Musky Ike-  I do see $100  as booking promotions under my payments tab.

That is how mine reads. Not sure why they don't list it as casino core. It is just like any other OBC. enjoy! They used to make you go to the cage to get it applied to you casino account once you set one up, but now it is just added to your onboard account. You can charge either chips or slot play to your onboard account.

I am going on a cruise on July 1st. I was looking at the on board services and noticed Casino Credit that states $100 OBC casino core.  When I go to my payments tab that shows me and my husbands OBC there is nothing showing casino credit. Is this in addition to the OBC that is showing under the payments tab?  Is it free play chips or OBC?

Do you see a $100 credit listed as "booking promotions"? If so, that is it and it is OBC. 

I did notice on the picture of the deluxe balcony cabin there appears to be a coffee maker in the room?

As a long time Princess cruiser and in the "older" demographics, I like the older ships but there are a lot of areas on those ships that we do no have any interest in using. We will give the sphere class a try and see. I hope to be pleasantly surprised. Other than park 19, it looks there are a lot of other new and interesting things to try.

If you are buying them to use for your own cruise, they are not really 'gift' cards.

Where does it end?!?!?

 

It is a gift to myself.

Well, we were on the May 20-June 1 cruise and it did not rain a single day for us. I think that we were extremely fortunate, but we loved it!

We were also on that cruise. The locals were thanking us for bringing the unusually nice weather 😄. The next cruise the cancelled Guernsey stop due to wind. You just never know. Layers are a good idea. Some mornings start out cool but much warmer by mid-day.

If you make charge to your room in casino, they will subtract it from your OBC

I can do most anything that I normally do...which isn't really that much.  However...I have noticed a trend over the past few cruises where I cannot get to my email (Comcast/Xfinity) either through my normal email client or their web portal. Nothing to do with Starlink...they appear to be blocking some ports and have been doingso for some time. I can only check my email in ports. Very aggravating!

Same issue with the email site through our cable company. Fortunately most of the important stuff is on gmail.

We are on this same cruise next week and can’t wait!  

Same here. The anticipation is building. Thank you Steelers0854! Keep it ship shape for us next week.

Thanks for the informative posts. We board on the 20th for the 12 day. Even more Excited to see it all in-person now.

So I can wait in line for an hour to bend over backwards and kiss something that countless others have already kissed or who knows what else to it that day, for a gift I have now? I'll think about that. 🤔

USPS tracking says due to arrive on Tuesday the 9th for our cruise on the 20th from CA. So 11 days ahead which is pretty normal.

IMHO it is time to put this thread to bed, it has been beaten to a pulp!  🥺

I am thankful that we are is back to big discussions about little things. It almost seems like a return to "normal".

I've never used (or even tried to book) the Sanctuary, but I don't see the manual system being an option if they're simultaneously taking reservations in two locations. 

Me either, unless it is phoned in from the VIP lounge as it is being reserved.

I hate to say this but Princess needs to increase the price of Sanctuary until supply equals demand.  

Go ahead and give them ideas to increase onboard spending. I'm almost certain that has been already suggested by the bean counters. Or they could do a pre cruise bidding process. Highest bids get the spots. Maybe a day early bidding window for elites? 😉

I don't think do.  There are a lot of elephants posting in this forum.

Yes, there are a lot of us who remember, however many new elites may not know or even care what used to be. Like when I'm talking to someone younger and I start a sentence with "back in my day" and get the eye roll. 🙄

Well that leaves me out. 

Us as well, unless they would grandfather us in 😄

It looks like Princess might have actually listed to our comments. Extra seating in all cabin types and shower doors instead of curtains. 😃

So we still "sail" aboard a ship powered by internal combustion engines? 🤔

They can call it what they want. I don't give a ship. I will still be onboard for a new adventure.

The  company that is making these offers is run by a couple that started, ran, and sold a company that allowed people to trade time share weeks for cruises.  If you think it sounds like a time share hard sell it is because that is the history of the owners of this company.  Open Network Exchange is the name of the company.

 

John and Marcia Rowley, founders and former owners of International Cruise & Excursions, Inc. (ICE),

I have been called twice. From what I am seeing here, I am glad that I turned them down. Thank you CC friends.

They are larger and heavier than other princess ships, but Portly Princess is probably not on that list. 😉

i'm going on a cruise and i'm ordering the desert with absolutely NO TOPPINGS, except chocolate sauce

We had them leave off booze and the candies on top on our last cruise.

The Classic Soda does not include cans

 

According to the descriptions Princess website, cans of soda are included in the classic soda and zero alcohol packages, just not the plus or premier packages for some reason.
