Astro Flyer Posted January 7, 2012 #26 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Thanks so much for the input. Are there specific times for dining UBD or can you request your own time. When I did an UBD in Hawaii, it was available at 6:00 & 8:00 on the Golden but I have read that it may be at different times on other ships.

Reetz Posted March 25, 2012 #27 Share Posted March 25, 2012 We can hardly wait for that aft - up until now we've only had insides and oceanview rooms, but we figured on the B2B in Europe a balcony was a must, and then we read about how much people enjoy the corner aft cabins and we were lucky enough to get it for both segments!:) Could be habit forming.:p What is a corner aft cabin? We booked E729 which is the last cabin before the aft cabins, which has an extended balcony. Would the corner aft be the cabins on either side of the aft with the suites in the middle???

winona53 Posted March 14, 2013 #28 Share Posted March 14, 2013 We are cruising to Alaska on Island Princess mid-May. Thinking about booking UBD breakfast one morning for anniversary. We are in a BB (balcony) category cabin on Aloha deck. Can anyone let us know what is included, cost, & will it be too cold outside to be for this cruise?

On our pacific coast cruise up to Vancouver in Mid May 2009, we wanted to have a dinner on the balcony, however it was way too cold so we had it inside the cabin. Not quite the same experience tho....Good Luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grammyluvs Posted March 14, 2013 #32 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Has anyone done this on a Caribe balcony (the covered area)? Was there a problem with wind or rain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz54 Posted March 14, 2013 #33 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hmmm - no main meal? Or did you just miss it? The poster lists "entree with sides" Anyone ever switched the 2 drinks and champaigne for a bottle of wine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachykiehn Posted March 28, 2013 #34 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I have the same concerns regarding a Caribe balcony and the wind while at sea. I want to do the UBD early in the cruise so I can enjoy the flowers but we do not have a late departure until later in the cruise. Several posts make it sound doable but may mention the wind as a concern and the need to move inside. Anyone out there that has done the UBD leaving Princess Cays?

Astro Flyer Posted March 28, 2013 #35 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Has anyone done this on a Caribe balcony (the covered area)? Was there a problem with wind or rain? We had the UBD with a Caribe balcony twice...once in port while in Honolulu which was great & a late November sailaway from Santorini which we had in our cabin because it was too windy & cold. Anyone ever switched the 2 drinks and champaigne for a bottle of wine? On our most recent UBD we exchanged the included $32 half bottle of champagne for a full bottle of Kendall-Jackson Cabernet Sauvignon which also cost $32 & we still got our cocktails. :) Edited March 28, 2013 by Astro Flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vent1020 Posted April 22, 2013 #36 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Do you book this online or do it once on board(or either way)? We are doing a 4 day Mexico, with stops at Catalina and Ensanada. Anyone done these ports and which port would you suggest(for the view) doing the UBD at? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in a BB (balcony) category cabin on Aloha deck. Can anyone let us know what is included, cost, & will it be too cold outside to be for this cruise? Tons of food with a plethora of fish. I think its around $32? Not my kind of breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You book it onboard but you can pre-pay for it by calling Princess. We did that once before learning it's not necessary unless someone wants to spread out their costs. If pre-paid there's a card in the cabin & instructions to reserve a date & time. Edited April 23, 2013 by Astro Flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missymerv Posted April 23, 2013 #41 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I booked/prepaid my UBD by calling Princess before my cruise. Card was waiting in cabin when DH and I arrived. I called the Dineline to reserve the day and time we wanted. It was a perfect evening :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sminfiddle Posted April 23, 2013 #43 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Are there specific times for dining UBD or can you request your own time? As recently as March 2013 on the Crown, times offered were 6:00 and 8:00. We had an Aft cabin (so no wind), and had five to dine. So they set up two tables, brought double the champagne, and our fifth (my DD) ordered off room service and got a Mocktail with her UKP sticker. (They only do the UBD in multiples of 2) It was so nice. Only regrettable part was being a formal night, the Photographer was busy setting up portrait backdrops, and missed shooting us at Sunset. A Dining Manager will come to your cabin and tell you everything you need to know, as he or she takes down your choices. Oh, and this was the night I got my Escargot! Glad I remembered to ask!

Rare jwattle Posted July 22, 2015 #46 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I can't find the pictures, but I sent it to my parents as a gift, and they said that they enjoyed the hot foods, and saved the fruits and pastries for the next day; they loved it and thought it was DELICIOUS! (Plus the surprise factor was apparently a plus ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avcruz Posted July 22, 2015 #48 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yes, in Australia an entree is an appetizer and they call what we call an entree the main course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
