Sun Princess Chatter / Re: Curtain call with ugly yellow light panels

Wow. That Pizza is a spartan example of minimalism.
The yellow does not evoke feelings of sunshine... it just plain screams unfinished. Is THIS where Princess is going with design?

Cruising Tips Chatter / Re: 5 Reasons to Prepay Your Cruise Tips; One Reason You Shouldn’t
« on: February 12, 2024, 09:56:00 PM »
The number one reason I don't prepay gratuities is that Princess offers zero financial incentive to do so. This merely amounts to an advance payment transfer, which in large volumes, works well for Carnival Corp.

There's another "special" cruise we won't be on.  ;D ;)

Ditto, although we did go on a 'Survivor' themed cruise in 2004. That one was entertaining. But this Love Boat themed cruise has missed its window, so to speak.

Just what is the desired outcome of this hiring? Going to have to sell a few more  Plus and Premiere upgrades.

Like Princess actually had a choice in making the change.  ;D ;D ;)
The very same people who would be.livid with Princess if they sailed into the region. The actions of Princess with this decision is prudent and obvious. The cruise passage contract allows these alterations.

What kind of OBC Rich? Was it lucrative enough to accept?

Princess News & General Princess Chatter / Move over offers
« on: February 08, 2024, 08:32:30 PM »
Reading 'elsewhere' about someone who received a 'move over' offer of cash, to change from their assigned cabin (a mini suite in this instance), to a another cabin. Has anyone else ever heard of or experienced something like this?

Not really sure what impact this will have. Maybe they consider activities on the 'island' as taxable.  :-\

True enough. Medallion loss on the ship is a real risk and potential liability. But it's likely here to stay.⁵

Radiqal Gaming LLC accessing CC info?
Shoreside vendors potentially paying 17.99 percentage of
sales as fees? I'm not a fan.

Emerald Princess Chatter / Re: Emerald Priness Sailing Season: November 15 to March 6

Definitely will be looking at newer ships for future sailings. Getting long in the tooth, so to speak with the Grand class. Nice, but time for a change I think.
An enhanced and expanded offering at the buffet will be one thing to look forward to.
