Thanks for this

Ok. Halibut going on my list.

I liked it.

I've been elite for many years. The one thing I valued the most was the free Internet (but that's gone.) The free laundry was the next best thing, but I will not be surprised to see that disappear in the future. Enjoy your new status.

Maybe try this one.

There goes the ambiance.

I was right there with you on this subject when this happened to you, CineGraphic. I was as devoted a Princess cruiser as there was (31 cruises) but after the pause, Princess became a different line. Our friend the apologist here is welcome to his rose-colored glasses, but there are more than a few of us who decided to move on from Princess after what a certain executive did to a once classy operation.

This thread is turning into the kid thread. Gary had more to say on the subject than just kids. If you haven't watched the video, I recommend you do.

I had heard Planks and Steamers were gone. Oh well, rumors go around. This new scheme for casual dining is another annoying thing about Princess that sent me elsewhere (after 31 cruises). So does this mean even Alfredo's is a reservations/charge restaurant now?

Yep. I watched that. He's right about how they have destroyed the Music Walk.

That is true, and I was sad on that cruise. We have been doing HAL for the last couple of years, where they serve you at the buffet, and I must say, I really prefer it. It's not any slower, IMO. I'm glad Princess is going that route on the Sun.

One hopes, but I'm sure there will still be confusion about which dining room is which and who belongs where. After the dust settles on this new scheme, I might come back to see how I like it.

He talked about it in detail at the time. There's a thread here somewhere telling the whole sad story.

This is good news.

In Maine, I don't know, but in New Zealand, they have dogs that sniff and people go to jail for sneaking food in. Chili has dogs and soldiers with big guns. The best thing to do is check with the local port authority and if they say no, decide whether you want to risk it or not.
