Club Class is in the Estrella Dining room on deck 6.

I too just got off the Sky Princess. We had 3400 people onboard. To me it felt a little crowded. You had to get to the theater really early to get a seat. Princess Live was overflowing. I was wishing it was a little less crowded.

They had it on the Sky Princess last week.

Yes, but be aware that the Hyatt Place shuttle is not free. They mentioned something about a $5 fee for airport pickup and the shuttle to the port is $9 pp.

I have contacted Princess via Chat and I was told that airfare was covered under our Princess Platinum insurance! I hope I don't have to use it.

If yiou have Princess Platinum insurance does that cover airfare booked through EZAir?

This is only a guess. But I doubt there would be many kids on a cruise that long. I hope you can find out more.

Another vote for Meclizine (Bonine). I like it because you don't get drowsy and you only need to take it once a day. You can take up to two 25mg tablets per day so if you think you need it you can do that. I usually only take one. If I were to take two I would probably do one in the morning and one at night. In the US is is a OTC drug. I get mine also on Amazon and it is fairly cheap. Search for Meclizine.

Eight years for us. We took a land vacation to Hawaii in 2020 just before the COVID shutdown.

My Cielo reservations showed up in the app TODAY! 28 days until we sail. They're back!

Why not duct tape?

No, Princess does not have this. You can choose a specific time each night or just walk up to the dining room when you are ready. They will not notify you.

This is interesting. When I first realized that my reservations for the Cielo dining room were gone I immediately booked for the Estrella. Then upon reading this thread where people were saying their reservations for the Cielo still existed online (but not in the app) I was sorry that I was so hasty in rebooking. Today I went to the online link provided in post #35 and lo and behold I had reservations for both dining rooms!!! And the same time!! So I canceled the Estrella and I am hoping the the original reservations for the Cielo are still valid. Time will tell. Worst case we just show up.

We did a disembarkation tour to the Everglades. It was a nice tour and your bags went under the bus with you. I would recommend it.

From the posts on this thread it seems that this if affecting more than one cruise! Feb 11, Feb 25 (my cruise) and even one in June. That doesn't sound to me like its because of low capacity but who knows? I have always preferred the aft dining room so I am disappointed. Has anyone of previous cruises experienced a closed dining room and knows why it was closed?

Yes, I believe you do go to an area to wait until you are called.

Thats a good idea. Go down to go up.

Yes EZCheck is alive and well in Ft. Lauderdale. Your flight needs to be on one of the listed airlines and the flight must depart after 11:30 am. Cost is $25 each. We used this service that last time we cruised (pre-Covid) and it was wonderful. Our bags were waiting in Detroit for us.

I thought of that. But our cabin is near the midship elevators.

I'm trying to figure out if we can take the stairs or have to wait on elevators. We are on deck 10 so three flights if we embark on deck 7. Now you know.

From the picture it looks like deck 7 to me. So... two votes deck 7 and two votes deck 5. Anyone else?

We will be sailing on the Sky Princess out of Ft. Lauderdale. When you embark the ship in Ft. Lauderdale what deck do you find yourself on?

Thanks everyone! I understand now. Yes I plan on WiFi calling but I wanted a last ditch option if all else fails.

Thanks but that link provides numbers for those calling the ship originating outside the US and Canada. Anyone else?

I am looking for the phone number for the Sky Princess in case the kids would need to get us in an emergency and can't reach us via cell phone. I have tried to find this information on the website but haven't found it yet. I would appreciate it if you can tell me where to look. Yes, I know its very expensive.
