5,000+ Club (4/15)

  1. Can you show me screen sit if this. I know we don’t pay that much for one person to upgrade just the WiFi when we both have plus osckages
  2. Are you looking at WiFi by itself or as part of the plus package ? Also do not confuse the Princess value for actual charges. The length of cruise makes a difference. We cruise for up to 3 weeks at a time and premier vrs plus is $40 per day if we take premier.
  3. So you stiff all the waiters and bartenders in restaurants on land. ? If so I would not go to the same restaurant very often. Back in the day funny things would be done back in the kitchen. We tip a good deal and I will guarantee you that I will get better made drinks served quicker than you
  4. Noy all tables are booked pre cruise. I have eaten at the Crown Grille on every cruise I have taken in the last 5-10 years and never pre booked
  5. If you are in a full suite you have Reserve dining you cannot make reservations just show up and you will be seated. There is no concierge lounge on Grand class ships
  6. Plus program gets you up to 15 cocktails a day. If you are like us and drink Grey Goose vodka martinis and Woodford Bourbon Manhattans. Then plus gives you the alcohol you need It used to be $10 per day and both people in cabin do not have to upgrade the WiFi
  7. Since on a typical 2 week cruise we will consume well over a hundred cocktails mostly from one or two bars we will top out much more than that at the end of the cruise. Especially when it is a bartender we know from past trips and they always give us outstanding service
  8. That is a regular mini suite so you should be able to make dinner reservations through the app or the online version of the app
  9. I have found that in most suites the side of the bed closest to the bathroom is also where the desk is with the electrical outlets. Therefore I bring an extension cord
  10. Haines is often used as an alternative to Skagway. I have seen it mostly due to weather when a ship is due to be anchored off of the pier and the captain does not think it is safe to tender
  11. Bartenders are not part of the crew appreciation that you pay. They have their own contracts. If we patronize a bar quite a bit during a cruise and have established a relationship with the bartenders we always tip out at the end of the cruise even though we have a package which is supposed to include gratuities on drinks
  12. I understand that but you can pay to upgrade from 1device to 4 my wife does it all the time on our plus package. We do longer cruises of 14-21 days so to pay an extra $20 per person per day would add quite a bit to our fare and we are fine with the drinks under the plus package
  13. If you have an actual full suite then you are in Reserve dining and reservations are not needed or even allowed Are you in a suite or a balcony cabin ?
  14. Again with the menus being available in the morning on the app and TV we never have had an issue with getting into Crown Grille or Sabatini’s that evening between 7:30 and 8:00
