Could be nearly full. Might just be a game. Hard to tell.

Rest assured you are not the only one bidding for an upgrade on your cruise. I suspect a large number bid the minimum and cross their fingers. I have also read here that folks who got the same message as you and didn’t up their bid still got an upgrade. That may not be the norm though. Are you that kind of gambler? I guess it depends on how badly you want it. I’d bump 5 or 10 bucks and hope that lifted me above the masses.

We’ve ended up skipping a few shows rather than deal with the crowds even arriving 30 minutes early. It was clear the remaining seats were singles or nonexistent. I would pay to have a seat waiting for me up until 15 minutes before the show starts. It doesn’t have to be in the best location. I just want to arrive at the theater knowing I have 2 seats together.

I forgot that. Maybe because I don’t take baths. The bathroom is still miniature.

They want more money from you. You can resist or bid higher. You still may or may not get the upgrade.

Well, there is a couch. It sleeps one if opened. There is a second television set. And extra space. With a curtain for privacy. I think that’s about it. The difference between categories is based on location.

I think I will be boarding in San Pedro with a bottle of wine in my carryon.

Plus works fine for us, but I wish there was an ala carte way to obtain reserved seating in the theater.

Will you be writing a review here?

It is discrimination, but there’s nothing illegal about it.

To be clear, that’s $300 US. $400 CAD.

I just booked 2 nights post cruise in April. Per my TA, nothing was available through Princess. I booked the Hyatt downtown on my own at around $300 a night. You can pay less in other areas but I have not found Vancouver hotels to be priced cheaply as a rule.

25.36 oz in a 750 ml bottle. So about 5 glasses in a bottle. Therefore 15 drinks = 3 bottles.

I was thinking of an extension cord.

I will get very excited the first Amazon drone I spot landing on the ship I am sailing. But, how will it get to my cabin?

It varies by liquor. I believe they are all 350 or 375 ml and the prices ranged from $20-30 US.

I’ve never seen it measured. I would estimate 5-6 ounces.

We chose a balcony for last year’s Alaska cruise. There is nothing like standing just outside the cabin sliding door wearing that thick terry robe and sipping on a glass of wine while viewing the majesty of our 49th state. We value comfort and privacy. Your values may differ.

There’s an old expression “banned in Boston”. It had to do with latter day Puritan attitudes but must also apply to boarding with bottles.

Mine just has 6 USB ports. I don’t actually bring anything that plugs into a socket.

Ok for now. But watch for news of a change. RCI thinks they’re all risky.

Has anyone gotten credit for watching the video in a friends cabin? I made my grandkids watch with their parents rather than in my cabin and risk having to do it over. But it would make sense that they got credit for watching wherever their medallions were.

I don’t know that you can trust the app prior to boarding. It does show a muster station, but mine changed after I boarded. It may just be a placeholder.

Was there no third or fourth choice? I have been under the pool deck on another Princess ship and it was quiet (it was Alaska) but Enchanted in June would have been another story. But I’d rather deal with noise during the day than at night.
