only thing that never changes is death and taxes... Hope you have fun tho.

I wish princess would troll these boards and ban pax that blatantly abuse the rules of princess for their gain or that push others to not listen to princess suggested rules.

just another biased thread on what to wear ... hopefully this one too will be deleted as ab-so-lute-ly nothing new will come out of this ... only the same ole tired answers by the same posters with their same agendas as to what they want to see on THEIR cruise ... sorry

as apposed to your bias which is the correct bias?

I often wonder where Princess gets their Buffet "Hot Dish" recipes. I have never had anything good enough to want more of (or look forward to again), from the ships buffet. Yet everything I cook from any silly recipe off the internet usually tastes good  enough to make again. Wake up Princess!

 

But stand by, folks will come out of the woodwork to defend the mediocre Princess (grand class) buffet. I promise!

I love this mind set, the whole my opinion is better/means more than yours/ I am correct you cant be... Its very mature and so helpful. Opinions are like socks we all have them and they all smell a way we are comfortable with.

Straws & balloons for the winners. 

Balloons are killing the world. Save the turtles.

HA!  We do Both!!! Once I even bought an MBA basketball for a room steward who wanted one for his nephew and couldn’t get off the ship

The ball has a masters! SWEET!

I get what you are saying just being a jokester. Thats a nice gesture.

You have to weigh what the right price is vs what you think they will buckle to... 17 percent is them taking a hit but not much if they know thye can fill your current stateroom.

They arent blinking they realize suites are highly sought after in certain cruise ships. they spend millions on studies and researching the numbers from all there ships and itineraries. 

If you think thye dont they have already beat you in negotiations. Think of it as who currently holds the leverage. Now if you stare them down you might get them to blink.. but then again 17 percent might be enough for another traveler... I cant see you actually winning in this case.

Why not just have the beds made up as 2 singles?

That is what the queen is up of.

i havent fit on a single bed since i was 13.

its not a plan just ramblings in my mind. i over think life because I never really tried in my 20s i just floated sans at my career. and were both fluffy.

edited forgot part

i think about it on our upcoming Hawaii cruise, with a lounger not a mattress Which is more me wanting to now do crazy things on vacations. I mostly think about it cause honeymoon and my future wife and I for religious reasons haven't ever slept in the bed together. so I being noble will let her sleep alone to get sleep over me cause if im tired enough I can fall asleep on a rock covered in sharp pokey things when I started roofing I would nap on the roofs sooo dangerous crazy places aren't new. I just like being a rebel. Cant say I would want the work of trying to drag mattresses around seems like way to much work just get tons of pillows and use a blanket on a lounger frankly. seems smarter.

i booked under the sip n sail for jan 2020. honeymoon kinda determined our wedding date  lol.

You had a bad meal they happen even in land restaurants...

I think you underestimate what princess knows they have to abide but food service rules...

I think this post is you nitpicking one thing that went wrong.. if everything in your life is always perfect can you adopt me.

in confused... did you not eat the rest of the trip or that night.. seems silly cause as a seasoned home cook its hard even for me to fried chicken but either you over blow things or you want theyr head on a platter for a mistake. so what is the point what do you want?

You're welcome. These are much easier to read.

Did you get to meet the OP?

Alaska is definitely now on my cruise bucket list because of this thread. My parents were on the Grand to alaska in 2017.

They still talk about it. So after my honeymoon we will be saving up for Alaska.

Ever stop to wonder why they changed?

You may be a avid cruiser, but their research and marketing teams spend millions on what works and what doesnt, proof you are a avid princess cruiser for a reason.

Whilst they will value your opinion dont expect them to change it anytime soon. They have already weighed the pros and cons of this choice they dont at random just change things around.

Yeah well they may have finished the app but Google store is notorious for being a swamp to get apps through at times from what I hear from some independent developers.

If he is a day trader then he can use the internet from the ship to continue his trading 😉

true.. But I think they want to disconnect and not do work on a vacation at all. but i forget people work like that.. I have learned when I need to work and when I need to relax cause my body is smashed up from construction.

If you want to put in 8 hours maybe ask the boos unless you are the boss to just come in early then get off earlier.

I do this in the summer because in the sac valley the temps in the summer can get up to 107 like last week and if I start at 630 ill get off at 2 instead of 4 its the same hours vs coolerish temps. If the customer says no we cant start at 630 (which they rarely do) we just work more days at shorter hours. but most allow us to because they dont like people being that hot.

8 hours is 8 hours unless you are like a day trader... then I guess it wont work. but its an option.

Had it happen to me because I priced out a cruise months before I booked looking for a figure to budget for the honeymoon.

I ignored the emails and the calls they stopped after two calls and two emails.

I keep hearing about this dirty banana as a avid banana lover what exact is it?

My rule of thumb is you have to give it 2 to 3 tries for anything when you review/ form an opinion on things.

A. bad things can happen once and that forms snap judgements .

B. a second go will normalize the scales. unless its bad again then you know. 

C. the third then you've got a great sample to go off of... unneeded if youve had two but the third could be good like the second and it was a one off.

This might not work for cruising but Its a general rule for me. It hasnt really failed me much.

During our walk around, we proceeded outside to take some pictures and enjoy the warm sunshine.  I don’t think many people say or hear those words when referring to San Francisco

its been really hot over the whole of northern california this week its getting up in the 105's where I am about 2 hours from S.F. so the bay has been a little warmer than normal with this seemingly last gasp of heat tryign to remind us of summer. but overall a very very mild summer for most of northern california not like back east where they were in the upwards of 110 plus we use to have those summers but  Ithink all my rain dancing helped stop that cause construction in 120's is horrible.

Do you really think they care if you are happy or not?   They probably could care less but it is their job to act like they like you and your family.  

yes.

Its canada so be wary of the MOOSES and GOOSES. They are like a crime gang they distract and pick pocket you.
