Dine My Way & all new Dining questions since cruising restart!!
memoak replied to Host CJSKIDS's topic in Princess Cruises
Back when we had TD and got a bad table we would go to the manager and request a different restaurant and table. We had some bad experiences glad TD is over -
Princess Cruisers Compare Crystal, Silversea, and Viking Ocean Cruises
memoak replied to RLK33853's topic in Princess Cruises
Too many people think newer is better. Not in my book !! My favorite Princess ships are the Grand class -
No. Double fare but one package
-
We dress the same whether it is MDR, buffet or specialty. Long pants and a button down shirt for me never felt out of place at 360
-
Crooners always at the bar not the lounge. Each to his own
-
Agree with sticking to Grand class and the Coral. The sizes are right. We only book Royal class if it is an itinerary we can’t do on the others. The way the venues are all stacked up around the piazza makes all of them way too noisy
-
I have 2 issues with the PES. One is that it is too early we don’t eat dinner before 7:30 even at home. Two is that the serve yourself style leads to people picking up things with their hands like they do in the buffet. Always try to avoid those things
-
If you have the plus package you can always get a 25% discount on bottles
-
We love all aft cabins. Before we could afford balconies or higher we used to go with the aft insides not for the price but for the motion. I sleep much better with some movement which reminds me I am on a ship
-
How many cabins are still available ? Often prices change due to supply and demand. We generally book around 2 years out and usually notice that on popular itineraries prices tend to rise
-
The medallion does not open your door it just unlocks it. The only Elite perk that is duplicated on the plus package is 1/2 of Wi-Fi
-
You made a dinner out of snacks ?
-
Sometimes they do not check who should be in PES lounge snacks so it can be jammed. One cruise they actually put in in the patter
-
We had the manager at our table at Most Traveled last cruise and he was simply a salesman who knew nothing about cruising and in fact it was the first time he had ever been on a ship. My CVP cruis s yearly and had for years.
-
Lesson learned. Stay as far as possible from future cruise consultants
-
I believe they are referring to marketers cold calling for huge packages that cost thousands of dollars. Not the prizes you might get from opening your door
-
Just stay away
-
Usually it is a rule not to use balcony lights at night so tot to interfere with the bridge

Using TA Onboad Credit for Speciality Dining and Tours
memoak replied to Old Coastie's topic in Princess Cruises
There is a reason it is called “On Board Credit “. You are not yet on board. The only ONC I am able to use pre cruise is for excursions -
Island Princess - 6/8/24-6/19/24 11 Days Canada/NE Review
memoak replied to sns1's topic in Princess Cruises
We would be tipping higher than that but it is up to the individual -
It will be 2 drinks against your 15 allowed
-
This is otherwise known as Princess Promotions run by the 3rd party vendor that also runs on board future cruises. No better than high pressure sales people. We stay as far away as possible
-
Some bottles are glass don’t want breakage and just easier in my opinion
-
Discuss Implementation of Smoking Policy
memoak replied to CC Help Michell's topic in Princess Cruises
I do believe SilverSea is quite a bit pricier than Princess -
Same here
