Suites are only guaranteed free specialty on embarkation night
-
Not unless you count the $19 steak upcharge from Crown Grill. There is always some kind of meat on the menu but not always steak

Thoughts on the NEW Dining Options starting Sept 14, 2024
memoak replied to mikjr's topic in Princess Cruises
Oh I will probably be talking to the F&B director I see him often in Wheelhouse. Just don’t need to be pushed and rushed. I don’t really need the extra entree and I am betting in Botticelli it won’t have wait after 8:00. If so it may just get funky Plus I will see the captain at MYG lunch tomorrow -

On the Ruby now showed up at 8:15 in Reserve dining was given a menu and pushed to order right away. Dining staff running all over the dining room frantically. Pushed out in 30 minutes will never eat there again will forgo reserve class and just eat in Botticelli -

If you are talking Trans Atlantic and Trans Pacific cruises then there will be at least one stretch of 5-8 days at sea with no ports -
We cruise 3-4 times a year on crises 10-20 days each and since premier folks only get 2 it is never an issue. We have not seen much of a change in availability since the new package has shown up. As I said you could have shot a cannon through Sabatini’s at 7:40 on embarkation night
-
Dining prior to 7 could be an issue as those are the ones that book up on US cruises. We never eat prior to then even at home
-
We don’t book premier. We do suites so none free and then pay for a couple more. No real change since premier still able to book when on board and first night Sabatini’s was totally empty maybe 6 tables full at 8:00
-
On any cruise you will usually have numerous holds on your card. This enables Princess to make sure you have enough credit to pay your bill at the end of the cruise
-
We have 60 cruises with Princess we have never had a situation where every table for every day and ever time was no available once on board. We prefer to eat later if you insist on eating at 6:00 then you may have an issue
-
I have never had an issue booking once on board by calling the dine line especially for dining after 7::30. We ate in Sabatini’s Sunday night at 7:40 and the restaurant was only maybe 2/3 full
-
Did you use a debit card ? That would be the only way it might come from a checking account or maybe PayPal Most use credit cards. Amare the see pending ? They may be holds and not actual charges
-
On the Ruby right now. The refurbished casino is very nice but the smoking side is really smoky more so than on some of the larger ships
-
On the Ruby right now lots of elites. They are saying 72 hour turnaround and our stewardess has told us that suites are prioritized but I would expect around 24-36 hours and I cannot complain about that
-
Yeah but as long we get free balconies it is hard to complain
-
We always sail in aft cabins so we know that our muster station is always at the aft lounge
-
Even on 3 week cruises in North America there are incredibly long lines waiting as early as 4:30
-
That is why we are glad that we like to eat after 7:30
-
They already have now that shops are sailing full. Our offers used to contain up to $1,000 free play per person now it is between $250 to $400 Also plus package is rarely included

4/13/24: Princess Rolls Out Fleetwide Dining Revolution
memoak replied to FLAlaska's topic in Princess Cruises
You cannot make reservations for the Reserved class dining area. There will be little or no wait whenever you show up Only full suites and reserve class mini can eat there -
I once walked out without it by accident snd it took guest services 15 minutes to get someone up there
-
On any long distance cruise we like to get the longer flight out of the way first
-
I have never had an issue with noise from a laundry room
-
I always keep up with the boards while on board and will you guys know if there are any unusual doings
