That tells them where to find the wine if you order it.

10 alcoholic drinks can be traded one-for-one for alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks. 10 non-alcoholic drinks can be traded one-for-one only for non-alcoholic drinks.

Yes. You will be able to log on to the app separately. Either one of you can log on and enter information for both of you. If one person enters all of the information, then the other one does not need to log on. The same applies to the Cruise Personalizer webpage. Either one of you can log on and purchase excursions or do other transactions for both of you.

The European style plugs are 220 volts - not 110. The adapter converts the plug - not the voltage. Most CPAP devices and chargers are dual voltage, but you should check your devices before traveling.

I answered this question on the other thread where you posted the same question.

You can purchase any drink by the glass whether you have basic, plus, or premier - you just pay differently. Example: If a drink costs $18: With basic, you pay $22.42 ($19 plus 18% of $19) With plus, you pay $4.72 ($4 plus 18% of $4) With premier, you pay nothing

Plus includes the 18% service charge on anything covered in the package. If the price is $15, you pay nothing. If the price is $16, you pay $1.18 (the difference plus 18% of the difference). I have not purchased a bottle of wine using a beverage package, so I can't answer that question from personal experience. I would expect to pay 18% of the 75% cost of the bottle, but I don't know for sure.

You have to sail by the end of the following year. I just checked my Circle Savings Account online under Future Cruise Credits. I have the following FCC listed from a cancelled cruise last year: Description: Princess Travelcare Earned: 09/26/22 Expires: Sail By 12/31/23 I also have a Future Cruise Deposit whose expiration is listed as "Book By", so they work differently.

I know you won't get everything on the PrincessSuite_eFlyer file. Specifically, you definitely won't get "Balcony with upgraded patio furniture (two comfortable loungers, a table and two chairs)" in your suite.😉

I have wifi calling on at home and leave it on all the time (iPhone with AT&T). My home does not have a strong cell signal. When both wifi and cell are available, it picks the best signal. I always have a good connection at home even when the cell signal is weak. I suggest you try wifi calling at home. Activate wifi calling. Put you phone in airplane mode. Then connect to your home wife. Make and receive calls to verify that everything is working. If there are any problems, it's a lot easier to fix at home (with cell service available) than on the ship. Anytime you are outside the service area you are paying for, put your phone in airplane mode. Then connect to Medallion Net or hotel wifi. Then you do not need an overseas cell plan and your cell carrier will not charge you for overseas or shipboard calls. I have used wifi calling on ships and in foreign hotels with no problems.

There is often a $100 reduction when the cruise is first available. But it's only available for a limited time.

It may still be OK for an Alaska cruise with only one port in Canada. Each person needs to look at the coverage and their own situation.

I should clarify. This is what happened to me in the past (pre-pandemic). I can't guarantee Princess (or the ship) won't change this.

Yes.

No, the posted price of the drink needs to be under the package limit. With Plus, if the posted price is $15, then you pay nothing more. If the posted price is $16, then you pay the extra $1 plus the service charge on the extra $1 - not on the posted price.

The Princess Plus fare costs $60 per person per day. The Plus Beverage Package costs $76.69 per person per day ($64.99 plus 18% service charge). Assume that the second person does not drink any specialty tea or coffee, use wifi, order room service, or use anything else in the Plus package. Crew appreciation is $16 per person per day in an interior, oceanview, or balcony; $17 per person per day in a mini-suite or Reserve Collection mini-suite; or $18 per person per day in a suite. I assume that the second person will not cut this. Price per day for two people: With two Plus fares: $120 (two times $60) With one Plus beverage package in a balcony cabin: $108.69 ($76.69 plus two times $16) Savings by booking one Plus beverage package instead of two Plus fares: $11.31 I would think even without drinking any alcoholic beverages that the Plus fare would be worth more than $11.31 per day to the second person. However, if the second person will use absolutely nothing that isn't included in the basic fare, then I guess you could save $11.31 per day.

The only reliable answer you could get here would be from someone who took the same tour. You can get a better answer from the Shore Excursions desk on the ship than you can get from Princess in advance. If the excursion is not in the first couple of days of the cruise, ask the specific questions at the Shore Excursions desk before the cancellation deadline.

If you plan to use Princess EZAir, the two bookings give you more flexibility. You will then book two one-way flights - one to the ship for the first booking and one from the ship for the second booking. You can then change one flight if a better option or lower fare becomes available without touching the other one. If you book a round trip on a single booking, then you can't change just one direction later. Military or Shareholder OBC is $250 for one 14-night cruise or $200 total for two 7-night cruises, so that is a small saving for the 14-night cruise. As stated by others, Princess Plus casual dining or Princess Premier specialty restaurants give advantages to booking two 7-night cruises. The Elite minibar setup would be the same for both - you receive a new setup for each leg even if you don't book them separately. The cabin choice may be more important than any small savings from booking the other way.

