Thank you so much. You're info is very helpful. I think I will get that cabin for my next booking!

I'm wondering why it has a different color code/cabin category than the rest of the bank of cabins?? Is it a good location? Can anyone help with that info? Lynn

Has anyone had cabin D226 on Discovery Princess? Is it quite? Is the view obstructed by anything? The cabin next to it has extra berths and I'm wondering what the noise level is. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks. Lynn

Hey Hammer61 that is a pretty good deal. My daughter is cruising with me this cruise. I usually cruise solo. I'm going to see if she's interested in the Enclave. How far ahead of departure can you get the pass? Is there only a limited amount of passes? Thanks for the info- Lynn

My next cruise is in April 2014 so it's a ways off! I was going to go solo again as usual until my daughter said yes to going with me. So, I called my CVP to add her on with the Plus pkg for both of us. His VM said he was out on vacation and I could have someone else help me. Being excited I thought why not. So I got another person on the phone. This must have been outsourced to Phillipines. She was confusing and very hard to understand. She added 2 airport transfers after I told her we were driving to the port. She asked for final payment. I told her I was paying online later. She said you can't pay online anymore. I knew different. She constantly repeated herself and saying yea- ok. I finally got her off the phone feeling she probably made mistakes. I went into the booking and corrected what was wrong. Then I called again and left a detailed message for my CVP and asked him to check the booking and email a new confirmation. He returned 4 days ago and still hasn't returned my call or sent an email. I'm going to try for a new CVP and hopefully have better communication. Lynn

When I have a cruise booked I mutter to myself everyday... can we go now? Finally on day of departure I answer myself- YES! Today is sail away! Yea!!! 🤗

Yes, it's too bad the message function doesn't work. I've met some very nice people on here. And some that are just unhappy complainers! Can't please everyone. Lynn

I know professional names can't be given on here. It's so frustrating! I like my name too! Thanks!

I am also considering changing my CVP. There's a bit of a language barrier. If there's any way you can privately msg me the name of yours I'd appreciate it!! There is a lot of frustration among many people on these threads regarding possible outsourcing of the call center. I also had a bad experience with it recently. Lynn

Well, that's a wild story! I really wonder about the staff sometimes. I've had some idiots and other times I've had some very helpful ones that really know the cruise business. I guess it's a hit or miss.

I left a detailed message for my cruise planner. I'll see what his response is. Thank you all for your input.

That's what I was thinking. She definitely was not familiar with any of it. I'm platinum and have become very familiar with how bookings go. I should have waited for my regular planner, he's been there for years.

I called my cruise planner today to add my daughter on my cruise. He was out on vacation so I spoke to someone else. This girl was so hard to understand and repeated herself on everything she did. She was confusing to understand. I wanted to add my daughter and add the Plus pkg. Simple enough. She added my daughter and then asked about transfers. I told her we were driving to the port. She then said she would take my payment while I had her on the phone. I said we would make payments online. She said that is not possible anymore. Well, I knew that was wrong and I just wanted to get off the phone by this time. When I got off and looked at the email of the booking confirmation, I couldn't figure what a $65 charge was for a package. I went on the website travel summary for more detail. She added a transfer from ship to airport! Now I ask you, if I stated we were driving to the port, how would you figure we were going home! I removed the transfers and everything looks correct now. I just can't believe the incompetence of someone that is a planner and supposed to be knowledgeable and helpful. I felt exhausted after talking to her!! Anyone else have negative experiences?

I must have a dozen clear luggage tags with the attaching loop from AAA from my travels. I cover my printed luggage tag with packing tape and insert it inside. Keeps ink from smudging off inside. Switch the insets out as needed. Have tags must travel...

Thanks for all the info on your experiences. I may check it out on boarding day. Just not sure how often I'd use it to make it worth the money. My cabin is a balcony right at the adult only retreat pool area on sun deck. I'm excited about that and one deck up has lots of great open deck area. And the Retreat pool has a bar!!! I'm excited!!
