Thank you.  It doesn't seem to fit when a person is talking about getting a refund of PVP.

 

Princess Vacation Protection … with CFAR

maybe time for Jan to take a break … ?

and who here believes realistically cruises will resume on May 11

Tea and scones at 4:00.  

looks like champagne and bacon night, here … maybe some cheese ...

all good here … safe and healthy so far … plenty of water, tp … might make a beer run tomorrow, might not 

yep, wouldn't be surprised if our late 11/20 cruise is in jeopardy

but glass is more than half-full it will still be a go - but may be to princess cay or amber cay instead of Cozumel, etc

Spring break is definitely over as is any travel to Miami since every single hotel in Miami-Dade county is ordered closed as of Monday 3/23!

closing all traffic to the Keys … Monroe County ?

leaving now - Port Everglades webcam and also Fort Lauderdale webcam from Pier 66 ?

edit - hardly any crew out on boards for sail-away … eerily quite ...

The Captain just informed us that we will leave Montevideo for Fort Lauderdale and is estimated to take 14 days.   Oh happy days...

is it still 'as normal' on the ship - shows ? casino ? bars ? trivia ? bingo ? free internet/phone ?

Re-fuel, re-supply ? - just crew only onboard, correct ? - currently scheduled to leave at 17:00 

will other Princess ships 'still in the area' do the same thing on a rotating basis ?

I am sitting in my home office, sipping on a Cold Beer that I poured into a Princess tumbler 

"come back new"

will have wine night tonight, not at Vines, but sitting overlooking our pool, sadly, not the ocean ...

but we scored a great cabin on this "cruise" - OWNERS SUITE !!

Thank you!!!!!! Glad someone else is looking forward instead of dwelling on not getting their refund quick enough.

or at all - the ignore poster ( not you, of course ) is a beautiful thing

April 4 cruise cancelled via phone with Princess rep on 3/9 and they stated refund in 10 days time.  I then filed for same refund on line using Princess's form on 3/17.  Received confirmation of receipt of form from Princess on the same day.  No further response from Princess.  We chose lower value option (1?) for full refund.  Zip, zero, nada from Princess as of today.

as been posted on Princess website and too many times on various threads … 60 days for fare refunds

how many Japanese were infected killed by contacting the virus from the Diamond passengers ?

Confining all those passengers on the Diamond for two weeks was a terrible and bad decision by the Japanese.

not for Japan it wasn't … j/s

the new eastern - 7 day cruise to Princess Cay from PE/FLL

the new western - 7 day cruise to Amber Cove from PE/FLL

then it really is about the ship ...

I am on the ship with a large group of British nationals, said to be c300 strong.

Princess will have to manage repatriation issues about non US nationals, i.e. entry/exit at USA is not an option due to border closures, so the UK (and other nationalities) need careful handling to avoid problems en-route home.

Currently alongside at Montevideo. Captain said anyone who has flights and want to go can do so tomorrow.

The ship is looking after us very well, and for anyone with no immediate need to travel, we’d rather stay here.

WELCOME TO CRUISE CRITIC !!!

YES !!!  and specialty coffees, non-alcoholic are also included 

yeah, and as of today … not real disappointed that our next booked cruise , on Princess of course , is not until 11/20

hopefully, maybe, somehow that may change, but not really counting on it as we have a beach vacation scheduled for July, and hoping that doesn't change ...

got a cruise booked for 12/21 - just self-upgraded from a high up IB to a Emerald Deck - Deluxe OB - cost me $ 10 pp 

yeah, took that and kept the best2dg ...

but that's a lonnnnnnnnnggggggggggg ways out

I think Princess and others are just saying enough - not having Ruby be another Diamond … get the passengers off and let someone else deal with it 

note also that the mini's have a shower/tub combo - which may or may not be a good thing … j/s

Are you saying I cannot sell in a joint brokerage account and repurchase in a Roth without avoiding the wash rule?

 

Edited to add: or do you mean that I should have subtracted OBC from my initial price lowering it so that my loss is price - OBC - dividends (already reported on 1099DIV) to get to net cost thereby lowering my loss? 😶

That is my understanding of the law. But i don't give tax advice on a public forum so as i said it is best to do your own research or consult a tax professional.

 

a review of (Rev. Rul. 2008-5) might be helpful as a starting point

now I know I've been a 'hard case' but I really the mods have been doing an excellent job of combining threads, and keeping existing threads mostly on track ...

I know, I know ...

You are listed on our Complimentary Upgrade List for booking ######.  We are able to automatically upgrade on cruises up to July 2020.  Maybe if confidence is still low they will extend the date.  I will let you know.

Buy a long sleeve Guayaberas 

been there , did that, on our Panama canal cruise when I was "almost" turned away from a mdr for having on a short sleeve TB silk shirt

Yeah. I just wish people would stop guessing what Princess will do and giving opinions as if they were facts.

Those of us that were on the 32 day ending in FLL, are pretty much on our own to figure how how to get from Argentina to our home. 

again, what is the reason given for not continuing on to FLL ?  Princess imposed timeout date ?
