You ca make reservations as long as system works regardless status and final payment. 
Earlier this year I made dining reservations for A 10 days cruise and I knew I didn’t click ‘same time daily’ but the system decided to give me the same time. Also in my dining reservation it showed ‘xxx added you to a reservation’ . My point is there are still glitches…

We were also on Discovery Princess. What an amazing experience for a first timer chaser. Passengers also made a huge difference, with thousands on deck everyone was polite and respectful. 

Also  want to add that staff set up 2 rows of chairs by the pool side railings deck 16 for those who needed to be out of sun and/ or seated. I was  there with my 94 yo mom so she can also experience this event.  Crew members walked around passing out water, ice teas, suntan lotion so you don’t miss a minute of this event. 
 

According to Princess its going to be Sky Princess in 2026 - I assumed it will in Med/Spain - although itinerary is not out yet. 

My sister submitted request via e mail to hello at stockperks and got multiple emails (auto reply?) from ‘Zac’  to use app over 10 days.  I was going to download app on my phone to do it for her BUT she got another e mail address from Princess to contact Carnivalcorp at stockperks for benefits. Finally got it applied after 2 weeks back and forth.  She is very annoying with this new process after being a shareholder for 20+ years.

Oh. It's the same for the travel department, too?

Yes. But can always double check.

For anyone that used big box TA to book Princess, do you remember if payments made through them would post as Princess or the big box TA?

LAX

 

Big box does not accept Amex card for payment anymore. Visa only. You can use Amex for other expenses like excursions, specialty dining…etc. 

This requires ‘special handling’ and if you have a  Princess CVP it’s best let the CVP  handle this for you. I have avoided calling the general # since Princess outsourced call center
 

yes, based on past experience if you paid 100% solo supplement you ‘should’ expect to only pay additional port charges and taxes for adding a second passenger in the same cabin

My brother also received this casino e mail offer. The two he was interested in ( Japan and Hawaii) were sold out already e mail time stamp 3 hours 

Discovery Princess has ‘ Flow water’ filling station that I didn’t see it on Majestic Princess this past May.  ‘Flow water’ sells paper carton packaged water that you can purchase at supermarket. 
Ruby may get it during dry dock. 

Just disembarked from Majestic Princess  in Vancouver 5/27. Ship arrived at 7 am but disembarkation didn’t start until after 8 am - I think dock workers didn’t start until close to 8 am. Honestly I have never seen so many people wanted to self disembark with luggages in any ports, long lines. We were on first group independent (Princess handled our luggages) which was scheduled to disembark around 8:50 am but actual time was around 9:15 am. Taxi wait was about 15 minutes, not bad for a 3 ships day.
 

There was a down  escalator or elevator to pick up  luggages and walked through customs doors then direct to gate B for taxis. Lots workers along the way to direct traffics. 

 Our flight was at 1:15 pm and got to airport with plenty time to go through US customs. 

I was on Majestic Princess in May. When we docked at RRA on May 9 we were bused. When we docked at RRF on May 17, we were tendered.  Same with other mega ships docked at RR.

RRA is bused and  RRF is tendered. 

We had disembarked in Livorno ( Florence), one day before Civitavecchia  on a Celebrity transatlantic cruise pre covid. You need to get a written approved document from Celebrity / RCI pre cruise. While onboard we re confirmed with GS and someone helped with our luggages on disembarkation day and we just walked off, no immigration process. 
 

You can fill the request form online if it’s still there (Celebrity used the same form as RCI before)or contact  RCI to check if ‘down  lining’ (disembark early) is still allowed.

I just checked 4 different cruises for cabin availability using iphone without any issues but didn’t go through final booking process. Haven’t had any issues with website for a while now. 

I was able to add 2 passengers to my original solo cabin 1 month before sailing this past January. Since I was already paying 100% supplement, the second passenger only paid port fees & tax and the third person paid cruise fare + port fees & tax. I booked direct with Princess and no other fees charged by Princess . 

I think Op maybe referring to targeted casino discount rate offered for this sailing. There is also a large online agency is listing this cruise at lower price than Princess website. First time I’ve this  difference for any Princess cruise

I have sailed on Discovery twice. Juneau wasn’t available for reservations both times - mostly for walk ins. I found both Juneau and Skagway tend to be noisy at peak dining time and Ketchikan a little ‘calmer’.  If you eat after 7:20 ish pm it’ll be much nicer dining experience . 
 

During my last cruise it was hard to change dining time if you want between  6-7 pm. One night we waited about 20 minutes at Juneau in order to dine earlier than our original reserved time. Host will give you a buzzer

For Princess casino discounted cruise - generally sent as  ‘sail & play’ e mail -You can sign into your Princess account and book online directly. If you have offers it will reflect in the fare you see. Yes, Princess CVP can book these for you if you want. These are NOT comp cruises. 

For comp cruises I think you have  to call casino department   1-888-772-6697.

We were  on Solstice last October  Mx Riviera cruise with premium wifi. Able to stream Youtube without any problems , texting was fine but was surprised that e mail images loaded very slowly or blocked. I didn’t use internet for anything else so can’t speak to browsing speed

You have 3 choices - call MGM rewards, e mail MGM rewards or get it done at any casino reward desk.  Call can be 10 minutes to an hour depending how busy Celebrity is - MGM rep would call Celebrity to verify while put you on hold.  E mail can be hit or miss, i once waited 3 weeks and finally called.  At casino desk just show them your Celebrity profile with status and get your new card. 

Discovery Princess’ March coastal already canceled Monterey port stop 2 weeks ago. 

Yes, you can purchase wifi on board, it will be charged to your on board account. Price is the same on board, just go into Medallion net it will take you through the process.
 

New internet price takes effect for cruises with sailing starts late February, you ‘should’ see the new price based on your cruise sail date in the app, but we all know sometimes there is a glitch. 

You can call or check status online. Promised time for expedited process is 3-5 weeks.
 

I renewed my mom’s passport online 11/30 and received new passport first week in Jan. Paid both expedited fee and shipping. The passport card came in separately in regular mail  a couple days later. 

Unfortunately it was that ‘red stuff ‘ being offered daily.  The other ‘Norman Love’ imitation desserts didn’t taste the same either. 

Just off Discovery Princess today. The only change that I noticed is the Embarkation day menu has changed slightly- main entree choices are down to 3. I think there were 4 before. I don’t have any other menu photos to share. 

Currently it is $20/ day and sign up is for the total voyage (or rest of the voyage depending on when you sign up)on Discovery Princess. If you sign up using door panel, it will state the total $ amount that will be charged then you have to hit ‘confirm’ button to complete the sign up process.
