Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. You will likely find availability if you book it as two seven day back to back cruises.
  2. We were on the June 23rd Crown Princess sailing and also were very disappointed that we sailed west of Vancouver Island on the return to Vancouver. Northbound out of Vancouver we did go inland but the problem is that since you depart Vancouver in the afternoon is almost dark by the time you get to Seymour Narrows and by morning most of the inland passage is done. Southbound on the last day it is daylight for most of the passage...at least up until Seymour. I agree it is one on the best days of the trip and a beautiful way to end the cruise. I have been to Alaska on 5 or 6 cruises and this is the first time we have gone west of Vancouver Island. I'm sure it is an easier day for the Bridge to be out in the open ocean and probably cheaper for princess, but I feel that the advertising maps are bait and switch. From here on out I will be sticking with Holland America since I think they are more reliably sailing the inside route from Vancouver.
  3. Hi Coral, I see from a ship tracker that you sailed on the west side of Vancouver Island from Ketchikan to Victoria. Was that a surprise since the Princess booking maps show a route between Vancouver Island and the mainland in both directions?
  4. Thanks Coquitlam Cruiser that looks like a great option and considerably less expensive than Canada Place parking!
  5. Does anyone have suggestions for parking in Vancouver for the duration of an 11 day cruise. I have always parked at Canada Place in the past but unfortunately they are full and not taking reservations. Thanks.
  6. Pricing now up for me too. You have to be signed in.
  7. Hi Expo67, I was wondering if you were able to stay in VB4154 for your June cruise?
  8. Here is an update to our situation: We sailed in December 2021 on the Ruby and had about $800 in refundable OBC. We have not yet received the refund but believe it has been resolved. We had contacted Customer Support thru the Princess website numerous times with no response other than they received our request and would respond when they could. We also called once (in March) and were told that the refund would be on our Credit card within the week (that never happened). Someone suggested doing a "Live Chat" from the website which I tried last week. (took less than 5 minutes to get connected to a live person). The rep looked up our booking number and told me a credit to a credit card ending in **** had been processed in January. The problem was I do not have a credit card ending in those digits. He was kind of vague when I asked him the name on the credit card but kept suggesting I contact our travel agent. i contacted the TA (which I should've done first) and sent them a copy of the Chat. They responded that yes, the card ending in **** was their card that they used to purchase OBC for clients and that the refund had been posted to their account in January. They are sending me a check. I don't know what happened at the travel agency but the agent we were using left the company about that time. I don't believe that anything nefarious was going on at the TA but somehow it fell through the cracks (granted it should not have if they had been reconciling that account). Anyway, the purpose of this post is to give others a possible avenue of action if you received OBC from a TA and have not received your refund. I guess it makes sense that Princess would make the refund to the card that was originally used to purchase the OBC.
  9. Hi 13cheermom, could you let me know how you got through to the correct department? And what the name of that department is. We have been waiting for over 4 months (our Ruby cruise ended December 17th) for a refund of our over $800 refundable OBC! Thanks>
  10. I agree it looks nice, but it doesn’t provide the ability to search for a specific cabin that may be available but not shown. My experience has been that HAL shows about 10 cabins to pick from even though a few or many more are actually available. The old format gave me the ability to search and see if my favorite cabin was available. The work around is to go to big TA site that typically shows all available cabins.
  11. Are you using Safari on an iPad? from what i can tell as of now the "new format" is unique to safari on an iPad. I am still able to access the ability to search for a specific cabin not shown as available if I use Chrome on my iPad or Safari or Chrome on my MacBook.
