Just so people know the concierge lounge only exists on Royal class ships. We usually sail on grand class we don’t get that. However we really only used it to get res in the morning or get help with specialty restaurants reservations

Masks are really rare these days. We just visited a friend in the ICU today and half of the doctors and nurses are not even masked. On a cruise I find my most frequent use of a mask is when I want to play a slot machine on the smoking side of the casino

You and I are on different schedules. On a cruise we will have our first drink around 11am and last at like 1:30 in the morning. We average 8-12 drinks on an average day. Evan on a pot day we ate normally eating lunch in port and have a few beers

So you don’t drink wine on restaurants ? Value is different at home and in a food venue

The packages are really not made for cruisers like you. The only free casual dining you will not get free anymore is the pizzeria and unless you will be using room service or ordering through the app there is really no reason I can see for you to get a package the dollar amounts really don’t add up

Likewise. We seem to be the same type of cruisers

Some of those offerings really have no meaning for most. If you were to actually eat 2 of those desserts per day you would need to see a surgeon after your cruise. We take the Plus for the basics which have always been there. We don’t usually cruise on ships with a pizzeria, we don’t use room service or order through the app, don’t buy photos or go to production shows. We find it works just fine for our 8-10 drinks a day plus grats and Wi-Fi

No if you are quarantined by the medical staff you will get a letter telling you how much FCC you will be getting and it takes a month or 2 to show up in your account

I have been very satisfied with the bourbons available under the plus package I get Woodford reserve or Buffalo Trace for my Manhattans is just file and my wife is happy with Grey Goose vodka. We do not consider them basic brands and the all fall within the plus package

Are you planning on posting this to every thread ? Seems like overkill

Yes but I believe you travel with plus so you can go 4 times and have 4 pizzas right without paying ? Just don’t have the other stuff

we buy no photos anymore and get 1 specialty dinner on embarkation from sailing in a suite and might buy one. Once I saw the “desserts “ I resolved never to eat one. I will stick with Plus

Of course not. The only sit down casual dining venue that is going to incur a price which it did not have before are the pizza restaurants Alfredo’s and Gigi’s. MDR Buffet IC and Lido burgers and pizza slices are still free. All the venues like Salty Dog Gastropub Sushi restaurant etc already had a charge of some kind

I have only been on that ship once and I recall there being a pizz station in the Marketplace This was right after the restart. We mostly cruise on Grand class ships just don’t like the noise level on the Royal class ships

I have been on 52 Princess cruises and cannot recall a ship that I was not able to get a slice of pizza on

Always look for fare drops you can sometimes get deals if you don’t mind changing locations

Another reason I just walk up to a bar and order. That way I get what I want

Seems like a lot of trouble for no reason unless you are afraid they will lose them

Sometimes the doors are closed until rooms are ready

If memory serves the Southampton terminal is all on one level

Once you’ve had Plus you can never go back. Kind of like full suites

On our b2b out of Seattle in June we didn’t have to do anything. We got a note in our stateroom that we could get off or not whichever we wanted to do

Number 3. No one is forcing you to call room service or order through the app. Just get on your feet and go get food and drink.

The poster already stated that they have a plus package so drinks are already taken care of
