Ombud

Yes @Arizona Wildcatthere is a date as to when my CVP cannot refare. I personally don't ask within 45 days but if the next category up is the price I paid, I ask for one of those rooms. Sometines yes, sometimes OBC (I book standard fare so want OBC)

Can TAs "lift & shift" like CVPs?

Wow that does sound frustrating except OP bought theirs from a 3rd party not Princess I'd do as suggested: As AARP hasn't been responsive on other issues in the past. They're the ones who have their $500

Izena, the cruise sounds stressful but at least there's plenty to do onboard Thank you for helping out that poor dog. Some ppl just have no conscience

Yes .... I could in April .... traded minibar for it June & August. More recent cruisers have stated that there are changes since August 2022 that the minibar is traded for only 1 coffee pkg. Adding: suggest you ask on a LIVE FROM thread so someone on it this month can check for you

Got it. Different philosophies. I don't bet, I just invest but I also hold enough shares to get the OBC

1 show is definitely on the 2nd night

Why so many shares? I always have a reason / plan on investing. Especially in an F rated stock. Like I need to maintain 100 sh to keep OBC / all the while shorting & selling options to recover from an initial bad price (54) / now to zero out my investment in something that won't make me a lot. So I'm always curious as to others reasoning behind a large # of shares when it barely moves in price / no dividend / no real earnings

Shouldnt it look better after 12/31/22 whrn a lot of unused goodwill FCC expire?

Yes I have CGs. So sold CCL and another for the tax loss 👍 and bought CUK @ 6.50. Somehow I never get the bottom (5.43) but not too shabby. Will roll a tiny bit over ... the 1st qtr was great

Thanksgiving menu set. Yes I plan early but I like getting a head start then I can cut back food intake the week before: Me: Turkey Dressing Cranberries Potatoes Pies / whip cream Sohnjay - cream of spinach pumpkin soup Sara- beverages, rolls Dan - ??

I just go by whatever informeddelivery.usps.com says as they are the ones that put it in the mailbox

Did tax loss harvesting then got into CUK @ 6.50 so it's happy dance time!! Somehow I never catch the bottom (was 5.43 a week later)

I was just going to show up whenever as no one asked to see the qrcode on my last 6 voyages. But then it popped with Arrival Group A. Had a fixit ticket on another glitch so I think someone in IT just randomly assigned me that. My point is to either: 1. Request a fixit ticket from 1800Princess 2. Just show up. Yes I like to have all my ducks in a row but apparently port staff don't care.

So we don't get 5 Skies on shorter trips?

You will have 2 of these 3. My favorites were Rock Opera & 5 Skies, but Spotlight Bar was good too

It's cold. Should still be cool but not cold (39°). Still walking every morning & afternoon. I am ok weight wise heading into my favorite secular holiday. Got good news .... my son finally gets his kids on Thanksgiving! Court ordered alternating holidays (court also ordered 50 /50 custody) but every time he asked for any holiday ×DIL threatened him with calling the cops and he sinks into another depression. So this is a welcome change. Only thing is she said he can have them for lunch only so I'm doing 1pm. No hike that day but everyone else agreed. Guess we'll play basketball up at the school after he has to leave. Will need to work those extra calories off before I head back out on a cruise 12/6/22

Because 90% of cruisers (specifically those not on CC) would book excursions with it as instructed?

Great suggestion .... No. Nope. Nada ..... fees way WAY too high This will get you locked out of your casino account. Happened 2× to me. Then the casino mgr was able to make it so I could load cash (but not transfer funds) to continue. The casino is not an ATM

Try 30 days before embarkation. Thats when mine showed up

Good question. I'll ask IC

Add whip cream. Still free on coffee 'card'

Drip coffee, tea, and hot chocolate (with milk & whip cream) are free on the coffee pkg around the ship (IC, Princess Cafe). Just another reason I trade my minibar for the coffee pkg

I went with Thumbs-up Tours & highly recommended their 7-in-1 tour / small group / pay driver directly after the tour

That's the one I tried to bid on (fwiw see you onboard or on roll call??) Anyway it was released overnight, can now bid, and got my boarding QR Code. Just can't access DMW or buy MedallionNet. Had another fix it ticket written. Have time to buy wifi. Cruise isn't for another 29 days.
