Ombud

Oh ... I guess I'm not as easy going. My CVP has it listed that I only want to be contacted before noon (we're both on the Pacific Coast) and email is perfectly fine. She has a huge list but always responds same day Agree with @Steelers36. that's strike 1 & 2 .... 3 strikes they're out

I'm doing my very 1st B2B in May .... a 5 day then a 16 day. Heres where I'm a little confused, hoping other CC Members can shed some light: 1. Can I bring 2 bottles on? (Like Reisling but not sweet one) 2. If I trade my minibar for coffee, does that coffee card work on the 2nd cruise? 3. If so, can I trade the minibar for a bottle of wine? Thanks. I know I might be able to search history for answers but want to know how it is IRL post restart & hard to search on the droid

IC has donuts each morning until 10 or 11 .... depends on when they run out. But custard filled ones only available every day in Hanukkah.

I took the tax loss and bought CUK @ 6.50 which also gets Shareholder OBC.

I had 2 March 2020 cruises on the Grand Princess canceled. My granddaughters Goodwill credit (the bonus amt) expired 12/31/22 but her other FCC is good until the end of this year so unless you took cash + Goodwill FCC you still have OBC = the amount you paid for cruise

I have ordered appetizers / small plates on the app but following to see if anyone has ideas other than a mixer .... doing 1 for April cruise

Logging progress in case anyone's interested: 1/11/23 - submitted 1/23/23 - flipped to received so earliest I can change to expedite (didn’t) 4/14/23 - needed to avoid a trip to city hall for a certified birth cert

I ask the Head Waiter and get one. Problem is it either needs to be by 5:30 or after 8. And it has to be in MDR Deck 5. For some weird reason it's always been there. (1st time I started to walk out bc it was too noisy, next 6 times I asked if the HW wanted to take my order the day before or let me have the same table each night. They preferred same table / staff) Omit black / white pepper from all dishes

If you want to get rid of the gift card and have OBC why don't you just buy OBC?? I've done that with a gift card

I haven't seen a huge rise in hotel prices but they've increased (I do land only trips as well). I have seen a bump up in flights. Used to be NS around 785 to Sydney AU (according to my screenshot reservations from 2018 & 2019) but right now I'm satisfied with 2006 and that isn't even NS!! What the heck is up with flight pricing??

Sounds like the one I fired ..... which is easy to do BTW. My 1st one (M.R.) had spoiled me but retired. My 2nd one was a total nightmare so I fired her. Got another good one now. Never let's me book nonrefundable deposit (unless it's $1) always suggests a few $$s more to keep it refundable But I have written a query to the powers: "Why is it that some ships have the vegan / vegetarian menu and others have an extremely limited option on the standard menu?" Wasn't happy when I discovered that. Adapted but disappointed

The season is 12 months

I'm a coffee / tea drinker not a wine drinker although I often have 1 glass a day. What makes the most sense for me personally is: $16 daily gratuity $7.50 per day wifi IF AND ONLY IF there's alot of sea days $0 trade minibar for 2 Coffee [or Tea] Lovers pkg $23.50 a day $7.08 dz waters precruise Carryon 1 bottle wine Now if I had 2 glasses wine every day or get hundreds of OBC my answer might be different

Not a mini-suite cruiser and only Princess standard ex the 1 time i had a free upgrade but that said I've just gotten it done for free at internet cafe & GSD. I've heard others go to crew chat, put in the request, pick up at GSD as well. The simplest task was the internet cafe

I love the Princess motion sensor lights!! So hoping they are added to the Enchanted Princess before my transatlantic

According to the link provided by @PacnGoNow, there's only 2 ships there that day

You're posting 2015 rates, I'm getting the same OBC I got in 2019 (just looked)

@Hazelnut1106 it is easy to withdraw € at ATMs (just don't use the ones on Princess .... yes they're there .... as they have a 6% surcharge plus transaction fees). In fact your bank may refund both foreign transaction fee & ATM fee. Here's what I do: take # of anticipated tours ×2 × tip = 1 withdrawal. 1 fee to be reimbursed (usually €£¥$3.00) that way if it's not reimbursed it's so miniscule it's irrelevant. Extras evaporate or get given to favorite crew as extra tip

Uber is just 40rt so I'm going to ask at M&G if anyone is interested in sharing. Still not bad for solo

Tried searching for public transit to Pearl Harbor & couldn't find it so googling now. Thank you

Yes. I also traded for 2 coffee pkgs in December and plan to do so in April.

Just renewed online and it was stupid simple!! Except I put in wrong travel dates (3/16/23 - 4/23/23 instead of 4/16/23 - 4/23/23). Oops. Hard to do everything on a smartphone. Well I could go to Mexico almost anytime. I mean it's less than a days drive south. Would you correct?

I just booked one and for anyone who's done it before: 1. Can I DIY Hilo, Honolulu, Kauai (Nawiliwili) ports? 2. Do Hop On Hop Off shuttles come to the port? 3. How to get to Pearl Harbor?

I just wear my retractable reel .... y'know the kind a work badge attaches too.
