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.

I wish any posters unfamiliar with DMW and Princess dining (not you of course) would list the ship they are on because the situation where Sun dining is being released close to sail dates compared to the rest of the fleet where it is open from booking (Elite and Platinum), is a whole different issue. It isn't a software or data issue where the Sun (or Star) is concerned.

PCL cancelled meeting the MD ( now DRO) after the restart and introduction of DMW. I predict it may return with the new 3-way dining program which formally includes TD again. Even so, when you visited the MD, you would make a request and he would offer something. You were looking at a DR map of tables. Never heard of walking about. Anyway, what I have been doing is arranging our own TD setup with a fixed table and wait staff and then we just walk in and go to it and no lines, etc.

True but the package also costs 35% more in CAD. It's all relative.
