If this is the first trip to the port, sometimes, it is not available.  This is especially true if it is the first Princess ship of the season into port.

Our cruise isn't the first Caribbean cruise for the Sun and is well into the season.

I just wondered if the larger passenger load would make it unfeasible for them to transfer the luggage.

Also looking at earliest flight times - in the past it's been 11;30 or after - again wondering if larger passenger load would make that earliest time later.

I do know it's all speculation at this point.

I know we won't know for sure until after she really sails the Caribbean but if all Princess ships offer it there's a good chance - right?

(Luggage Valet, or whatever the current name is, is when you pay $25 or $30/pp and Princess delivers your luggage to the airport.for you)

There is single USB A socket and US 110v by the bed on one side only on Apex.  If you have USB C you will need adapters,

Thanks.

I am not at all tech savvy!

Can I charge an iPhone?

I did a quick search but couldn't find the answer.

Anyone who has sailed on Apex - is there a USB port on the nightstand?

And while I'm asking - how about the Eclipse?

Thanks!

Does anyone know about how much taxi fare would be from Havensight to Secret Harbor.

We are a family of five.

I know taxis in St. Thomas can get costly.

You might read the following discussion.  Clearing the cookies for Princess worked for me.(so far)

 

Clearing the cookies worked.

Thanks all!

I can log in but that's as far as I get before I get a screen that says "Sorry for the inconvenience, etc."

It's been that way for a couple of months.

Never had a problem before.

Quick question for those sailing in the near future.

I'm curious if the cabins have nightlights in the bathrooms?

Also, are there USB ports in the nightstands?

I seem to remember people saying yes to both when she first sailed but we will be on the Sun in December and now that it's closer I want to make sure.

Surely they should be described as ladder only access- no graduated stairs apart from the pay only Thermal pool in the spa

You're right - ladder is a much better description.

Works well for all of the children in the families they were hoping to attract with this ship - NOT!!!! 🥵

It almost feels as if the person who designed parts of this ship worked for someone trying to put Princess out of business.

Kathy and Ken, favor not related to cabins:

please post a few photos of Solarium pool. Trying to see if it is accessible by stairs rather than ladders. 
we don't need a “lift”; just stair access.  Thanks ahead

It's my understanding that all of the pools on the Sun are stair access only. 🥵

Makes no sense for many people!

Don't miss the Dover Sole in Compass Rose. Comes with a floor show as your waiter deftly de-bones the fish for you at your table.  Also it's tasty :-).

OMG!!!! 😁

I LOVE Dover Sole.

(Should have dieted WAY more before this  cruise!)

Thank you. When I go online (not the app) I can see my January cruise. When I go to manage cruise it says technical difficulties. Been like this all week. Weird

Me, too!

But you can get the awesome ahi tuna sandwich at the Pool Grill on Regent as well as the lobster nachos ("extra lobster, please").  Those plus the Regent "cocktail of the ship" are our traditional lunch upon boarding.  We'll be trying the "Mariner" cocktail for the first time next February.

 

We'll be doing the opposite, @Blowfish64--taking our first cruise on Crystal Serenity in October after four cruises with Regent since 2021.  We are looking forward to making the comparison after reading all the rapturous reviews on the Crystal boards.

We are first time Regent cruisers boarding the Mariner next week.

As if I wasn't excited enough - ahi tuna might be my favorite food in the world!!!!

Our food experiences will be different than most, my husband is a vegan and I'm a pescatarian ( vegetarian who eats fish but not shellfish) .

I betcha some of us are watching closely to see if our Premier remains on our booking, like we did for the Star comp cruise!

If the image above is the only notice you have of having the Premier package you will have a tough time proving that to Princess.

As I said before, the bidding site to upgrade cabins  (which is where that screenshot is from) is from a third party, not Princess, so any misinformation is on them.

26 minutes ago, dog said:

The description here for bid does not match the pics I posted from my booking.  Chat & phoning said they cannot see that I have any package.

