I would think they would have the brains to offer it to people who have the cruiseport as their homeport (you have to put your home airport in your documents)

drive to port - check

rock bottom price booked for cabin category - check

Didn't they do something like that for the Sky Inaugural in 2019? Then opened up the VIP 3 day to everyone to fill the ship. We booked the 12/4/19 inaugural and 12/7/19 very early for a B2B. Later they opened up the 12/1/19 cruise. We booked it right away for a B2B2B.  I'll have to keep my eyes open if they do it for the Sun.

yep ... we were on the 12/4 ... couldn't make the 12/1 work for us at that time

By giving people options then restricting where they can be used is a recipe for disaster.  Imagine the dreaded crew confrontations that would happen at the venues. 

you sign the contract - you agree to the terms and conditions - it's only one dining venue on the whole ship - if, the food and service are the same as the other 2 mdr dining venues

I agree with you that they can in fact do what they want.  I think you miss the point.  Why would they adopt a policy that most customers would not like.  

I think most would like it or be indifferent - let the dress up crowd have their own space - why not?

They do, but it would be insane thing to adopt something that is going to be viewed negatively by most customers.  

you are not assigned traditional dining - you choose it. and with that choice, Princess has the opportunity to enforce options, not enforced in the other two mdr venues

official update?

I actually agree with you,  When Princess saw their guests showing up to the MDR dressed for a backyard bbq they said “We can feed these people anything and they won’t even notice if it’s subpar”.  So I guess we know who to blame for the decline in quality.  

but which came first? - the decline in service and food quality in the mdr 

or

the more casual attire of the passengers?

Princess has the perfect opportunity to take back over the strict enforcement of clothing  in the traditional dining room on the SUN Princess when it launches.

OK, that's what I thought the difference was. I really don't understand why they offer just the drink package at a higher price than the combined package

with the just the drink package, it is OK if only one person in the cabin orders the package.

Although I had the drink package, it will not cover any drinks delivered to the stateroom.

that was the way it used to be, but not with the current PLUS and Premier packages.  In fact, you can order multiple beers to be delivered at the same time.  Of course, not exactly the same as having them cold in the fridge when entering for the first time.  That is why our first start is the lobby bar for a beer and a pina colada - smooth, not icy.

I like

a couple lines of text, and a couple of pictures if applicable - a nice short read.

I'd rather read 50 posts than 10 posts that contain the same information

I like to keep them on their toes and switch up the vodka or move to a bloody maria or brit. 

ok, there goes the start making when you walk up, I guess ...

I have a cruise booked with no package as it is a short one...but according to the app I have the pkg...

I'm sure you have your reasons, OBC, etc, but short, less than 7 days, are a perfect time to utilize the PLUS or even Premier packages - Premier having 2 Specialty dinners included and the unlimited casual

our table for 2 turned into a 10 top when the server brought 5 tables of food / drinks at the same time

2 hours and 15 minutes ...

next update?

Is there a restaurant on board Princess ships for suite guests only?

yes, for breakfast ...

when is Princess going to learn its demographic, ditch the ladders, and build a few steps with a handrail to get in and out of the pools?  how about the SUN P?  would it really be that hard or expensive?

There are no bathtubs in the Sun/Star mini-suites.  My DW is not happy!  🥺

That may actually get us to look at those cabins again - shower/tub combo was a no go for us.

There were two of us, each used one casual dining credit.

I ate there three other times (Premier Cruise Package). Smaller the other times as it was just me.. 

so, 2 different cruises? one with PLUS? 

Just now, DHP1 said:

Which is expected. The ship won’t be 100% completed. There will be continuation work inside for a month or so. 

 

 

Huh? - why is that expected?  Did the SUN P lose a restaurant during sea trials - that's a whole lot of shakin' goin' on

SUN P had recently undergone sea trials - have any problems been reported that came up during those?  

What about Resilinet Lady - sea trials?

I wonder if they will.

 

 I know some of the crew have been there for a couple of weeks.  So I was hoping for those who had booked that it would indeed still be a go.
