If booked in advance, the PP cost is included in the cruise fare. Some TAs give OBC as a percentage of cruise fare, so you we get additional OBC if initially booked. It can be significant on a 14 day cruise. Then, you can use the additional OBC onboard for whatever you wish. You can even use it to upgrade to Premier if you wish.

Customer service complaints seem to be up across the board as cruise lines try to recover from COVID and the ships get more crowded.

There are more and more people popping up on You Tube as cruise "experts". Most have taken less cruises than many on CC (including me), and they create controversy or stress as click bait. That said, I did a quick look CC overall cruise review scores by cruise line and found that most of the largest players score between 3.6 and 4.0, including some luxury lines. Princess is in that group.

Prices are very high downtown. You can save a hundred or more by booking a hotel out of the downtown area. Some have breakfast included and offer a complementary shuttle to Canada Place.

Since they are along the same beach, which do you prefer?

On a 14 day sailing (not B2B), do the MDR dinner menus repeat the second week?

We had the same experience. However, it is still best to track the folio daily. The app did distinguish between refundable and nonrefundable

I would add that the Salty Dog pop up is in the steakhouse and was not every sea day on my sailing.

Can this be done? I don't want to purchase the package and not be able to make reservations once onboard.

OP here. I received a check in the mail for the unused OBC 12 days after disembarking.

The folio clearly separated refundable and nonrefundable OBC. A folio was not given to us on disembarkation day and one was not emailed to us. I can not access it on the app or website. An online chat with Princess said that all OBC is nonrefundable. That is not true. They also said that it would take 7 to 10 days to receive a copy of the folio via email. I hope that they resolve this properly. I enjoyed the cruise and have another one booked. I hope that I don't have to stop sailing them over this issue

We sailed for 14 days ending last week. Since it was built in 1999, some of the decor looks a bit dated, but everything was in good condition. We had no problems and it was a good cruise. As with all ships, you will see crew working daily to keep the ship clean and in good condition.

How long does take for Princess to return unused OBC to your credit card at the end of a sailing?

Keep trying. The first two days after the reservations opened were a mess, with lots of error messages. I then made each evening reservation separately for a 14 day itinerary and was unable to get a private two top on two evenings. I went back two days later and was able to successfully change those two evenings to a private two top. We got what we wanted, a private two top at the set time each night, but it was a lot more effort than it was in the past.

Amalfi on Enchanted Princess shows available times but gives error messages. It says to try later.

Are there additional menus for a 14 day cruise, or do they repeat some earlier menus?

Sorry..found my answer after posting.

This does not appear to be an option on the app and you can't make reservations on the web site. Can you use OBC shown on the website to dining reservations and how do you go about this?

Two ships in port on the day of our sailing.

Is it as bad as online videos make it out to be? Do you have to go through US CBP in Canada?????

It is very frustrating when the booking engine does not even allow cabin selection.

Can you distinguish between refundable and nonrefundable OBC through the app or cabin TV?

A few weeks back on Venezia early seating dinner, there were two women in bikinis with mesh coverups. It's pretty much anything goes.

We have Princess Plus and were charged the mailing fee.

We want to decide between taking the train or road excursion to the White Pass Summit. The "train" experience is not important to us, we are more interested in scenery and wildlife viewing. What are the pros and cons of each?
