san diego sue

and there are people sitting (mostly sleeping in the piazza chairs) and never seem to leave.

Thanks for the information. I have no idea what kind of device my husband will be getting . Sound like your wife has the state of the arts . Hope that is what he gets.

I was just going to ask the same question about pacemakers and safety with medallion magnet. I thought maybe I will get my husband a wrist band or ask for a card for him.He is having heart surgery and was told looks like his chances of needing a pacemaker after is 30%. Also how about the scanners we walk through getting on the ship and the ports?

I did say I was in a full suite. I really didn't care about not getting all the other stuff we use to get. I bring my own shampoo, conditioner, and bath soap anyway.

got none of the items (except bathrobes). We were in a full suite Nov-Dec 2022.We didn't even get the blue bag or Elite setups.We got bedroom slippers. The shampoos, soaps etc were in the refillable containers.Diamond Princess. Did get a bowl of fruit but it was the usual one that suites get.

Sorry to hear you got Covid. Hopefully it is a mild case and you recover quickly. Hope Holli stays well.

If you don't book a tour that takes you out of town, the town itself is nothing. Really not a tourist area but a place where people live and shop. We have explored the whole town as we have been there at least 5 times. Was there in December and wished we didn't get off the ship. The dock is a huge walk to the exit out. Very hot and humid day and Lew got sick in town. Cab will only take you to the entrance to the dock and it was such a long walk to the ship with no transportation to pick any one up. I had to have someone get a wheelchair for Lew when we finally got to the ship.There are some nice tours to towns but bus rides are long. Next time we won't get off the ship.

Bob , first night on the cruise you get free specialty dining since you are in a suite.

sounds like if one has covid and are isolated it was better not to have the insurance at all.Looks like from reading this , those people got paid right away from Princess direct. I always have Aon. We get it because we worry about having to cancel before a cruise.Had to do this twice and was greatful we had the insurance. Both times easy, just asked for FCC and got it. No big waiting. Also reading all this, it can make people not report they are ill and not be isolated. Then Covid will be spread to the passengers.

When I saw the first luggage photo you posted I thought, wow, Holli is traveling light.Then when I saw this one I realized the first photos were only your luggage. Looks like she will be changing clothes several times a day. Or she packs like I do, in case, in case, in case clothes.When we cruise next, I will have to do all the lifting of suitcases (Lew no longer can), so no in case clothes for me and I already told hubby I can only lift 24 inch suitcases.Have a wonderful cruise. Look forward to following you along on your journey. Also looking forward to seeing you on the new Sun Princess next year.happy cruising to you and Holli. Gloria

used a travel agent . Don't know if she got email since she is currently on a cruise. I checked on the cruise and see the itinerary change and note in the travel summary.This is the first time on a cruise ship that we will see an eclipse.

We are booked and didn't get an email.

So we were on the Diamond Princess , cruised out of San Diego, 20 day cruise It left on Nov 27th. We had a kettle in our cabin. We were in a full suite on Caribe deck aft. So surprised. We actually had packed Via instant coffee so made it every morning. Also got tea bags from the buffet. Our friends cruising with us in balcony cabins didn't have one. And another friend with also a suite didn't either. So don't know if it was left over from when the ship was in Asia . Enjoyed having it. It had a automatic shut off so it was safe to use. Water boiled very quickly.

We have been cruising out of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Our dine time has always been between 7 and 7:30 on our 7 cruises since the pandemic restart.We pick our dine time on the Medallion appl. prior to the cruise. We have never experienced lines like your post.After a couple of days , we just go to our assigned table(the first evening if we like our wait staff we ask to remain at that table). In affect it becomes fixed dining. At the door they check to make sure the table is available and we then walk to our table. If we can see our table from the door, we just go there.

I got no reply after complaining for the who knows how many times that I am still showing Blue instead of black. So I had thought one more time to try and ask. Got no reply from my email. This was in early January.

So I emailed and will see how long for a response, if it gets fixed etc. I also mentioned in the email that my Travel agent was told but Navigator on the phone that they can't fix the problem. I will report back when I hear.

I will try the email. Thank you. My travel agent today was told by Navigator that they couldn't fix the problem.First she was on hold with Princess and the call back feature had them calling her back several hours later. Then they connected her with Navigator and same thing but they did call back in a bout an hour. All for nothing because couldn't fix it.

Bidding process works well. I did that a few weeks before my last cruise. Nice to have the cabin upgrade you want before you board. In October 2021 on the Majestic lots of empty cabins.They were giving away the upgrades for free. I was pretty upset because a few days before that cruise I called Princess and paid to upgrade to a mini suite and now people were getting it free. My husband mentioned it to Passenger services and after they checked with the main office gave us an onboard refundable credit equal to what we paid for the one week upgrade. We actually were on for two weeks but only complained on the second week.I was surprised that my husband even said anything about it but he was checking on something else and casually mentioned it to the person helping him. Now with the bidding process, doubt if anyone is getting free upgrades once on board.

Funny I had contacted my travel agent about this. She just checked and she couldn't get discount on her device either. She updated her appl and still no discount. Oops she is also blue not elite on her appl. She has over 2,000 days with Princess.When will Princess take care of this glitch. Would save a huge amount of phone calls especially now that we can't get our discounts on internet.

I have updated. I think the problem is we are elite (76 cruises)and the appl shows us as Blue. I told my travel agent and she said she will look into it.This has been wrong for a year and calling in the past has done nothing. We have had six cruises showing us as Blue so that never changes. I did order Medallions this evening and the order is correct showing Black.So the appl only recognizes some thing correctly for us.

when I log in the full amount shows not the discount, do I have to go one more step and select buy before the discount shows or is it suppose to show at the price showing?

My travel agent booked the new cruise then cancelled the other one. Just had FCD and when cancelled went back into my account. She used another FCD to book the new cruise. (she booked the new one before cancelling the old one and I think somehow that is why the medallion appl. is screwed up.Not her fault but programing issue on the appl.

So I was lucky for a long time, my appl actually worked. Just cancelled a cruise for July and rebooked another one for July. July's cancelled ones still showing in appl.and the new one, isn't. Fortunately the new one is on my personalizer. So I thought , well just add the information on the web based.It is more screwed up than the Medallion Appl. Since the very beginning the Appl. has showed us as Blue members even though Elite. When we have ordered medallions, the order process always shows us as black medallion , they come to us correct so no big deal. I had tried to correct this and after several phone calls did give up. Well today , using the web based, got into my new booking, all screwed up, tried to order medallion and it is now being ordered as Blue. I didn't complete the order. Princess needs to get their act together and real quick .

My travel agent handled it for me. She went on the website and selected FCC for us.

also had to cancel for a cruise that we would have gone on tomorrow . Took four days and the FCC was in our account. At first we thought we were shorted because it was only 75% of the fare. Then I checked our credit card and the rest was a credit there for port taxes and rest of what we paid minus not getting back the Insurance .
