  1. Any info on: HOTEL PRINCIPADO? Looks like its close to the terminal.
  2. @Cruise Raider FWIW I agree 100%. Wish I had known about this before booking but not much I can do about it now
  3. Booked 2 this morning & no OBC. Well outside of FCDs. Will need that shareholder OBC but they know I'll repeat without any promo code
  4. There was last November. See posts 165 & 171
  5. So it's like a loan .... maybe check your FICO to see if it shows up??
  6. Actually I am getting 250 obc on all of my future cruises that I can use however I want (onboard or not-to-be-stated) meaning that at the very least I, a standard fare cruiser, can disembark without a bill and recently with $s. So I've gotten $1100 and getting $750 so far for a total of $1850 on an investment of $650. I consider that pretty sweet!! Adding: that's since October 2022. So 18 months??
  7. @Thrak thinking of it. Thats why I haven't booked anything for the summer. Its more like one of these but with a 7 lb (his) & 20 lb (mine) dogs
  8. Best stock 'dividend'??? The stock does not currently pay a dividend. It previously (several years ago) paid $ .25 per share. That's why dividend was in quotes 😅🤣😂 I got $1100 obc for owning shares that I bought for 650 with at least another 500 this year.
  9. One of our dog friends is doing just that ... Driving from SF Bay Area up to Canada thru to Alaska and explore in a converted minivan. I'd go but not great at car camping. Will still be a summer to remember / bucket list trip
  10. My upcoming cruise is sold as a 2 day + 19 day but I booked as a 21 day. Do I get 1 or 2 minibars??
  11. Best stock 'dividend' out there! Bought at 6.50 in 10/2022, have received 1100 so far, getting 250 in 11 days, and another 250 this fall. All tax free!! Of course, the incentive to continue with CC lines has worked for them but it also works for me 🤑 Someone said they shortened the timelines for applying for it. Used to be whenever but now it's must cruise within 3 months???
  12. Yes Future Cruise Compensation (FCC) is my money but it doesn't have OBC. Future Cruise DEPOSIT (FCD) is also my money and it comes with OBC. If the cruise has extended (overnight) stays in a port that has expensive excursions I've gotten a lot more OBC (Lima for instance had an overnight stay, $2000~ overnight excursion to Manchu Picchu, voyage had a very large amount of extra OBC but I didn't have to go to Manchu Picchu to get the OBC.) forget exact amt but it was $××××
  13. I always have at least 400+. That's 150 from FCD and 250 from shares. Add in a Specialty Dining voucher on my next cruise. But it's been a few years since a CVP had obc to gift out. My previous one retired 12/31/22 and that was the end of that.
  14. Yep. 1000% Some places are just better off as land based trips.
  15. Do you have insurance in case its lost or delayed? Mine gives $500 to cover until bags catch up. Frankly if I can find a Marks & Spencer i can probably replace clothes & wine for $500
  16. I have a fairly large suitcase (22", 23" with wheels) and it easily fits through the scanner. I carry it on, slide it under the bed immediately after boarding, and head down to MDR for lunch. That size is carrying 24 days clothes, 8 books, and 2 bottles wine in 10 days
  17. Welcome to Cruise Critic @Polopup it is unfortunate that you were disappointed in the lodgings and time to get from point A to point B I read the thread to see if anyone pointed this out: Alaska is 663,300 square miles of rugged terrain and primarily rustic lodging (personal opinion based on past experiences). 19 lower states could fit into it. Since you're from California a comparison that might put it into focus: Alaska is "4.3 times wider (east to west) and 2.1 times taller (north to south) than California." Yeah, not only would it be reasonable to take time to get around but there's a whole bunch of the state that isn't hugging the coast. Frankly, I prefer land-based only trips there for that reason
  18. @1965 can you use the search function on your banking app to find the actual dates & amounts paid to Princess in the last year? I find that that is a lot easier than 'guessing' the amount Mine are all onboard charges so within days after a cruise, cruise payoffs (would be in ××××), and FCDs (100 per). Everything else is odd ball stuff -- like your wifi
  19. @DougH I ran this up on Google maps. Looks like a very short walk. Just 300m which I will easily do next month
  20. @Familycruzer11 and a long way from a slab of tofu!! I pre-order to omit pepper, low sodium, vegetarian (but vegan works). If there isn't anything I like I just ask my assigned HW to surprise me and I've never been disappointed
  21. Is there a UK number? 🤷‍♀️
  22. Their phone number is 1-800-901-1172
  23. My medallion still vascillates between "in proces" with the current date and "ordered" with ordered date of October 7, 2022. Others on the roll call have been notified that theirs shipped & verified that with USPS. Is mine stuck because it was free shipping? (Standard cruiser) Has anyone else experienced this?
  24. Yes, daily gratuities included (room, dining, drinks, all items in the package). I believe that spa and hairdresser / barber gratuities are not included
  25. Ok. On the Sun Princess thread someone posted the current OceanNow menu. Here it is:
