Working 2 Cruise Posted October 21, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2011 We all have been talking about what has been taken away, and since Princess now I would really be interested in knowing what people would like to see Princess to add to their cruises... I, for one, would love to see a drinks card like Celebrity has. I am sure almost everyone, if not everyone, has interesting ideas. Let's hear them!

mr green Posted October 21, 2011 #3 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Priority tender embarkation for returning to the ship, for Elite members of the Captain's Circle. I think that this would lead to GREAT confusion at some docks, AND waste a great deal of time. It seems to me that some 'Elite' cruisers seem to want a little too much. I say this knowing that I am close to that 'Title' myself. I recall in my early days asking someone what an "Elite Cruiser' was. His reply? 'Just a person who has spent too much money with Princess'. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to have those on HAL, but for some reason they dropped the plan. I would like to see Princess serve a better grade of coffee, at no extra charge, along with juices at lunch and dinner. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 HappyCruiser Posted October 21, 2011 #6 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Priority tender embarkation for returning to the ship, for Elite members of the Captain's Circle. I've been saying that for years & pretty much everyone has jumped on me saying that it would cause hard feelings. Consider the fact that at embarkation when there are sometimes a hundred people standing there at times, both the Platinum & Elite can get priority entrance & that doesn't seem to bother anyone walking past everyone in the process. Surely a few dozen or so wouldn't slow down the boarding line for the tender all that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foodcruiser Posted October 21, 2011 #8 Share Posted October 21, 2011 How about donation boxes for clothing and other things that you don't want to take home with you, also, for items left on lounges longer than 1/2 hour. The boxes would be delivered to the next port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xavier Posted October 21, 2011 #9 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Being able to order a hot breakfast for room service & dinner in the room should you not feel like going out or better still just want to relax on the comfort of your balcony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 4cats4me Posted October 21, 2011 #10 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Maybe they could add clowns and balloons and cotton candy machines, oh yes, a Sno-Cone machine, too, to make it more appealing to small children:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boxes would be delivered to the next port. Now that is a totally GREAT idea... been on the 'Islands' many times and the most sought after item for a 'tip' were - blue geans and sneakers. (Plus.. we could get rid of a lot of items that were 'misplaced' on those loungers that nobody was using). :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compozer Posted October 21, 2011 #12 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Being able to order a hot breakfast for room service & dinner in the room should you not feel like going out or better still just want to relax on the comfort of your balcony Book a suite and you wil get it. If they added that perk for everyone, I'm afraid that would mean added galley & room service staff and cruise prices would go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foodcruiser Posted October 21, 2011 #14 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I would like to see a culinary program like HAL's...more demos, classes, and guest chefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted October 21, 2011 #15 Share Posted October 21, 2011 We've been able to order hot breakfast and things off the dinner menus in the DR's for room service.... Correct...on RCI ships you can have a hot breakfast from room service and order dinner off the MDR menu to your cabin..regardless of catagory of cabin your staying in...

Surely a few dozen or so wouldn't slow down the boarding line for the tender all that much. In my experience the so called Platinum and Elite lines board no faster than the 'Unwashed Lines', in fact I recall on NCL one time while being on a so called 'approved line' seeing many later comers getting in ahead of me. Lets face it, it takes a little bit of our time to board a cruise ship, and IMO, first come, first served is the best, fairest, and quickest method that there is. I should add that while wheel chairs SHOULD get priority, just for the record I am happy to report that my wife and I do not have to use such devices. john john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite should have it's privileges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasperdo Posted October 21, 2011 #20 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I would like to see interactive TV's where you can check your shipboard account, order room service, view dining room menus and book shore excursions. Our last cruise on RCI had this, and I thought it was very convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailingpeace Posted October 22, 2011 #25 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Day before new port, short briefing ( could be on TV) about local people and particularities of port. Little geography; history; politics; architecture;currency;local transportation; points of interest etc. Also, the basics language polite and practical expressions ( with correct pronunciation- sometimes reading in a travel dictionnary isn't really helpful). Expressions like : hello, please,thank you, where is the ship ;) ; where are the WC. These could also be available on a litle card that you could bring ashore. ( I made my own for the Baltic cruise, new language every day , and really appreciated having them). Don't remember if it is on the PAtter but : sunrise and sunset times.
