Never could understand why people would accept move overs for a future cruise.
3 hours ago, Grego said:What bothers me are the trolls out there that just try to game the system for a couple of bucks.
Our moveover - we're very fortunate and flexible - others, not so much
moved from 5 day western on Crown to 7 day eastern on Regal . got MO offer on a Monday before to leave on Sunday, then actually left the next Sunday for the 7 day … NO additional OOP costs for moving the 5 to 7, and had almost $ 1,000 refundable OBC - yeah , that sucked, huh ?
" game the system " ? - well, I do think of it as a game I play with the house rules , not mine

They are all talking about re-opening. They are mentioning passengers by air, and land tourism, but I could not find any mention about plans to open to cruise ships.
Do you see any mention of cruise ships in the article?

stop giving Captain's Circle credit for cruises of less than 7 days.
that would be outrageous !!!
what about all the west coasters that take the 1-2 day repo cruises sailing solo in a suite ??? that's 3 credits 🤑
we'd lose 8 cruise credits !!!

how about a stand alone CFAR policy - no medical, no evacuation... it would strictly be a policy that provides FCC only since
"insurance" is not involved ?

shame you can't have it both ways ...

One positive is we now have 2 cruises almost paid for, $200 balance owing so we can take advantage of any fare changes.
is that a NZ thing ? that if you are paid in full, you can't re-fare or is that your TA thing ?

Once I’ve loaded all of the required information on the “Ocean Ready App” & have my Medallion do I still have to go to the check-in desk at the pier or can I go onboard once they start boarding?
Anyone had any problems using the Medallion & if so what did you do?
Thanks!
Tom😀
you will be directed as to which line to get into if you have the OM in hand
at least that's the way it is in the cruise capital of the world that we use ...🤑🦄🥃… for our wonderful, exotic, long weekend cruises to the beautiful Caribbean islands !! ⛱️🐬🎲🍷🍻

she lucked out big time and fell under Double the Deposit in FCC.
that's the game I may play with a cruise for late November …
Spin the wheel … when does Princess cancel ??? before final, so double amount paid comes into play, and if so , how far in advance of final ??
or, after final, and the 25% FCC 'bonus' ??

I'll take a stab at it and be corrected if I'm wrong. 300 in fees/taxes are refunded. 100 in FCC will rollover as an FCC. 900 cash paid by you will be increased by 25% and issued as a new FCC.
if that's the case … then I'll just pay up to the amount of the cruise fare before final deposit - which will now be 60 days ...
1) Princess cancels before final - I'll get double amount paid on cruise fare as FCC
2) Princess cancels after final - then I have to decide if 25% bonus FCC ( $ 225 ) is better than a full refund ...

we've gone back and forth about going to the mdr - we do like the sit down service, and generally are not in any hurry, but certainly don't want a 2 hour dinner, so we ALWAYS get a two-top ...
not to hijack, but on our next 'scheduled' cruise, we have a balcony on the SKY … big enough to have a UBD ( ultimate balcony dinner ) ?? we've never done it before, so ...

Do the sell wine BTG in Sabatini's and Crown? If so, is it covered by my PBP?
yes - up to and including wines that cost $ 12 per glass
if your ship has a Vines - that is the wine bar with better selections, and the PBP also works in there

So possibly not too much of a price increase to be included in cruise fare.
17 minutes ago, Tedferg said:don't like this 'Availability for the specialty restaurants would be based on Captain's Club level and cabin level.' Perhaps another premium layer like current Plus to include Specialty restaurants
currently Princess Plus is priced at $ 40 pp pd … so how much can you add to that … and wouldn't that create an over-capacity in the specialty restaurants ? or is my way of thinking that ' a lot ' of people get the Plus Package … if any of this even makes any sense ...

The stock market recovery means there will still be disposable investment income which is what fuels the many of us being able to cruise. As to Covid-19, we are still at 5 cases no deaths. Social distancing with masks works. It will be interesting to see what my April 2021 cruise looks like .... that's the 1st of my replacement cruises. But then I see the world as 'glass half full' not pessimisticly
Here's the link. There's 35 slides total on Presentation #6 pdf (which is where I copied 1 from) and 7 presentations
I must be reading something wrong … unless it is better NOT to be paid in full, but be paid up to the full "FARE" amount . to get double the amount paid … whereas paid in full only gets you a 25% bonus , or is that cruise fare + 100% FCC + 25% bonus FCC ?

If you already have a policy booked for a future cruise and it doesn't include CFAR, can you add PVP Platinum even after months have passed since booking the trip?
per Princess website ...
Princess Vacation Protection can be purchased while booking your next cruise vacation on princess.com, by contacting your travel agent, by calling 1-800-PRINCESS, or on Cruise Personalizer. It is available for purchase up until final payment for your trip on all Princess Cruises, Princess Cruisetours, Princess Alaska Land Tours and Princess Canadian Rockies Land Tours, and is available at two levels: Standard or Platinum. Princess Vacation Protection is not in effect until the plan cost has been paid to Princess in addition to any required cruise deposits or payments.

i keep going back and forth with myself over what I want to do as far as sending Princess any more money at this time ...
now ours is just a little cruise at the end of November with a maximum exposure of about $ 1,400 including port fees, taxes , and Platinum PVP with CFAR … with a current balance due of $ 1,000 , which we have in our 'cruise account' plus a little more for incidentals on the cruise
looking at future cruises in 2021, they are definitely a lot more that what we are currently paying on a per day basis for the same type cabin, and basically the same itinerary … at least 50% more and some double … so double the amount paid would be nice, of course ...
we wouldn't be financially devastated if the entire thing goes south , so we got that going for us
I dunno

What is the break even point for the Cruise Lines. I think it is more then 25%. Will not be sailing ships unless they make money.
these 25% cruises are not designed to "make money" … rather, stop the bleeding, show cruises 'can' be safe , and regain consumer confidence

Here is the problem w both of your point -
1) the current rapid tests have a large number of false negatives and until they are improved they are not worth much
2) Numerous studies have shown that the thermal scans miss far more people who have Covid than they find and are also worthless.
DON
of course … there will NEVER be a 100% accuracy of ANY KIND OF TESTING, DUH !!!!!
I'm will to take that risk … clearly others are not
I don't plan to live in a bubble the rest of my life

you 'can' but why ? - you have to pay for those cans on Princess Cay, just like on the ship
