Can I ask which Segway company you are using in Mazatlan?  TIA

Thank you for taking the time to do this!🌴

ON the website you can go to Plan My cruise and select any category e.g. drinks and it will show in top right corner next to you your initials.   Under your initials you can also choose view purchase history.

 

Refundable OBC will not show until on the ship.

I bought OBC through the Blue Chip agent.  I guess this is consider refundable OBC so that is the reason I can't see it?  I see the internet package and excursions I purchased through them, but not the OBC.  TIA

Specialty Dining Upgrade

Upgrade your Free at Sea Dining package by adding 2 Extra Meals for only $59 USD plus gratuity – a 33% discount off the 2 meal package retail price.

• PRICE $70.80

Will this upgrade offer be available when I board?  I have OBC that I would like to use up so don't want to prebook this upgrade.

I don't know the answer to your specific question.  

 

I will suggest be sure to understand that there is non-refundable and refundable OBC.  The former can't be used for things like the DSC.

Any idea if the “On Board Credit Certificate “ that I can purchase on the App is refundable or non refundable? 

I have a lot of OBC.  Can I use that to pay for the our other cabin's gratuities and excursions?  Can way to link the cabins to share the OBC? TIA

I want to pre purchase with the $70 upgrade price but am concerned that I won’t be able to get reservations on board.  Cagney and Le Bistro are no longer accepting reservations for our upcoming cruise in 4 weeks l.  I think we will have a full cruise and reservations will be tight.

Darnit, I wish I had it on mine now. Nothing for NCL at this time. 😞 

I know!  I see offers for Royal Caribbean and HAL but nothing for NCL

Thank you for your report.  Did you have to make reservations for the shows?

Please forgive some really newbie questions.

 

My Bride and I are cruising on the Bliss to Alaska soon. We have been on the Bliss and Encore before but we have never set foot in the Casino. Last time we gambled was on nickle slots 39 years ago on our honeymoon while waiting for dinner in Reno, NV. Our upcoming cruse package includes "Casino Play: USD 25 promo play applied to guests 1 & 2. Slot machines only." Can someone please share how that works and what kind of slots we should expect? Are they the push button to play or do any of them use the old fashioned pull lever? What range of bets can we play - just $1 and up or are smaller bets allowed? When are we permitted to cash out - do we have to lose all of the $25 or can we play some and get the balance in OBC?

 

We also have "Bingo: USD 39 promo play applied to guests 1 & 2 for 2 sessions; 3 games/session." How many games/sessions will $39 get us? Is Bingo in the Casino also?

 

Thanks in advance for your gentle answers!

We have a similar package through Costco-  How did it work for you?  Did you have to apply additional money for Bingo?  Thanks

Slightly confused if my 20 y/o son will get the Soda Package if he is the 2nd passenger in the cabin with me under "FREE AT SEA" program. 

  Can I sign a waver for him to be able to drink alcoholic drinks?

Also if I want to upgrade to Premium Plus Drink Package could I do that for myself only and not have to pay any extra for him?  TIA

hello, my family of 4 (including teens aged 15 and 17) will be in Mykonos on July 24, 2022 (DH's bday) and wondered if anyone has recently gone to a beach resort with a day pass?  

 

I read about Saint John hotel but I don't see anything about a day pass on their website. 

 

Any luck?  I am tempted to go to St. John but unfortunately our ship does not get to port until 12 noon.  I asked the hotel if they could offer us lunch and afternoon snack since we are missing breakfast and they said they could not.  Seems expensive for just lunch at the resort.  Any other ideas you came up with?  Thanks!

I have been to one in Kusadasi and really enjoyed the experience than found a Turkish barber around the corner for a shave and haircut. I plan on repeating when we visit in 2023.

Do you by by chance remember the name or location?  TIA

I would expect them to be ticketed any day now. We were recently ticketed at about 33 days out on Alaska Air.

 

Not sure the option is still available but try going into the Travel section on the Personalizer and see if you can select the request early ticketing option. While you're inside the early ticketing window, it might put a notice on someone's screen that your account needs some attention.

Thanks.. I think after 45 days that "early ticketing" button option disappeared. 

Any update on this topic?  We are 34 days out from our cruise and still not ticketed??  Is this normal?

When I put in my AA confirmation number I received from EZ AIR it does show my return Delta flight information too.   Different confirmation number for Delta but to confirm what the OP stated,  it does show up on my AA itinerary even though it is a Delta flight.

We wanted to try something different on this cruise.  Anyone ever been to a Hamam in the above 2 locations?  Safe?  Clean?  TIA

In regards to actual entry into Italy:

 

*** Effective December 6, 2021, all air passengers 2 years or older (citizens of all nationalities, including U.S. citizens, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated) with a flight departing to the US from a foreign country, are required show a negative COVID-19 viral test result taken no more than 1 day before travel

 

https://it.usembassy.gov/covid-19-information/

Unless you are planning on going several days in advance the above would appear to cover your situation.

 Thank you.  I think the above is in reference to flying BACK to the USA from foreign countries.  I was curious about flying to Italy and the procedure at the port.

Anyone have recent experience with being tested at the port in Italy?
 

 Was it nasal? Self administered?

Looks like rules now state you need a test 1 day prior to boarding which will be impossible if  your flying in from the USA the day of the cruise.

TIA

Hi, I checked this extensively before I booked as we were getting the package and I have a 19 year old step-daughter who would make more of the drinks than her 22 year old brother. 😁  Here is the info from Princess, under Age Restrictions on Drinking & Gambling.  Clearly states the drinking age in Europe is 18.

https://www.princess.com/learn/faq/onboard/onboard-experience/

But from what I understand even though the drinking is 18 in Europe they will not give that passenger an alcoholic drink package for the Plus Package deal.  Is that right?
 

  I have a 20 y/o.. will he be getting the Soda package in Europe when it was part of the package purchased here in the USA?

Today the forward half of the port side of Emerald Deck has become the quarantine ward. My cabin is close to the exclusion zone but not too close hopefully. 

Does this mean the covid cases are going up on board😞

I used the Bev package several times for room service during our 3/5 cruise on the Majestic. We ordered specialty coffees in the morning, cocktails and beer in the afternoon, glasses of wine while getting ready for dinner. It was great. Of course tipping the delivery person was much appreciated by them. I felt it sped up service as well as having the same delivering a few times.

Wow!  did not know i could use it for Room Service!!  Thanks for teaching me something new!
