Whilst on the Sky recently they were chaging the lights to slightly less bright fittings

After the restart, the buffets on allnships was no self served, it worked quite well, yoh had one single crew member that's served you throughout the buffet service

Apparently you can ask for real butter if you want it

Princess has morphed into a cruise line that is nothing like when we started cruising. Every time you turn around there's an additional charge from the moment you book a cruise to the last day you depart the ship.
We're among the cruisers who are shopping around for better value since their loyalty benefits have eroded to practically nil lately.
Interesting, let us know who you come up with as a solution

Does anyone know where the Discovery is sailing from the 28th October to the 18th November 2025, she has a 2 week gap in her itineraries. Tried to see if it was a dry dock.

You may be able to walk from one ship to the next ship or you may need to get a taxi or Uber. You can search to see which terminals the two ships will be using here
Emerald is to far a walk from the Sky, a taxi will probably be no more than $10

No, they do not. Only 2 of each.
That's the logic of Princess management, pay more, alot more, get a lot less

Yes, it's on the home page, on the right. Your other option is to just open Google maps on your phone and the blue dot will show you your location

Then we differ in that opinion 🙂
I agree, leave passport safe on the ship. Have you ever visited Barcelona, Rome. It's pickpocket central

Someone in our party did have a towel charge once. It was removed but they still had to trek down to customer service and talk to someone. So it does; happen, watch your billing.
Wow, never ever heard of that on Princess

Honestly, although we love the US we have had to stop travelling there as the tipping culture seems to be so out of control and it would totally stress us out to the point where we would not be able to enjoy ourselves. We've heard stories of serving staff chasing people out of restaurants if they have left less than 25%. Probably just myth but when I read stories like yours I'm tempted to believe them!
Such a shame, ignore the tipping culture, the only person who needs a tip is wait staff 15% is perfectly adequate, don't believe the hype.

You don't check them out and you can get more than one. I usually get two. It's also easy to return them in various places near the pool deck. If you keep one in your room or take one on shore, be sure to return or you may be charged.
There is no tracking of pool towels, so never a charge

No one expects to be tipped in Europe, so don't worry about it, everyone is paid a reasonable wage, if have the local currency that's fine, but don't bother with the wrong currency in the pkace you are in, you will just look like an ignorant tourist

If you can handle your own luggage, ignore it and carry on.

I haven't cruised yet but I watched a bit of the Princess shows on YouTube. I must say I was HORRIBLY disappointed in what I saw from both Princess and Celebrity.
Someone commented that there really isn't enough time to "tell a story". I couldn't disagree more simply because DCL has production shows that TELL A STORY!!! I'm absolutely uninterested in a bunch of song and dance numbers loosely pigeonholed into a so-called show! I happen to work as a professional pianist for a very major ballet company. This doesn't mean I necessarily want or need to hear great symphonies or operas or ballets on a cruise. It DOES mean I want to be ENTERTAINED! I'm not entertained with some so-called singer or dancer screaming into a microphone while a dozen young idiots dance behind going from one monotonous, two chord pounding song to the next unrelated monotonous, two chord pounding tune!!
Who the hell makes these ridiculous decisions?? Give us a show!! Give us a story!!
Very very rude, the crew work really hard on these shows

OK...now you're backtracking. Your original "instructions" said to put your phone in plane mode.
That's what you do, I'm doing it now. It works.

Not if you're on airplane mode...can't happen. The call *should* be handled by wifi calling...
You can't have your phone on airplane mode and tether

Why the need for this? This has nothing to do with data.
Because if anyone calls you you will pay for a roaming call on the ships cell network

I am curious as well.
Set your phone to divert all calls to voice mail, Set phone to plane mode, switch WiFi on and turn mobile data off, connect to ships WiFi, switch
hotspot on. That's it
