Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I haven't sailed RCI in over 20 years so I know nothing about their perk program. We sail mostly in the Caribbean where all the ports have places where you can buy wine. We just carry it back with us & bring it to our room to enjoy. Isn't the plus package $60 right now. Adding 16% brings it to $69. Times 2 = $140 for a 10 day trip. I only need 11 more points and 4 drinks a day is plenty,
  2. It's only available on the Sun Princess.
  3. At home from the local grocery store that would be true but on a Princess ship, their prices do add up rather quickly.
  4. I'm looking in to RCI myself. I never realized I had as many points as I have. It certainly would fit our style much better than any package. And Princess can keep their free laundry.
  5. As I understand it; Deck 6 is traditional seating. Most likely around 5 PM and 7:30 PM. same table, same people unless you have a table for 2. Deck 7 is anytime seating. You can choose a time to be seated & if its's vacant when you arrive then you'll be seated immediately. Otherwise there may be a short wait. You also can just show up without reservations & be seated at the next available table but people with reservations will be seated first.
  6. If I have to buy them from Princess, I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of another sale.😒
  7. But look at it this way, my wife doesn't use the internet at all and I hardly use it for more than a few minutes a day. I get free Wi-Fi at all of our Caribbean stops - it's slow but it's free if I want it. I get all the national news I need on the cabin TV. If I drink 1 cup of their special coffees a day, that's it- mostly hot choc and that's free as well as reg. coffee. Juice's are free in the morning & we always bring some back to the cabin for mixers to go with our liquor. Plus we bring our own wine at embarkation plus renew supply at each port. My wife might have 1 drink per day, myself 2 or 3 if I force myself. We get drinks at Capt. party & MT lunch all the time. So $140 per day on a 10 day trip = $1,400 and no longer sounds like any bargain.
  8. And you don't have to purchase that package for both people in the same cabin.
  9. Look for some really short cruises if you can spare the time & you'll get there faster. We hate moving & will do anything to avoid it. Although it doesn't take to much time to move, we'd rather get off the ship early & go for a walk in Ft Lauderdale.
  10. I suppose a few people could look at it that way. When I pay for something I weight the price of what I'm receiving for the money & without any alcohol it's just doesn't make any sense at all. Princess must really love those types of cruisers. 😍
  11. It must have something to do with your app. It's working for Nov.
  12. Was there a big lineup to get tickets?
  13. They'd like you think you don't but it's priced to Princess's advantage that unless you do, they're making a killing on the package. Most of the cost is based on the alcohol and they know that the average cruiser won't come close to the max.
