The OP seemed uninclined to purchase any package (it didn't seem to make sense in their situation), but was musing about having free pizza like it used to be. My only comment is that paying $8.50 for a pizza after thousands for a suite doesn't seem like a big deal (if not otherwise interested in a package).

Don't need a new ship to accomplish these two.

Sure, but what's $8.50 for a pizza when springing for a Suite.

I would expect the late departures to continue. Gives lots of time for same-day fliers to arrive. The evidence is in the itineraries. With Tortola (BVI) and St Thomas (USVI) as the first port stops, these are a mere hop, skip, and a short sail from SJU.

Have your children make the group dining reservation. When you get on board, let them know at Reserve, you will not be showing up. (PS - I wouldn't have bothered booking a Reserve Mini as there are lots of other good locations without paying for something not going to use).

"Back in the day", we did the two 7-nighters offered out of SJU on the CB. It was a great way to get an introduction to more islands. I like that both legs have a sea day at the end. We were able to fly N/S between YYZ and SJU at the time. I'm not sure if they had 10-nighters then which generally have more sea days. I hope this works out well for PCL. Nowadays, we'd just be going tor a tropical escape, so PE suits as a jump point. It is true that cost-per-day to cruise was much less out of SJU and helps offset the higher flight cost.

Bummer.

I would think 5oz the minimum for them. Not the best situation considering the price, but with so many on packages, there isn't much incentive to complain because guest just orders more glasses. Of course, I believe the best option for those of us cruising Standard is bottles of wine since there is better cost value and you drink how much you want. But I still think 6oz should be the standard pour.

So long? Smart Casual dress has been allowed on the ships for years now. I would admit that shorts (generally speaking) for dinner is more recent - like since the restart.

Does anyone know if PCL has actually reduced the size of WBTG in ounces? Should be (ideally) 4 glasses per bottle for approx 6oz glass. I imagine Princess was doing 5x 5oz pours (150ml). Doing 4oz pours is terrible - never seen any restaurant be that chintzy.

That is about the Riedel glasses. That said, I don't see the point of filling them with Plus plonk.

Except I can see them seating random guests where the regular TD guests did not show or are off to another dining option.

There has been a trend with Princess to utilize the Piazza for loud entertainment events since 2019 or so and it is very annoying IMO. They want it to be a "happening" place instead of a place of relative calm with low-key entertainment and a place you can actually have a conversation. LOL - I imagine all ships love to have guests funneled through shops and casino. Not just Princess.

Have you inquired at Princess? Did you book with a CVP or TA and have you had them inquire on your behalf? This is exceptional, so it could be different, but I have heard the "lead" name in a booking has to stay and others can be changed. Sure, they could cancel, but I would explain to Princess you can fill the cabin with alternate family members.

Your login profile has a CC number, an email, your name and your birthdate. All of these data elements are present in a reservation record. If any of them don't match, you are going to have an issue. Login and look at all your profile data. Is it all correct? Make any notes. Now, since you can find the reservation by entering Booking Number, Name, Birthdate, it appears that Name and BD are correct. Check that reservation data again. You might also consider resetting to a new password.
