I see something called Medallion accessory on the Premier package. Anyone use this? What is it and how do you get it?

I remember waiting for a long time when we sailed from Vancouver with HAL. What are your recommendations for Princess?

I joined several years ago, worth every penny in planning.

I had to call 3 times before I found someone who was able to help me, then it was easy peasy.

Thanks for the great review! We board her in early December for first time and have been wondering what to expect.

We usually allot $1,500 each for a 7 day cruise. Most times we lose about half of that or once in a while we break even or win a few hundred. We try to use it as entertainment and do not spend more than a few hours in the Casino. We have not received any meaningful Casino offers.

After cruising many other lines, we did our first Carnival cruise this June to Norway. I'll admit that I was apprehensive because of all of the negative things I had heard beforehand. I shouldn't have worried! We had the cruise of a lifetime! The other travelers were mostly fine and friendly except for a very few. What I noticed most was the casualness of the dressing. I am very much in favor of that, but also enjoy seeing some dressed up in their finest. It was great. There were about 5 people however who seemed to be in poverty by the look of their apparel. Not only was it shockingly old, but noticeably dirty as well. I could smell urine as they passed by--sooo disgusting.......One man in particular stood out--He had a white sleeveless tshirt (filthy) with farmer jeans (also filthy). Another woman (not with him, also had similar dressing pattern and smells. I am an RN, so it takes a lot to ruin my appetite, but they sure did spoil some of the ambiance for me. I debated whether or not I should say something, but my husband convinced me to let it go. We got up and moved to the other side. From that point on, I made sure we were not seated near them for the remainder of our trip and all went well. Yes, the food is not stellar, but there are certainly plenty of choices and you will not go hungry. We ate in the specialty rstaurant and at the Chef's table--Both were spectacular and very well executed. Carnival exceeded my expectations and I am booked on another cruise in December.

The desserts looked fabulous, but the taste did not match up. Make less, but make them taste better.

Wow! Those are some beautiful views! Good to hear your review! Thank you.

Thanks for your suggestions without being judgmental. I just completed updating my credit card inf. Seems like there might be a problem with my husband's account. We are calling Princess now.ormation

Yes, I tried booking through the app, but it said to check back later.... hmmmm?

Thank you very much! I appreciate your speedy response.

I am paid in full for my February cruise on the Sapphire. When will I be permitted to make dining reservations? I tried searching under specialty reservations, however, many responses were not for dining. LOL! Thanks in advance.

Looks like an Indian Chicken dish.

I received an offer from Winstar for Carnival cruises. Can I use my Winstar card when I play onboard to receive credits?

Thank you for posting on this board. I would have missed all this great information if you hadn't. I learned quite a bit.

Thank you very much--please post again after your trip.

Thank you. Are there any reasons why you would or would not sail in this room again?

Can someone who has sailed in one of these rooms please tell me why they are the last ones to be booked? Is therr a problem with being at the very front (Bow)? We usually prefer aft rooms, however on our next trip to Alaska---I noted these rooms are still available at a good price. I realize that the balconies are used only when in port, but what else is there to know?

Thanks! This is exactly what I am looking for.

What kind of drink is it? Do you get to choose, or is it pre-selected? Is it punch. Is it Mimosa? Is it beer? Is it tea?

What is in a fishbowl?

Yes, closed toe shoes are required on all ships for cooking classes and Chef's table, as you go into an area where health and safety regulations are in place. I purchased fold up ballet sleippers on Amazon and they come in really handy and take up little space.

Thank you everyone. I have no intention of drinking it onboard. I was interested because we have a land tour after our cruise and I thought it would be nice to have it in our hotel room.
