we will be on the CB again in a month - and if it is like our last cruise on the CB - it 'may' be the last cruise on the CB - severe understaffing issues shouldn't take a year to correct. If not, then Princess is just saying ***** the customers - they can take it or not - we're sailing at capacity... after this cruise, we have one more currently booked - on SUN P in Fall 2024. getting closer to being priced out now - but it is still really nice to drive/fly - unpack once - ...

Princess is a business, sorry - and back to sailing at near capacity and higher rates

just saw on the news that passport renewal is down about 2 weeks now from prior due to increased staff.

blame Princess with your wallet. EOD - lock it up

Upon further review - the above posting about emails back is reversed! This was the Move Over we couldn't make work ... and it seems like 'something' happened soon after that ... hmmm We got this email on 12/2 for the 12/4 cruise Thank you for your attention to this notification.

we will prolly take the cruise without 'an offer' - it's just a little 5 day out of PE going to PCay and Grand Turk. But also wouldn't mind taking and applying a 'free cruise and fare back as refundable OBC, and applying it to a cruise on the SUN P in 2024

Both

we've had 2 'Move Over' offers previously - took one, couldn't make the other one work for us. Yes, both times by email, and I responded by email. Both times - NOT requested ... just happened. I thought a previous poster , posted an email address that you could send a message to, letting "them" know you would be very interested in receiving one. maybe not ...

on a cruise that is within 30 days now - and is showing as 'Currently not Available' for price check or booking, at least on the Princess website. Didn't someone post an email address about this previously?

that's really kind of a sad way to look at it. "full advantage"??? - max out the 15??? - nah ... 'breakeven' is 2-3 alcohol drinks - that's the 'benchmark' to see if a package works for us and it always does ...

I am happy for those of you who follow this lifestyle. As long as it is 'in addition to' and not as a 'substitute for' regular mdr meats, fishes, potato, all is good. Fettuccini with walnut sauce would be the only thing I might consider.

our Regal formal night - long sleeved, button down casual shirt - untucked, black linen pants, black on black leather tennis shoes. No jacket, no tie, no problem. Hope that helps

$6 per box now - with a $5 bottle of screw off cab - $11 meal, not bad

we most always that a 'double roadie' from Vines into the mdr

$150 is the new $50 ... just like going to a grocery store ... used to be $40-50 ... now it's $100-110

kids on barstools? - nah - 'unless' there are still plenty of stools for paying adults. I better not be behind a kid on a barstool in Crooner's trying to get a double single malt

sales? obc in some form category upgrade reduced deposit - $1 may never be seen again?

see you on board on Halloween

also discussed many times, is that gifts are in addition to, not in lieu of cash. we will give cash and a gift. if we decide not to give a gift for some reason, we will NOT be increasing the cash.

seems to me at least, based on the numerous threads the OP has started, the OP booked a basic 7 day cruise, and is now trying to add to that with transfers and lodges

book the rail, not the bus

I was thinking Scion XB - those little boxy cars - neighbor had a couple - didn't last long

and no Vines on the new builds ...

Non-refundable deposit?

I'll be up at six in the morning and place towels, and a book on those great table/chairs on the promenade
