Sun Princess Chatter / Did you know that Princess Premier offers prix fixe meals?
« Last post by Host Mike on May 29, 2024, 07:13:35 AM »
"Debuting on Sun Princess from October 2024, Sanctuary Collection also comes loaded with ‘Princess Premier’ benefits, which include a Premier Beverage Package, unlimited Starlink and 5G for up to four devices, and two nights of speciality dining.  Reserved seating at the Princess Theatre is also on the list, as well as boutique fitness classes, ‘Green Lane’ express boarding, and unlimited prix fixe meals (multi-course meals usually attracting a fee) at casual restaurants."

"Typically, that means diners get three courses consisting of an appetizer, entrée, and dessert."

"No matter how sophisticated your menu management system is, sometimes offering less is more. That’s why a prix fixe menu can be so valuable to your business.

Perfect for large groups, parties, and a packed restaurant full of holiday diners, a prix fixe menu streamlines things for guests, servers, and the busy kitchen. It’s a sure-fire way to increase speed and efficiency at your restaurant during busy times – and it’s pretty easy to whip up."

"A major advantage of using a prix fixe menu is that you know the food cost per diner at each table. Instead of having to stock a wide range of ingredients that may or may not be used on a daily basis, you can order for a select number of dishes – save money on inventory!"

Princess News & General Princess Chatter / Princess interactive video has a "low bounce rate."
« Last post by Host Mike on May 29, 2024, 06:52:30 AM »
" Princess Cruises uses interactive video created by Kerv to give viewers a “deeper understanding” of features such as excursions, wellness experiences and more, according to Sheira Mahadeo, senior media director at PHD Media who works on the Princess Cruises account.

Traditional video marketing can create awareness, but interactive video increases engagement “across every stage of the funnel,” according to Mahadeo. While she couldn’t share specific statistics, she said the results of using interactive video have been positive.

“Princess Cruises has seen a high level of quality site traffic, low bounce rate, high new customer-to-site rates, more time spent on site and strong engagement rates, all key metrics for their business,” Mahadeo said."

Discovery Princess Chatter / Re: Best for foodies
« Last post by RichC on May 29, 2024, 03:51:43 AM »
" This unique offering allows cruisers to consume their very own fresh catch caught on a fishing excursion."

Is that something new? First I've heard of it.
If so, does it have to be on a Princess excursion only?

"Cruises from: Seattle (roundtrip)
Sailing dates: May through September 2024

Culinary connoisseurs can sail to Alaska aboard Discovery Princess, which is among the newest Princess ships to cruise Alaska this season, and the Seven-Day Inside Passage (with Glacier Bay National Park) is one for the books since it calls on Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and Victoria (British Columbia), along with scenic cruising through Glacier Bay National Park. Also, as part of the line’s “North to Alaska” programming, passengers can partake in unique culinary experiences, including Cook My Catch at the new specialty seafood restaurant, The Cach by Rudi. This unique offering allows cruisers to consume their very own fresh catch caught on a fishing excursion. Foodies can also partake in an onboard salmon cooking demonstration led by expert chefs, along with a four-course seafood feast at the Crab Shack, a lunch pop-up found in the World Fresh Marketplace."

Princess News & General Princess Chatter / Princess swaps to double decker buses in Juneau
« Last post by Host Mike on May 28, 2024, 11:34:34 AM »
"Benefits of converting from single-deck to double-deck buses are related to reducing the number of vehicles while maintaining carrying capacity — reducing congestion, emissions, fuel consumption and overall environmental footprint.

Also, the new fleet runs on 10% biodiesel."

The same argument could be made for the 'Elite lounge', pay to dine speciality restaurants, and Captains Circle cocktail gathering, or 'Spellbound' on the Sun Princess. All of these are somewhat throttled in regard to availability, but they don't deprive passengers of anything really.

It sure does and it's more apparent on the Sun Princess than ever before. They keep narrowing down the space for those lower class people with every ship build.
Being Elite these days doesn't mean that much any more.
It all boils down to $$$.
