Glad to hear it 👍

Hope you have a great cruise . Key West is a great port of call.

I don't thinks these advertised "sales " are really sales at all. They just manipulate the numbers.

We did the 1 pm option s a few years ago , clear views all the way.

Hi Mary, Duck duck go supposedly prevents trackers from following your online activity much better than the other browsers. Many times I have been looking at cruises on my computer and my wife will be in a different room on a social media platform and yell out to me about the cruise she just got an ad for , more times than not, it is the very cruise I was looking at etc…. With Duck Duck go , that does not seem to happen.

To each their own. I personally enjoy a lounge area in front of the ship with a panoramic view. I also enjoy an outdoor promenade ( under cover ) to walk and enjoy the fresh air , the sea and still be somewhat protected from sun or rain . Everyone has likes and dislikes, just a matter of finding availability of those things that are important to us as individuals.

I went from duck duck go ( no success) to internet explorer and there the website worked. Thanks again.

Had a less than stellar experience on the hal website today. ( and that is being kind ) Anyone else have issues ?

Your welcome. I hope you have a great cruise 🚢

We had the Club Orange option last March on the Rotterdam embarking from Port Everglades. Embarkation was quick and organized , as the other people have mentioned look for the Priority signs. The overall experience was very nice , especially the Club Orange dining room. I found the dedicated line at customer service counter very useful , the tote bag very spiffy. The consensus of those who have commented is that you get the best value when you have the Club Orange option on a pinnacle class ship as they are the only ships with the Club Orange dining room.

They should be able to accommodate you if you get back later, if it were myself , I would let the Maitre'd know in advance that you will be arriving later on a particular evening.

Thanks everyone for all your responses. Looks like I need to book a cruise on the Beyond soon 🔜😎

Hi Everyone, Can anyone who has sailed as a NON SUITE passenger on the Beyond give me their opinion with regard to the overall enjoyment of their cruise ? I get a feeling that the Edge class ships have been designed primarily for Suite Guests and I am hoping someone will convince me otherwise. Thanks in advance for your responses.

I find the lanyard quite convenient most of the time. They are not expensive and readily available on amazon ect....

Last 3 days Princess website, I have unable to book a cruise

I will try . Thanks

I like to book my own cruises online , it should be a clear cut process. Lately ( last several years ) there seems to be a constant issue with cruise line websites not functioning properly. That said , can anyone who is more tech savy than myself tell me what the issue or issues are that are causing these websites not to function as they should. Thanks in advance for your replies.

I tried a different browser, same issue. Thanks for your replies.

Thanks Mary. I will try.

Hi Everyone, I have been trying to book a cruise on the Princess website for 2 days , it lets me get fairly well into the booking and then I get the sprocket icon spinning around and around. Anyone that can advise, I would appreciate to read your suggestions. Thanks in advance.

I guess I had bad information. HAL website says “ priority seating “ on all others classes of ships. Sorry.

Thanks Florence. That is good to know. I will do some more research on this, the last thing I want to do is mislead anyone.

I think they have had it for quite sometime.

I believe the Niew Amsterdam is a signature class ship , that said they have a section in the MDR reserved for Club Orange subscribers.

An upgraded cabin in the same cabin class , an exclusive dining room on the Pinnacle class ships , a dedicated customers service line at the customer service desk , priority embarkation and disembarkation and maybe even a fancier bathrobe ! There is also a Club Orange tote bag included in the package. These are most of the perks as I recall from Our March of 2023 cruise on the Rotterdam. We chose to try Club Orange on this cruise. The cost was $25. Per day per person for the Club Orange option.