I got a second pop up saying I  Also have lounge access.

I am just going to say I am not expecting any benefits except for access to Sanctuary and private restaurant.

 

Who do princess have working for them? So much annoyances pre cruise.

If you get those pop ups (from Princess, not the third party site) again take a photo with your phone .

I still can't access my personalizer at all - still says technical difficulties, so maybe they're working on it.

9 hours ago, dog said:

What it looks like is that they are showing the amenities you'd be getting if you were to book your cabin now. Somehow they've upgraded you to current booking benefits.

Does that only show on the site to bid for an upgraded cabin or does it show when you log in to your current cabin and it's benefits?

I think the upgrade site is third party so that might be where the glitch is. (And not a reliable source)

If it shows on your personalizer then Princess also thinks you qualify.

Have you called Princess or your travel agent about this?

 

I have printed all of this, but want it in an email as to glitch or free upgrade perk.

Yes - My TA checked and we're fine.

She has no idea why we got that email.

She and I can't fathom where they got $138/pp/pd figure from!

We're in 2 M2 cabins, sail in December so they change to Sanctuary.

Anyone else think this is a glitch re: premier package not paid for?

Sorry to say, yes.

I got an email (that I 've posted several times) saying I can upgrade to the Sanctuary class and the Premium for $138/pp/pd.

We already are in a Sanctuary cabin and have the Plus package and besides that the Premium package is only $90/day to start with.

So something is VERY glitchy with Princess right now.

(And when I try to log on I've gotten the "under maintenance" notice for the last 4 days.)

BUT - If these notices about having the Premium package are in writing you have nothing to lose by printing them out and bringing them with you!😄

We will just have to go to guest services on the ship to see what will be our charged.

I usually pre pay CA & elite internet but will wait to do it when I board.

I ordered my bottle water & paid for 3 specialty dinners.

chat & phone calls ended with sending me back to waiting for a connection to a supervisor because the package is not in Princess computers.

 

i will post if I get an email response from customer relations.

I did not expect to get a freebie, either.

what is CA?

Is that every day or just sea days?

I would imagine it's just port days since Luminae is open for lunch on sea days.

Speaking of Luminae - is it open for lunch on embarkation day?

I had a 'burger at the Salty Dog on the Enchanted in March and it was delicious. Requested it be cooked the way I like it. No problem. 

@doghog - There aren't really any choices in how to cook plant based burgers. What exactly is how you like it?

You may find something to your liking at the spa cafe, mast grill or Cafe Al Bacio. All three are no additional cost. 

We haven't sailed E class before. Other than the buffet - where is lunch served on port days?

Spa cafe?

So the exact same options as on S Class. Nothing more? That's a disappointment.

If it's the big Sunday Brunch (only on a Sunday at sea and generally only on Grandeur, Explorer, and Splendor) I believe it starts at 10 am.  If it's just the Champagne and Caviar" Sunday then I think it's 9 am. 

Is the brunch announced in the daily newsletter or is it an "If you know, you know..." type of event?

Looking at it again.

There is basically nothing. Any chance the stewards can get other items?

I have a reserve mini suite booked for November which has been upgraded to a Sanctuary class mini suite. I have been getting these pop up notifications as well, even though I know I won’t have Lounge access.

I think the point is that Princess is sending these pop up notifications to those of us in Sanctuary balcony and mini suite rooms with misinformation. Another instance of them not having their act together.

I saw the Premier Package listed.  However, when trying to go to my cruise page it says they are having technical difficulties.  It happened all last night too.  I just would like to know what the "suite benefits and upgrades are"  I called my Princess Cruise Planner a few minutes ago.  I said initially back in June you said it was a mistake.   I said two months later when a friend of mine was looking to book the Cabana Mini Suite it says the very same thing.  She had me send her a screen shot and she is going to try to find out what it means as she had no idea.  

This is what I've seen for the last three days  when trying to log into my account to see these pop ups people are talking about.
