@wallyj Hi Wally! I had a conversation with someone at Princess regarding this promotion last week and I was told that the double points would count the same as normally accrued credits/days.

All of our future bookings are currently much, much higher in price. Shell game!

This is what we always bring...

If you use the Fitness Center, it was moved to deck 6 and it feels like a dungeon with no windows. As a daily Fitness Center user, I find this very depressing. With that being said, we are booked on the Island for a 54-day voyage in March of 2026. We book for the itinerary, not the ship. We'll take any Princess ship, anytime!

Debbie says that the hair dryers onboard are useless. She always brings her own. Rafael

Fyi, the servers in the Reserve Collection Dining Room wear different uniforms and this indicates to other servers that they have priority in the kitchen to pick-up dishes. Hence, a faster service for their diners.

No, just show up for dinner whenever you like. Enjoy!

Totally agree! We will only re-book a cruise that has an EZair flight if there is a significant drop in fare. If not, it's not worth the hassle IMHO.

We usually go to dinner around 7:30 and have had no problems having the same table in the Reserve Collection Dining Room with no wait. Happy campers here with this dining option! 😊

If you have the Plus Package it is one device per person. And, you can always log-off one device and log-in on another device. I frequently switch between my phone and my tablet, very easy.
