I purchased ours from a table set up on deck 7 near Princess Live.

Did you have to ask for the credit?

Thank you. I’m glad to hear that.

I added plus while on my Christmas Sky cruise. We didn’t get that $10 credited. I prepaid specialty dining because I wanted to make sure I got the day and time I wanted.

I’m booked at the standard plan for my upcoming cruise. If I upgrade to premium while onboard, will I be refunded for the two specialty restaurants that I prepaid for?

On one occasion, our first cruise after Covid, we were only given two bottles of gin, and 6 extra bottles of beer. I called and was able to negotiate to get a 375ml Bacardi for the gin and the 6 bottles of beer.

In the past, we had to exchange the entire mini bar, alcohol, soda, beer, water and all. I don’t know what the selections are, but the last time, the chardonnay we got was terrible.

They are offering the lobster roll for $14.99 for lunch on the Sky and Enchanted Princess sailing from Florida. I have not tried it yet. Maybe in April.

I’m sorry to hear that.

I noticed that the Majestic will be sailing from Port Everglades late 2025 to early 2026. I am wondering if they will remove Harmony Chinese Restaurant and replace it with Sabatini’s. (I hope not). I assume the Noodle bar would be replaced with Slice Pizza and the Lobster Grill with Salty dog. I hope they keep these venues. It would be nice to change things up a little. Sailing Princess, NY and FL, since 2006 and would love to be able to try different restaurants. BTW, we ate at Rudy’s over the Christmas Sky cruise and absolutely loved it. so much so that we reserved it for 3 nights on our upcoming 7 night Enchanted cruise.

I’m not sure what happened. It certainly didn’t ruin our cruise and it didn’t break the bank.

Princess is not honoring the a la carte pricing. We were charged the $14.99+ for one pizza at Alfredo’s on the Sky just this past December. When we were seated, I told the maître d’ what’s up we were ordering a la carte. We also told the waitress. After I realized what they did, I went to guest services and was told that’s the way it is.

We are back from our B2B cruise. We paid the extra to upgrade to the new plus package. We went to Alfredo’s and had the 3 course with the veal and the eggplant and it was very good. On our second visit we ordered the pizza to share. I told both the maître D and the server that we wanted to order one pizza a la carte. When I didn’t see the charge on our folio for the one pizza, I questioned this and was told it was charged against the casual meal. I asked why and was told that’s just the way it is. The second week we went twice for the complete complimentary meals then on the last day we decided to go just for the pizza. Again we told the maître d and the server that we wanted to share the pizza a la carte.. That one $8.50 pizza was charged at the full dinner cost. $14.99 plus gratuity. We still had OBC credit to burn through, but it annoyed me with their bait and switch.

It’s not looking too good for your return home either.

I purchased the plus plan when it was offered at $50 per day. I had planned on upgrading to what I thought was the new plus plan with the on board credit I have. Since the 2 casual dinings were not included in the original package, if I upgrade on board will I be paying the additional dining gratuity? I’ll upgrade and pay the extras anyway, just curious.

We went to the new steward, introduced ourselves and told him that we’re on a b2b and which cabin we will be in. He thanked me for that information and told me he’ll take care of that cabin first. True to his word, when we returned, our room was ready and all our things moved in.

As far as Princess goes, those are the only ones I know of. They were all Caribbean cruises. I know other cruise lines do the same.

You’re missing the free WiFi. We used to get so many minutes free. Now if you don’t buy the package, you pay for WiFi..although at a discounted price.

True. I purchased an item on the last day of my cruise and because it was already discounted, I didn’t get the additional 10% off. They changed that mid cruise as other discounted items purchased earlier in the cruise got that extra 10% off.

We were on b2b in January, 2020 Sky cruise first week with a polka group. Most venues were closed every night. Made for cranky passengers wanting to see the shows in Princess Live. The second week, there was a large group from a radio station. Disruptive, but not nearly as much as the polka group. They didn’t close every venue for them. I know that during January, they have 3 large groups on Princess. An oldies group, the polka group and the Irish group. I make sure of their dates and ship before I book.

My experience from our December, 2023 Sky cruise leaving from Ft Lauderdale. Wear your medallions so that your status color shows. Towards the front of the line, there is an agent that directs elite to the entrance on the right. Thus bypassing the huge line for non elites. Once inside, you will again be directed to next available security scan. Once your luggage is scanned, you will then be directed to another shorter line for elite. You will then be directed to the next available agent to check in. Then it’s on to the ship. if you get there before all passengers have departed, you will be directed to an elite waiting area. if ever you are unsure which line to go to, tell an agent that you are elite and they will direct you. It’s all very quick. I mean really quick.

We got off the Sky on the 17th. Specialty restaurants were $38 & $25. Since we came home, I’ve read that they were increased. Also, don’t prepay you specialty dinners expecting any on board credit to offset it. I also learned the hard way that if you cancel one of your prepaid dinners, they won’t give you credit.

Thank you

To someone that visits any of the bars. Do they serve Buffalo Trace or Elijah Craig bourbon?

Does anyone know when they will release Caribbean cruises for the 2023-2024 cruise season?
