  1. Interesting. I wonder why the 12.5% supposed increase? Or, could be a bug.
  2. That's what I was wondering. Of course, PCL could do better and actually include the currency code when not in USD. ETA: I just caught up on this page and I see that it was not an AUS voyage, so some other kind of error.
  3. I'm not in charge here, but there are 2-3 pages of posts that belong in the sticky for the new App. May I suggest we all post new App info in the new App thread and this thread (likely to be locked when the old App is retired) be used just for the old App?
  4. No doubt PCL wants guests to enroll in this, but we should not be forced to.
  5. Hopefully, we can get a new sticky going, exclusive for the new version of App.
  6. I hope the new App is smarter. Sure, it makes sense to merge X nbr of B2B's in the App, but when there is a cabin change, or category change, it ought to indicate that. They had a lot of gaps in design and programming for multiple voyages, whether B2B or not, and it will be interesting to see if they fixed any of that because quite a number of guests do book multiple voyages. Or let's say a good portion of loyal long term guests do so and seems to me I'd want to keep them coming back and talk it up to friends.
  7. I have noticed I am Blue for all year (since last voyage). I think that is dumb, but I am thinking it would correct back if I had an active booking. IDK yet, but plan to make a fake booking in order to check out the new App (I mean I have FCDs and would just self-book and then cancel later after playing with it).\
  8. @Host CJSKIDS, may I suggest that this is the time for a new sticky and this thread either merge with the old #3, or be left for the old version of the App and a separate thread for the new App just released because the interface, questions and any issues will be different. Once the old App is retired (end Feb I think), you can lock the old App thread. Happy New Year, BTW, and thanks for all your work and contributions on our Forum. New thread for new App begins with Post #147.
  9. I think they put out a whole new App so that it starts fresh and they have lost all the terrible review ratings in the Play Store. At least it installed cleanly. There is hope in Mudville tonight!
  10. Eligible guests will have a printed notice in the cabin with the times and location for each day of the voyage. It typically includes if there is a theme to the provided noshes.
  11. That is a different issue because that BB store either is not allowed to participate by PCL or they do not allow their customers to participate. Whichever, it's a reason not to use them.
  12. By the time you read responses here, you could have done both. I would begin with the CVP you booked with which means no overseas call center. They should be able to clean up or advise on the duplicate. Be prepared to redo your dining, but do it just seconds after the bad booking is gone.
  13. I like your guesses. In the past, Island has also done S.A. tours, so Coral might get that for the longer voyages. I wish PCL would load up the full circle S.A. navigation again. They might just try out Sapphire for a WC. That would be interesting for sure. But, Sapphire has also been doing S.A., so I would put a dollar on Coral for WC and Sapphire for S.A.
  14. Ahh.. I think I did read that about Crown.
  15. Also, they wouldn't be able to fill a big ship for a WC. The Coral has been doing WC's as well from Sydney. Maybe one year, they will decide to swap them and N.A. might get the Coral for the FLL/LAX WC's.
  16. You are not the first one this has happened to. I have read many posts reporting this phenomenon and then it all comes back the next day or so.
  17. What @wallyj said, but I also think any passenger will have more difficulty and lower priority when trying to upgrade on a codeshare. Forget EzAir for a moment. If you are a UA FF, can you normally upgrade on a codeshare flying LH equipment? I would expect LH FF members are going to get first dibs on any available seats. Can you not book UA on the route? EzAir won't be involved in airline upgrades, so don't bother asking them. You book the class you want and then it is up to airline rules and policy. Sometimes, you will be able to either bid or purchase upgraded seat or cabin on airline website after booking thru EzAir. Again, it depends on airline - and ticket class I expect. Bottom line, if you want something to happen, don't book a codeshare. Is it really that much cheaper? Often I find booking with the operating airline is less. I never book a codeshare unless no other choice or dollars are significant. You are often a second class citizen as a codeshare customer versus their own customers.
  18. I am wondering if the overseas group is looking at either wrong prices and don't understand what they see in POLAR, or if they do see some lower price but do not check if valid for the guest they have on the phone. Then, when they book it, POLAR is either rejecting the fare code or replacing it with a valid one to correct the error. Then, rep on phone either doesn't notice or just shuts up in effort to keep the booking. As both a guest and a shareholder, this is outrageous and I am left SMH. Other companies with overseas support centers I have dealt with always have their own people handling the critical sales roles. How much more business is PCL losing with the incompetence? JP is really trying to turn PCL into a MM operation.
