Pizza being good is in the tastebuds. For ME MEH. Free was a good price now,no thank you. Pool pizza is just fine.

We stayed in mini deck 8 starboard in 2011. Never had issues with noise. 

Same issue. Still Not working as of 3:40 PM pacific.

Suite??

No Balcony or better. Have stayed in Suite twice. We have to fly to get to a cruise port and generally fly in day early.

I track my ALL of cruise costs start to finish. We spend $450 to $500. per day as couple. 

We did 10 day out of LA . La Paz is a dump. Stay on ship. Loreto was nice. Did a 10 day out of SF. Was nice 

Had a Princess rep call looking to book us with a cruise. Pricing is way higher for 7 day to Mexico in 2021 vs 2020. Cruising is not on our list for a vacation until a vaccine is available. For us cruising needs to be the way it used to be.

Tophat4321;  what month were you on Princess Cay?

Late March,2011

Rented a clam shell in the past and was very hot. Next trip to Princess Cay will stay on ship or rent bungalow.

Bean counters will have fun sorting this all out.

Here is my refund status as of 7:40 am June 20,2020.

First cruise April 18,2020 cancelled and refund requested March 12, 2020. Credit card company has refunded with conditional credit and returned money back to my checking account.  Princess has not refunded a nickel yet to account. FFC applied couple of weeks ago.

Second cruise May 31,2020. cancelled and refund requested April 16, 2020. Credit card company has refunded with conditional credit with the exception of $200.00 deposit. Today a Princess refund showed up on my CC that included the $200. deposit. So between conditional credits and Princess I am whole overall. Now I have a large credit on my CC which I am hoping the CC company will remove.

Now the head scratching part on how Princess is returning monies. Why would the May 31,2020 cruise be refunded by Princess before the April 18, 2020 cruise? 

Submitted claim for airfare for cancelled flight. Claim was denied as Alaska refund policy was $$ would be good until June 7,2021. Not a happy camper. I am not going to fly or cruise until vaccine is available.

Still waiting on a $200.00 deposit. Also Princess will not reimburse me for lost airfare as Alaska gave me until June 2021 of next year to use. Like I want to get into airplane before a vaccine. Not a happy camper.

Got most my cruises (2) credited back except for $200 deposit which I am sure will be coming soon. I filed dispute on all charges. Banning me? OK. 

I am waiting on refunds on two cruises. Never again will I book a cruise and layout that much $$$. There are other vacations that one could take with out such an outlay of funds. Me thinks cruising in the future will be more hassle and not much fun. 

Been on Island once. Never again. Newer ships for me.

I emailed my Princess rep today to see if still on payroll. Still is there.

60 days and nothing

Funny how cruise lines are talking about the extra cleaning they are NOW going to do. Maybe if ships were cleaned better there would not be as much NORO on the ships. All this talk about cleaning is just feel good and for govenrments. Once this passes cruise lines will back to the old ways of cleaning as the budget for "deep cleaning"will get cut.

OBTW I am still waiting for my refund for two cruises. I am not a happy cruiser.

Cashing in FF miles for flights has nothing to do with Princess.  Check with your airline.

My airline credited back my miles and airport fees today. WHEW glad i didn't have to try to get a refund from Princess.

It will be interesting to see how they refund for airline tickets paid with miles.

I contacted my CC company yesterday and disputed charges. They set up dispute and credited my account which showed up this AM for those charges. They informed me that they only go back 90 days for disputes. Dispute need to be resolved by Princess in 60 days. Good news I keep the money in my account for the disputed charges.

Don't know which parks/monuments you're planning to visit, but there have been closures per https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2020-03-26/appeals-grow-to-close-us-national-parks-during-pandemic.  As one can imagine it's difficult to adhere to the current rule of 6-ft separation near each park's highlights such as Mt. Rushmore in S. Dakota.

I am thinking that trip will be in late August or early September or stay in back yard and run naked!

Our vacation to Mexico was cancelled by Princess and the Alaska cruise is likely to be cancelled. I just want my $$ back.

I am concerned that the Princess name may be too tarnished to continue operations.  Holland America name now is being linked to the COVID. 

If we go anywhere soon it will be by car  to Montana/ South Dakota area if parks open?

I talked with my CC company.. If Princess doesn't deliver on what what I  purchased I will get credit back to account. Hope your credit card has this protection.
