Caribbean Princess - Food is just so-so.

Regal Princess - Food is outstanding.

Of course this might not be all that important to your trip. 

And when the F&B Director or Executive  Chef changes, food taste also changes. And they will change. Five times on the CB, one cruise the food was horrible, the rest were great, every time on the Regal great.

One is a Royal class ship. One is a Grand class ship. Look on the princess site to see ship layouts. Everything else is subject to your likes, dislikes.

So how long should those in scum class, like first time cruisers like us, expect to wait in queues?

 

If Princess want us to book with them again, leaving us hanging around while they fawn over people they consider to be superior to us isn't the way to do it.

You probably need to find another kind of vacation, one that does not let you be in a closed environment (think ship) with other people.

Look on the ship plan page on Princess web site for the names and location.

crew bar ?

 

what does Princess cover for the crew, and what charges onboard does the crew have to pay ?

 

I have no clue how that works, obviously ...

Crew pays for  bar, internet at minimum, don't know about laundry.

If you ARE sick, why the heck are you trying to board anyway....

Plus

'In addition, all reasonable charges to your onboard account for this voyage will be cleared. You will not incur any other charges during the quarantine period.'

Sounds like a politician

Your TA has the ability to view all the OBC, gifts, promos, any benefits due you on the Princess Booking site.  Up to them if they wish to give you a print out of that info. If you booked a particular promotion, you will get it.

Cabin steward & bar personnel get to keep all extra tips. ALL food service personnel must turn in all extra tips to the fleetwide pool.

There’s also a passenger choir. You will have lots of opportunities to sing. The Ocean Voice competition is really wonderful. And OMG trivia is constant. There are usually voyage long trivia groups in addition to to the one offs. .   

Just off 14 days on the  Regal. No choir, no karaoke, trivia was not consistent, low of one trivia a day, high of 5. Consistently inconsistent.

Up to Entertainment Director.  May be 1 or 4 trivia's a day. May or may not be karaoke or choir  Ya never know. Every ship is different.

Be adult. Make up your own mind.

Terminal 2Port Everglades last Sunday, Regal, 2-2-20,   NO facial Recognition.

A B2B paid for, cancelled after final pay date for first cruise. All Dr statements sent to Anon, first cruise was for a large amount, second for a small amount. Second cruise fare refunded within a week, first amount they kept requesting more and more info until I reminded them second was paid, then prompt payment (every penny except insurance cost).

Well that’s interesting, we had no note in our cabin and saw nothing about it, granted we never tried to look for it.  Did we miss anything? Lol

Not a thing. We go for the shrimp which was on Wed I think

They didn’t even offer it on our Regal cruise we did last week. 

If you were on the 1-19 cruise, yes they did...Club 6. Or I was dreaming when we went there.

The Capt's circle guy on the Regal yesterday said only one should get it. He read it directly from his FAQ

 So you believe peanut allergy is “crap “ ?   
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/peanut-allergy/symptoms-causes/syc-20376175

Well, a peanut can cancel everybody's idea of a good time when just one person say's i'm allergic to a lonely peanut, so yes, it's crap. All suffer for just one. How bout I say I'm allergic to cotton, so then nobody can wear cotton...

To me, it sounds like it would start on the 21st Cruise. just sounds a bit odd that they would start loyalty credit on a random Cruise number. I can understand them saying you've completed 20 cruises, so from here on out here's a credit of OBC

It does start on #21, that is after you complete 20. Also, it is ONE per cabin, not per person if both in cabin have the required number of cruises. Just found this out yesterday.

Seems like the peanut allergy crap has gotten out of hand, so Princess does not leave the PB cookies out, so ya need to ask for them. By the way, the cookies and the sugarfree ice cream are the two items not made on the ships. The cookies are all pre-made off the ship. I never knew of or heard of a peanut allergy as a kid or young adult.

ANY extra tip to ANY dining staff member is turned in to the fleeetwide pool. Hotel staff and bar staff get to keep all tips to themselves.

Don't yell!!!

Upcoming will be our 4th B2B on a Medallion ship. One per  B2B so far. A nice magnet clippy thing is less than a dollar, or you could win on at trivia....

unless you lie and say you lost one.
