    Don’t worry too much they never reserve every table. I called the dine line and was told the only time was after 8. Went to have a pre dinner cocktail and walked up to the host and asked he seated us at 7:30 and the restaurant was not full

    It will be quieter and most night life action after shows the the theatre will be music in a couple of venues and the casino. Not usually a big crowd in a disco type location unless you are on a short booze cruise

    Too many people, no aft suites and rope course etc. No thanks. We have booked our 2024 TA on the Regal

    If you get there early you may be waiting. Princess reps don’t always show up early. They will have clipboards and something showing that they rep Princess

    Every cruise can have different rules You always need to check the voyage in the online health tool
  6. memoak
    Always plug your voyage number into the online health tool to get accurate information for your cruise. They are individual and subject to change at any time. I would check often

    We have never used on line tests because our health provider offers free PCR tests and it is easy to get appointments
  8. memoak
    We usually eat around 7:30 or 8:00 not usually too bad but I like the flexibility instead of being tied down to a particular time
  9. memoak
    Yes this is part of the premier package or you can sign up for it at $20 per day at your cabin
  10. memoak
    No it is by the day
  11. memoak
    For accurate information for your particular cruise enter the voyage number into the on line health tool. Different cruises may have different rules

    We just took turns going to the buffet Had plenty of time to grab something and not have to settle for slices of pizza or a burger not to mention waiting in line
  13. memoak
    We always put a hold if we see a cabin we like and then email our CVP to finish on Monday. The only time I have gotten any message like you reference is when she was on holiday or on a cruise
  14. memoak
    Even if they are open no way to predict whether you will see lights on any particular day or week

    The location of the buffet on the Ruby was great for all of us watching World Cup matches on the MUTS screen. Would not have wanted to rush down to a different deck at halftime. The app did not have enough variety of food for us
  16. memoak
    Yes and this is really a put off for those of us who love aft views
  17. memoak
    We were on the Ruby over Thanksgiving and it was the happiest crew I have seen all of 2022. I attributed this partially to the captain who was wonderful and set a great tone for the trip

    It is a very long ride from downtown Rome to the port

    Where are the aft cabins with balconies ? We book mostly in aft suites Vista on Grand class and Penthouse on Royal

    Don’t panic about specialty dining. We never reserve space in advance and have always been able to talk to the manager for that restaurant and get times. They do not reserve every table at every time pre cruise They also keep tables available so they can comp them to casino guests etc.

    International Cafe

    You can buy just paper tickets and use a dauber. However the tablets have some many more tickets programmed they invariably in and takes the fun out it for casual players who don’t want to spend a fortune
  23. memoak
    Amen. I used to have a t shirt that said “What happens on a cruise didn’t happen”
  24. memoak
    And from what I see no aft suites at all. Big mistake. Many of us prefer to have aft balconies. Another reason I don’t see me sailing on it
  25. memoak
    The tablets have taken a lot of the fun out of bingo. Folks just sit around chatting waiting for the machine to tell them if the have won. Much more fun with cards. However much prefer the medallion or cruise card handling the slots. Hated having to wash hands and some diseases traveling with the coins
