You are still out of pocket $6,000. Princess is not giving you back any money, just letting you use your $6,000 to pay for the cruise in addition to the hotel.
It boggles my mind...how many men I see walking out of the restroom without washing their hands!! Or the people bypassing wash stations and hand sanitizer upon entering OV!!
I don't know if making dining reservations starts a certain number of days out from your cruise. It seems to vary. I am booked on the Equinox in Jan 25 and Xcel in Nov 25, both are currently not offering dining yet. Yet I was able to make my Constellation Oct 24 dining reservations six months ago.
I've enjoyed following along! We will be onboard in April in a Reserve Mini-Suite and have been excited with the additional menu items you've noted! As well as your reviews/pics from The Catch!
We've only been on Princess twice and have not looked into The Sanctuary. Is my understanding correct that all space needs to be reserved in advance? Is it a challenge getting reservations if you don't get there early on day 1?
