    The ship was in dry dock in Portland last year and there have been no current reports of engine issues

    I can barely finish an app pasta and dessert and it is so good
  3. memoak
    There are always cabins reserved by travel agents that will be given back to Princess if the can’t sell them more will probably pop up later

    I have booked casino comp cruises over 6 months out and been able to choose my own suite

    Using the weights and machines in the gym are free. Classes usually cost

    The portions are very good size. I rarely order an entree at Sabatini’s as I am usually full after apps and pasta. Need to save room for the dessert

    This is a casino offer. You can get casino rates without gambling all that much but the free play is usually dependent on how much you gamble
  8. memoak
    If you don’t book a Princess hotel you will need to travel to a location they do travers from usually airports but sometimes hotels or transit hubs

    Club class or Reserve ding applies to full suites and club class mini suites

    We always sit at the bar so we can interact with other passengers just like we do in restaurants on shore. I have never noticed any bartenders being distracted. Also personally like to let them them know how I like my drink prepared as in old fashion with a little bit of vermouth and stirred not shaken. We do not like sitting in the lounge chairs much prefer a bar stool

    No need for a tie in fact I do not even own one anymore. I do wear a sports coat but is really not necessary For formal nights slacks and nice shirt is basically what I wear. For non formal I wear nice jeans and a shirt. On some cruises you may be turned away if you wear shorts

    All cabins were guaranteed ? That is an issue for all of us who like particular cabin or like us want to upgrade to suites. I am betting that if you add plus it will increase the price

    What the heck is the captains table ? The captain does not eat in the MDR

    Depends on ship when we were on the Royal they had no tapas or sushi but recently on the Ruby they had wonderful ones

    Different folks different takes. The meat I have gotten in the Crown Grill over the last year were really not as good pre pandemic. Love the lamb skewers and pasta carbonara in Sabatini’s have never even needed an entree
  16. memoak
    The free drinks only pertain to the casino. Remember the casino will not be open in ports and may have limited hours. If you like to drink at bars, clubs and at meals you will still want the plus package

    But it sounds like the OP wants to use their OBC so they would need to wait to book while on board If they book now they will need to provide a credit card

    It was my expectation that this thread was related to dress on Princess ships. Not which line has the smartest cruisers or affluent cruisers or aloof cruisers.
  19. memoak
    My point as well. We always add Princess Plus if it is not already part of the deal also we upgrade to a full suite. I don’t think they will be able to handle all these things online
  20. memoak
    Elite passengers do get 10% discount on all on board shop purchases except for those items already shown as on sale
  21. memoak
    So where was your mini bar ?
  22. memoak
    Since it hasn’t happened who knows. But it would be pretty impossible for bartenders to figure out which liquors go to who
  23. memoak
    We have had no problem using texting on board
  24. memoak
    DMW I was quoting the person asking the question
  25. memoak
    All MDR’s are My Time Dining
