Alfred and Seymour. They were very funny in the princess theater on embarkation night, but not at all in Vista lounge. Weird.

I may not be right about this, but I think even with plus and premier, you cannot book them in advance without your card being charged. Someone will know for sure though.

The comedians were great in the theater and awful in the Vista lounge. I wanted to walk out

The quality of the specialty dining has gone downhill. We quit going about 5 years ago as a result.

Only seen coke, diet coke, sprite and oddly sprite zero. I think they have an orange drink and root beer.

Last year we had a flight out of FLL changed on us by Delta from 10:05 to 9:30. Didn't concern me much. Then, our last port we were 3 hours leaving because of wind. We were late back to FLL, and it took forever to disembark. We were near front of the line, and left the ship at 8:40am. Through security and ar FLL at 8:45. Delta did have someone flagging people down on the 9:30 flight and they did get our bags checked quickly and we boarded the flight at 9:10. Whew. 10am doesn't bother me at all, and 9am wouldn't either if the ship is scheduled for 6am arrival. Things can happen sure, but for us it's worth the risk to get home earlier in the day than we would normally. Our flight this Saturday home is 10am.

If they are onboard a ship, tbey are representing Princess. I never said they were employees. Many TA's will package pricing so packages are included, but the cost is built in. Buyers need to beware of "free" items.

I think some view that the food is not that noticeably better in SD vs MDR for the upcharge. Food is subjective. We want to CG every cruise on formal nights for years, but noticed over time the quality changing and when the price increased we no longer thought it was a good value for what you get. I doubt budget is the reason people don't pay for the upcharge restaurants.

Yes Princess is trying to upsell. It's what tbey do with everything.

We are onboard too. We got to the pier from the airport at 11:15 (waited 45 minutes on checked bags) and boarding at that time was delayed a few minutes because of the gangway issue. But we got onboard about 11:45 dropped our bags and went and ate. Not terrible, bit slower than usual. What do the gift cards do for you? Comedy duo were good. Great pics!

10:15 is easy, especially if you disembark by 8am. We have a 10 am flight our next disembarkation.

They have items not found in the DR or buffet. The question is, "is it worth the upcharge."

They didn't say, but I see the top of the truck is damaged. Doesn't appear to have hurt the gangway

Waiting to board. A truck hit a gangway, And boarding is backed up

That's what they value it at with plus, but actually probably less since the drinks total includes other items. I never said plus wasn't a good deal for those who partake of all the available drink options, but it doesn't work for us because we don't drink what they offer. I was refuting the underlying comments from some that think everyone that isn't buying the package is somehow missing out.
