So your advice is no internet rather then sharing? Thanks. Sure do. Thanks

Exactly. DW and I switched back and forth on the Sky. Worked great and the speed was impressive.

How is the bidding system doing? Any comments?
richstowe replied to Bwana Tom's topic in Princess Cruises
We did not bid for an upgrade on our recent Sky cruise previously booking a deluxe balcony guarantee because it was cheaper then choosing a regular balcony. I figured we couldn't lose. We waited and waited receiving our cabin only 60 hours before sailing but the wait was worth it as we got a great premium deluxe balcony. This was a savings of more then $400 for us from original booking time. Very glad we didn't bid. -
Any news?

You sound like you are doing what you should. You should have specific cabins in mind when they get back to you specifically a better OZ cabin.

So you believe the cards you get are negatively affected by prior cards? If you believe in odds, eventually the positive will balance out the negative. Bad play should make no difference. Short term it can just as easily help.🃏

Discuss Implementation of Smoking Policy
richstowe replied to CC Help Michell's topic in Princess Cruises
We were on the Sky last week. Great cruise except for the smoking in the casino. It was a special cruise perk for heavy gamblers, supposedly 450 of them. Who would have guessed that heavy gamblers are also heavy smokers (and drinkers and eaters)? First time in many cruises that I didn't gamble at all. -
Why? Dumb play has no effect on your cards. Bad players can be ausing Just got off the Sky. We had extra OBC and deposited $100 into the slot account and cashed out after 2 spins. Very easy.

Oh boy . I'd pay to see that. DW would pay to not see that.

Minimum of 8 Cdn which after tax and tip converted to US is you guessed it, $8 . This was the cheapest I found -
C'mon Princess - issues with itinerary change
richstowe replied to nbsjcruiser's topic in Princess Cruises
Well another cruise changed. Our March 2 , Roatan March 5 , has had our Mahogany Bay changed to Coxen hole . We like West Bay but were looking forward to MB. Yeah, I remember taking a private tour in a mini-van and the big buses were horribly stuck in traffic . We got to West Bay an hour before the cruise-ship tours. I was wondering about this. -
Did you ask for faster service? I've found that if you tell the wait staff your desires up front , they will do their best to accommodate you . I've rarely been disappointed.

Given this is CCL's spin on their financial position , not an analyst's, I'm not convinced that the company future is assured. Are occupancy rates above 100% reasonable long-term or even mid-term ?

So this is the straw that broke the camels back ? I'm not sure why. At 6.25 a day, as you share a single plan, it isn't much of a burden especially as Starlink is supposed to be much better then before. Everything has gone way up but at least this is a better product. I can't say the same for my AC flights, gratuities, pre-cruise hotels and on and on. All cruise costs have exploded but the 60% jump here is huge so I get your annoyance.

With some trouble I just received my Princess OBC though Stockperks. Originally applied directly on-line though Princess and they replied telling me to apply through Stockperks. I downloaded the app which just wouldn't open on my new Android phone. My wife was able to download though her i-Phone after some glitching. We uploaded a redacted pic of our account last Thursday and received an e-mail acknowledgement . Today, one week later we got an email telling us "Your TD Webbroker proof of ownership was validated.". We went into the app and submitted the cruise booking # and date and again received immediate confirmation. We then had to apply the credit to Princess on the app. Voila the OBC appeared in our booking. Not entirely painless but I like the fact that supposedly proof of stock ownership is held for a year and future requests to all CCL brands should be easier. I hope. 🤞

Save a bit of your vent for your TA. They should have known and informed their clients.

richstowe replied to Bwana Tom's topic in Princess Cruises
Sometimes sold out doesn't stay that way. I've been on multiple cruises where there were no cabins available for balcony say and then a day or so later there were. Ours is not to reason why . -
I had no idea that Maslow needed to cruise .
-
The old prices are still there . I guess today's the last day .
-
This works . Shouldn't have to do it this way but ......

Specifically go to the Profile tab then MedallionNet Wi-Fi and choose either the single or multi device options.
-
Yup! Just purchased single device for my upcoming cruise. And this is why CC is still useful ! Excellent advice .

I am very willing to stay on the phone for the "quick survey" so as to properly give feedback for reps like this . 👎
