Hi @CharmedLifer, I believe you might be looking for the TP Majestic sailing? I believe since this is such a long sailing, it is not available to pre book. I just checked my 11 day sailing on the Crown for May, and it was available to pre book, of course on the Crown, it is the ‘Thermal Suite’. Price for 11 days is $216.

Ah that’s a good point @wallyj. Length of cruise may impact selling and access for all who may want it and or getting on and off. Thanks!!! Appreciate the pricing info 🙂 And yes TP…SYD>LA

We just off Discovery Pre cruise purchase on line was $140 , on board price was $169 for 7 days .

There was a daily Sea Day sign up sheet to use area , walk ins may not find a lounger unless after 5pm.

Thank you. Seems Princess opens some Enclave pre cruise and others not. Appreciate the pricing information. Not too bad a difference online. Good advice and appreciated. Hope you enjoyed your cruise.

I had that problem on one cruise. It didn't appear in my personalized. Only the Thermal Suite did, which they didn't have on that ship. I tried booking it, to see if it might change to Enclave, but I couldn't. Others on the same cruise had no problem. I just waited and booked on board and insisted I got the pre-cruise price. Took a video of the personalized experience for proof.

Many thanks. I finally got through to someone at Princess who said they couldn’t find it either……Will take a screen shot. Thanks again for your help……

@jwattle if only I could find out where to book it online. I have followed your trail. Enclave does not come up. Calls and Live Chat to Princess - no one knows what I’m talking about. They keep directing me to Sanctuary…any help appreciated. I see 112 Spa services none of them are Enclave access. Thanks!!!

No “relaxation services” topic….hmmm moved or not selling in advance anymore? But the fact no one at Princess knows what I’m talking about sheesh…..:)

Never have I ever had so many people smoking weed on a cruise. Don’t bother w a balcony. All day and all night people around smoking weed. No open balcony or enjoyment just sitting outside.
 

Carnival pretends to have and enforce a no illegal substances on board. But security takes their time and has no ability enforce. This is more than 10 cruises. The worst - food, service and the smell of weed everywhere - including smoking deck w impunity. 

So we are day 2 at sea. Any challenges during embarkation have been solved. Had 3pm boarding - when we arrived from Long Beach airport using the cruise transfer (11am shuttle)- our bags were whisked away by the porters on minutes. We walked directly into the terminal and within 15 minutes were on board. I was in the pool 30 mins later. Bags arrived by 4pm.  

Ship has about 2500 on board. As others have said there is no wait for food, reservations or lounge chairs. Service has been excellent. 

Lido buffet and Vista dining room food has been unimpressive but all that depends on your POV and experience. 
 

The gym has been great if not full of passengers. Masks required and they enforce it. 

@Wennfredi sail 9/18 and 25. Also watching closely…..is there a thread for those cruise dates I ha e not found it. 

Did you all see this re Covid cases on board 8/21 cruise?
