  1. if i go to my account on princess. I click on the cruise, go to on board services, and under beverage packages click on it and it will say if you have the beverage package, and asks if you want to upgrade that package. also on travel summary, under special services, it shows the package if paid for try that, hope you find it
  2. Most of our cruises are out of Los Angeles (San Pedro port). We show up when we want. Our last cruise, just got home yesterday, we were suppose to show up at 11:00. Then we received 3 emails during the two weeks prior to the start of the cruise, telling us to show up at 1:00 - ship is leaving at 3:00 - not happening. We were in the parking lot at 11:00 a - walked over to the luggage handlers, turned over our luggage, went through security, walked to the elite line, got checked in and we were on board by 11:30 If you are told to wait in a holding area, then wait but it won't be long. We had the smoothest boarding and quickest this past cruise.
  3. If you have never participated in a slot tournament - do it. I think it is fun (my husband does not) - We just got off the Discovery - Jan 7th (Mexican Riveria) and it was a $25,000 pay out. 1st -$10,000 2nd $2,500 3rd $1,500 4th $1,000 5th $900 6th $800 7th $700 8th $600 9th - 10th - $500 1st - 10th paid in cash the rest is in free play 11th - 16th $400 17th - 24th $300 25th - 30th $200 When you board, your invitation will be in the cabin telling when on that day you must report to the casino to receive your play time and sign the rules form. Day 2 - round one started at 10:00 a.m. - 7 machines - play for 5 minutes and rack up the points. (250 players). At 10:00 pm they post the scores, the top 98 move to the next day - You get another card giving you your new time to show up for the next round. Day 3 round two starts at 10:00 - at 4;00 you return to the casino to find out the top 42 to compete for round 3. The top 7 scorers are in the finals the next day. The players #8 thru #30 are given their prizes that night. I came in 18th in the 3rd round and received $300 free play The top winner - "SA" - he was 98th after the first round. ( your points do not accumalate - you start each round with zero. ) - so technically, he was in last place and ended up winning the "big" money. During the course of this cruise we say a woman hit a buffalo machine on the first night for $7670, two days later another lady hit a grand jackpot for $10,000 and another lady hit $4,500. my husband hit a buffalo machine for over $1,000 and I hit a major jackpot on a triple drum machine for over $900. Most people were complaining that they had lost their "ass". Had a great time playing and watching others play.
  4. did you get a offer slipped under your door the at the end of the cruise. It will be based on your play. Once you have established yourself in the casino, you will get emails and flyers. My husband had almost 6,000 points and me almost 5,000 points husband's offer: free inside cabin, princess plus and $150 casino free play me: free inside (no princess plus) and $250 casino free play, we do not book these offers, as we have gotten better offers from the mail or emails.
  5. Just got off the Discovery this morning. MDR was open at 6:30 for breakfast. Then go back to room to brush teeth, grab your stuff and get off the ship

  12. i will try later. Lunch in Skagway was fast, and the beef was tender and flavorful. Doors for lunch opended aat noon, we were done by 12:30 - back to room to watch the safety video. nothing on board to indicate that Mazalan to not going to be a stop. using a wireless keyboard with my ipad and it is difficult tv shows seem to be the same as the last 7 cruises we have been on in the past year. few new movies but not many
  13. no reservations. We would walk up, get table, or sit at the bar. Show up early to get table.
  14. margarita is the best. I love it, but one knocks me on my butt. wish I could drink them all day long,
  15. before the bidding system if cabins were available, once on board the ship you could go to guest services and ask to upgrade. We were booked in a balcony and paid $30 a day per cabin to upgrade to mini suite, next cruise it was $40 per day. Now the bidding system, I put in a bid of $300 total to upgrade from balcony to mini suite. 7 night cruise, bid was accepted. We have another cruise in April and I will bid up again if available.
  16. No one seems to have tried to book an Alaska cruise/land tour with casino offer, so I found a cruise on Holland America - 28 days around trip out of Seattle that its 21 stops. I went on the website Ocean Player Club which is Princess and Holland America casino company and asked if they would offer us a casino cabin for that cruise - never hurts to ask, I will let you know how they respond
  17. We were on the Discovery in April 2022 - ship was not full. We ate at the Ocean Terrace 2 or 3 times. My husband loves sushi, and I still found things on the menu that meet my needs. The food is excellent and we would have lunch (only on sea days) or dinner and the cost was $15 - $20 total. if you like sushi, give it a try. I would give a five stars.
  18. I was cleaning out my files and paperwork and came across some of the offers "in the past" that we had received. Free balcony, plus package, $500 free play and lots of cruises to choose from. I think it will be awhile before we get these offers again. We have 3 cruises this year (2023) and will not book another until we get a "good" offer.
  19. We did our first cruise with Princess using a voucher received from Harrah's Rincon.
  20. we received the email. I called the next day and paid the amount. We were on Deck 10 in a regular Balcony and are still on Deck 10 in a mini suite. Not sure what happens to those that don't want to pay for the new cabin
  21. I am not sure if you can get a free cruise/free play without taking a cruise, playing in the casino and getting yourself established. We are taking our 13 cruise on Princess next month. Our first was a 28 day "bucket" list cruise to Tahiti round trip out of LA. That cruise got us free offers. We currently are looking at a cruise on Holland America - which is a sister company to Princess - I am planning to call Holland to see if they will give us a discount passed on our Princess status - don't know if that will work, but I will try.
