Even when we go to the theatre, we generally do not like to eat before, although we may have a cocktail and some finger food to go along with it.

Yes

We prefer later dining.

We used to love "Traditional Dining" but, especially on Princess, we like to book a Reserve Class which gives preferential seating. We often take in the Early Show in the main theatre, getting there fairly early so we can find good seats, and then eat dinner afterwards.

We were book for Israel via Holland American this coming October, but cancelled the cruise after H.A. cancelled port stops in Israel. We rebooked and hopefully will be able to do stop in Israel for October, 2025.

I would imagine that assigned times would actually cost less money. Put less strain and give more efficiency to the waiters and kitchen in that they would not have to be preparing multiple dishes at the same time.

Yes, eating at a specific time. But the staff was much more attentive and had an easily time with the means.

Just remember the "Old Days" when there was a midnight buffet every night, with one gala buffet. When one had several waiters at the table, and if you food was not excellent, the waiter would be quick to replace it with another dish. Of course you would be expect to eat your three meals in the main dining room at your assigned table.

We are looking forward to a week cruise on the Sun Princess next March. We traditionally book Club Class/Reserve Mini-Suite which we did for this cruise. We are three people, and we have noticed that that the vast majority of Reserve Class Mini-suites will only accommodate two people. Those that will be set up for 3 or 4 passengers are usually connecting cabins. We have heard some horrible things about cabins which connect in that they can be quite noisy. However, we have been in hotel rooms which are connecting with no problem. Any comments about these cabins on the Sun Princess?

We had Princess Plus…but to be honest, we had so much food that either between lunch and dinner, or late at night we just had tea and a chocolate chip cookie.

On the Regal Princess, we asked the server if we could just have 1 or two scoops of ice cream instead of the Speciality Desert. His answer….no problem.

We have book Reserve Class Mini-Suite during March, 2025 on Sun Princess. We are a party of three and found out that most Mini-Suites are limited to two people. The majority of Mini-Suites available for three people are connecting. We have heard that connecting cabins are usually noisier. Any comments about this?

I believe that the couch converts into a bed in the mini-suites designed for 3 or more.

Wow!!!! We are booked, Reserve Class, Sun Princess, March, 2025. Hope that they get these problems sorted out by them.

I believe that Princess has done away with “Coffee Syrup” and now uses Lavazza Brand Coffee both in the Buffet and in the main dining room. . In the “atrium” one has the choice of a variety of different types of coffee, also from Lavazza.
