite and the 2nd week of the b2b is a casino deal. Hopefully we will get to experience this meal. We have gotten so tired of Chefs dinners that we gave up in them 20 years ago

    And of course out of nowhere yesterday the 6th cruise just popped up. I guess best advice is to just wait and good things will happen

    Every cruise the first question I ask at a bar is what bourbons will be covered under plus. You never know
  8. memoak
    Go on a cruise with , gamble a bunch and you will start getting comp offers
  9. memoak
    There are not a whole lot of whiskeys not covered by plus. I have always been able to get Buffalo Trace, Woodford or Makers Mark.

    But I do not think they would be there at 6:30 am. Also think it is a huge risk to fly in the day of the cruise. Your friends are paying for a cruise and international air fare but don’t want to pop for 1 hotel night ?
  11. memoak
    Coffee drinks are covered under both the plus and premier packages. If you want to trade out your booze it could be dot wine, soft drinks or water. But wait they are all covered also. Do you not drink alcohol ? If not what is the purpose in getting plus or premier ?
  12. memoak
    Just wondering what “free” perk you traded for an alcohol package or are you talking about a coffee package
  13. memoak
    The packages were made for drinkers. We drink a minimum of 6-8 drinks a day plus water and coffees For those you do not drink it is more advantageous to just pay as you go. Remember when there were no packages and we paid by the drink. ? E use to average around $50 per person for drinks alone. That was back in the 1990’s

    You don’t get covid from AC. There are always cabins put aside for covid victims although they are no longer creating entire deck or at least one side of a deck for covid. You cannot get it from walking past their cabin

    Once again all cruises are different and all subject to change. I would suggest checking your voyage number in the Cruise Health tool on the Princess website
  16. memoak
    Oops. Auto correct got me should say Ruby not Royal
  17. memoak
    It depends where your cruise stops and could change at any time. For instance any cruises that stop in Colombia unvaccinated passengers must have a medically observed test before sailing. Some ports will not let unvaccinated get off the ship. You should put the voyage number in the CruiseHealth tool on the Princess website

    Porters do not work for Princess
  19. memoak
    Alfredo’s is not available on all ships. Wouldn’t want someone to get on the Royal or Emerald for example and start searching for it
  20. memoak
    On the Royal in Alaska last August. WiFi was good enough to browse and check email. Sometimes it took a little patience.
  21. memoak
    If you want seafood other than salmon wait one day and you will have different fishes and lots and lots of shellfish, corvina etc
  22. memoak
    Yeah but there will still be lines
  23. memoak
    10 drinks a day or so is really easy to do without getting hammered
  24. memoak
    Agreed these are not real prices and they are not casino prices. There are no real offers where balconies cost less than insides and premier costs less than olus
  25. memoak
    Actually if you drank your drinks and his you would probably lose the package since you can’t share
