  1. Just got the survey a few moments ago. I’m a hard NO! Wonder why it came a week after the OP’s came?
  2. I just looked at the menus for our silhouette cruise. They have indeed changed and not for the best. I was quite disappointed at the offerings and how few choices there were. Looks like the classics are mixed in with the main menu. Take the classics out and there are just a few unappealing options. We’ll see how it goes and make our decision whether X is still the cruise line for us or not.
  3. We were on our first Princess cruise to Alaska this summer. We did enjoy it very much. We sailed for much less including Princess plus than X for a base fare and non-refundable deposit. Our deposit with Princess was refundable if need be. I do like Celebrity a little better, and we are Elite but would not sail Celebrity if the cost was much greater. I don’t think the little extras are worth the increase X is charging these days. We also were in a regular veranda as opposed to Suites on our last 5 Celebrity cruises. The experience was still the same. I didn’t miss the Retreat experience so on our next Celebrity cruise we are sailing in a regular veranda.
  4. We are on the 29th sailing as well. The St Vincent stop on the March sailing that the OP was referring to has been replaced. The Celebrity website says they do not stop in St Vincent. I’m wondering if we are not stopping and it’s just a placeholder until they find another port? Don’t know but it’s odd that 5 months out there are no excursions. At one point, St Vincent was removed from our itinerary than put back on.
  5. My booking cruise fare went up $600 and now only includes $200 OBC as opposed to $450. The July 4 promo definitely favored me better. I repriced with that one. X drives me crazy with their gimmick so called sales all the time.
  6. As everyone has stated, the Elite Cocktail Hour is meaningless when you have a package. Enjoy the package and drink when and where you’d like.
  7. When I did a mock booking, it did reference “all included” on the payment screen. I did not have the option to opt in or out when booking.
  8. I know it’s the beginning of the season but was curious if any ship has made it through? We are scheduled in a couple weeks on the Discover Princess. We are waitlisted for the boat excursion so really hoping it’s passable.
  9. Since you can order through your medallion and app, are there no longer waiters walking around even in other venues too? First princess cruise on the discovery in a few weeks. We usually sail celebrity so have no idea. Thank you and enjoying the review. Very helpful since we will be on the discovery very soon.
  10. Our medallions arrived today. The sea turtle art I ordered for my medallion face was cutoff. You can’t even tell what it is. My husband ordered the moose and it’s completely recognizable and centered. Has this ever happed to anyone else? Waiting for Princess to call me back. Doubt I can get a new one in time. Hopefully they’ll refund since this this not what I paid for 😢
  11. Would just a sport jacket and tie be ok? My husband usually brings a suit for formal nights, but we will be traveling with so much extra and heavier clothing due to the cold weather itinerary. This will mean an extra pair of pants and shoes. TIA
  12. If you could only do one, which one? Cost issue. We are going late May if that makes a difference. Also, morning or afternoon tours if that makes a difference too. If we don’t do the helicopter land on Mendenhall with hike, we will still go to Mendenhall via land and go to the falls. If we don’t do the seaplane to Misty Fjords, we are considering the Zodiac Quest to George Inlet Fjords or a Misty Fjords explorer cruise. I will say the seaplane crashes do make me nervous but not ruling it out. TIA
  13. Loving your review. Thank you. Have they locked your balcony door at all during the voyage. We have a forward facing booked for our Alaska cruise.
