I do not have a Princess consultant as I always use a TA so perhaps that is why although as said I do not play heavily

Shame if she does not come back as we had great cruises on her in the past and love the ship

Never had a casino offer and although not a big spender visit the casino every day it is open when cruising (82 cruises) is there a secret to getting the offers of any sort

Have you actually tested yourself Husband and I both well and NO symptoms on a ship whuch tested everyone showed we were positive so you may not know also see posted above same situation

Just received yet another one GGGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr The rotweiller is getting narked

was advised by a cruiser that on a port day if you asked for a bottle to take off you wefe chaged as it was not included in the plus package but I do not know for certain if this is rue

No one has noted that gelato is also included free in the plus packages on Princess

I have found that if you request stilton, brie or gorgonzola you MAY get some but otherwise why would we eat a lump of parmesan which we have been given twice

I was not willing to wait until we get on board to sort out 55 days dining. The silly thing is that apart from 2 days I have been able to use the medaallion and change my times back to the original choice!!!!!!!!!!!! It is just such NUISANCE

Just received 2 more e mails telling me they want to make my experience superb so they have changed MY CHOICE of 6.20 dining to 7.20 in the other restaurant to suit THEM This is NOT Dine My Way

When you board go to the restaurant (usually dragon lady) and there will be staff to assist you to book wherever you waant each night and at what time They will also advise how many days each menu stays so that you can do nights for each offering

I do not understand how Princess are "organising" dine my way via the Medallion It seems that it should be called "Dine the way Princess wants to make you" After full payment of my 55 day cruise I used the medallion app and chose shared table at 6.20 ev ery day in the Provence restuarant and this was accepted and shown for each day Happy me. Not for long e mails received one or 2 per day We love you and want you to enjoy your cruise and to help you do this we are changing your request to something that you do not want......!! On (this date) you are now eating at 5.20 on a shared table in the Bordaux dining room. I replied asking why this was done and it was not what I wanted. No reply until I have returned 6 MORE identical e mails for other dates changing the times I had booked. Then I got a phone call from a delightful lady who could not explain why this was being done She had contacted the Coral and advised them we were not happy and she said they did not tell her why it was happening. She confirmed she had advised them they should not change any more dates. Today I received 2 more....... Not happy at all I know I can get on board and chase the dining line but this is wasting my valuable time and also last time we tried to change things via the dining line they were unable to assist us and I am certain that will be their answer this time as well. P..zz .p in Brewery comes to mind and I am upset that I need to keep chasing these problems.

It is but if the cruise takes you to Fiji at all the prices are much better there

Welcome back Den We are in our mid 80's and have managed 7 cruises since it reopened after covid. Just go with the flow and if in a crowd wear a mask your choice now but sometimes a good idea

I bought in 2009 and with the quarterly dividends and the obc on a lot of cruises inn US$ and AU$ I have had my money back 2 or 3 times and of course still have the shares which as noted are slowly rising again.

If you have a downloaded copy on your computer you can just add your name to it as I did 9 years ago and update it regularly to the value of the shares and it has always worked

I used equiniti and can log kin on line to see my holdings then I download the view and send that to Carnival

I gather it is changing its name again later this year

The Barangaroo York street exit No 3

Which is VERY acceptable but I cringe when the board shorts and thongs appear in the dining room with a cap on formal nights and now the Maitre D does not seem to exist on the floor any more nothing is often said

I have just posted this in ports of call but thought it good for this forum as well. Just used the Mercure Hotel in YORK STREET Sydney (there are lots of Mercures) It was very clean and comfortable Huge walk in shower and very pleasant staff. Restaurant available if required. A very good priced hotel The hotel is just 100 m to the left of the Burangaroo exit of Wynyard station and this is one stop before Circular Quay so VERY convenient for cruising. Not even too far to get a taxi for White Bay if that is your entry port.

Thanks for all the good information Perhaps they will send it or a sister ship to Sydney

We need to nag Western Australia to open their cruise terminal again then we could do those itineries

At a question and answer session on Carnival The CD was asked why we had to have huge ships here that could not dock The reply given was that there were so many Australians and NZ trying to book the small ships were oversold therefore a larger ship was sent HOWEVER on the last 2 cruises on that ship we noted that there were several hundred USA cruisers who had a completely FREE holiday even gifted $500 or so obc for the casino AND free drinks throughout. So it does not compute This included very cheap cruise about $500 for 9 days inside and children under 12 free
