Agree with that - even though we have received confirming emails from Princess recognizing a food allergy, it never seems to get communicated. We are comfortable in the dining room after we have informed head waiter, but the other casual eateries, we have to explain each time AND yes, the buffet is an issue especially when other passengers cross contaminate serving utensils by moving them around. Just be extra vigilant!

We love the Suites Only breakfast available each morning in one of the specialty dining restaurants. On Discovery it is in Sabattinis and on Majestic it is in Harmony. On the Emerald it might be in Crown Grill. The menu appears to be limited, but order whatever you would like and they will get it for you. Also, you will have a one time mini-bar set up of alcohol, waters and sodas. You can swap alcohol for alcohol and non-alcohol for non-alcohol. For instance, we always swap the alcohol for all vodka. You will also have bottled water provided daily. Enjoy!

My husband has been doing this for about a year now. Would be so nice if this could be an easy fix. Unfortunately we have 4 cruises in the next 15 months, so are reluctant to keep messing with it in case he gets locked out.

Went to Google Play and there is no option to UPDATE.

We are on Riviera Deck mud-aft and for this location our Muster Station has always been Crown Grill Bar, but the new app is also showing Crooners Bar for us. One more item to be resolved.
-
Same for me and I specifically looked at that item.

We are on Discovery in April. I booked Bistro Sur La Mer in early November, even though I knew it had changed to The Catch. My dining reservations are now showing the correct date and time for The Catch.

Confused about the 360 degree experience offered on the Discovery...
DiRonT replied to Shippy's topic in Princess Cruises
If you are in a full suite as opposed to mini-suite, then it is comped. Up until recently, you would receive a tel call from Princess asking which night and time you would like to attend. However, now that it is available to all passengers that are willing to pay, reservations can be made on the app under specialty dining. I tried to make a reservation but the app wanted to charge my credit card even though we are in a full suite. I asked my TA to call Princess and see what the current situation is and she was told that passengers in full suites will have a letter in the cabin upon boarding telling you your scheduled date and time and if that is not acceptable you can see the Concierge to make the changes. My concern is that the date and time we want may not be available by then. We will see. We have done it previously and LOVED it. -
Also been putting that on our survey at the end of every cruise. Seems like Princess is missing a bet, literally, as we spend almost no time in the casino anymore. Can't deal with the smoke!

Gulp. I just booked Experience 360. Is it worth it?
DiRonT replied to hllwdcruiser's topic in Princess Cruises
We were in a suite on Discovery so we were comped. We loved it and would definitely pay to do it again, but our next 3 cruises on Discovery will be in suites, so I am hopeful the current policy of comping suites will still be in effect. However, either way- we will attend. I am not much of a seafood fan and do not eat shellfish, but I promised myself I would at least taste whatever they served and am I glad I did because I loved the octopus. The steaks were just as we like them, medium-rare. My husband has food allergies and we provided this info when they originally offered us the invitation. Also, the day before our reservation the host of the 360 experience tracked us down ( we were in the Piazza having a drink) and confirmed the allergies, which we very much appreciated. I hope you enjoy your evening as much as we did. -
Rebooked Discovery October 12, 2024!
DiRonT replied to desertdwellingsailor's topic in Princess Cruises
We are also desert dwellers (low desert near Palm Springs) and we also love being able to drive to the port. We are booked on the cruise immediately following yours. Hope all goes well and you are able to cruise. This is our 3rd time on this itinerary, so ports are not that important to us. We enjoy ship/sailing time. -
If you don't make them in advance on the app, then you can call the dine line from your cabin or you can just go to the restaurant and check availability - even if the restaurant is not open there is usually someone there to take reservations. If you are in a full suite you can ask the Concierge to assist you.

LIVE! Discovery Princess - Mexican Riviera - November 11, 2023
DiRonT replied to cruiseypop's topic in Princess Cruises
It is inside Sabatini's. The group of 20 guests are walked through the restaurant to a private entrance into the special room used for the 360 Experience. I agree it is a wonderful experience. -
Thanks for this info, very helpful.
-
Please come back and let us know what happens tomorrow. That would be very helpful. Thanks
-
Exactly same for us. Surprised to see Print Luggage Tags but when I tried, the luggage tags that printed were for our Alaska cruise last August. Oh well, we will just wait and hope that Princess IT eventually fixes it.

We were on Discovery in August and it was open on disembarkation day also. -
Live From The Sapphire Princess October 15, 2023 R/T to Hawaii
DiRonT replied to Woobstr112G's topic in Princess Cruises
I won't pretend to speak for Bob, but we also cruise in suites and love Sabatinis breakfast. We always have wonderful service from very friendly yet professional staff. We always tip either last day or next to last day but we have noticed we may be in the majority. Very sad. -

Port of Los Angeles San Pedro Questions
DiRonT replied to diazwoman61's topic in West Coast Departures
I agree with lx200gps. Within the structures there are elevators, but to embark or disembark the ship the only access I am aware of are ramps that do a lot of "zig zags". It probably would be best to request assistance such as a wheelchair. -
Port of Los Angeles San Pedro Questions
DiRonT replied to diazwoman61's topic in West Coast Departures
Yes, they do have the PES Lounge, with coffee, juices and pastries. We prefer not to deal with the crowds however and so we wait until noon or so and then we can walk straight on, no waiting, no crowds. Everyone has their preferences though. Have Fun! -
We all do did the 28 day round trip from L.A. on the Sapphire. We LOVED it - but we love the "cruising" part of cruising. There were a number of passengers that were going a little stir crazy with 8 days straight sailing back to L.A.
