They make many many announcements about cashing out. No resin to be surprised

Why does everyone freak out about specialty dining. We have been on 60 Princess cruises and have never booked in advance. There are always tables that can be had while on board. It also helps if you eat after 7:00

In all Canadian ports there is no casino and only one bar per deck is alto be open while in port

We are the opposite. We order the Grand class ships. Royal class too many people and the piazza is the noisiest thing on the 7 seas

Why do you think you should get free drinks you already have a mini bar for free. I have cruised Princess for over 30 years and this has never been the case

Except that everything is waged on hot. If you have delicate material use the self serve for that. Was and dry $6 if you bring your own detergent

That is why we stay at the Pan Pacific no need to even leave the building

Suites have large showers with glass doors on Princess

I have never ever had any issue booking specialty dinners on board even on the same day or walkup. Just off the Ruby and Crown Grille was way empty every night. Wait staff was bored and you could have shot a cannon through it. We called in the morning and ate at 7:30 that same night. We also walked up to Sabatini’s around 7:30 and were seated maybe 1/3 empty

It won’t be complete or even accurate prior to cruising. Thing can even change day to day depending on circumstances. I would trust the patter you get each night

You can also call yourself to the dine line to get on the list. Once the slots are filled they are filled

Well one difference is that Princess allows smoking one one side of casino slot machines. There are times if it is crowded I can’t stay long in that side

What kind of shape is she in ? Haven’t sailed the grand since 2012 but will be sailing her in July

Funny when we came on this morning I saw the Noordam behind us and what looked like 2 ships on the other side. Did you just sail a few minutes ago ?

Glad I use Amtrak. Just off the Ruby today. Looks like 4 ships in port today

It is really bad only good if you are mixing not to be drunk as a shot

One mini bar would not last bus one day. Always need the plus package

If the cruise can be booked as either 2 7 day cruises or 1 14 day cruise you will get one each leg regardless of how you booked. Room service does not know how you booked

They didn’t hand out declarations on your plane ? We always train up from Seattle to Vancouver and just have to show passport at the Amtrak station and fill out a declaration on board the change nothin lg in advance. We have not used ArriveCAN in over 2 years

Cabin position is very subjective. Some like mid ship but we prefer aft the furthest aft we can get

I don’t understand why your TA put the minors in separate cabins. At those ages and proximity of staterooms that should not be a problem. You should be able to move people around. If you are taking a plus package you have more options that way. Is your agent a TA or a Princess CVP ? I would think a good CVP should be able to straighten this out in advance. You can always get your medallions reset for different staterooms but if you have packages you may also be able to save some money on rearranging people

You mean all the people I saw at the buffet last week using their hands to pick up breads and sandwiches?

After 60 Princess cruises and almost all in aft cabins I am so used to noise and movement that it doesn’t even bother me

If everyone took one glass for their stateroom and didn’t return them Vines would run out of glasses. Yes that is stealing. In every cabin I have been in regular wine glasses were in the cabin

But suite laundry gets priority over elite. Just off the Ruby sent out laundry 3 times in the morning back by next day evening
