  1. I was there Sunday and half the spaces were vacant. So sad. Even the food court was affected Just needed to get A17 dressy pants & button down shirt for homecoming, thankfully Urban Outfitters & Macy's is just up Powell St. But I suggest tourists skip Westfield
  2. Check out Japan Town & I personally recommend Hinodeya Japantown for creamy vegan ramen (S has it with added shrimp) or Cinderella Bakery & Cafe for typical Russian food. Better food than Fishermans Wharf
  3. @ldtr no reason, just crickets. Usually they respond. @Cruise Raider thanks. Will adjust reminder to go to Take 5 for a sign as it where it is @PacnGoNow yeah .... closing roll call spreadsheet tomorrow as i always close when it's within 30 days
  4. Looking for any suggestions to an issue I have. I am the organizer for a Meet & Greet that grouponboardservices@princesscruises.com set up in a room with a maximum capacity of 100. I notified them that we have 163 signed up a month ago, again last week, and I cannot get a new room. 1st leg starts in under 4 weeks, 2nd leg in under 6 weeks, but being a TA ppl have already started over to Europe. WWYD?
  5. JMHO if only crappy rooms are available and I really wanted the cruise I'd book a guaranteed room in a better category. That way I'd get at least that level but probably better (ie: midship mid level). And be prepared to up bid Ok. Really REALLY disagree. Room changes happen all the time unless you mark it NO UPGRADE and even then they happen. Always to what Princess deems more desirable (I book what I want & mark NO UPGRADE still have to make sure I'm not shifted). And with the ability to bid up for a more desirable category there are more not less shifts
  6. I am boarding 11/23/23 but my last trip was a b2b (here's why that's relevant). For the 1st time ever I was pulled out of boarding for the wine table as I was boarding with 3 bottles of wine. From now on my mantra is "I'm on a b2b." No corkage Also no one was interested in my single bottle of wine coming back from interim ports in Europe last year. Just starting with 2 bottles this time but, hey, there's always Livorno ๐Ÿพ
  7. It was a sports bar during March Madness and very well attended. Had beer, bar snacks .... remember popcorn. Yknow. Stuff to eat watching bb. Hope it's the same in Nov / Dec. Would be a good place to see the football games. (USA style / not FIFA)
  8. Got an updated booking confirmation this morning (Sunday) letting me know that it was applied.
  9. Emerald Princess is an older ship too but it had a rotating 18 vegan menus. I order vegan, no pepper, no added sodium, cheese or sour cream on the side. Sometimes confuses the assigned HW but eventually he realizes I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian with allergies & diet controlled high BP
  10. Minor correction: dividend suspended 3/2020. Don't see it returning any time soon
  11. I have cruised Panama Canal since 12/8/22 but I also didn't need anything. The MD may have what he personally recommends for her based on her medical condition but Princess is the best resource for what is needed to cruise.
  12. No response to fax so sending email now. Adding: 1 minute to get auto acknowledgement. So at least it's in the queue
  13. The world may end before then. I'm a glass 1/2 full person. Correction (aka recession) will be short lived, the world won't end, and I'll see some of you onboard!!
  14. Hope they keep the vegan onion soup from current vegan menus. (See current thread with posted menus)
  15. @azbirdmom hope you are right bc insurance and taxes went up on their respective lines too.
  16. I'm just getting $60...๐Ÿค” Not me --- not going to put them all in, just 1. Insurance and taxes will also go up but that's reflected on a different line. You can check my math but I'm pretty sure $915.40 รท 14 days = $65.40 a day
  17. All 5 of my future cruises state Plus โž• is $60 a day but when I select to get a price it flips to $65 a day. So it's coming (but I'm not biting / just fine paying a la carte,)
  18. And that's why I don't pick Canada Air. But I can't get a seat on my Lufthansa either (flights only and hour so no biggee) That's what I experienced with Delta so I was really frustrated. And, at the time, I could see the 9:30 Delta flight to Rome connection in JFK 1hr50m after arrival. But the flight no longer existed (changed to 11:55). EZAIR wanted me on a 7:30 flight but I'd get to the airport at 6:20. Thanks i pick my own flights
  19. SFO -> Munich $205 to go from economy to PE aisle seat on the United app. Cheaper than booking PE. (flight's in 50 days)
  20. Umm umm this is a very unpopular opinion but it is mine. LA <-> Hawaii was the only cruise where I was bored on sea days. Not a fan of minimalistic crafts unless I wanted to pay $20 per session. Music was redundant and lack imagination. Nope. Found an itinerary i won't repeat (But I loved the individual ports esp Lahaina) Emerald Princess B2B 5/27/23-6/1/23-6/17/2023. Hate to say Cabo was the highlight (5/27/23-6/1/23)
  21. I've been frustrated with EZAIR recently as well BUT it was Delta that misled me despite assuring me the 3rd party consolidator (EZAIR) was at fault. Nevertheless my CVP & EZAIR fixed it. (Delta 9:30 flight no longer exists, Delta tried to rebook me to 11:15 but that would land 1 hr after the connecting flight to Rome left). I'm now on United and requested United put me on their upgrade list. A little different than having a Premium Economy ticket and wanting a Business ticket. But the same finger pointing @Sweet Jie if you have status on AA I also suggest that you try going to their website & put yourself on their upgrade list
  22. Once again the thread has gone off topic. OP is asking about well behaved minors in the lounge not AT the bar where one orders a drink if one cannot find a server. Seriously I do not understand the uproar
  23. @BamaVol i know on Carnival I can limit them to $50 max but no idea about Princess. I never object to them spending more & they always had the beverage package but honestly they don't NEED more than a few t-shirts or a stuffy. I feel the need to add this: I am not at all concerned about a well behaved child listen to music in a lounge. I'm more distracted by loud mouth adults talking over musicians because they cannot find a seat elsewhere. Princess has a night time chair issue in some locations. Not entirely the patrons' problem Some kids (A** is a 9yo) are quite familiar with behavior expectations at opera, Philharmonic, etc and behave the same onboard. If yours know how to listen to music @BamaVol PLEASE continue to expand their horizons!! If they aren't sure, thank you for helping them learn
  24. My grandkids have only been restricted from the casino.
