First time on Princess, sailing Caribbean Princess, is Vines open as a casual dining venue for dinner?

Is the 60.00 pp for plus charged for day of embarkation and day of debarkation? 60.00 x 8  pp?

We are booked for January, I hate to fly and I am thinking of canceling incase we get stuck in Aruba or Bonaire and have to fly home😱

Thanks for all replies!

You are correct on the price. If your teenager likes to drink bottled waters , sodas, mocktails or coffee drinks it may be worthwhile to get him plus as well since that includes the WiFi and crew appreciation and all the non alcoholic drinks they want

Thanks, its for my cousins son, I will run that option by them.

The teen can sign in on their device as one of you. Then the two adults will have a one internet package. It will only affect your access to the internet. It will not affect you ability to use the on board itntAnet.

Thanks for the reply, he really needs his own.

I have searched but can't find an answer.  2 adults have plus package with wifi, teen needs wifi, is there a package available pre cruise or any deals once onboard to purchase for teen? Looks like its 24.99 per day without a package.

The bars will sell you cans of ginger beer.  Not every bar, but several.  (Gosling's ginger beer is my second favorite drink.)

 

They also make /sell various mules.  

Thanks!

Thanks everyone, its available in cans. I have heard that some people in the past have had trouble with root beer and ginger beer, probably one of those screeners that nc762shooter mentioned having a bad day!  It will only be a about a 20.00 loss if confiscated but then I will have to buy cans of ginger beer if the bar will sell them to go with the Vodka, oh my, first world problems.

Anyone recently brought non alcoholic ginger beer on the Vista out of Port Canaveral?  I don't want to order vodka for room and then have ginger beer confiscated during embankment, we are not purchasing drink package.

Not sure if it's a drift snorkel.  You def didn't have to go far to see fish and coral.  It was all right there.  I have heard great things about Woodwind too, but never used them.

Thanks!

Thanks for the great info.  Was Lady Bellais a drift snorkel, I read that woodwind is a drift snorkel where you can just drift along and then they pick you up, you don't have to swim back to the boat, have done that before and loved it.

We love the aft facing Aurea on the Seashore but the only ones I see on the Grandiosa have adjoining doors, has anyone been in one of these and heard noise through that door,

we are light sleepers.

Not knowing how you booked your cruise, I would just call the 800 number for Princess and ask them. Once you get a hold of somebody ask if they can email you a confirmation of the time zone for final payment, that way you have it in writing with your booking number and any other pertinent information. And if they won’t do that, then I think you’ll figure out what to do .

Are you planning on paying online for your final payment? It doesn’t sound like you have a travel agent or a Princess vacation planner? Either way it doesn’t seem to be advertised what time zone final payment cut off date is. Final payment date,yes - it is on your travel summary.
I personally would never go by what somebody is telling you on cruise critic- you need to get to the bottom of your situation with Princess, so that you can make an informed decision for yourself. Doesn’t matter what other cruise passengers do if they make final payment at the time of booking, 2 to 3 weeks before, one day before, etc. that doesn’t help your situation.

Thank you, I am hoping to have most of the afternoon and evening to pay so time zone may not mattter, but. would be nice to know the actual cut off

Thank you all for your replies.  Long story why I need to wait til last minute, too long to post here, I usually pay a few days before final is due.  Thanks again, I can't find anything on the website but I'm thinking it is PT, not sure I can trust the people at Princess to know for sure.

Hoping someone knows for sure if final payment date for Princess booking is 11:59 on date of final payment and what time zone the 11:59 would be if that is the time.  Thanks in advance

 Wakey , wakey ! We were knocked up about 2 hours from London to order breakfast .

 

 

 

It was served near Ireland . Our flight had followed the East coast of the US and Canada before jumping over the pond .

 

 

 

Funny story, we were renting a house to some folks that had just arrived in Florida from England, the wife said to my husband  "come round and knock me up in the morning", he almost passed out!!  That's the first time I have heard/seen that expression since.  Looking forward to this review, sailing on Caribbean Princess in December, wondering if the rumors of drydock in October a true.

I did.  We sail March 30th.  Haven't done this excursion before, but I read wonderful things about it.  We are all excited!

Did you do this excursion, if so how was it?

Thanks, I tried to search the forum for an answer first but didn't come up with anything.  We use an independent excursion on Grand Turk but they want a carnival excursion.

I am looking at a carnival excursion, one of the people that is traveling with us is over 72, excursion cut off is 70, they snorkel and swim better than people half their age, has anyone ever heard of exceptions to this rule?

Thanks, it looks like something to do with the elevator, wish I knew what it was.

So unfortunate, we were on an MSC cruise with a group of about 200, it was a legends of rock cruise for our group.  The original drummer for the band Boston passed away on stage of a heart attack, he was playing the drums when it happened, very tragic for his band mates, his wife and all of us in the group, sorry for this persons family on your cruise right now.

Looking at deck plan of Seashore aft corner cabins, one side has some kind of curve out to the glass elevators and the other corner cabin doesn't show it, any idea what the difference is?

Resurrecting this post to ask if the cleaning machine that parks outside the cabin balcony is used early in the morning/does it wake up folks in cabin?

Fire Door. Notice that B535 is adjacent to cabin B601. 500 series cabins are in a different fire zone from 600 cabins. You will notice that from forward to aft the cabin series go from 100's to 700's. These are the different fire zones as well as different zones for other purposes. 

Thank you
