can you explain to me how future cruise credit's work and why do people get them ahead of time and book them etc. etc.

i've never had a hurricane i will try one

this has been my favorite live... only bc i'm getting on the ruby in 50 days or so and can get a glimpse of food and patters! thank you! so much... keep it coming

that pub lunch looks absolutely delicious and we love sushi! great day for eating!!

really like the sea day patter today. what are you going to do? are you collecting charms? dont forget to yell bingo! have a good day.

What time are you booking your dinners? Im asking to find out what time to book so that we can still make the shows...? etc. also, i see there is a lot of private tables vs... sitting with a group at earlier times. What are you doing?

Can you send photos of the oceanNOW for the gifts and other things that aren't food you can order?

multiple by .2 and that gives you the number. basically $2 per $10 drink and every $5 dollars above that is $1 its .20 cents per dollar give or take... approximately

you're probably right now that i'm looking again. i remember where i saw it now! sabatinis! sorry about that

They are basically valuing the wine at $18/pour CG- $39 Filet upcharge- $10 5 glasses of wine $15 with tip $18 $140.00

may 27- can you please do a LIVE from the ship with menus, patters?

That is a very visually dramatic story.

I hope to have it figured out by my Ruby princess ship ride on May 27

I agree with this. I love espresso... and although I haven't had alcohol in 2 years... I will have a glass or two of wine per night... on the cruise. Maybe even an afternoon cocktail. 2 espressos... maybe an iced coffee? Makes sense for me to get the PREMIER. I will probably go to a class or two... definitely wont eat the dessert unless I can just get the gelato with some hot fudge? I see value. Princess Prizes? Sure... as the lottery commercial says "who's next".

Caymus Vineyards and Cabernet Sauvignon are synonymous with wine enthusiasts globally as one of the most sought-after wines to pour and share around the table for special celebrations. Now Princess Cruises is working with this renowned winery to offer the exclusive Caymus Vineyards Winemaker Dinner, available on Princess ships sailing North America itineraries by the end of April, including all Alaska voyages, and across all ships worldwide by late May. Available in the popular Crown Grill specialty restaurant for $140 per person, the new Winemaker Dinner leverages the expansive expertise of Chuck Wagner, owner and winemaker of the renowned Napa Valley'sCaymus Vineyards, to deliver a five-course menu (see below), crafted to complement the tasting notes of his wines. The dinner, available for 12 guests per seating, will be offered 2-3 times per cruise, based on voyage length, and interested guests can reserve their spot once on board. "Our new Caymus Vineyards Winemaker Dinner further elevates the Princess culinary experience and wonderfully showcases the elegance of cruising," said Sami Kohen, Princess vice president of food and beverage. "Our passionate culinary team and Chuck have curated what promises to deliver a deliciously memorable and tantalizing experience that will have our guests talking long after the last course and glass of wine are served." Wagner, along with the Princess culinary team, personally selected the wines paired with the multi-course menu served. In addition to Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, he has perfectly matched up the dinner courses with varietals from the family's other offerings, including Caymus-Suisun 'The Walking Fool' Red Blend, Mer Soleil Reserve Chardonnay, Sea Sun Pinot Noir and Emmolo Sparkling. "We have an appreciation for family, friends, delicious food and great wine, along with the many connections between them," said Chuck Wagner, Caymus Vineyards owner and winemaker. "We love how Princess also recognizes that cruise travel fosters deeper relationships with its guests and the destinations they visit by sharing experiences around the table, and we're thrilled to pour our wines and share our passion through a specially curated dinner with this beloved cruise line." Caymus is a hands-on family affair which Wagner founded in 1972, alongside his late parents, when he was just 19 years old. After 50 harvests, he continues to make two renowned Cabernet Sauvignons - Caymus Napa Valley and Caymus Special Selection. Chuck now works alongside two of his children, Charlie and Jenny, and the family also makes diverse wines from Napa Valley, other parts of California and beyond. Wagner is widely recognized for his winemaking and industry leadership, and all three Wagners continue to experiment with farming and winemaking, continuing the family legacy and commitment to excellence. In addition to the new dinner, Caymus Vineyards is also working with Princess on a refreshed wine menu, and Caymus Vineyards will be the curator for the cruise line's Crown Grill steakhouse, chops and seafood specialty restaurant, with wine pairing recommendations on the menu. Coming later this year, guests will have the opportunity to visit Caymus Vineyards in Rutherford, Napa Valley, and Caymus-Suisun Winery in Suisun Valley, Calif., on exclusive shore excursions offered on various California-based cruises.

Which sailing date on the ruby? We are going too and had the same question!

Did you attempt to book the chef's table?

Going on Ruby in May- looking forward to seeing photos of menus, food, patters, etc! Keep up the good work, we do not mind!

do you realize that i say this about every upcharge, all the way to speciality dining and the premier package, the lobster tails, premium suites or balcony's... it's just money, you get what you pay for and it's not that big of a deal if you want those things- there will be an associated cost

Has anyone received one?
