We just did our first Guarantee cabin, it's a back to back, booked 2 weeks ago with 37 days to sail. We are MF Mini, will see what we get? No reply from Princess yet.
currently on Crown in Alaska, grand class simply the best here due to more viewing locations. Ship is in very good shape and food and service have been top notch.
Leave in less than a week on a 10 day Alaska cruise (our first as elite) had an offer in for a club class mini from our reg mini. I get a email an hr ago from TA that we got an upgrade to aft Penthouse! Our first visit from upgrade fairy ever. So she does exist.
We just remember we are on vacation, take your time! When your in a hurry ship seems full but when you are leisurely strolling you don't notice. Honestly Princess ships rarely feel packed even at full capacity.
Had the new aft Amalfi suite on the Island after it was installed after dry dock. 3 sliders, side and rear balconies 40feet worth. Great cabin. As for best perk hard to beat Breakfast at Sabatini's.
I will tell you for me returning to Fort Lauderdale sucks! If you can find a circle cruise that’s what I recommend. We really enjoyed the circle cruise itinerary.
Now they just need to ditch the coffee syrup and serve real brewed coffee like other lines do. Coffee has been my biggest disappointment with Princess.
I am also annoyed about another type of chair hog. When buffet seating it full to the brim and people exiting buffet area with plates of food to find 1 person at a table for 4 already done eating on phone or staring out window or the party of 4 or 6 who after eating decide to start a card game. I find this type of char hog inconsiderate as there are so many places on ship to to do things other than eat. We eat and leave so others can do the same.
We leave on the Discovery in a week for a 7 day. Plus was $1000 more pp of course we passed. Really depends on what you get it for. Some cruises it’s a bargain it just depends.
You simply can Not! Order a ribeye in CG anymore. My last 3 have been mediocre to horrendous. Agreed a better steak can be found most nights in the buffet.
