Crab shack was HORRIBLE. 2 wasted hours of my life I will never get back !!!!

Another option to consider: I too have Verizon and while on the Ruby TA and BI cruises April-June instead of using the phone on the ship, I used a computer to for texting. It's available through your online Verizon account and called Verizon Messages. I found it was easier to log in and out of the ship Wi-Fi service using a computer than the phone. (I screwed up on the 1st cruise, didn't log out correctly w/the phone and even though it was turned off, I blew through a whole big bunch of time.) If you aren't taking your own computer you can always use one in the Internet Café.

Thanks I will have to check into this !!!!

Thanks everyone for your responses. I will add the international texting and hope it works.

Thanks Pam.... What is the global messaging? I have verizon as my cell phone carrier.

Pam, one more question. If I use my phone for texting, does it stop the internet counter for my time by just turning off wi-fi? I know when using lap top u need to type in log out to stop the internet time counter.

Thanks again Pam!!!

The answer is, "Yes, but it depends." You will have to purchase an Internet plan to use the WiFi. If the other person is using an iPhone, you will text using iMessage and there's no cost. If not, then free or $.10 to receive, $.50 to send. Make sure you set up global messaging before leaving home.

 

WiFi is never guaranteed as it'll depend on where the ship is sailing, weather, etc.

Thanks Pam.... What is the global messaging? I have verizon as my cell phone carrier.

On an upcoming cruise I need to be able to at least if possible keep in touch with work by text messages. Don't need to talk. Is it possible to receive texts while at sea? I have an I phone. How do I set my phone so I only receive texts and not phone calls? I read something about texts costing .50 cents.

Thanks

No

What a waste. We got a bucket to split. There was 1 cluster of crab legs for each of us. Took 2 hours to get our order. Will never go back!!!!

We ate at the crab shack on the Royal in February. WORST meal I have ever had on a Princess Ship. Also, worst service I have ever had. Food was not good. It took 2 hours until we finally received our meal and it was not crowded at all...

You get one cruise credit for each cruise. You get two cruise credits if you book a suite or travel solo in a cabin.

 

You get three cruise credits if you are solo in a suite.

I assume it has to be a Full suite not a mini, is that correct??

I don't know where a lot of people get there information. I ALWAYS pay off my cruise well before final payment date. There have been at least 3 cruises that I know of that have had price reductions after I have made final payment and after the date final payment was due. I asked my travel agent to just have Princess give me my savings as on board credit. He said they had to credit it back to my credit card and they did....

My typo of $40 not $49 would have been better. Sorry about that! :o

We had no problem at all getting great bar service using the "Alcohol Sticker"! :)

For us it was worthwhile because we both drink. He more than I but it worked out on the positive side for us ... and, yes we would do it again. :)

Could it be used in the casino also???

Not so sure they are heated easily....

I think the 3 card bet is the best bet... I always bet more on that than the back bets...

Thank You !!!!

Does anyone know if you have to book a reservation for the crab shack or do you just show up and wait in line?

Thanks

Does anyone have any idea if the Let It Ride table on the Royal Princess has the $5 bonus for the three card that are in your hand??

Thanks

Great Review !!!!

We people dressed up at the crab shack on formal night or just wearing casual???

Thanks

Thanks I appreciate it !!!!

Will be going on the Royal in 3 weeks. Does anyone have a current wine list from either the Royal or any other Princess ship???

Thanks

My vote is FOR shorts !!!!!

Great review Jerry !!!!

Everyone always says that you won't get the reduction if you have made final payment. That is hogwash. I have received the reduction many times after I have made final payment. This is an od wives tale.

Looks pretty decent to me !!!! Some people are hard to please !!!!

I would cancel my cruise if I heard Bert Stratton was playing in Crooners....

Kind of sounds like the poster thinks that one side of the ships balconies allows smoking... They do not. Smoking is not allowed in any rooms or balconies now....
