You're going to need to set up a casino account in order to "cash out" to your account, and then actually get your cash at the casino cashier. You can use cash to play - but if you want to claim your winnings - you'll need to set-up your account, thus using the medallion. And if you want any of your okay to be tracked and counted towards any casino offers - you'll absolutely need to set up your casino account via medallion (it's exactly the same as using a key card on other lines or using your players card in land based casinos.

Suites have the option to order from the MDR menu of the day, whenever the MDR is open. Otherwise, it's the same room service menu as everyone else.

The IP says that they currently have an assigned time and woul leave one bag out - but is thinking to do self walk off - as they can handle their roller bags, etc. as in - not leave a bag.

Even with an assigned time and colored luggage tags, you can decide to simply keep all your luggage and do self walk off in the morning with all your bags - as long as you can handle all of them without any assistance. You do not have to go to Guest Services and change luggage tags or anything at all. I suppose it's a courtesy to help them gauge how many walk offs to expect, but you certainly don't have to at all.. Just keep your bags, and walk off during the window in the morning... Voila, easy peasy all done..

Yes to start with, as in you don't have to play against your onboard account, but you'll have to "cash out" via medallion and go to cashier to get your winnings..

Sun Princess Pools - Am I missing Something?
reedprincess replied to cruisinsince75's topic in Princess Cruises
Fortunately, they have lifts for those mobility challenged who can't do ladders. Celebrity new builds are also only ladders, FWIW - Edge class. -
It's very easy and very self explanatory once at the machine.. Once done, but cash out. It goes to your onboard casino "bank". You can then either then move to a different machine and play those funds or go to cashier and cash out, in cash.

Sapphire Princess thermal suite vs sauna/steam room
reedprincess replied to no1racefan1's topic in Princess Cruises
Thermal Suite is in the spa area. No pool in it. Just steam/sauna and heated tile loungers it's forward of the Lotus Spa pool (which is open to anyone 18 and up, no charge). I'd strongly suggest checking it out in person before buying a pass. And AFAIK, the free steam and sauna in the locker rooms are still there - no aromatherapy in those, just basic steam/sauna - but they are free, and gender segregated, if that matters to you.. -
Interesting "Value" Breakdown of Premier Package
reedprincess replied to BlerkOne's topic in Princess Cruises
Specialty dining on Sun is running $45-49usd, depending on venue.. plus 18%. OP is solo on Sapphire though. -
Nothing has changed from above ports. Tours, sightseeing, etc all available. Enchanted, like all Princess ships (and basically all cruise lines) will be decorated, there will be Christmas type crafts and activities, carolings, cookie decorating, snow in the atrium, Santa visits and gifts for the minors, special Christmas show, formal night, Christmas themed dinner menu, midnight service, and so forth.

Interesting "Value" Breakdown of Premier Package
reedprincess replied to BlerkOne's topic in Princess Cruises
That's a wildly inflated value pricing for a solo, given specialty dining on all ships except Sun is $35/39usd + 18%. AUD pricing is higher, given the exchange, etc. Doesn't work out to $142.90 in any currency however. -
Interesting "Value" Breakdown of Premier Package
reedprincess replied to BlerkOne's topic in Princess Cruises
Not sure how you're getting $142.90 for a solo cruiser for specialty "value". Where is that # coming from? You're options for specialty dining is Sabatini's ($35) or Sterling Steakhouse.($39). not sure whether Premier Cruise Package credits can't be used at Crab Shack or not. Conflicting reports from various sources. -
Princess Plus Dining on ships without any “casual” dining?
reedprincess replied to KarmaCruisers's topic in Princess Cruises
Vines is its own entity, right there on deck 5. Planks and Steamers are "pop-up"s, with they're own decor, signage, menus, etc. Quite large portions of food, go hungry. -
Princess Plus Dining on ships without any “casual” dining?
reedprincess replied to KarmaCruisers's topic in Princess Cruises
You can walk up to Planks and Steamers and wait for a table. Reservations are taken and as they alternate each night, they're recommended but they're not required and usually, there's some walkup space available. And Vines charcuterie is great, really big portions.. -
Princess Plus Dining on ships without any “casual” dining?
reedprincess replied to KarmaCruisers's topic in Princess Cruises
Vines, Steamers and Planks. All 3 are Casual Dining venues. I don't understand your thread title at all as CB has 3 options, similar to most ships - and more than the most recent ship in the fleet, lol.. Casual dining venues include Planks, Vines, Kai Sushi (except on Sun), Alfredo's, O'Malleys, Steamers, Vines, Gigi's, Ocean Terrace Seafood, Salty Dog Gastropub.... And different ships have different venues... CB has 3. -
Passenger Safety: Crew Members in Pax Staterooms
reedprincess replied to New2cruise2022's topic in Princess Cruises
Many, many people frequently and erroneously equate the Plus or Premier Cruise Packages with the Plus or Premier Beverage Packages. The Cruise packages includes the corresponding alcohol beverage package for those of age to drink booze on whatever itinerary - 21 out of US. If under 21, it only includes Zero Proof package, ie non-alcoholic beverage package. It's very very likely the OP, and the cruiser in question, made the same assumption, ie bought the Plus Cruise Package and referring to it as a beverage package - as the vast majority do on the various Princess forums. No, Princess did not erroneously sell an alcoholic beverage package to a "minor" as far as legal drinking age. The system doesn't work that way.. -

Only a portion of it. Half is fully covered, half is not (or maybe 2/3 and 1/3, give or take)..

Casual Dining on the Caribbean Princess?
reedprincess replied to mevs904's topic in Princess Cruises
Last time I was on CB, I had Premier Cruise Package and my friend had Plus. I have no idea how they calculated it, but we definitely shared, and shared again two more times. So if they charged it as two meals - she would have ended up paying for one of them. As far as I know - that was basically one serving - and it's shareable. And I was the only one "charged" as I ordered it.
