i will not use their air service ever again that's the lesson i learned. i am flying in the day before. Princess's Failing is they are receiving a commission they should earn it when issues arise. Also they received a refund, they should forward it to me without waiting too long. i likely would have been stuck in San Francisco for 2 days, i mitigated my losses by taking quick action

i sailed on holiday crown princess sailing from 12/22/2023-01/07/2024 the cruise overall was fine as expected the overall crew service is exceptional. my ongoing issue is "Princess Easy Air" we had r/t tickets on Alaska Air from Las Vegas to San Francisco flying in on 12/21/2023 returning 01/07/2024. The problem happened when the 737-900 Max was grounded, and the failure of Princess Air to Assist people trying to get home after the cruise is over, I called " Princess Air " when this news broke, to see if they could help finding other ways to get home. they were not aware of the problem. Alaska air thought they could have enough planes cleared to fly it might work out. on Sunday 01/07/2024 about 01:30 am i was getting text alerts about my flight cancellation. I got up quickly attempted to call "Princess Air " and would be hold a long time, in addition to trying to call Alaska Airlines as i realized the later flights were on the same aircraft that was grounded. i called southwest airlines got a rep within 5 minutes they had direct flights on a different aircraft and i quickly bought 2 tickets home. when i got home i dealt with Alaska Airlines through the "Chat Function" The rep put in for the refund and gave us a $250.00 per person flight credit for future travel on Alaska Airlines. when Alaska Airlines issued the Credit (which is slightly more then the tickets i bought on Southwest Airlines) was issued to princess air, which i had a princess rep send an email with the exact dollar amount, my booking number and in information of refund paid by Alaska Airlines, on 01/16/2024. Bottom line is Princess Air Receives a commission for providing a service and they failed to provide that service. i do feel strongly that i will get the refund that Alaska Airlines paid Princess Air will be forwarded to me. What i Learned is to Either book directly or us Princess Air until Closer to the sailing date cxl/ Princess Air and buy my own tickets going in at least 1 day before

Question for those that have done Hawaii from West Coast Departure
simong replied to mommycruiser's topic in Princess Cruises
the crown princess sails 12/22 returns on 1/7 i will be sailing too enjoy -
princess like every other business, is going to exploit the opportunity to add to their bottom line as people have no regard for their financial well being going totally off kilter borrowing to go on trips which are fine if folks can afford them , hotels and other forms of travel are out of site. we need a recession to correct this, and i am adjusting my travel plans like other cruise lines since princess no longer values loyal cruisers. That was coming gradually for a while now. they want new cruisers whom will spend money on more profitable areas vs experienced cruisers. bottom line find your best value for your personal travel needs

Insurance - Yearly Policy vs Individual Cruise Coverage
simong replied to Traveler1977's topic in Cruise/Travel Insurance
geo blue trekker has some medical evacuation coverage. and medical coverage outside the us, chase sapphire preferred has some cxl coverage. the big risks are medical evacuation, and treatment outside the us. they are considered 2nd ary coverage. read geo blue terms and conditions not what the people selling it are saying, i like the fact several trips can be covered for a 1 year policy -
its $3.00 for wash $3.00 for dry and$1.50 for soap tokens sold at machines charged to your ship account
-
it looks like a good plan to cover the major risks: medical evacuation if necessary and being stuck in a foreign hospital
-
a rep from the insurance from the insurance agency on this site and geo blue web site
-
looking at a 1 year plan,covering 3 cruises. i realize its 2ndary behind primary which is medicare and supplement, i also have chase sapphire preferred and with medicare supplement the plan i am looking 500k medical coverage 250k medical evacuation. those are the major risks

Price Rises: Gratuities, Wifi, Medallion Shipping 🤑💰
simong replied to Jadn13's topic in Princess Cruises
time to look at other lines, i don't think these price increases will stick as the economy will likely hit a brick wall. also i am 2 cruises from the top tier 1 will be the holiday hawaii cruise 1 next year. i expect business to fall off. and more lines will match tiers -
does princess cut people off the casino rate if they don't play a certain amount. or are the reducing or eliminating the cruise discount

"Live" Regal Princess, Oct 26 to Dec 2, Rome to Ft Lauderdale
simong replied to LACruiser88's topic in Princess Cruises
sounds like a great cruise enjoy -
all you are going to find are bad games, the only thing good about the ship casino is restrooms near by
-
i would not leave the ship to take the test as if someone is positive and needs to quarantine the issue if princess keeps its word on covering costs vs taking legal action, they already broke their word on administering the tests, once my July Alaska and December hawaii cruise are completed i will Not sail with them again
