On most Grand class ships a direct route to Sabatini’s for breakfast. Aft elevators are always less crowded. Just pointing out that in my opinion I would rather not have to pay for a Sanctuary which is usually right in the bow and really far from everything
The Pacific Princess was sold in 2021. There was never a Crown Grille on the ship in my knowledge the steakhouse was called the Sterling Steakhouse. I sailed that ship many times and never saw a rib eye steak offered in the MDR even in what was then called club class
Then you need to book aft corner suites. On the Royal class ships you could play football out there. Even on Grand Class ships there is lots of room for loungers to file along with table and 4 chairs. We always book aft
But remember that tables are set aside on embarkation night for full suites since they are guaranteed a free specialty dinner and do not have to reserve in advance

The future cruise department are not Princess employees. This department is a third party vendor under contract to sell cruises. They will tell you anything to sell you a cruise out of fear of losing their contract. My CVP had to work like the devil to fix errors they made on a cruise I was booking after they claimed they could get me plus packages for free. Guess what the couldn’t and then blamed it on a Princess department
The HAL ship is moored right where the slide was. That location has to do a short tender to the small boat marina. It has been this way since the slide
As I said when this was first reported it is a glitch in the system. I would have questioned getting something for nothing. Remember if it looks too good to be true it probably is
