The casino will be closed and only 1 bar per deck will be open. Lunch probably ok in MDR

Every ship has a few. If you don’t like Salty Dog and I don’t like it either. We usually do some meals at Vines. But on most Grand Class ships that is it. More options on Royal class. Personally we take the plus package for drinks, WiFi and tips. The casual dining for us is just an extra we may or may not need. Mostly it is the drinks that saves us money

On most Grand class ships a direct route to Sabatini’s for breakfast. Aft elevators are always less crowded. Just pointing out that in my opinion I would rather not have to pay for a Sanctuary which is usually right in the bow and really far from everything

The Pacific Princess was sold in 2021. There was never a Crown Grille on the ship in my knowledge the steakhouse was called the Sterling Steakhouse. I sailed that ship many times and never saw a rib eye steak offered in the MDR even in what was then called club class

That is why why book 1-2 years in advance and always book aft unless it is a ship like the Coral which doesn’t have them

Then you need to book aft corner suites. On the Royal class ships you could play football out there. Even on Grand Class ships there is lots of room for loungers to file along with table and 4 chairs. We always book aft

I have a huge penthouse balcony with loungers on the aft of the ship. That is my own personal sanctuary

This thread should really be separated into 2 threads to keep all the gravy jokes and comparisons apart from the discussion of packages

But remember that tables are set aside on embarkation night for full suites since they are guaranteed a free specialty dinner and do not have to reserve in advance

Is there a reason you booked a reserve mini suite or a full suite that doesn’t involve the reserve dining. If you are in a reserve mini the dining is really the only thing extra you are paying for

You can dine together but it will be in regular dining not reserve. I would not give up dinner in reserve even for friends and family.

Then the people in the spa should br seen as representing Princess. Talk about high pressure tactics

You can do it but you will have to run it twice. Each of you needs to login and run the video one at a time. We have two phones and we can both watch it at the same time but not on one device

Most ships I sail do not have those venues

You can go to your cabin turn on the TV and watch the video. As long as both your medallions are present you will both get credit
