They get the old fashioned cruise card. The medallion is considered a choking hazard for toddlers which is why they do not get one.

As they will be in the room with an adult it is unlikely that they will be roaming the ship alone but the cruise card will open the room and can be scanned by security when leaving the ship etc. (though the last toddler I saw they just scanned the parent and glanced at the cruise card)

Why is it targeted at Australian members? 

Sounds like racial profiling, that should be enough to get rid of it.....

It's funny I get these emails too but I don't get my calls returned.......

Several months ago I made dinner bookings for our January 2025 cruise on Sapphire Princess. Since then we’ve cancelled and rebooked the cruise at a lower price. I now need to rebook our dinners as we have a new booking number, but the app won’t let me. I’ve tried different dining rooms and specialty dining to no avail. 

Does anyone know what this error message might mean? Thank you.

We have had that error since the new app launched. Haven't been able to book a specialty restaurant booking since, so helpful this new app idea. About as helpful as our CVP who won't return phone calls....

We travel with our son so having 3 in the suite we tend to send laundry out daily to keep the bag small. Never had a problem with the frequency or amount that we send and always back the same day.

Wonder what they use on the popcorn?

My wish is to stop talking about children in bars. 🤣

I wish Princess would make it public that any passenger may sit on a bar stool regardless of age or gender............ Also if they could wrap tips into fares so we no longer have to hear silly arguments about why everyone has to tip every person under the sun that would be great too 😉

It was complimentary in January when we last cruised

Or they can be requested on board via the app

Thank you for taking this on and enjoy your cruise!

We saw a couple guests getting fines in New Zealand,when there were multiple warnings, PA system,patters and signs. And no, not a warning, fines. 

The warning in NZ is the PA notices, signs and the Patter. Ignore them and you get the fine 🤷‍♂️

Congrats, enjoy the cruise 🙂

Unfortunately I think I need to correct the sentence highlighted in red above to used to be complimentary.

😡

Yes, I think this is the way of the future for Princess. Anyway to find a means to wring another $ from a passenger will be found and exploited where possible.

Kids are often the third or fourth passenger in a cabin which come at a reduced rate and don’t necessarily include the same amenities such as with the packages.

So are adults (I would hazard a guess more often than kids are from the cruises we have been on) and while they are happy to pay for the packages are they going to be happy to shell out an additional $99 per day for the sanctuary as well??

If a child doesn't get to use this perk and an adult does on the same fare then why are they paying the same price?

A follow up in that thread said that kids will NOT be allowed but I will check

Still paying full price for the passenger who cannot access all the perks they have paid for then though haven't they?

Does it show blue when you go to the profile page?

Yep, I have a little white medallion with a blue logo. Looks so cute 😀

Website isn't the same though, just the app

Don't.

That would have been my suggestion but that didn't answer Ned's question 🤷‍♂️

I, personally am not a fan of the merrycan tipping culture

My question is a little bit left field, we usually travel with others who would normally choose CC mini's so I guess the question would be can the Signature class guests join those in the Reserve Dining room on the Sun?

Good news. I just opened the new app again and all of our voyages now show in my profile. 

Lol and back to Blue I go 🤣

New app, first time cruiser again

AUD is fine or you can use USD if you feel like it but as you are from here probably stick with your home currency it is easier.

I do wish that Princess would stock Laphroaig and Isle of Jura.  Both are heavily peated and smoked scotch Whiskey.  

On the Grand I did find they did had Laphroaig though only a single bottle tucked away in the Explorer's Bar. There were a couple of other whisky's to be had that were not on Ocean so checking out the bars is your best option but if you are looking for peated don't hold your breath....

I'm not a Princess veteran by any means but the "Indulgences" extra charge items on the lunch menu seem new.

Yes it is new, we had no issues having Lobster Benedict for breakfast on our cruise in January if we asked in advance and it certainly wasn't an upcharge item......

They are always looking for ways to wring another dollar from passengers it seems.

Hmmm. thanks, but who picks it up?

🤷‍♂️Dunno, we send the message and it magically disappears. I am guessing the same person who comes to collect trays/dishes as it is in the same category?

Suite laundry:  In by 9 AM returned after dinner same day (express).

 

It is safer to leave your laundry bag on the bed before you head for dinner. 

 

On occasions, my steward had not picked up the bag in my room/by my door, and deliver to laundry before 9 AM if I left it out the same day.

There is an option now on the app to notify that you have laundry ready to be picked up that you can use rather than waiting for your steward to collect during their rounds. Similar to room service.

After touring some of the crew areas I am pretty sure the crew don't like ducks 😉
