    A table in the dancing area ? Ever see it in Crooners
  2. memoak
    I have not been buses but I have walked through containers to get to town
  3. memoak
    What year was that ? Every wheelhouse bar I have been on the last 2 years has a printed menu. I have never seen a QR code on any table
  4. memoak
    There is one pier in Skagway where you have. 5 minute tender to the small ship harbor. No big deal
  5. memoak
    I have not seen any since 2022 or 2021. There was a brief time during the pandemic when restaurants re opened but I haven’t seen any since then
  6. memoak
    I have still never seen a QR. ode on ships ever. We have cruised over 8 times on Princess in the last 2 years and have always been handed a menu. The menus are also posted on your TV and outside the venue if handling paper menus bothers you

    We don’t eat dinner before 7:30 even at home. On ship we generally don’t get back to the stateroom till after midnight or later. Plenty of time to digest food

    We don’t like to pay in sf dance for the specialty dinners since we like to see MDR menus in the morning before making decisions. We have never had an issue getting into the venues after 7:30 or so

    Welcome to retail advertising
  10. memoak
    I have gotten printed menus at all food venues since restart no need to look at a menu on your phone. You can see menus every morning on your TV as well

    Ow can you be under 18 if you have been on these boards for 19 years ? Are you using someone’s login ?
  12. memoak
    Experience Dining such as chefs table, 360 event Winemakers dinners and super Tuscan lunches etc are not included as specialty dining
  13. memoak
    Plus package and reserve dining does not have any free special dining They tend to range from $35-$40 per person plus 18% tip. You can pay in advance or book on board. No free access to Sanctuary With plus package you can order on room service by phone or use Ocean Now from the app no extra charge but some items may have a charge

    Having been on short cruises with college age spring breakers the only place that got crazy was in Skywalkers late night otherwise it felt like a normal cruise
  15. memoak
    If they were in Monterey California they would have had access to shoreside cell connections. I have done this many a time
  16. memoak
    Have you tried calling a CVP ? We let ours help in these situations
  17. memoak
    The packages are limited in amounts. If everyone booked premier they would not be able to accommodate the specialty dinners
  18. memoak
    When I am drinking a high end bottle of Pinot, eating a steak the last thing I need is a lot of noise or tons of perfume around me. In the case of Royal class ships add the fact that some food venues are open to the piazza with a deafening amount of noise the singing gets louder and louder to compete and one cannot hear oneself think. I come on a rise to relax not to be assaulted by noise
  19. memoak
    Table of 8 all sing loudly with 6 waiters chiming in. I guess we just stop our conversation several times a meal
  20. memoak
    Are you referring to traditional dining ? If so there are only 2 sittings and they do not change
  21. memoak
    On ships without a Take 5 we have always looked for the house band playing in various venues several times a cruise like Adagio or Wheelhouse or Piazza. The are very talented musicians really love playing jazz rather than backing up guest singers
  22. memoak
    We are also retired and could not go a single day of our lives without internet. We like to keep up on news and sports and of course Cruise Critic. Be aware that in the IC the regular drip coffee does have a charge
  23. memoak
    If you don’t have a package you are automatically charged for CA daily on your folio
  24. memoak
    Yes having worked in restaurants the waiters tip out bartenders and bus boys at a minimum. Chefs are generally not tipped out and they make substantialy more than the others
  25. memoak
    Reserve Dining does not need any reservations. There will be paperwork in your suite telling you which dining room. There will also be a large sign at one entrance saying RESERVE DINING. No need to make reservations for embarkation night. It is guaranteed and they hold tables for suites. Just call the dine line when you embark or go to the venue in embarkation
