We will be in aqua in a couple of weeks. Did u ask your steward for a bottle of wine upon boarding? I read that one needs to request it in aqua class. Also, how many exercise classes were included? Was dining in the aqua restaurant easy? We are unable to make reservations. Are they even needed? Thanks in advance.

We had been on the Sky for one month prior to the pandemic. The food was lovely. We were excited to cruise her again several months ago. Oh my...the food was horrendous🤯. We almost dreaded every dinner.

Over the past year, we have cruised on both Princess and Celebrity. Food quality and selection have declined on both lines since the pandemic. Doubt we will ever return to Princess...it was that bad. Giving Celebrity another try in June. We have to remind ourselves that we don't cruise just for the food.

What is included in room service breakfast?

The first time on the Equinox was wonderful. A few months later...on the Infinity...it was a disaster. There were too many diners for the staff to handle.

For us the biggest reason for Blu is to avoid the main dining room at all costs. We were recently on the equinox and the infinity. Their MDRs are food halls...not dining rooms. Noisy and crowded and not for us anymore. So we need to pay up for some order and serenity.

As a benefit of booking aqua class, guests are offered an expanded room service breakfast menu...is there now a charge?? Hard to believe...but anything is possible.

Sorry for the typo..no...elite is it. Btw, we were told (who knows if it is true) that the chef on our November sailing would be leaving in a few weeks. So...there's hope that things will be better.

We had been on the Sky for one month 3 years ago...the inaugural sailing. We sailed her again in mid November. All in all..it was not the "homecoming" we expected. The food... especially in the main dining room was pretty bad. There was not one meal that was memorable. Gone were the gorgeous desserts. Meats were tough...fish dried out. As elite plus we won't be sailing princess again for a long time. We relaxed, enjoyed being on the ocean...but we can do that on other lines. Oh...and then we got Covid. Not good.

Nothing like stressing over a cruise...

Thank you. So..when they ask for passports at the port...we just show the other documents? Or do we have to make prior arrangement?

I signed up for status alerts. 🤞 Wonder if they don't come what we can do.

Thanks. Says in process. Nothing more.

We have a Caribbean cruise from Florida coming up mid November. We sent our passports in for renewal. After mailing them we realized we were cutting it close and may not get them back in time. Anyone know if we can sail with other docs.

The biggest problem we had on the Infinity was the cabin. There were continuous motor sounds coming from the ceiling. The air con never went off..and there was, in addition, another motor sound too. It could not be fixed. We toughed it out for the 7 nights. We have cruised over 50 times and have never encountered this before. Last time on this ship for sure. It was cabin 6109.
