Why worry about HEPA filters etc when you still bury your head in a pillow that previous passengers have drooled into?

PES was alive and well on the Star in March of this year.

We always chose the Crowne Plaza in San Pedro. They have a stay and sail rate and a free s
huttle to the pier as well.

If you are a fan of VC Champagne it is very much worth it. VC is 35 dollars a glass and we easily do 8 glasses each a day starting with a champagne breakfast. 8 x 2 x 35 x 21 equals 11,760.00. And that's before any "regular top shelf cocktails.

Normal breakfast for 2 I tip 4 or 5 dollars. Just the same as on a shorside Dennys.

those "white spaces" can either be nice or they can be a very noisy cabin service area with constant carts and banging.

Loved the reception everyday on our recent Star voyage to Alaska. The stilton wheel, shrimp, guac and steak tartare nights were the best. Of course skywakers is a much nicer venue for this than "6".

I assume you don’t fly to your cruise. The savings on the cruise would be wiped out by air fares

Do you factor in the higher airfare cost for total trip cost, because booking within a week or two of sailing isn't generally going to get you the best airfare rates.
We are very fortunate that our next door neighbors are both pilots and own their own aircraft. They always cruise with us and we pay for part of the fuel and the hangar or tie down space at the destinations. Hopefully they will NEVER sell their home LOL.

3FF is next but I find waiting is better than any promo for cost savings. Did the Star Princess in April/May this year round trip San Pedro 12 night Alaska for 1710.00 ocean view for both people. (yes we got to choose the cabin). In fact of our 5 cruises in 2019 not a one of them was booked more than 8 days prior to sailaway. Haven't seen a promo that saves more dollars for us than late bookings.

I agree with son of a son... Of our last 8 cruises 6 or them have been booked between 5 and 7 days of sailing . Late booking beats all of the promos and you still get the perks. Super late bookings make it very resonanle to do multiple cruises a year and at a very reasonable cost.

You can order 2 glasses of wine per key card so just get multiple glasses at a time. Never a need for an empty glass.

We are platinum plus on ncl and elite on princess so have traveled a bit on each. My biggest complaint on ncl is the lack of cruise choices that are of a decent length. For us a 7 day is just a total and complete waste of time, 14 is tolerable but still too short. Ncl needs to put together itens that are 30 to 45 days at least in length that do not have a repeat port.

Those without surge protection are normally allowed.

Since the 111 day world cruise in January is also being marketed in various segments, I would hope that we get a bar set up for at least each of their segments. Always do sip n sail so no info on bringing wine aboard.

WE did all taxis, went to various spots including the turtles with admission and a great lunch with cocktails and still spent under 600 dollars total.
-
But my question was what other ships (if any) do NOT have a 24 hour IC.
-
So is there no where to get a latte at 3 or 4 am on the Island?? Or even just brewed coffee. Is this true only on the Island or there other Princess ships that have this downfall?

It is just another sea day

If some of the original CFC suggestions are instituted there will be 2 more groups that won't be sailing.
1 Those on any type of oxygen
2 Those with a body mass index BMI over 30.
