If you can open the app, you will see a chat option along the bottom. I got an agent to fix my birthdate this way. The “isn’t your booking” may be related to the wrong birthdate. I think I encountered that as well.

Does Princess enforce 6 mos rule on passports?
BamaVol replied to fergorama's topic in Princess Cruises
It took my daughter’s family 3 weeks in December 2023. -
I’m sure it goes without saying that I’m leaving him enough US currency to make this an adventure instead of a burden.
-
I always come home with a little extra foreign currency. I put it aside in a drawer with a note to my grandson that upon my demise, he is to return it all to the country of origin.

20% discount Princess promo on excursions a bogus offer?
BamaVol replied to YWW's topic in Princess Cruises
Excursion prices seem to bounce around based on demand. I watched one increase by $10 before I booked it. A couple weeks later, it’s back to the earlier price point (no discount shown). Still “20 available “. I will cancel and rebook to save $20. -
Live from the 4/20/24 Enchanted Princess sailing
BamaVol replied to Host CJSKIDS's topic in Princess Cruises
Thanks for the “Live”. You did a nice job. I followed avidly in anticipation of our 6/15 Enchanted sailing. -
I did some last year on an Alaskan cruise. But I don’t think I could tell you if we were in US, Canadian or international waters. I met one poor lady there whose luggage didn’t make it to the ship. She was doing a wash every other day, and probably wearing her underwear inside out between laundry days.

Dine My Way & all new Dining questions since cruising restart!!
BamaVol replied to Host CJSKIDS's topic in Princess Cruises
I get it. But we were newbs. Incompatible tablemates sent us headlong into NCL Freestyle dining, which we found we preferred 1,000%. -
How are "PLUS" package purchases accounted for?
BamaVol replied to CenTexan's topic in Princess Cruises
Some is outrageous. We had a good relationship with all the bartenders. We pick a bar and patronize it every night of a cruise. I’m sure he’d have been warned about a $65 shot, though. -
If you wish, you should have the ability to cancel your order and start fresh, specifying port pick up. I did that, although in my case I went from port pick up to home delivery. If you do this, your medallions will be waiting for you at the port instead of needing to be made when you show up at the blue lane desk without them. Saves time, but I don’t know how much.

Farewell Princess - No Trust in Accommodating Dietary Needs
BamaVol replied to iankh's topic in Princess Cruises
I suppose it’s possible to bring a shaker or two of salt-free seasoning mix onboard. You shouldn’t have to, but it might make the difference between bland and tasty. -
Of course. It would be free for everyone if no one saw the value in paying for it.

How are "PLUS" package purchases accounted for?
BamaVol replied to CenTexan's topic in Princess Cruises
We tend to sit at the bar when drinking and every bartender has warned me “you know this is over your $15 per drink Plus limit, right?” If I ordered something that was even just $1 over. And the $1.18 always shows afterwards in my folio. Unfortunately, in Vines it’s always way more than $1. -

This is true. Only alcoholic beverages count toward the 15. -
is filtered water available on the Sapphire Princess
BamaVol replied to beachbuff9's topic in Princess Cruises
I believe the water available on the ship comes from reverse osmosis filters. It shouldn’t have anything in it but water. I drink it in the MDR and don’t taste anything. But a personal flask is just one more thing to pack or leave somewhere by mistake, so I usually go through 3-5 bottles of water a day from the nearest bars. -
A medallion is like Valium, only bigger and you don’t swallow it. Same effect.

BamaVol replied to Host CJSKIDS's topic in Princess Cruises
The aft MDRs are my favorites. I’ve found them less crowded and chaotic at opening time because they are slightly less accessible. I’m hoping they are reserved DMW. But it’s very possible they will not be. -
It is. Shipping is not.
-
Do you have the Plus or Premier package? If so, there should be no charge.
-
The app now shows us needing to order medallions. The website correctly shows that we have already ordered them.
-
I linked with my daughter’s booking number on the old app and reserved a table for all of us. On the new app I still have a table for six, but I thought I could see the names of my linked table mates on the old app and can no longer. Your post is a reminder to check with them that they still show a table for six at the correct time and location. I agree that the new app brought new problems.
-
It means you’ve paid for those things. It isn’t automatic. You will still need to select the holder and request delivery.

Does this cheese free pizza show up on the menu or do I have to ask for it?

Farewell Princess - No Trust in Accommodating Dietary Needs
BamaVol replied to iankh's topic in Princess Cruises
Maybe it’s a tool for ordering ingredients for the galley. Maybe it’s a trigger for staff training. Maybe, if no one advised them in advance, they could shut down the special galley. Who knows? It takes all of a minute to fill out. -

Same here. We were never fans of all aspects of traditional dining. We like having a reservation, and the same waitstaff is nice. But table sharing has been less than ideal in the past.
