Musky Ike

Premium desserts, Juice bar, and fitness classes. Still not worth it IMO.

And looked for cheaper egg brands.

Yup, just save the paperwork until after the cruise incase of cancellation refund back to the card.

After 40+ years, I think I can count on the loyalty, however, the implementation costs verses profit margin calculations are not good. 🤔

I go to the IC for my my coffee most mornings and bring back breakfast for mine. Maybe I will start charging her $5 for that. 😉

Keep in mind that if you wait until onboard to purchase the package you run the risk of yet another price hike happening before then.

Thank goodness just put the phone down. I imagined the people standing in the hall outside their cabin waiting for delivery so they could save $5.😁

Sounds like Princess might just end the standard rate at some point, but they need it for low lead in pricing.

You are dam right. Not sure why I included HAL, I was thinking Norwegian.

And Carnival, Holland America, Viking etc. Now that I think about it, Princess is sort of an exception.

Not on the website. For some Princess is a title. Too much Disney influence I guess.

Hardly a start to the day on Carnival.

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, drinking is considered to be in the moderate or low-risk range for women at no more than three drinks in any one day and no more than seven drinks per week. For men, it is no more than four drinks a day and no more than 14 drinks per week

Just show up early. You can still check in, find a seat in the elite lounge and be in the first boarding group as far as I can tell. A couple of minutes less of sitting in the lounge is not so bad.

When is the cruise? Bidding starts 5 days after the final payment date.

Exactly, not only that, but your shipmate (if you have one) can go to any of the kiosks with theirs and locate it. Pretty dumb criminal to use something in the commission of a crime that can be tracked directly to you in real time. Plus you can't escape unless you want to jump overboard.

In the olden days it was a card in a holder by the door. Easy to remove by the passenger. They were kind of nice to take home for the scrapbook.

On the other hand. I am betting not many will go to guest services to get a missing charge added to their account.

We use that term also, just with a different pronunciation.

No brat onboard could stand up next to those around a Northwoods campfire and everyone knows brats pair better with beer. Old fashions are for the upper crust badgers.

Tough topic coming from Wisconsin where talking cheese is like talking politics, at some point we agree to disagree. I will say that I have found both good and not as good options onboard in the Horizon Court. I will agree that the cheese plate on the MDR dessert menu is ho-hum, but still lighter and better than the super sweet dessert options IMHO. Of course for us here, cheese is part of every meal and in-between snacks.

Yup, been there ,done that. My earlier comment was more of an observation than any complaint. So new cruisers are aware. However, I do mention to Princess that it shows the demand is there earlier and maybe they should reconsider the hours of alternate coffee venues. Also they could separate the food and drink lines at the IC. Sometimes they intertwine and folks stand in the wrong one or both. First world issues for sure.

The coffee line at the IC at 7:00 or even earlier can be very long.

However, not open 24 hrs. like the IC. Not an option for the real early risers.

Make sure both onboard accounts are combined under your name and credit card. You can check at passenger services once onboard if you are not sure. You should see both accounts itemized as well as the joint balance/deficit when you check your account.
