Dies anyone know if you can use more than one cruise credit in a booking!

You can only get OBCs for one FCC per booking, unless you're booking the cruise as separate segments, b2bs, and then you can use one per segment booked, getting full OBCs per segment. That's why I like to have several in hand.

I am unhappy to hear about having to physically connect with the consultant in order to purchase multiple FCC while onboard. This has never been the case in the past. Hopefully someone can get more firm info from Princess. This could just be a case of someone screwing up and then the rep trying to cover the error.

 

I will definitely be wanting to purchase more FCC on our next cruise. We have two cruises booked and that only leaves us one FCC each. We definitely need to have more than that on hand!

I called Princess a few days ago and was given the story about having to personally turn the order form in to a rep on board in order to purchase multiple FCCs. When I replied that I have always purchased multiple FCCs using the order form -- including 3 I purchased via a BVE in San Francisco -- I was told the person with the most knowledge of the policy was off until the 18th, and would call me back on her return. She called me back today as promised and repeated the policy. Definitely seems it's not being enforced consistently, though. Now I'm wondering if someone just screwed up my order and this is a cover story. Oh, well. Just disappointed. Not worth stewing about. But I guess I will have to wait in line next time to be sure I receive what I'm requesting. Just hope I don't need extras before then for a b2b2b.

We recently did a BVE to buy FCCs. Turned in a request for 1 (dropped in the box), then before we got off decided it would be prudent to buy 2 more. Filled out another form for 2 and dropped in the box. A couple of days later, I realized that the credit card # I had used to make the booking was not longer valid.:eek: There was a security breach and I had been sent a new card.

Called Princess and explained. The rep said that she could see where the FCC consultant had tried to put the card through twice and it bounced back both times. The phone rep offered to take the new number and apply all 3 FCCs. No problem. I got the regular FCC (not the "welcome home" FCC).

Next time we are on a cruise, I will double check with the FCC consultant, because we will be buying more FCCs. We have used all of the FCCs we bought:D

I'm wondering how recently this took place?? I dropped in my order for three FCCs on May 1. I was given the information about having to be personally present just today. There was no indication from the rep as to when this became their operating policy.

Interestingly enough, I thought I had purchased 3 FCCs while aboard the Regal Princess in May.I filled out the form, requested three for a total of $300, and just received my credit card statement indicating only $100 had been charged. I called, and by way of explanation, Princess tells me that in order to purchase more than one, you have to personally hand it to an agent while aboard ship rather than drop it in the slot. I've always dropped my multiple orders into the slot, never a problem in the past. It seems at the very least they should post this new policy in the vicinity of the drop box. At any rate, they now offer to sell me the "welcome home" FCCs with the lesser OBC amounts. Doesn't seem like a fair resolution to me. :rolleyes: But at any rate, anyone interested in purchasing while still aboard more than one FCC for future b2b cruises should be forewarned you have to hand in your request form to a live human being rather than drop it into the slot provided.

We were in our cabin by 1:30 pm.

Since I do not like a messy cabin, we decide to skip dinner at the Britannia to finish unpacking. Our room steward Patrick brought me a plastic chest of drawers; it really helps since I took so many items.

Wow. Nice to know that if needed, a plastic chest of drawers might be available. Thanks for posting the cabin pics. Very helpful.

This is going to make a lot of people happy. I didn't miss the Promenade access on the Royal, but so many others did.

I think it's a prime element for many of us with inside cabins. It's my favorite place to hang out, relax, read and look for sea life.

Coffee cards at the coffee bar; soda stickers............. everywhere. ;)

Well said. Lol

Did not have the time to search all the way through but one thing that has really helped us in the small stall showers. Go to your local bait shop and you can get a weight that has an alligator type clip on the other end. They are called sounding weights. Put 3 or 4 on the bottom of the shower curtain and it prevents the "attack of the shower curtain" while keeping it inside the stall. Some use clothes pins but the weight is better. Don't forget the air freshner spray. :D:D

I use small clip-on picnic tablecloth weights.
