happy cruzin

YES - When we booked our Signature Suite in May 2023 we booked Plus, as recommended by our TA. Then, as the ship rolled out and started sailings we started looking at Premier. In April we received the “you've been upgraded to the sanctuary collection” notifications and thought for a minute that we had been upgraded to Premier. But no 🥺 That's when we decided to to Premier anyway and asked our TA to upgrade us. Now….there is a different Premier package being sold. It’s all so confusing and sadly I fully expect it to be a mess on board as the crew tries to manage who has what pagakahe and what they are entitled to receive.

All of our reservations for November 23-30 for Speciality - booked through Premier package - and Signature dining still show. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well…I suppose things could have changed since we sailed last November. But I really doubt it. Think about how many people on the 14 day itinerary - will be ticked off if they have to disembark to get the ship to a zero count and lose that as a “cruise day”. 😬 Besides the fact that any communication from Explora is usually mixed up and the phone reps are often wrong. Sadly, if you call them 10 times you’re likely get 10 different answers. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Not true!! Explora offers both 7 and 14 day itineraries all the time. 7 days is different that 14 days….IF you book it as the 14 day and not two 7’s. If you book it as two sevens, then you are correct, It’s two separate cruises and you would have to disembark and go through customs and re-embark. Please see my previous post. We were NOT required to go through customs when we sailed last year, because we were on the 14 day itinerary.

But that is because you did a B2B – two separate cruises. The OP state that they have booked a 14 day cruise so that process is not necessary.

We did a 14-day on Explora last November - with San Juan as the disembarkation day for those who only did 7 days. For us it was a regular cruise day. Not one that we had get off go through customs. They gave a special ticket to return to the ship without going throght embarkation.

We always use a 3rd party - Travel Insured, Allianz, Travel Guard, etc. Find it to be better coverage for the same or less money.

Let's hope!! 🤞🤞

Both....I hope!

We don't sail un November - so I'm hoping things are all settled by then!

Nope....not at all!

Sadly these postponements see to the happening to all the lines/new ships.

Wow.... none of those seem to provide the "signature suite experience" that I was expecting when we booked our Signature Suite over a year ago! 😔

Thanks!!

Thanks. But I was referring to the reference to some restaurants physically moving to different locations on the Sun Princess. Which now seems to have be unsubstantiated.
