    We have our fingers crossed for the same offer for a couple of cruises we have in our sights for next year,
  2. Essex Racer
    There are 3 lovely 6 tier sponge cakes available at IC which are included in plus and premier - one portion easily feeds 2 people
  3. Essex Racer
    We always have queen in a balcony and twin in an inside - perception is more space
  4. Essex Racer
    In September we went to Adagio on deck 16 most afternoons for a chill etc as in an inside cabin. Took drinks with us and invariably the only ones in there - lovely lounge area.
  5. Essex Racer
    We have booked table for 8 (4 cabins) in main dining rooms for our cruise in May.
  6. Essex Racer
    I think all we really have in the UK is £50 deposit the flights / OBC offer has been running for a while now
  7. Essex Racer
    Have been in B738 - lovely big balcony. Friends of ours was in the cabin the other-side if the void so when the dividers opened up we had a mega balcony across the back of the ship

    When onboard for New England cruise in September we spent lots of time in the Adagio bar on Sun deck, most afternoons felt like our own private lounge, then in the evenings always plenty of empty seats available.

    Same have recieved bid offers but not taken up - we book direct.

    Also be aware you may dock later than scheduled - Emerald didn’t dock until 7am a couple of weeks ago at the Brooklyn terminal

    We have a package always, so just swap the mini bottles for a mix of coke / diet coke / sprite cans, which we can then drink in the room when alcohol not required or take off with us on port days.

    We are just about to finish cruise on Emerald and have the original plus. It had worked fine for us, have not missed any of the additions, picking up the medallion at the port and ordering drinks in person was no hassle. I think they have missed a trick by making plus and premier too similar?

    We are the same it has been P&O for the majority of our cruises, but we now find Princess a better experience.
  14. Essex Racer
    With the tide one just hold the outer edging and twist it and it unlocks, pop in new medallion, align the circular front over the top of the medallion and twist in opposite direction

    Same here wife went straight in as Elite, me as nothing. Made some enquiries and was advised that they cannot change mine. Decided to leave as is or risk them removing wife's Elite status, which the majority of the perks I can benefit from anyway as being in the same cabin.

    NRD what is wrong with these, book a cruise at a price happy with, take a contract out, then just because you find it cheaper then expect Princess to give you the cheaper price at no cost - this is how it works in the UK

    Even the balcony size between 10512 and 19516 is a big difference. We were in 10602 - lovely size balcony
  18. Essex Racer
    Where do you ask for these in the app?
  19. Essex Racer
    Sun Princes looks like a different cabin configuration, hopefully comparing balcony sizes on the deck plan will help you choose!!
  20. Essex Racer
    Iona and Arvia have larger balconies here - had one on Iona and was great.
  21. Essex Racer
    I have booked CG & Sab’s already for March 24
  22. Essex Racer
    We were P&O all the way, sailed on Iona in July and not impressed. Having cruised Princess a couple of times now - P&O really need to have a hot itinerary to get us back but they are all same old routes so guess we wont be back!!
  23. Essex Racer
    Been tracking 3 cruises for a few months, putting the increased Plus fare aside, the BSE is the same for 2 and more for the 3rd.
  24. Essex Racer
    Think I will take a chance on the cabin and wait as we cannot refare when booking from the UK
  25. Essex Racer
    All 3 cruises I have been tracking are more currently!!!
