We're pretty much done sailing with Royal class. We loved the older ships, new ships came out with numerous not so good things like smaller balconies and rooms and that awful noisy piazza. Last trip on Enchanted, Sabatini's was a horrible experience with all that intrusive noise while you are trying to enjoy a nice dinner. We're sticking to the older ships

I've noticed you can now edit the time of a dinner reservation which you couldn't do before so that is an actual "improvement"

Doing the Classic Italy Cruise tour in October. We have the following hotels listed in the travel summary, not sure at what point they add them in. You may want to check if yours lists the hotels. Our tour includes breakfast every day and one lunch and one dinner. Again this was all in the Travel Summary STARHOTEL SPLENDID VENICE HOTEL ALBANI FIRENZE HOTEL NH COLLECTION ROMA CENTRO

No extra work at all because you are being tracked via your medallion the entire cruise and the data is already there. They not only know if you went to the MDR twice, they know everywhere you went the entire cruise and for how long.

Unless you are [un] lucky enough to get a useless CVP who never returns your calls and leaves the organization after 3-4 months. I've had 3 in a row like that.

You can see what you get included for your cruise from here https://book.princess.com/cruisepersonalizer/printTravelSummary.page Scroll towards the bottom for the list

Princess wants to get rid of the non-revenue generating customers. Buy Princess Plus or Premier or otherwise be prepared to be nickle and dimed on your cruise.

Had the same issue at Good Spirits on the Royal recently. They could make maybe half a dozen of the drinks on the menu. Not sure why they are unable to adequately stock their liquor.

Someone posted one recently in this thread

Yeah, I had my CVP price out a 15 day Panama canal cruise using promo code RJW and it was the same as listed prices on the web, no savings.

So this sounds like a typical cruise line customer service experience, call 3 times, get 3 different agents and 4 different responses. I tried to do Due Diligence online. When you find the website with the details of your policy, to customize your agreement and the legal fine print you must pick a state. No provinces listed which is why I called to confirm what the website told me, no Canadian coverage. So not going to take a chance on what someone on the phone who may have worked for Carnival for 10 years or perhaps 10 days said. It's not in writing so I'm not taking the chance Sorry, not trying to cause a problem here. Just stating what I was told

Totally agree and even said that to the rep as to why it allowed me to select and purchase an insurance package that I'm not eligible for. I didn't know. I've been cruising for almost 30 years and Carnival will be cruise line number 8 as up until now I've never sailed with them. So I assumed they offered Canadian customers a valid product like Celebrity, HAL and Princess.

Sorry, the Carnival 800 number and whatever option for an existing booking. The Carnival rep said they'd issue the refund to the credit card I booked on

So I called the 1-800 number and they confirmed their insurance DOES NOT cover Canada. I was issued a refund to my credit card.
