Of all the times! I have a cruise starting on Sunday and now the stupid app doesn't want to open 🤬

Buying water etc from onboard services prior to cruise
Scirocco Breeze replied to thornegirl's topic in Princess Cruises
I ordered water a couple of hours ago, no issues. Also a Southampton departure. -
Who knows, it could be true, it just doesn't feel true to me. But then I live in a country that is lied to by the press every damn day about the EU so 🤷
-
Hmmm, that does not ring true. Italy is in the EU, so would have to comply with EU safety regs, which are generally very high.
-
That's the one yes. I think I'm going to stay happy with the room we have booked.
-
They have premium ocean view apparently, with floor to ceiling windows...looks nice, I'd insert a screenshot if I knew how 😂 edit to add...deck 17

I'm sailing in an interior cabin on Sky next week. Yesterday I got a third email inviting me to bid for an upgraded room. On previous cruises I've been lucky to receive even 1 such email, so now I'm wondering if I'm going to be on a half empty ship 😂 Is this something that often happens, and I've just not seen it before? I'm also wondering whether to put in a very low ball bid now, because they keep tempting me 🤦♀️

Design a Princess ship: Let's have some fun
Scirocco Breeze replied to cr8tiv1's topic in Princess Cruises
Honestly, I don't mind lunch being a slower affair. My working day involves grabbing something in haste and eating on the run so when I'm on a cruise I am more then happy to take my time. I've not yet sailed on Sun so I can't say how much it slows things down, we need to find people who have and ask them. It seemed to work pretty well when I sailed on Sky immediately post covid though. -
Design a Princess ship: Let's have some fun
Scirocco Breeze replied to cr8tiv1's topic in Princess Cruises
I'd like an adults only Royal Class ship, definitely keep the International cafe in the piazza area. I love sitting with a coffee watching the world go by. I'd like to see an hour or so each evening given over to ballroom dancing. It's very pleasing watching ordinary people dancing or even just trying to dance such graceful dances. I need the ship to be no smoking anywhere. Full promenade deck with plenty of seating available. I would like the buffet to be like the Sun, not self service. And since this is a fantasy wishlist, I'd like to be able to get a lounger near the pool any time I want. And finally, on my fantasy ship, there is ZERO upselling! -
First solo cruise..first Princess cruise!!!

It will be brilliant! Well done on taking the leap xx -
Door Decoration banned on Regal Princess
Scirocco Breeze replied to Btimmer's topic in Princess Cruises
I've spent more time than can be considered reasonable for a responsible adult approaching the wrong door on cruises 🤦I've been turned around multiple times by our various cabin stewards. Door decorations would have been a brilliant idea 😂 Editing to add, because the conversation took quite a turn, I don't have any mental health or cognitive issues, just a lifelong poor sense of direction! My brother used to mock me for "never going directly anywhere, just circling it a few times before taking it by suprise" Sat nav is my favourite technology. -
Everybody is very tetchy today! We all need a lovely cruise ⛴️ 😘
-
Speaking as a European, I'm horrified by that! Ugh, that could be my deal breaker, I can't bear the smell of cigarette smoke. This seems like a very poor decision.
-
At this point it's unclear why anyone would want to 🤷

You choose your cabin- get unwanted upgrade
Scirocco Breeze replied to dog's topic in Princess Cruises
We got "upgraded" on Diamond last year. I caught it fairly quickly and called our TA...the upgrade placed us underneath a noisy venue. We weren't able to get our original carefully chosen room back but we got one close by. I dread to think how it would have gone if I'd not spent so much time checking details, it's not good that this is a normal thing Princess will do. Where is the care for their paying customers in all of this? -
My first ever Princess cruise was post COVID in 2021, and nothing was self service. It worked brilliantly, presumably a lot of extra staff were needed though. So as long as the staff numbers are high, I'm in favour of this.
-
What a lovely skill and hobby to have!
-
Yeah mine is wrong. It's showing Premier when I know I only purchased Plus, and nothing at all where I purchased Premier. I'm choosing to trust that it won't matter once I'm onboard.
-
Much better with this update but I'm not sure if I have a glitch. When I click on Packages, on both my upcoming cruises it shows me just the Premier details. I have Premier booked for one of them, but just Plus for the other, so I'm not sure what exactly the packages tab is telling me?

Premier In The UK---Less Than Advertised?
Scirocco Breeze replied to daveoc's topic in Princess Cruises
Same.... 🤔 Still got crappy premium desserts though 🙄 -
Can I buy a FCD for a person not currently on the cruise with me? I'm sailing with my daughter in a couple of months but would like to get FCD for myself and my partner ideally 🤔
-
It isn't working for me currently. I'm trying to make final payment, and it keeps telling me my session has expired and booting me out 🤷

A UK TA has £1 deposits today.
