Yes they do ,look in the Patters .Last Hawaii cruise it was hard to chat as Zumba in the Piazza so loud so they moved us to Crown Grill area .

Our Hawaii cruise last December was very casual ,slacks and shirt totally OK.

Thermal suite on Crown I suspect is just heated beds and steam rooms ,no pool . The Royal Class have the Thermal suites with pool.

Sanctuary was not busy on our cruise as weather was chilly .

Sorry no clue on specialty restaurants , as long as I am not cooking or washing up I am pretty content.

How long does it take to get refund to Credit Card for cancelled excursion ?

We picked the 17 day from Seattle ,covered pool on Grand and kids still in school as its May.

We will stay with Princess, just like familiarity . I am Diabetic so the deserts are of no value at all .

However we watched a good Video on U Tube on the breakdown of the new policies.

Decided to upgrade to Plus less stress , and just have a good time .

I guess that is what they are hoping people will do.

Pub lunch was in the Buffet on our last sailing and not advertised .

I went to see what other ships go into Glacier Bay in May of 2025, and there was no mention of Princess.  There was NCL, HAL and a couple of others, but not Princess.  I then went to another website with the schedule, and low and behold, Princess wasn't mentioned either.  Anyone know what's going on?

Interesting , we want to do Grand out of Seattle May 2025 .

There is a 21 Day on Ruby from SFO ...a 17 day on Grand from Seattle which we will book when we can August 2nd  believe .I

I am from UK ...chilly in the morning and if you are lucky enough some warmish days , definite need for a waterproof coat . On the coast it will be cool.

I had same experience on Discovery , on sea days you had to sign up for a time slot of one hour.Staff did not able to enforce people to leave when their hour was up.

Royal at Christmas was slightly better but area was noisy .

Similar issue here , Princess is refunding us for the flights we had to book to get to the cruise.Our flight was canceled that we had booked through EZ Air , 2 hours before take off.

TA filed for us in March , we were given a claim number that was processed May 30th . Still waiting on the money.

We are still waiting for our EZ Air refund from Feb 24th ...our EZ air flight was cancelled at 4am about 2 hours before the flight . Whole flight was cancelled not just us ,managed to snag last 2 seats on SW so at least we got to ship.

I find paying extra to pick my Cabin annoying when that is available, getting as bad as some airlines.

Good luck ,filed for mine in March 14th ,still no check . Our EZ air flight was cancelled 4am the day of our sailing ...luckily got last 2 seats on a SW Flight .

I called again Thursday our claim was processed May 30th was told 3 more weeks for check.

I am still waiting on a refund from February …would also appreciate a good number to call.

This seals the deal for us, we will not be cruising on the new ships.  We will stay with the "boring" ships.  🙂

Us too ,love the boring ships.

We went down and bought Internet in the Internet Cafe after boarding using our OBC . The lady who helped us was in fact one of the Dancers . Got it half price with no issue.

My neighbor came back from Viking river cruise with same.

I am following along and dreaming I am on a cruise ,in the chaos of moving house .

We have 2 B2B sailings on Regal in October and then next year British Isles and repo to Galveston on Regal.

Just FYI Tony and Don the cruise Bloggers are also on your cruise I believe so I can follow along on U Tube also .

Have a great time .

Have a great trip ,I look forward to traveling with you from my armchair .

I am looking at a European cruise and prices seem to be jumping around .

Good Lord , glad you booked .

Following along ,we are on this cruise Oct  2024 on Regal Princess.

Have a wonderful time .

I also paid for Enclave on Discovery , always had a great experience on other ships.. Day 1 first Sea Day off I go with my book looking forward to my warm lounger and quiet .

The place was packed , 2 very upset ladies at the desk who had been waiting for a free lounger for an hour . The next day there was a sign up sheet you could book your hour in Enclave . People were staying over their time and I agree with the feeling several had not paid.

The only time I could get a lounger was in the evening , one man was watching U Tube Videos with no headphones . Guess his Internet worked better than mine !!!! 

All in all a disappointment .
