Cigars On Cruise

The wife and I cruise Princess quite a bit and they are still one of the better cruise lines out there. The food is good and one of the best things about cruising with one cruiseline all the time is the membership advantages. When we book a balcony room we get upgraded to a suite...we get free Internet and free laundry as well as free wine or a bottle of champagne when we board. We are Platinum members which also means more discounts on deals on the ship. The bigger and newer ships are really good and depending on what boat you are on we've probably been on it...let me know which one and I can tell you pros and cons about it.

In less than three weeks the wife and I take our first cruise as a Diamond member on RC. Took us a while to get that and can't wait.

RCL has been having issue with their Diamond Level service as they have downgraded in some of those areas. The Concierge Level is a nice thing to be able to use but for somebody who has given RCL a lot of business only to have it downgraded is not right. Call or go online to see what your Diamond status still gives you. This is why we stayed with Princess because of all of the freebies we get. Laundry for free is a great service because we don't have to pack so many clothes now and when it's dirty we send it out and it's back the next day. Free Internet is a great thing as well. We have been upgraded from an Ocean View to Mini Suite several times while everytime we have a balcony we're upgraded to Mini Suite. The great thing with being in a mini suite is that you can order in room service and get the exact same menu as the dining room. If you are in a room like an Ocean View or Balcony you don't get the same menu.
