  1. I get cold called by Princess about 3-4 times a year. Each time, a different Vacation Planner. I have used the same Travel Agent for a decade - and they're not through Princess. Easily, 3-4 times a year, then a follow up email - and i do not have the "yes" checked for info in future products, etc. (as shown in post above). Go figure.
  2. Same as it does on every other ship. There will be laundry lists in your cabin along with laundry bags. Fill out the slip, out clothes in bag and give to your room steward. You can have clothes laundered, professional cleaning or just pressed ..
  3. Casual dining area sit down table served casual restaurants. They vary by ship. $14.99 prix fixe meals or a la carte pricing. O'Malley's, Vines, Salty Dog Gastropub, Kai Sushi, Alfredos/Gigi's, Planks, Steamers, etc. Premium desserts are the large ice cream sundaes at Coffee and Cones or Swirls or Gelatos, etc. and there's premium cake slices at International Cafe.
  4. There are no dining packages on Princess. And specialty dining is generally less to much less expensive than Celebrity, NCL, etc . The Premier Cruise Package includes 2 specialty dinners per sailing.. Indian food is available on request in the MDR. Ask your wait staff or maitre'd . And some dishes generally available daily in buffet
  5. Same across the fleet. Yes, usually open til 2pm. Found near the buffet on most ships, either aft bar or somewhere in the buffet, etc. it does vary by ship https://www.google.com/amp/s/profcruise.com/princess-juice-bar-menu/amp/
  6. So, why not call them what Princess actually does call them, rather than mislead with saying the beverage packages include WiFi, etc? The bundled Cruise Packages are just that, the bundles. And that's what Princess calls them on the website. The beverage packages aren't bundles... They're solely beverages.
  7. To clarify - the beverage packages include nothing but the beverages covered by whichever package. There's 4 beverage packages - Classic Soda, Zero Proof, Plus and Premier beverage packages. The bundled Cruise Packages, ie Plus or Premier Cruise Package, are named after the beverage package included in the bundle, along with WiFi, crew appreciation, medallion shipping, room service delivery, Ocean Now activation, premium desserts, exercise classes, casual dining, specialty dining, etc. One buying the Premier Beverage Package wouldn't have any dining or WiFi or whatnot..
  8. As an FYI - the $45 breakfast you're seeing online to order is the Ultimate Balcony Breakfast, and available to anyone at all. It's a multi-course huge breakfast spread all delivered at once along with half bottle of champagne. It's delightful for those scenic cruising mornings, etc. It is a LOT of food - quiche, salmon, pastries, fruit platters, and so forth. Some customization is available aboard (ie add bacon or some simple things) otherwise it's a set menu. You choose date and time for delivery.. As a Suite guest, you can order full breakfast from the main dining room anytime it's open, if you don't want to go to the suite breakfast. And with the Premier Cruise Package, you would have no delivery fee, plus could order a few mimosas or bloody Marys or whatever for delivery also, if you wanted with breakfast... Enjoy.
  9. Lol. Key West most certainly does NOT limit cruise passengers to 1500 a day. There were some ballot measures passed 4 years ago, that were overturned in less than a year, and the Gov (DeSantis) signing a law in 2021 banning local governance from limiting marine commerce. And in fact, KW is currently contemplating expanding its cruise pier and space, making for more cruise passengers, not less. And yes, there's also the other side of the question working to not expand and in fact try to limit again while working around the ban by the state government on limiting marine commerce... Sailed on Apex there last spring, quite a bit more than 1500 passengers on that ship!
  10. Similar. On Enchanted, the shower is slightly larger, more of a rectangle shape and has a small shelf to put products, rest your leg to shave, etc - while Emerald does not.
  11. On Sun Princess suite guests have the Signature Dining Room for all their meals. Breakfast, lunch, dinner - including embarkation day
  12. Maybe you're thinking it was starboard side, cuz you do go to the right when looking at the dining room entrance. But, facing forward - the entrance for Reserve is port side - same as Club 6... As for why between 5 and 6, who knows. Special groups aboard, numbers, whatever. Your guess is as good as mine
  13. Hmm, it's always been port side when I was aboard. I guess it can change, as I've also had Reserve dining on deck 5 MDR at times in Regal...
