Correct. In theory - she could have the Steamers meal and you could not, and instead get something from the buffet - but whether they'd allow that or not is anyone's guess.

Entirely at their discretion.

Have you spoken to the head maitre'd? F&B manager? They should be informed about what happened in order to rectify it..

Reserve dining is a section of the MDR on all ships except Sun where it is an actual separate restaurant. It'll be listed in the daily event planner as to where the Reserve dining section will be . The Reserve section has different linens, flowers, menu covers, but same menu, with an additional item or two each night, ie lobster thermidor or lamb chops or a special pasta or such.. Ni reservations needed at all, walkup when ready and tables will be available - usually. Maybe a short 5 minute wait. If you want the same area/table or wait staff every night, just let the maitre'd know. Happy sails.

20/40 half/full dau, $30 full day if booked for entire cruise. For all ships except Sun. Sun: space available, $79 port day, $99 sea day. Half days currently not an option.

Currently, solely on Sun. Yes it's true

And kwst we forgot, the Plus and Premier Beverage Packages attract the 18% gratuity on the cost This, that $65 per night becomes $77 per night real fast. Or $85 per night for Premier Beverage Package becomes $100 real fast. Yes, the standalone packages can work for a small set of people.. that's why they're offered...

FYI - in case you were unclear, there's no refunds for unused specialty or casual dining. "What if I don’t use the specialty dining or casual dining meals included in my package? The specialty dining credits are available only for your current voyage, are non-refundable if not used and cannot be redeemed for cash" . https://www.princess.com/en-us/cruise-deals-promotions/plus-premier-cruise-packages Good luck demanding some type of refund..

How about overseas, ie Martinique. My documents currently show a 20:00 check-in time. That's ridiculous - 8pm? Sailaway is 23:00. So, we can't even check-in, far less board, til after the entire first day is done? That can't be right....

Your checking account?? How did they get access to that? Did you use a Debit Card attached to your checking account? Are these pending charges or have they cleared your account? Do you have a copy of your folio from aboard?

No you're not entitled to any compensation. If you don't go to an exercise class you're not compensated for that. If you don't eat multiple times at a casual venue, you're not compensated.. and so forth. Yes, I've not been able to use both specialty dinners due to full venues, it didn't even cross my mind to demand compensation for such. I used all sorts of the other things - and that's a risk you take, particularly buying aboard.. Maybe the venues will be full, maybe You're physically challenged and can't use the exercise classes - should you be compensated for that? SMH. No, there's no refund for unused portions.

Yeah, I absolutely wouldn't use Princess transfers from Anchorage airport to CC hotel. Uber or taxi is cheaper, no waiting for others, and door to door... Save the $100+ for excursions, dinner, souvenirs, etc.

Maybe take a gander at the active, multi page thread on the new dining changes, that's been active for several days - lots of info, speculation, thoughts, etc.. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/3003226-41324-princess-rolls-out-fleetwide-dining-revolution/

Both are noted as wheelchair accessible. I okay some photos of an aft accessible cabin in the Sun Princess Cabin photos thread.. These two definitely look even larger.

The very last ones do have a slightly larger balcony, and you can look out around the balcony barrier out aft. 10636 would be a standard size balcony, it's 638 that would be very slightly larger, with the angle.