I made my reservation two months in advance.

What to do in Greenock and South Queensferry depends a lot on when you are traveling. If you are there in August during the Tattoo, then I would highly recommend going to the Tattoo. You can either book the ship's tour (which you need to book way in advance) or arrange it on your own. Normally you would go to the Tattoo from Greenock (near Glasgow) - not from South Queensferry (near Edinburgh). South Queensferry is a tender port for most Princess ships, and they don't like tendering most of the passengers back to the ship at 1:00 am. Although Greenock is farther away, the ship is docked. You can tell whether an August itinerary is planned for the Tattoo before they list excursions. If the Tattoo is available, the ship will leave Greenock at 2:00 am to give people time to get back. That is the only reason they ever have the 2:00 am departure. Even if the ship is at South Queensferry during the Tattoo, you can't usually go from there. The ship leaves in the evening before the Tattoo starts. In addition to going to the Tattoo from Greenock, you need to plan what to do from South Queensferry. It is not a good time to go in to Edinburgh. Because of the Festival, Edinburgh is very, very crowded during that time. You may want to do something that doesn't actually go into the city. If you're not going to be there in August, then you can ignore everything I just wrote.

I have never been able to book a first night specialty restaurant reservation in the app using my complimentary suite dining. The app wants to charge me. I just booked first night on a cruise where I'm Premier and in suite. The app used my Premier credit with no problem, but the credit is now gone. I'm sure I will have no problem getting it back onboard.

You may or may not be able to change the "assigned" cabins for the passengers. I have no experience doing that. Perhaps someone else who has done it can provide more information. But just because someone did it on one ship doesn't necessarily mean that someone else can do it on another ship - Princess is not noted for consistency. However, you will certainly be able to change where the people actually sleep. It is easy to get them to authorize a specific medallion to open another cabin. This only takes a simple request to Guest Services with a person assigned to the other cabin present to authorize it. If they don't change the "assigned" cabins, then the folios will charge people based on their assigned cabins. It could be a problem if using the phone to order room service, since the charge would go to the cabin the phone call came from. It would not be a problem ordering in person ordering with the app, since a delivery would go to the room where the person actually is (based on medallion location) and the charge would go to the person logged in to the app.

Normally, Princess will allow a change to another cabin in the same category at no charge. I've done it several times (directly booked with Princess). The rules may be different for groups. If you have five or more cabins booked in a group, you should be getting some small group amenities. It may not be a good idea to tell other family members to use a different TA for this cruise. If you have eight or more cabins, you should be getting more substantial group amenities. However, all of the cabins have to be booked in a single group, which means they all have to be booked with the same TA. Another option would be to change one cabin only - not change the people in the other cabins. Once you are onboard, Princess does not care who sleeps in which cabin. You can ask Guest Services onboard to program one medallion to open the doors to more than one cabin - you have to have someone registered in the other cabin there to do that. You did not say what category your cabins are in. If you have two adjacent balcony cabins, you can ask the steward to open a door between the two balconies (except in a few cases where the cabins are in different areas of the ship.

The Island and the Coral are both midship just aft of the Piazza and the midship Panoramic Lifts. The Island is on the Plaza Deck (Deck 5) and the Coral is on the Fiesta Deck (Deck 6), If you are midship, then they would be the most convenient from your cabin. The Palm is at the stern on the Fiesta Deck (Deck 6). You cannot get there from the Piazza on Deck 6, because the galley is between the two dining rooms. The only way to get to the Palm is using the aft lifts or the aft stairs. This would probably be a longer walk from your midship cabin. The Palm was well-suited for traditional dining - not so much for people standing in line to enter. There is very little room for a line, so it can get rather crowded. If you like to get a drink at Vines or Good Spirits before dinner, than the Island would be more convenient. I like to get a glass of wine at Vines and carry it in to dinner, since Vines has a much better selection of wines by the glass than the dining room.

Some excursions are available only from Princess. For example, the cruise lines book all of the seats on the train excursions in Skagway. Reasons to book now: The excursion might sell out. Some do. The price may go up. That happens. If the price goes down, you can cancel and rebook - if there is space available. The only reason to wait is that you have to pay when you book for any excursions exceeding your onboard credit (OBC) balance. You will get a refund if you cancel, but you are tying up the money for now.
