On board credit for Military and Veterans! Princess offers an on board credit for members of the US and UK military and veterans. I am a US Navy retiree and my husband is a UK Army retiree so we both received onboard credit. I think they may also offer it to Canadian military as well, not sure about Australia and New Zeland. For US military they want a copy of your dd214. We booked a 14 day cruise and got a $250.00 dollar credit per veteran. Doubly nice the next cruise we booked we automatically got the on board credit.

Hi Gary. In terms of dress code, it has been my experience (15 Princess Cruises) that formal attire is not applicable in the buffet. I am not sure about the specialty restaurants as I avoid them on formal nights but is certainly applicable in the main dining rooms. I am not a jacket/tie/tux person when on vaca so I always head up to the buffet on formal nights in my shorts and a tee and it's perfectly fine.

Hi Gary - Thanks so much for sharing all of knowledge about cruising with us. With regard to Princess' excursions, I went to book a Pearl Harbor excursion on line prior to our February round trip from San Francisco. Sometime between November of last year and now, Princess has changed their excursion reservation process. Now, one must pay up front for excursions (as well as the spa) before a reservation can be made. We always have had some sort of on board credits that I would use to pay for these things - using the house money, so to speak. No way am I going to pay up front for these things. Thanks for letting me vent!

I’m surprised more people don’t point out the excellent photo packet on Princess. I paid $200 per cabin and Princess took many pictures each night and disembarkings, sail always, and many more like formal night. They supplies all 8x10s but also a thumbdrive of all digital pics. Love your vids. Love Princess. My favorite line.

When in August? I'm scheduled for Greece on Royal Caribbean porting out Labor Day weekend. Princess has set a high bar for me though, I have to admit starting with Princess was probably a mistake lol. Hopefully my next Carnival cruise over leap-year on Panorama is better than my last ship experience with them on Pride; Pride was most certainly NOT a ship to be proud of last December.

@@717dash_cam Labor Day weekend should have far less family groups. Just think when school is in session=less families. While there will always be children on any cruise(think homeschool and parents that pull kids for holiday time)the numbers are far less than say peak summertime. Even when I bring mine with me, I prefer the lower numbers as they don’t like being turned away at the kids camp because the numbers are filled for that time. 200 kids is say Sept while 800 or even more is July. You should have a lovely time with Royal in Greece on a September holiday. Royal does a fabulous job in the Med.

2022 and I just got back from the Discovery Princess trip to the Mexican Riviera. The dining has changed with the "Dine My Way" plan which does away with the set time and table. You make a reservations at the two main restaurants. Dress code even on Formal Night was simply long slacks/jeans and collared shirt. I wore a new pair of black jeans all week and on formal night I had a new white dress shirt and a tie. No jacket. As someone who doesn't drink alcohol or only occasional sodas (cold tea mostly) I wish they had one of the modern Coke Freestyle machines. Soda only available at a bar or by request to a server.

Hi Gary, I am on Sky Princess in September for one of the UK Seacations (oh how I can't wait!) just wanted to mention Princess Plus. This is a package that includes Premium Drinks, WiFi (for 1 device) and Gratuities. The cost has just been reduced to £30 per day here in UK. You have to select this at the time of booking but literally turns the cruise into an All Inclusive. I would normally really think hard about whether a drinks package is worth it depending on factors such as number of port days etc. but if you take off the gratuities of £11.50 per day that makes the package just £19.50. Even a moderate drinker would likely spend more than this per day (don't forget it includes soft drinks, speciality coffees etc too) so I would say choose this package when you book to make a saving!

I have weighed the option of owning shares in Carnival vs RCL and RCL is a much better-managed company and offers more upside potential for capital gains, better dividends and the bonus is the onboard credit. That said one needs to weigh the options out carefully before purchasing shares in any company, plus people need to familiarize themselves with purchasing shares in Public companies its not for everyone. I have mentioned this to my friend who has cruised a lot and his first reaction was I have never purchased shares in my life and am not comfortable with it, so it is not for everyone. Great Video Gary, just got back from my second cruise on HAL, I guess if I owned shared in Carnival I would have got at least $50 onboard credit for my 7-day cruise. 👌🏼

I personally contacted Princess Cruises directly by phone and talked to an agent and he explained the process to me, it is very explicit and you must give your Princess account number and other requirements, so it's not simply calling up Carnival corporation and faxing your proof of share ownership, there is a specific protocol you must follow and you will see the credit on your shipboard account.

Instead I just held it in until we disembarked and really let some people have it.

Hi, my wife and I joined a 23-day criuse on the Royal Princess Honolulu / Tahiti / Sydney. October 23. As Elite Member's. Honolulu, we joined a line of 400+ passengers and more checking in, which for us over an hour. Free Elite Member's free laundry now takes 4 days. Our dining request for a window table made before the cruise did not eventuate until I showed my preference. The one and only shore excursion in Papeete showed how selfish fellow passengers are. They did not wait in the Princess Theatre as instructed, like we did, but made straight to the bus. By the time we as well waited in Theatre, were religated to the back of the bus. Now, as Elite passengers, I would expect better treatment. We wait to see what happens in New Zealand. Our next cruise we return to Oceania Cruises. Russell Pryer

Just a side note about booking a cruise while on a cruise. One does not need to book an actual cruise, but just put down a deposit, $100 CAD or USD or GB£ , then within 2 years one can book a cruise and get that deposit appended to it, with no extra deposit required. This then gives one the shipboard credits on the new cruise, the amount from $15 to $150 per person depends on the length of cruise chosen.

They typically look for slacks and a buttoned shirt. Was just on one that had 2 formal nights... I got dressed up for the first one with a tie, but the second one I just wore my slacks and a button down shirt.

Gary: I don't know about you but, on any cruise i don't want to do any chores (laundry). If you're going to spend lots of money anyway pay for your laundry to be done for you. Preferably the day prior to your disembarkation. So you can arrive home with little to do.

Joseph, I agree. I paid for this on my last Princess cruise and I had 8 polo shirts and a pair of jeans laundered for $23. They were pressed and hung in my closet the next day. Worth it for the convenience and time saving.

The way to enjoy a princess cruise ships in Australia is wait till you turn 90 as you will be the youngest on the ship.

My 21 year old daughter and two friends the same age loved their week on the Royal Princess 2 months ago. Don’t perpetuate the myth that cruising is for old people.

I have a caffeine allergy, am I allowed to bring my own tea bags? I know it is a silly question, but this our first cruise so we are on a bit of steep learning curve

You can bring your own tea bags, but only to use in the various eating venues. Have a great trip!

May I ask, if it's not too personal, how many shares of Princess Cruise stock do you have or do you have to have?

The problem occurs when you hit a port. If you are on a cruise on a big ship, and hit a port, even if you can dock and not have to shuttle in on a lifeboat, the town is crowded as you are touring. The small ships which Princess is getting away from are much more pleasant. However they are not as profitable and that's all that Carnival ( the owners of Princess) care about. Carnival has ruined the experience of a Princess cruise.

I faxed the info of ownership of shares to a number, 3 times, spoke to people insisted fax to THAT number. The stock is almost worthless so I sold and reinvested. Not worth my time and headache. Do not be so bold to tell everyone you are the authority
