That is exactly what it is. It is on the fine print of the menus, and is pretty much the same across all ships. I presume that it is a US FDA requirement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare yes!yes!yes! Posted December 28, 2022 Author #210 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Had breakfast in the buffet. The hazelnut stollen was to die for. Have been enjoying the buffet breakfast more than the dining room. Dining room is so slow. You have to wait for the tables in your area to eat their first course before they will bring yours. It has been cold and a huge let down this cruise. I like having my food on china and a teapot and being waited on. The dishes in the buffet are piping hot and you can get eggs and omelette cooked fresh. Toast cooked fresh. I enjoy the smoked salmon every day plus a few other dishes.

Rare yes!yes!yes! Posted December 28, 2022 Author #211 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Just asked at guest services if I can purchase the internet for the 6 night cruise in the middle (I have plus package for both 13 night cruises) they said I can't prepurchase unless I do it on line and prepurchasing no longer gives you a discount. Prices have gone up from the 14th of December (this cruise was confirmed after that) so now with 50 percent discount for elite it will be $10 a day.it was $5 a day in august. I'm not too bothered anyway as I will get work to pay for it. Out of interest I asked how much is the drinks package now and he said $86 a day.

Rare yes!yes!yes! Posted December 28, 2022 Author #212 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Cigarettes are $71 a carton of 200. Limited choice. But a bargain for smokers. (Not me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare yes!yes!yes! Posted December 28, 2022 Author #213 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Just got a print out of my account so far from the machine on deck 6. I had a $117 worth of drinks and a $38 purchase from the shop on there that I didn't make. Guest services removed them. I have the drinks package. I asked what the shop purchase was in case i had forgotten buying something and she said cigarettes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier in the year I was watching the price that people were paying. In August people were reporting that it was $6.50 per day (50% discount from $13). I bought it at that price (for the world cruise) because I suspected the price might go up. PS - Is the $10 per day the price if someone pays for the whole cruise (pre-booked) or is it the casual daily rate?

Rare yes!yes!yes! Posted December 28, 2022 Author #217 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Another strange thing. My mum and I called into crown grill early yesterday evening to see if there are any available bookings for this cruise. We were told that we can only book on the dining line. Two people , plus a white coat at the desk. No customers waiting, surely they could check for us???? No wonder there are never any people in there. 2 or 3 tables at most. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Womble99 Posted December 29, 2022 #218 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Speaking of prices going up, there has been plenty of discussion about the specialty restaurants going up. (supposedly another 14 Dec price rise) Could you let us know what they are currently at? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare yes!yes!yes! Posted December 29, 2022 Author #219 Share Posted December 29, 2022 For bingo people. They did the big jackpot at the end of the 3 days at sea at the beginning of the cruise, so I'm guessing there will be another one at the end. Mum says that the really irritating woman off the Coral Princess, fortuna, is doing the bingo. Good news for Coral Princess cruisers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm pretty sure the crown grill is still $40 Australian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure they could if they were customer focussed. I was allotted early sitting, then it changed to early sitting where you had to book in each night. Despite explaining that I was allocated early sitting, they continued with the charade where they would book me in and tell me to wait. I went to reception and asked to be changed back to booked early sitting. He changed but asked me why reception at restaurant couldn't do it. Exactly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the restaurant front of house staff very unhelpful too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
