Not exactly on topic, but do you know if they are serving Beyond Burgers at the deck grill or do they still have their version of a "vegeburger" (aka fried paste)?

I will be finding all this out for myself next month, but from prior observation, it looks like there is a long line to get into the regular MDR and a much shorter one for CC. The entrances are on opposite sides of the ship, but they both go into the same room. The CC area is blocked off from the rest of the dining room.

I think the word you are looking for is "realistic." 🙂

I think the ship has more than one person to deal with emergencies.

The space belongs to Princess, as does the lounger.

Or the same dog. 😉

Maybe a younger crowd prefers beer over wine? Sounds like the new Princess attitude.

There's always an excuse that isn't "It's our fault."

His dog? 🤣

Spell checker? There is an old Latin maxim we should all remember: De gustibus non est disputandum. Look it up.

It looks like the trend is to replace Vines with the Gastropub. Wine drinkers yield to beer drinkers.

Maybe it's not a threat. They may not all be here on CC, but there are people who will not cruise with Princess again because of this treatment and other shortcomings. I know some cheerleaders vigorously defend anything Princess does, but it is not the same cruise line it was in 2019. I don't blame the OP one bit for feeling Princess did not care about him or his wife. I was sick on a Princess ship some years before covid, and the medical staff, along with the crew, treated me with concern and care during my isolation. That was the old Princess. Disclaimer for those who seem to think they need to know: Yes, I have two Princes cruises booked. Like several others, I am burning off the FCC. I let Princess keep my money (on a not-cheap cruise) during the pause, and I accepted the "good will" FCC they offered. Now we are down to the good will money and for my future Princess cruises I am going to spend their money.

Good luck with your complaint, and I hope you get things resolved.

I don't know. Maybe Fred is a real looker. 🙂 Before the age of medallion, your name was outside your door on a piece of paper you could remove. Can't do that with the video display. It could easily be a safety issue for a lady traveler.

Back in the olden days (2019) my grandson lost his medallion and they gave him an old-fashioned cruise card to replace it. He was 13 at the time.

The hot dog is still complimentary, thank goodness. Must have one on the balcony every cruise.

I don't think so. The plane is not "on board."

Different ideas of what a pool lounger is. It's not just a place to take a nap (a lie-down) but it's also a chair to sit on to eat lunch or read or whatever. If it were just a bed where someone took a nap, I guess it would make sense to wake up and move on, sort of like getting out of bed, but getting up from the "chair" to go get a hot dog is not the same thing.

Apparently that works on some ships but not others. Princess does not seem to have a consistent (or coherent) policy across the fleet.

I have been following this thread and have neglected to say I love your dog. 🙂

Just the usual stereotyping of Carnival passengers. I suspect the author of this quote had never set foot on a Carnival ship.

Over on the Carnival board the thread like this one is Carnival "may" crack down on chair hogs. They aren't convinced it will happen either. 🙂

Is the turkey dinner better on Thanksgiving than the regular one on any other cruise?

Like a unicorn! 🙂 I second the choice of Crown Grill. I recommend the lamb chops.

Dining has changed with the Medallion and Dine My Way.
