On the Diamond Princess, in Japan, they have slippers in the cabins. I haven't seen them on any other Princess ship.

We just took a 13 day Japan cruise. We booked it as 13 days, but Princess broke it up into 2 cruises (8 day and 5 day). Our photo package was only good for the first portion. If we wanted the photos from the 5 day cruise, we had to buy another package or purchase the photos individually. It wasn't always like this, though.

Both times that we sailed on Princess with our family we have chosen Anytime Dining so that we would have the flexibility of changing the time that we dined if we needed to. However, on both occasions we made a standing reservation for 6pm in one of the Anytime dining rooms and requested that we have the same table each night. Our request was accomodated without any problem and we felt that we had the best of both worlds - we had the same waiters every night who knew what we wanted but if we were late getting back to the ship then we could change the time of our dinner.

When we sailed on the Golden Princess last summer, we had a fantastic experience with Anytime Dining. We traveled with our two small children (3 and 1 at the time) and we were a party of 11.

We requested a standing reservation time, which we were provided. And if for some reason we needed to push it back by a half hour, the moved it for us without issue.

We had the same table and same waiters who were very accomodating. When my 3 year old's pickiness came up on the first night, they specially made her mac & cheese, delivered by the Head Waiter. The Head Waiter was amazing! She ensured our children were fed promptly and spoiled them to bits!

When we sail in a few weeks on the Crown Princess, we requested Anytime Dining as well. We just love the flexibility.
