Hi All, Based on the RCL app, it seems this show is now live. I am excited to see the 45 minute show that purely features the 16 piece orchestra. Has anyone seen this show? How is it? What kind of music is featured throughout? Are reservations needed? Thank you.

Hi All, We have some OBC that is already reflecting in our online account reservation. Is there any way at all to apply this to a pre-cruise specialty dining reservation? Most cruise lines allow OBC to be applied to pre-cruise purchases. Since most of the OBC is non-refundable, we want to use it to the specialty dinner reservations rather than risk it go to waste. We want to book specialty dining due to the OBC but we also are hesitant to waiting until onboard at the risk of getting sold out of Sabitinis and Crown Grill (Grand Princess Alaska). Thank you.

Book through a travel agent and paid for with amex. Most travel agents (but not all) are able to get this applied.

Hi all, For Princess Connoisseur tours in Alaska, the itinerary says 1 app or soup or salad, one enteee and one dessert. Are servers accommodating if there is more than one app we want to try at a lodge? Or do they charge extra if we want an app plus soup and or salad? Curious if we will have to pay extra if there are a few apps we want to try during our meals. Thank you.

Hi all, A couple questions regarding an upcoming Alaska cruise on the Grand and a paid for cruise with Amex Platinum. We have had our $200 amex platinum balcony credit applied to our account. 1. If we paid with Amex platinum and are getting a related OBC, where/when/how do we receive the Amex Platinum Princess coupon book? Is this something we can download? 2. Does anyone know what the Princess Amex coupons are? Are there any 2 for 1 dining coupons? If so, is there a way for us to apply this to a speciality dinner booking before we sail? Thank you.

Hi all, We are looking forward to our first ever trip to Alaska. There are 4 of us. Currently we have a transfer with Princess from the anchorage airport to hotel captain cook. This is during the day around noon. I just realized the transfer is $136 for the 4 of us. It is only a 10 minute ride based on google maps. It seems we could get an Uber xl for $20. Is Uber ok to use? It seems he’d to justify an extra $100 for a 10 minute ride when Ubers and Lyfts should be available in peak season in June. Thank you.

Interesting to see how celebrity headliners differ. We have never sailed with celebrity and have seen a couple of the Royal Caribbean juggler headliners over 5 times.

Hi all, We are excited to experience the 16 piece orchestra on the icon. Has anyone seen the below show showcasing them? If so, what kind of music did they play and how was it? SHOWBAND! Live. Music. Now.: An event featuring 16 musicians

Hi all, In over 20 cruises, Temperature Band who we saw on the wonder of the seas was the most above and beyond group. Does anyone know if they are still on the wonder and what ship they’ll be on next? Are there any other Royal Caribbean bands that stand out?

Hi all, We are trying to figure out what ship to recommend for first time cruisers. We think they would love an oasis class ship. From an entertainment perspective, does one ship stand out show wise? I feel like allure and momma Mia would be great but the ship is due for a refurbished? Would Harmony with hairspray be the next best? How are the ice and diving shows? What about symphony? Thanks so much.

Hi all, We absolutely loved Tap Factory. We hated the effectors as it was a show for kids that did not span the entire audience like most Royal Caribbean shows do. With tap factory now gone and the effectors geared for kids, is voices really the only theater show for adults (plus ice skating which was phenomenal on the wonder and diving)? Is Royal Caribbean going to add another show with the elimination of tap factory?

Thanks. Is this far from the airport? Could it make sense for us to do this and pay $50 for our bags, saving $400 by not booking hop on hop off with Princess? Just wondering if it would make sense to come back to the hotel after hop on hop off before going to the airport? Thank you.

Hi all, We are excited for our first ever trip to Alaska in June. It goes from Alaska to Vancouver. When we disembark in Vancouver, we will have a full day as our flight isn’t until 10pm. Does anyone have any recommendations for a full day in Vancouver? We are open to anything, whether a tour or spending some time in some of the best areas. So far we have been looking into the hop on and hop off tour. If we book with Princess it’ll be $150pp and they’ll take our luggage to the airport vs $50pp if we book direct without the ability to have bags taken to and stored at the airport. Does anyone have any recommendations on spending a day in Vancouver for first timers? Has anyone done the hop on hop off tour? If so how was it? It looks like the bus run from 9-5 which would allow us to spend some time at a few of the stops after the tour itself. If we don’t book hop on hop off with the cruise line, does anyone know what we could do with our bags? It seems like a lot to pay an extra $100pp for the same tour except for the ability to have bags taken to and stored at the airport. Thanks so much.
