Elaborate please? What is there to argue with at embarkation?

As much as I complain about benefit cuts and such on Princess, it's still a better overall value for the money than other cruise lines.

We were on this ship a couple of weeks ago and had a great time. Will be back on again in 2 weeks. Enjoy your cruise.

Look at post 62. Most of those numbers they claim the value of make no sense.

We were on the enchanted 2 weeks ago and no coke zero. On the Sky in December, no coke zero, but they had sprite zero. We now just bring our own onboard. No idea why they don't have it available.

That just lets you know it's all completely made up.

A bit I guess, but Princess doesn't value them as they do the face value of the venue. It's sort of like the plus package, it's clear that Princess values each alcoholic drink at less than $2. I suspect they only value the specialty dining at a few dollars as well. Were you to get compensated, I suspect it might be $5-10 total. I always find the math interesting when you really think about how they price things.

Poor choice of words. Because of the thread, I assumed all the conversation was about the DR. This is what I meant. I wasn't sure if this new update from them meant that you could dress casual and eat in the DR. I would consider that if they could also speed up the dining process as well. We quit going because it was taking 2+ hours to get through the entire service.

If they allowed casual dining and got thr service to an hour or under, we would consider going back to the DR.

For the anytime, can you now wear shorts? Might consider it if one of the dining rooms is casual dress.

I don't buy the package, so no issue for me, but how would someone get caught? If I go buy a drink and walk away and hand it to someone, who is really watching that? Not condoning it, but not sure how you could get caught. You think the bartenders care if you order a drink and then hand it to someone when you turn around? I doubt they pay attention or even care.

This is pretty normal how cruise lines do "sales". And other retail.

This is still the case. The AI packages are huge profit items for the cruise lines. I'm good with it, as you mention. It keeps the cost of the basic cruise fare more affordable.

Spend a lot of money

Your health is your responsibility. All you have to do is tell your waiter what your issues are, and they will take care of it pr find someone who will.

Between 11 and 1

Princess only cares about your money, not your issues. Get your TA to sort it out

You have to trample people in front of you to get a seat in the sanctuary. Make sure your shoes don't stick to human skin and you should be fine. When they release you to board, be sure to have both hands free to push people out of the way. At least that has been my experience when I'm in front of a sanctuary wanting person.

Yes, it's the same.

You don't. That's the beauty of the medallion. Someone gets billed, it just might not be the person who ordered the drink. Check your folio daily.

Not exactly your issue, but I have logged in from different devices, and some display all my information, and sometimes it can't load some pages. Clearing cache generally resolves it, so maybe try that and/or use a different browser than your default in your laptop?

This is correct. They do this somewhat frequently so they can charge more.

Are we the same person? Although I never tried OceanNow, and stopped going to specialty restaurants when I noticed the quality was degrading.

No, they charge your credit card separately

They have lots of vegan options. If you read anything on this board it's that they provide options every dietary request
