    So glad you did the math on this! We just returned from a 7 day cruise with HAL and purchased the EarlyBooking Have it All. As it was our first cruise we weren’t sure how it would pan out for us. Apparently very well! If you choose a cocktail or wine over $15 you only pay the difference. We did find it somewhat relaxing to not worry about looking at $$$ all the time. While gratuities are included we did tip our wonderful cabin attendants extra.

      We are so happy that our video was helpful and loved hearing about your experience. We are looking forward to using the HAL early booking have it all.

    Can you book speciality restaurants onboard?

      Hi. Thank you for commenting. Yes you can book specialty restaurants onboard using your app or calling dining services from any ships phones. Many often sell out so booking early is a good idea good if you have a specific day or time. Happy cruising!

    Another detailed video! I love it! I just got off Discovery, and I had the Plus Package. It took me until the last day of the cruise to get into O'Malley's and that's because I went there at 4:30 and waited. My friend also had the Plus Package, and she wasn't able to get into O'Malley's or Ocean Terrace. I feel both of those areas are small and not enough room for the size of the ship. Even if they would offer lunch would help.

    What time does boarding start when sailing from Civitavecchia?

    • @ACruisingGoodTime
      @ACruisingGoodTime Месяц назад

      Hi. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. Boarding usually starts around noon but we have seen it as early as 11:30. Check your cruise boarding pass to be certain. Happy cruising!

    I had no idea premier and plus would be so close. Princess makes a great amaretto manhattan, and it comes in at $18 dollars. I was paying the additional $3 on the bill, but it looks like premier may be better for me! Thanks for the great breakdown!

      Thank you so much for your comment and supporting our channel! We are glad our video helped with your selection. I will have to try an amaretto Manhattan! I personally am a big fan of the mai tia and dirty banana. You raise and excellent point with the top shelf cocktails and the break even cost for Premier. If you are a top shelf cocktail drinker the break even point for premier is similar to the wine costs so 3 per day will break even for you. Additionally, if you are getting the Premier package, it will also provide economical opportunities to try more fun high end drinks like the salted watermelon margarita and top shelf liquors for cocktails or sipping. Happy Cruising!!!

    Booked two guests using one account. How can I find the other boarding pass? It shows only one, how about the other one for the companion? Thanks!

    • @ACruisingGoodTime
      @ACruisingGoodTime Месяц назад

      Hi. Thank you for your comment and watching our video! Although you can book two people at once for the cruise, each passenger will have their own boarding pass in their app. So the companion will need to download the app and log in to see the boarding pass (and to use while onboard ). We both have to use our phones for the boarding pass. (Lots of times Princess only uses the medallion instead of the boarding pass). Hope this helps. Happy Cruising!

    I always get the Premier package because I tend to like the more expensive wines and liquors. I usually have 5-6 drinks a day plus coffees. I may do a desert occasionally but rarely. I also do specialty dining almost every night. My math works out easily. I am also a solo traveler so Princes makes up for some on the increased rates to travel. I also tend to like the longer cruises (14+ days). Loved the analysis.

      Thank you so much for your comment. It sounds like your decision on whether to purchase Princess Premier is an easy one. We also like the more expensive wines. On our first post covid shutdown Princess cruises, we experienced a limited selection of finer wines by the glass as wines would be out of stock. Our experience is that Princess has improved the available selection of wines by the glass since then, and we love many of the options. It would be wonderful to know what your perspective on the wines Princess offers by the glass. Thanks again for your comment. Happy cruising!

      @@ACruisingGoodTime I recently got off the Discovery Princess and liked that they now have Caymus by the glass the Crown Grill and adjoining bar. I am on the Sun Princess in 3 weeks and hope this holds true on that ship as well. Wines by the glass can always be improved upon but Princess has gotten better in he last year.
