No

feel like letting Princess hold some more of your money, with the chance of doubling it for a future cruise ?

it may still be on the Princess website , but it ain't happening ... I know it's after the 9/15 date, but do you really believe , one of the first Princess cruises will be a 19 day'er ?

paid in full yet ?

Realistically, and way optimistically , glass half-full to the max, the next Princess cruise(s) are 7 day west coastals on the Royal beginning 10/3 🥃🍷🍸🍻🦄🛸

Not a surprise. 

and maybe only a couple / few cruises from the West Coastal out of LA affected - if any at all

maybe start a new thread with this ? - not sure it affected many, if any Princess cruises ... maybe a couple of West Coast out of LA ?

Before the pandemic, a good percentage of the crew were going to be assigned to start up Enchanted Princess.  But now, I guess that could definitely change.  

 

I would love to see them again on Sky Princess also.

yeah, some of them had been on our April 2019 cruise on the CB, and they were talking then that there was a good chance

that they were going to the SKY ... and they did

yeah, it would be nice in November ( if it sails ) that at least some of the crew is the same as it was when we went on the USA 'inaugural v2.0' in December especially in Vines , Good Spirits, and Bellini's

sent to the breakers."

gutted , then sent to ocean bottom for dive sites maybe ?

for starters ... reduced capacity of passengers ... elevator operators on floors ... tenders aka water shuttles is an easy thing to just limit passengers

Purchase tokens with your cruise card in the laundry room to use the washers and dryers.

Pro Tip - pre-purchase your tokens so you don't wind up in the laundry room with your "stuff" only to find the token machine

out or out of order ... I believe you can also get tokens at the customer service desk

we also missed Crooners ... for some reason Take 5 just didn't "do it" for us ... maybe the timing was off 

hope to give it another shot at the end of November if it sails 

there's a great thread out there somewhere - I think it was Colo Cruiser - that did a live from on the inaugural TA - maybe someone can find and link that

So it is not as if suddenly CCL Corp decided to sell some ships.

I'm looking for the notice that CCL Corp is "sailing" some ships ... again 

wonder when the next group of cancellations will come out ... maybe after CDC lets the current ban expire ( 7/19 or so ?)

or extends the ban - hopefully not another 100 days

but even then , ports have to reopen ... 

yes, multiple threads on that...

Good Luck on that 1/21 cruise !! - I'd guess for international travelers like us, the chances of that cruise would

be Slim  and None ... and Slim has left the building !!

November 10, 2020 - November 16, 2020 - November 29, 2020.  33 days: Southern Australia/New Zealand/Queensland. Not going to happen.

use those gift cards and then get double their value ( current ) if Princess cancels the cruise and you are not paid in full 

Gaming the System !!! 🤑

Aren't all booking 'perks' gone at this time , being replaced now by Princess Plus ?

but not the amount of OBC associated with that FCD

doesn't that 'go-away' until you re-book another cruise ?

GAH! I despise "festive hats" and things of that sort. I'd still likely eat in MDR though as the specialty restaurants don't make sense for someone like me who can't eat a large meal.

 

As for the balloon drop... I've never understood the fascination folks have for the balloon drop. It's a madhouse of people crammed together and the balloons are all popped in a very short time. What's the deal?

I used to think there must have been some coupons in the balloons for champagne, free drinks, OBC, ...🦄

What strategy will you be using in a cruiseship elevator?

 

 

 

stairs

have you considered booking Princess Plus ?

can soda not covered by package

not cruising, but NASCAR will hold an "All-Star Race" - non-points - 7/15/20 in Bristol Tennessee

the short-track speedway holds 150k people and will allow 20% of seats to be occupied = 30k fans in the stands.

baby steps YEE-HAW !!🏁

my cruise personalizer is still showing the old policy, in our case 75 days ( short cruise ) … if I go thru a dummy booking all the way is shows 60 days final deposit date

ok, updated as of today to the 60 day due date
