On our last cruise, unable to make reservations via app. Called Princess and they said did it for me

I did this cruise last year. Monterey has barred cruise ships since last year. They substituted Catalina for us but we were the only ship in that port. We did tender Loved Catalina. Really did not need an excursion. Island was small enough to do on your own. Hope you get to go

NCL has the laundry bag specials. Very easy to throw a load in at the laundermat. $1.50 each to wash and dry. Think the detergent is $1.25. Use your medallion to get tokens

Just renewed mine and was very surprised to receive it in less then 3 weeks,

Thought I recently read that chairs are now already set up and you no longer go inside to pay. We have recently avoided going due to the rudeness of the chair vendors who made you drag your own loungers My DH had to help a number of older guests. Then you had to go back and get your deposit back. Whole process was a hassle

Don’t usually do the shows

Recently went. Minimal cost. Difficulty getting back. Best to arrange for pick up when you get there. IMO Barbados has the best beaches. Water was so clear and had a firm sandy bottom. No sinking or humps to get over to get out

There is minimal shade so we try to get there as early as possible. I know you can rent clam shells but don’t remember umbrellas. Also don’t remember waiters coming around for drinks,had to go to the bar. They do supply towels. You can grab one as you go to the tender,or get one the night before

We were recently on Ruby. Had prebooked for 2 for 6 pm. They were never able to honor reservation. We’d show up and told it would be about an hour wait. Guess the 6 pm time didn’t allow enough time for those eating early to finish. Also limited number of 2 tops. Most tables sat 6-8. This may be resolved with new dining reservation system. Starting mid September they will offer 3 dining options in 3. different dining rooms. There will be fixed 2 seating traditional, make reservations or walk in without reservation.

Will all be changing starting with Sept 14 cruises. Numerous posts describe changes. Basically you can choose traditional (2 seatings) ,make reservations for specific days and times or just walk in when you choose. Each choice will have their own dining room. I think it may be a little different on Island as I think they have only 2 rooms

We have always had ours applied as a credit to our folio while on board. Usually minimal amount

That is the way I understood it.

Exactly. Specific dining rooms depending on which option you choose. You can not make reservations until June 17.

Gratuities are included in the package, though some people tip extra along the way. 15 drinks per day pp are included at $15. This amount covers most drinks. If you choose something over $15 they will just charge you the overage plus 18%. So a $20 drink would be $5.90

That doesn’t sound right. Should be $60 x10 Did you book online yourself or thru a planner. I’d call first thing in themorning
