Princess Chatter

That idea may have sounded good on paper but how naive do they believe people to be? They'll never let their ships sail 2/3 filled when give the opportunity to reduce prices.

Yea, that was a rough one for sure.
Years ago (before 9-11) I forgot our passports & had to go home for them while my wife waited at the terminal. I arrived back to the ship 5 minutes before they shut the doors. They shut the door as we stepped in.
Funny thing is they let us aboard.
I guess those days are gone forever.

Another money maker.

It looks similar to that of RCI. At least in the bow.

"Additionally, Princess Cruises has added a new, one-time activation fee of $14.99 for OceanNow on-demand food and drinks delivery to your location on the ship, no matter where you are. The fee will be waived for passengers who book either of the all-inclusive packages."

But will the $14.99 charge be waved if I had booked with last year with the old Plus price?

Remove all those formal clothes & shoes (no longer a requirement) & half of the casual clothing.
Do a load of laundry or send it it and it'll leave plenty of room in your suitcase.

"Most mainstream cruise lines — including Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Princess Cruises and Holland America Line — no longer allow it."
Thankfully Princess doesn't allow it. Considering the age of the people we cruise with, their doing me a favor.
