Why won't they deliver the Medallion ?
kywildcatfanone replied to Shippy's topic in Princess Cruises
It's probably either a short term glitch or too far out to order. Keep checking. Trust me, they want your $10. -
Currently on Sky - Churchills going away?
kywildcatfanone replied to BRDLY99's topic in Princess Cruises
I don't know, was just responding to the person who said it isn't there this week. Last week while on the walking track when you rounded the back of the ship you would get the smell wafting up from below, so there was a smoking around around the wake pool, but I didn't actually walk down to see if it was on 15 or 16. -
If you have a soda package, get you a couple the night before and take to your room for your next morning.

Yep, I usually love princess pizza, but it wasn't that good now that they have changed it -

Good for you. Last week there was a designated smoking area right above the wake pool. Glad they moved it. It was also in your face while using the walking track. -
My TA told me a while back that Princess told them on a call that 75-80% get a package. If they had another package or a new base package make it a non alcohol AI for $30-35 a day. I would buy that.

We were on this cruise. Got home about 3 hours ago. Overall we had a good time. I see lots of cutbacks, but will save most of that for other days. My biggest complaints were cleanliness issues around the buffet, in particular the coffee and ice availability. The coffee dispensers worked some days and not others. The ice dispensers rarely worked and they bad containers with ice and a scoop. People would just dip their cup into the ice, hand and all, or leave the scoop in the ice and people would go "hunting" for it. Even saw one kid just reach his hand in and grab pieces. Then on day 5 they ran out of iced tea, then this morning we were told they had no half and half. No idea why this happened, but someone commented to me they had been onboard the previous week and had the same issues.

Sitting at airport now after disembarking Sky. Went and got 2 specialty coffee's this morning. I watched the find my medallion on her screen, told her that was me and left. Was checking my account 30 minutes later as we were about to walk off the ship, and they never charged me for them. What was weird to me also was she put in my room number and it popped up 3 people on the screen, my wife, myself and some other face/name I didn't know, but was standing behind me. I had assumed if they enter a room number it would only show them those people, but I guess it still picks up surrounding Medallions. Anyway, if you got charged for my 2 mocha's sorry. I tried to pay.

So we are now at the airport waiting. I mentioned that 2 days ago they ran out of iced tea, and this morning in the buffet, they ran out of half and half and creme for coffee. What is going on with them running out of staple items? -
Drink packages separate from the plus with wifi and tips are much higher. Would only get a drink package with plus or premier

We are in the same boat as you (literally, lol). We relaxed and are ready to get home to our babies. Safe travels all! -

Technically you can arrive as early as 9am, but they generally don't let people in the building till 10 or after. It all depends on when they have everything ready in the lounges and are mostly done getting people off the ship. -
You have to check your account daily. I had an $11.80 bar charge yesterday and had to go to GS and get it removed. The bartenders don't pay attention sometimes to whose medallion they charge to. I didn't even go up to the bar, but was sitting in a lounger about 10 feet away. On disembarkation day, I check my account before walking off and grab screen shots or print one out in case the emailed one doesn't match.

Your cost of "non-included" dining is going up...
kywildcatfanone replied to cruisedoctor's topic in Princess Cruises
I'm in your situation. I don't pay it, but I look at it this way. I want people to book suites, buy packages, etc. It's where the profit lies for the cruise line, and at least somewhat allows those of us who choose to cruise more frugally to do so and not take the brunt of outright cruise fate increases. Obviously there is a lot of profit in it, and why the cruise lines push them so hard, and as some point out here they are happy with their perceived value they provide. With that said, I certainly see the cruise lines trying to move to make every customer a higher revenue based customer while lowering their costs. On Sky now, and you can tell lots of cutbacks in food quality, service staff and routine maintenance of things like coffee machines and ice makers. They even ran out of iced tea with 2 days left on our cruise. -
Question for recent travelers on the Regal
kywildcatfanone replied to kstrittm's topic in Princess Cruises
We were on earlier this year and other than some carpet and varnish, she was fine. That ship isn't that old. -

Can apply to a lot of things on a cruise ship -
What happens if you don't use all your OBC
kywildcatfanone replied to SunAngel's topic in Princess Cruises
If it's refundable, they will mail you a check. If not, you lose it. -
Okay, as I suspected. Now, why are they not repairing items used 24 hours a day?
-
Thanks for the review. We are on now. We're the ice and coffee machines broken in the buffer when you were on as well? I'm suspicious this has been longer than just this current cruise.

It's been gone for a while now, and I'm still mad about it. No reason they couldn't continue to offer it for loyalty customers. Also, as I mentioned, you used to get 20 water/soda, on the Sky this week it was only 18. Yet another cutback against their most loyal customers

kywildcatfanone replied to cruisedoctor's topic in Princess Cruises
Haven't been to a fast food restaurant in a while, but prices usually are visible,and people know tax is included. I would assume they would at least post it on the menu outside the restaurant or at least on the menu itself. I wonder if anyone would find out about it after sitting down and then get up and leave? -

kywildcatfanone replied to cruisedoctor's topic in Princess Cruises
I wonder, are they just assuming that since every paid food and drink incurs the 18%, that they don't need to announce it and just let it become assumed as a normal tip item?
