  1. Not necessarily bigger, but the windows are nicer on Deck 6. I debated on Deck 5/starboard side or deck 6. I would have been happy with either. Deck 5 has a “secret” door that leads to the library. I thought I would use the library as my living room, but never had time to do that. Deck 6 would have been more convenient. The higher the cabin number, the better. Just be aware that some cabins are designed for 4.
  2. Generally, any refundable OBC (over $25) will be refunded via another company. It will arrive by check…do not throw away without opening. Someone will chime in on name on envelope.
  3. I’ve used EZ Air multiple times. Always less than booking directly for my reservations (not always the case when I have flown without EZ Air). I have run into a few complications because THE AIRLINE made the cancellation. But EZ Air has come through for me. I had to be flexible and invest some time on the phone and at the airport. Look at EZ Air as the same as a guarantee cabin. Patience is the name of the game.
  4. Specific to the Caribbean Princess: The ship is still pretty much the same. I believe the cigar lounge is/will be soon turned into a vending machine arcade. (Secretly wished they had turned it into a non-smoking slot room.) If you are is in full suite, you will have access to a roving concierge. If you are in Reserved Collection mini-suite or Full suite, you may dine in the Reserve Collection part of the MDR on Deck 6. Lots more revenue activities. Lots more noise and activities in the Piazza. Plus @Mud_Shark detailed post.
  5. Glitches? How could that be? They are no longer supporting the old app that took 4 years to perfect. aka Sheldon Cooper
  6. Showing up on my new app (old app has been discontinued).
  7. Are you asking about ocean view? Deck 5 and 6 have nice midship cabins close to everything.
  8. I have never been able to reserve a suite dinner via the app. I gave up. Others have been successful. I just call the fine line when I get on board.
  9. Hotels work slightly differently. If they do not have a room, they will find you accommodations at a sister property. Not always ideal, but you will have a bed.
  10. Guaranteed cabins may be assigned as late as at the port.
  11. Have you received approval from the hotel to check in early? I don't know what a day pass is. Are you able to check in just for the day? I guess you could leave your luggage in storage at the hotel if you arrived early. International Cafe is open early (24/7?) Buffet opens at 6? MDR opens at 6:30?
  12. Me too. But when I was confirmed, another page popped up so you could enter your information. I was also informed that I would be getting a "follow up" of some kind since I applied so far out. Will see what that means.
  13. Arizona Memorial: Very limited to what you can take in with you. Charging for parking now. Don't leave valuables in the car..."opportunists" look for rental cars (they have bar codes on the window). You are missing out on Spam. 7 Eleven has the best (according to officiates. The "Kodak Hula Show" is back at Kapiolani Park. Called something esle now. Free.
  14. Get to the theater 30 minutes early for good seats. Explore the ship from top to bottom (not necessarily on the first day). Bring a refillable water bottle for lemonade (love this stuff). Tea/coffee/milk/lemonade are free in the buffet and MDR. You will be fine without Plus or Premier. FOR ME, it is just a convenience. Each passenger is allowed one bottle of wine. You can purchase 12 (500 mL bottles of water for $7.08. Cheaper than the ones they sell individually. If you bring water onboard...it is suppose to be in cans. Water is very safe to drink on the ship without purchasing water. The aft pool and seating area is wonderful. Try to avoid mid-ship elevators. Be aware that Deck 5 and 6 do not go from bow to stern. Use Deck 7 as your thoroughfare. Or walk out on the Promenade to avoid the crowds, especially after the theater lets out.
  15. I argued the same point with the Food and Beverage assistant officer. Too me, it seemed illogical that Princess would charge you for a suite perk (MDR menu) that could not be ordered any other way (if you did not have Plus or Premier). He confirmed with his boss, the senior officer. Princess fails badly with anything that would be considered an exception to the rule.
