I also have Sanctuary Class indicator- it means we get access to the sanctuary and private dining room. Since we booked before April 23/24 we do not get the premium package or get to use suite lounge unless we have a Full Suite.
So, my CFAR covers cancel for any reason- what is purchased through the cruiseline.
and
It covers trip interruption for other- independent air, hotels etc.
cleared that up- thanks.
True, eventually.
I will not be paying the Sanctuary Club fare in the future. Pushing the premium drink package with these high prices on these categories most likely will be short- lived.
So as a “lower class” passenger you’ll just have to put up with me on two cruises in the Sanctuary Club.
I welcome all.
My aft-D0 Sun is now $5788 higher with the Sanctuary benefits (I was to get when I booked).
and My S9 suite is now $3310 higher with crowded sanctuary & dining rooms plus a premium drink package.
My Star TA was cancelled by Princess and all cabins show no availability on Sky TA.
No, the Star TA was out of Southampton which I wanted. I took the option to wait and book something else.
I have a suite booked on the 5 day Star out of Ft Lauderdale in 2025. I’ll see.
Yes, my travel summary was updated April 23 rd to Sanctuary Collection Indicator. $0.
No lounge or premium package. D0 cabin.
So, I will get what was advertised when I booked.
My S9- stays the same.
I cancelled two a few months ago and deposits were returned right away.
I still have 1 booked on SUN & 1 booked on Star. Sure that will be it as the cabins I prefer are all in the Sanctuary category with premier package - we don’t want. and the D0 cabin is now priced at 9500+, so no more for me.
Exactly the point I made when I originally booked the D0-aft with advertising saying includes Signature benefits and upgrades.
Then months later am told “ sorry” an error.
Now the first D0-aft cruiers prior to Oct 14/24 on the SUN- are not eligible for these new Sanctuary perk.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
My guess is that the 2 private restaurants will become one, using the same kitchen, as they already do. With numerous Specialty & casual restaurants now included in premium packages the Sanctuary collection folks get, it may not be so crowded after all.
And my guess is the Sanctuary will be one- no longer separated.
Anyway, we will see…
If I cancel my booking for my D0-aft cabin, someone else can book it for a measley $9600 CAD today and receive 3 sanctuary collection perks.
I’m sure we won’t be booking anymore of these high- end cruises after this.
My S9 has no changes, no premium package.
