I also had to check the box to send us promotions via email.

same here ... birthdate correct, but had to check the box for emails ... huh ...

didn't mean to shut the whole board down ??? ⛱️

that's why Best. Sale. Ever. ( Best2DG ) was better than Princess Plus for us low internet users ... like someone posted above

at least when onboard ...

sometimes we make decisions that don't work out as we planned .

we've got a little cruise booked December 2021 - we've received nada from Princess

how does Princess apply payments when a cruise is not paid in full ?

cruise fare

port fees and taxes

insurance 

is there any order ( trying to see how much FCC we may get back doubled , hopefully not overthinking this as we paid 

$ 900 on a cruise fare of $ 1,050 ) 

I'll just stick with our "double your payment" as FCC if not paid in full ... so we doubled down and turned $ 900 into $ 1,800 FCC

not sure yet how Princess will treat the $ 100 FCC we had applied that they 'gave us' when we changed promotions from

NRD to a refundable deposit ...

I know, I know ... not worth my time, blah, blah, blah

So Blue is now for a first time cruiser on a medallion class Princess ship. Correct?

no

first time cruisers on Princess either get a "blue card" ( non-medallion ships ) or a blue color medallion

I did read where the original ones were all Blue. Not sure if they no longer use blue. It sounds like they do not. The Blue of course is Princess colors Blue and White.

i believe that is correct - all "medallions" were blue and you could buy inserts to show your actual captain's circle level

that has changed as I'm sure the "elitest / black color level highest captain's circle level couldn't accept having a "blue" medallion

but "blue" is associated with a first cruise on Princess cruiser

Thanks for your help, 

 

How does the medallion work then, is it a replacement for your key card?

 

thanks

yes

9. Due to obstacles with commercial travel thus far, what pre-arrangements should cruise ship operators make with the airline industry to accept crew and passengers from ships not affected by COVID-19?

huh ?

we spent more time in Vines on the SKY, since there was no Crooner's - Take 5 just didn't do it for us

Julius, Ajay and the others took very good care of us in Vines... as did Junela in Good Spirits and Bellini's

25. Due to the costs associated with seeking medical care on board, and the likelihood that sick passengers will be isolated and their travel companions quarantined for the remainder of their voyage, how should cruise ship operators encourage passengers to notify the medical center when they experience COVID-19 symptoms?

moved to an open suite, mini, deluxe balcony, balcony if needed

unlimited room service including specialty restaurant menus

unlimited room service bar service ...

unlimited internet ( device provided if needed ) and phone calls

ellie1145; I have a trivia question for you.  What is on the Big Mac Sandwich.  In the US; McDonalds had a jingle which included all the ingredients;  so go for it.  Good luck

2 all ...

you could have asked what's included in a chili 5-way to give it some local color to where you live ...

but I digress ... trivia questions belong in the Float-away lounge ...

I hope it doesn't come to that, but living in denial and magical thinking won't make anything better.  

my glass always has been / still is / and will be half full thru all of this ...🥃 ... I refuse to wallow in pessimism 

no pollyanna here, but still remain optimistic that cruising will return - in fact it already has ... just not for us right now

according to their website; they are open today.  If for some reason you called and the voice recording said they are closed Sundays; the online chat could also be offline until Monday

per your own link 1-800-PRINCESS is closed on Sundays ( Sales - different # is open )

Chat just popped up when I went to login to Princess website, but Chat seems really hit or miss to when it is available

1) - the first one - Diamond Princess to Alaska ( 2007 )

2) - the last one

3) - the next one

I guess the TAs could also have applied for those loans.

facts and circumstances would determine for all ... are TA's 'employee's' or independent contractors ?

I booked a cruise from a large internet TA back. In October because I was enticed by all the OBC they were giving.  I knew there was $100 cancellation fee but never in a million years would I think I would cancel.  My final payment is due August 23 but I'm not comfortable with cruising yet so will probably cancel.  They said they would give me a voucher to book another cruise but now their cancellation fee is $100 per person.  I'm so sorry I got involved with them.  I might just forfeit that $100 and use it as a lesson well learned.

maybe they can pay that OBC by re-cooping funds from people who book, but then cancel ??
