Ombud

Anyone try the customer support contact form?

They provide entertainment during dinner I guess but I walked out without getting anything and walked down to IC for a sandwich & cookie.

I'm getting on the Emerald Princess Saturday and hope for a better result. @lion1956 question about the food court:: are they still loading up their plates as if they are grocery shopping? I noticed that on my last coastal cruise. I mean there's plenty of food .... can anyone really eat that much? It's very off-putting. And yes, I only went to the buffet once so maybe that was just a 1 off thing but it put me off

There isn't a paper boarding pass. Do you mean luggage tag?

Not really. My CVP lifts & shifts that if I have to rebook to get the lower fare

Time to start packing @Shawn5. Or at least think about what to pack I'm standard fare & got mine last week but no blue clip!! MedallionClass app states my Australian cruise medallion is ordered to be shipped to my home, no charge. Also standard fare

The cabin stewards left a five-pack of masks in each cabin. But I had brought a supply of my own. Thank you. That will be really helpful. I have some but not enough for 21 days and trying to use up my supply.

@Mike45LC I'm boarding the Emerald in 9 days. Can I still get masks through the app (shipboard amenities) or should I get some here & bring them?

Just got free my medallion that I ordered in early February. Booked standard fare. My future cruises also state they'll be shipped to me. FWIW I think those who booked prior to the increase will be just fine

Maybe I'm a nerd but I look forward to language lessons. Not that my pronunciation is any good but I have a better understanding when hearing Portuguese and Spanish. Also there were crafts every day in a specialty dining room. Not origami. Actual crafts

@MissP22 GSD has all the sticker colors except blue. Turning a medallion blue is the only problem. As to why: i like my refrigerator magnet souvenirs to be a rainbow of colors: blue, gold, ruby, grey, black, and white

Although we may have become accustomed to a particular set up, we aren't promised that anywhere that i can find. The Captain Circle benefit descriotion does not state what is in the mini bar, just that it exists. It simply states "Mini bottles of liquor can be exchanged for either the same size of a different type of liquor or beer on a one-to-one basis." So whatever set up is delivered is what's promised

What do you want?

Do they only deliver 2 scones & cream per person or do they inundate you with 6 platters as well? (at least room service will immediately remove the 'extras'). Picture Please -- tempt us More is never better IMHO adding background: I struggle with keeping at 24 BMI due to poor self control. I know I don't need to belong to the 'clean plate club' but grew up poor so it's deep in my brain

I specify vegetarian and they stick to that 1/2 the time, so don't count on it. They plate these up enmass. Its not like room service where they have individual orders

Same. Which is why I like to leave enough OBC to cover if if it clears. There's so few ship excursions I really want so it's a happy surprise when the ticket shows up!

Large balcony on E424 is 1/2 covered

Works great on my Samsung Internet but not on my Chrome

That’s not really fair to those working towards Elite status 15 cruises/150 days. I don’t want to eliminate the mini bar, that’s an Elite perk. Not everyone buys the beverage package or wants their 1 bottle of wine. It’s enough for my DH and I bring my own wine OB. Then shift the obc to: 16- 31 cruises 25 OBC and let the rest stand. Honestly Princess doesn't care what I or any of us thinks

Are you quoting days or cruises? Cruises not nights. So this would be an addition to the other perks after removing the minibar.

I had it as a main course on the Royal Princess last month, still in the gratin dish

I disagree with that. We do not drink nor do we purchase drink packages. Swapping out allows us to get soda and water without purchasing them. It is an earned perk and therefore should be available to all Unless they want to discard it all together and replace it with the missing loyalty obc as a tiered perk. I'll gladly trade it for 100 nonrefundable OBC 21-30 25 OBC 31-40 50 OBC 41- 50 75 OBC 51+ 100 OBC

Maybe they should just give elites a bottle of wine and no minibar. Buying 12 waters00

I think there needs to be an addendum to the perks .... like 1-3 day cruises just get a proportional amt. 1 day - 1 water, 1 liquor, 1 soda 2 day - 2 waters, 2 liquors, 2 sodas 3 day - 3 waters, 3 liquors, 3 sodas 4 day - 4 waters, 4 liquors, 4 sodas 7 day - full minibar Ridiculous to give a FULL minibar for an overnighter

I hear what you are saying BUT the switch didn't work on a 3 day cruise. It worked on cruises longer than that. So as long as your cruise is 5+ days you're good.
