yes, this thread was first in the Princess forum, but was correctly moved to the Florida Departures forum

This thread is so much better than that boring surge protector blabbering I know more than anyone else, I've never been wrong, I am the forum xpert

Actually not so.  I frequently visit Starbucks.  Have seen people sitting there for hours studying, reading, having business meetings without purchases. Have seen meetings of 4-5 people where maybe one might buy.

 

Now exactly what area of the IC was designed specifically for drinking coffee?  Do you mean the area that is part of the bar? or do you mean the seats with the low tables that surround the entertainment area?  

I usually get there early to get a window seat by an outlet to plug in my surge protected strip to plug in my laptop, phone and camera while using my OM to order my drinks so I don't have to get up

Sorry do not buy the idea that sitting in an area the venue allows and not moving is bad manners. Yes it says a lot about me, my manners and my attitude. Fortunately it is the way I am and if it bothers you then that is your problem.  Keep on expecting others to placate you and your ideas as you will continue to be disappointed.

I sure hope I don't spill my soup while juggling my hot coffee while standing between the chairs at your table waiting for you to leave ..

oh, wait ...

We have been in an inside, oceanview, balcony and suite.  We had a suite on Celebrity and it was great - just a regular, but it was roomy, nice large couch, nice big bathroom with tub, and two dressers.  If I could afford it, I would take a suite everytime, but you take what you can afford.

We currently are confirmed for dinner in the Palm dining room and 7:15 so it was reassuring to read your comment about it. Are you able to get a seat for the shows that start at 9:00pm?

are you at a 2-top?  if so, tell your waiter(s) and they may be able to reduce the time between courses...

we were in and out one time , on a 'formal night' in about 1 hour

But then I cut him some slack since he has this crazy woman fan stalking him.  Last night she drew up a chair right next to the piano.  By the end of the week, I expect to see her in his lap.  

did she have her own music and want to sing ???

It all depends what the smoothies are made from.

maybe someone can find and repost that ...

You can say that again. 

They're beginning to price it out of range & only encouraging people to share the package. 

'smoothies' added - a healthy alternative to the sugar water ..

We have sailed out of Whittier quite a few times and 5 PM is too early in my opinion.  Hopefully, HAL has thought it all out and has worked with all those concerned to make cruising worthwhile for people.  We were thinking of a HAL/Princess combo but not sure it will work --- will have to wait until Princess schedules come out.

does HAL also do cruisetours ??

"we are ELITE , sailing in a FULL SUITE, hoping to take the JET COPTER to make our flight with FIRST CLASS seats"

or

" we are ruby , booked and inside cabin , and hope we can get to the greyhound station on time "

I simply stand between those occupied chairs at the IC and start making a 'hacking' sound ... while looking around for a table to clear

A PCP has no more power to grant discounts than a regular Princess rep does. 

For the “special” rates you both get a great TA could knock more than 10% off that rate. So IMO you are both leaving a lot of $$ on the table.

That is your prerogative.  I will stay with my TA and reap the benefits. I can’t afford to leave any $$$ on the table.

8% - 12%

I have said this so many times on this site "A cruise is NOT a camping trip!!"  

WELL STATED !!!   it's more of a "GLAMPING" TRIP, amirite?

Inexplicable.  Which ship and date?  Have you called Princess to inquire?  Regardless, you will be able to buy single device plans on embarkation - and the price will most likely be even better.

 

same here - SKY - new ship - December 2019

the AIBP has been changed to the PBP - Premier Beverage Package - increased cost and a limit of 15 alcoholic beverages per 'Princess Day'

What is the scotch they offer please? 

 

To me Canadian Club is only good as a paint stripper!!   

 

However a few years ago I was given a bottle as a "Special Gift of my Husband's Favourite Whiskey" by an American "friend".  Being a single malt guy I took one small drink to try it and nearly gagged.  It was put to great use though. 

At the time we were making out Christmas cakes which required soaking the fruit in something alcoholic.  We used the whole bottle and after 3 days poured it off and used the fruit in the cakes.   The drink was wonderful!!!!!

Dewers White Label is what was in ours

what would be the "value" per day, per person on a typical 7 day cruise in a balcony during the 3 For Free promotion?

the "value" of a pp, pd during sip n sail is about $70 if you bought the package

Hi All,

 

Will be staying in a full suite, have a 10:40 am flight booked.  Will we have enough time to catch our flight?  We will be flying first class if that matters.

 

Thank You!

 

your jet copter will land on the ship shortly after arrival in port ...

I saw a little girl - maybe 7 or 8 - get out of a pool, come over to her family table beside us, SEMI-SQUAT and PEE right on the concrete, then go back to the pool ... NO, it wasn't her suit dripping ... it was a stream, and it was yellow

it was on our one and never again BARNIVAL cruise ...

i'll just leave that little nugget right here ...

The only thing I don't like about Starbucks is their price. ☺️

I have never set foot inside a starbucks and have no plans to ever do so ...

I think my wife may have brought me one at an airport one time ...
