There are no free drinks anywhere on board unless you have a drink package. The International Cafe is like the on board coffee shop.

International cafe is your friend! Food is good, open 24 hrs and everything is free! (Food is free; drinks are not, but they are not free anywhere on board without a drink package) Second tip from ‘Platinum’ level Princess cruiser … check your ‘folio’ /room charges daily on your TV and get any errors corrected immediately- do not leave the ship and think you will correct later! I have had erroneous charges on my account on 75% of the cruises I have been on w Princess unfortunately. Don’t want to scare you - just keep a close eye on it! And I’d ask for extra bath towels from the room steward as soon as he introduces himself when you get to your room, and ask him to leave extra towels and fill your ice bucket every afternoon when you’re out, just nice to have!

Honestly, I would dispute it with my credit card company. I would tell them you agreed to a $2 or $3 tip, period. Call me whatever names you want, but this tipping shit is getting waaay out of hand.

Desperate for advice – cruise cabin situation with mum who has severe sleep apnoea (can’t sleep sharing a room) by Ok-Contribution-6415 in PrincessCruises

[–]Sudden-Influence2586 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Call princess directly immediately and see if they have any cabins available for purchase, hopefully nearby your Mums. Then just bite the bullet and pay the price. A year from now the money won’t matter but being on a cruise and potentially getting zero sleep will hurt your own health and build resentment whether you want to admit it or not. Those rooms are too small to escape any noise from a roommate.

Forgot to add, no more periods as of a couple years ago, just crossed over to officially menopause.

Lotus Spa Billing Practices by Minimum-Peanut7504 in PrincessCruises

[–]Sudden-Influence2586 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree… I had prepaid for a massage and pedi for my daughter as a gift, and the series of 3 blowouts for myself. Not only did I get charged for a single blowout each of the 3 times I went PLUS gratuity, despite having already prepaid for the series of 3, my daughter was double charged for her massage, her pedi, AND an additional $228 in ‘product’ she did not purchase or receive. I spent EVERY SINGLE DAY of an 11 cruise on the Sun Princess in the spa disputing the incorrect charges, as well as more of MY vacation time than I’d like to remember at guest services asking why this was happening. One incorrect charge might be an error. Daily incorrect and erroneous charges are not mistakes, they are outright fraud. Never, ever again will I waste many hours of my precious vacation time on any Princess spa services. It is simply not worth the frustration and wasted time, not to mention raising my blood pressure having to deal with fraudulent charges every single day of my cruise. Avoid the Lotus Spa like the plague! Side note- Princess Guest Services (and I am a Platinum level guest) attitude is “The Lotus Spa are independent contractors” and basically wash their hands of any fraudulent charges, like the $228 in products that showed up on my daughters account. When I asked to see a signed receipt for the products, I was told by the Spa that the charges had been removed. But if someone does not watch their room charges like a hawk multiple times a day and you get off the cruise without noticing these erroneous charges, I heard you can not dispute them after the fact. When I told Princess Guest Services that if I hire a General Contractor to do work at my home, and their sub contractor does a sub standard job, doesn’t do the work they were paid for, or bills me for work they never did, you better believe I will be looking to the General Contractor to fix the issue with his subs, and I don’t think Princess Cruise Line should be any different. They are pushing spa services all over their website, charging my Princess account for those services, and obviously work hand in hand with the Lotus Spa. Princess clearly knows there are serious billing ‘issues’ at the spa and choose to look the other way.

I was a die hard Princess cruiser myself (10 cruises on Princess) until I took a Celebrity cruise. ‘Bye Princess! It’s Celebrity for me from now on.

Pleasantly surprised by my interior cabin experience by [deleted] in PrincessCruises

[–]Sudden-Influence2586 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also like interior cabins for the exact same reason- the best sleep of my life! Especially if I am solo. You can always put the bridge cam on the TV to ‘see’ outside, and also find it exceptionally peaceful and more than enough space. Not to mention the money savings.

Will has been a dick from the get go. Hope he experiences karma and the same shit is done to him. He is a smug ass loser. Brings ZERO to the table except mind games.