  14. Yes, of course. Reserve dining is usually deck 6 MDR Specialty breakfast is in Sabatini's.
  15. New lounge? You mean the Ho Lounge outside Port Everglades, mainly suite guests? That's been open for more than a year now? I guess that would be considered news...
  16. Flavored sparkling water? Nope. Perrier, San Pellegrino, club soda, soda water. You can bring a flavor enhancer like Mio drops or Crystal lite drops or such to zhuzh it up some. Or have the bartender drop some fruit in it. Or a little grenadine. Flavored sparkling waters like La Croix or such, nope. Beverage Packages include can and fountain soda, have for more than a year now...
  17. Makes no difference when it comes to Sun. Sun dining is currently only open through end of May. Some people have been able to book Butcher's Block beyond that - otherwise, nope, nothing else... If you've booked dining on Sun for Feb 2025.- wow. You're definitely a one of super special Elite.
  18. The OP is still outside final payment penalty phase While they may be paid in full, they're still within cancellation without penalty phase. They're outside 90 days..
  19. 2 per cruise, regardless of length. If a 14 nighter is a back to back, for instance - there's been some reports of people getting 4 dinners, ie it reset the next leg. - but not a lot of those reports, and it's unconfirmed in any official capacity. Princess says 2 per cruise is booking number. Savings with the packages are based on 7 night cruises. Better on shorter cruises, worse on longer.
  20. Princess does not have or take reservations for shows, whether production shows or game shows or guest entertainers. First come first serve. Some seating is reserved for Premier Cruise Package purchasers - which is released approximately 10 minutes prior to show time for anyone - this is for production shows only . Currently, production shows are not happening on Sun, nor are the Cirque shows They're coming "soon" with some reports saying early April, Cirque performers have been practicing in The Dome this past sailing - so, that's implies sooner rather than later.. Production shows and guest entertainers in Arena. Cirque shows and guest entertainers in Dome Game shows, comedians, guest entertainers in Princess Live. Music, dancers, guest entertainers in Atrium Musicians in O'Malleys. Pianist in Crooners. Lots going on around the ship (all of it happening currently except production shows and Cirque).
  21. The Thermal Suite is a Suite perk. Not the Enclave. A few Royal class ships include the Enclave for suite guests, at their own discretion - and even then, not always. It's not a guaranteed perk on Royal class ships, and is actually explicitly excluded on the Suite Perk listings.. No, it is not included for suite guests on Sun either. And those aboard have confirmed on past sailings.
  22. FWIW - it's not all that hard to get "doubles" as one drink, depending on what you drink. My partner drinks scotch or whiskey - and orders a Rib Roy, hold the vermouth - with a little ice. Voila, double pour, one drink. Me, I drink vodka rocks. So, order a 007 martini, hold the vermouth, on the rocks. One drink, double pour. Doable for gin also, as a 007 is just their name for a Classic Martini.. they'll hold the vermouth, put it in the rocks and get a dude if tonic - voila, double pour G&T, one drink charged... Doesn't work for other types of drinks as well, but it's doable..
  23. Enchanted S5 walkthrough Reg B102 Discovery A102
  24. It's one shot, and on every Princess ship so far, it's been one drink charge. And covered by Plus beverage package (which is included in the Plus Cruise Package). It is a bit time consuming for a bartender to make as they have to slowly pour in order to layer property, but they'll absolutely do it.
  25. You will not see both Pitons from in town. Only Petit Piton. Seashells is casual, beachfront, delicious and beautiful views Petit Peak is waterfront, gorgeous views If you're wanting quicker and casual - you're not going to be getting any views really, but some good options include Big Yard The Dream Container Bar At the beach park, there's a snack bar, Blue Anchor for sandwiches, hot dogs, etc.. Waterfront in town has Mwen Gen, Belle Vieux and KFC. The Dream, Camille's, Skippers, etc all in town, but no views.. Enjoy
