I take reviews with a grain of salt.

One person on a cruise has those concerning comments and another on the same cruise will have the best time of their cruise history and the ship is in pristine condition.  🙄

Have sailed the Coral many times. I don't think you will be disappointed.

She is one of my favorites.

gets out salt shaker ...

we bring enough 5's and 1's ( mostly 1's ) to provide about $ 10-20 per day for on board bribes and tips ... we do tend to over tip bar staff and stewart ( depending ) ...

then go from there for excursion tips, misc straw market "stuff" ...

Prolly follows you on CC.  

she wouldn't be the first...

maybe if she had followed this thread, she would have seen that other 'more valuable' cruisers have been able

to book it for their 3 day cruises ...

Sent them to my TA on Sunday night and received auto reply that she was away till the 30th.

with no backup relief ? - wonderful ...

guess you might need to work your cruises around her/his schedule ?

Try an email to the customer relations address. As I mentioned, I never got a response but it was shortly after sending that the package suddenly appeared back in my personalizer. Might just have been coincidence, but worth a shot?

guess I'll have to ... my PVP 'fired' me for questioning her availability on weekends !...

Our website doesn’t always have the most update information, but I have confirmed these terms and conditions based on your inquiry. 

Also, the terms and conditions for Australia based cruises has changed to be available to pre purchase the PBP. 

There’s no direct number for the inventory department so they can flag your booking or member account, because this is an internal department that will reach out to our guests as need be for voyages. 

Since you are not incline to await my response or my service during my available work hours, then you are welcome to contact 800-princess at any time for immediate assistance. 

I will withdraw my complimentary services as your cruise planner as I have other guest that are awaiting a response from me directly. Thank you for your business and we appreciate your loyalty to Princess Cruises.

81 during the day ... down to 79 before bedtime ... turn down to 78 first thing when up ... then gradually back up to 81 if staying in house all day, or reset to 81 if going out ...

get hot ? - just walk outside for a couple of minutes ... then come back inside to the 'cool' 81 degrees

yes, but be aware there is an auto-tip/gratuity added to the bill ...

I would definitely point out the actual terms listed to your PVP.

I did ... haven't heard back ... don't really expect to

I'm on a 3 day in September on Royal. Prior to the new drink packages, the package was available and I had it in my cart (not paid for). After the new drink packages, I went into the cart to pay for it and it said not available. It then disappeared from the personalizer. I emailed customer relations (never heard back directly) about it, and sent them the wording from the policy. Last week I went into personalizer and the package is there! I also have it showing on a 3 day cruise I have booked for August 2020....

email just now from my newly assigned PVP ... and it is NOT showing in our personalizer for a 3 day

in December 2019

The Premier Beverage Package is only available to purchase pre cruise on voyages that are four days or longer.

The package is NOT available for voyages under seven nights for Australian-based itineraries, or voyages two nights or under for all other itineraries.

Hmmm ... "pre cruise" - well, if we don't know prior to boarding, we will be bringing our own "PBP" ...

So, now the question that I imagine will generate great controversy and debate:  11:00 flight out of FLL reasonable?  Carrying on, pre-check, domestic, and coming off a Caribbean cruise (not Europe/SA).

EZ-Air ?

I'm entrusting large sums of money to convey me safely through a hostile environment.   

I know they make a 'killer bellini", but it's not that bad of an environment on the ship, and I wouldn't consider it a large sum of money to purchase one ...

I have a Google Doc that I created for my Roll Call that contains information that may be difficult to find at the Princess website. They have a very poor search function. What do you think I can add and where would I find the info? Click link below.

link ?  I've blocked all signatures ... not really interested in humble brags ...

I don't think that it is correct that just because you want to diminish your experience...  you should be able to affect all of the others.  Enjoy every one of your cruises...  make them a very memorable experience and don't be the odd man out!!!!

are you implying that the way I CHOOSE to dress make YOU enjoy your cruise more or less ... seriously ???

that's wacked ...

A Princess cruise is not a camping trip, no matter how much your paid for your accommodations. When you are on a "Luxury" cruise ship ..  act like you are getting one up on everyone , (because your are) and be just a bit over the top with your actions, manners and attitude.  We ALL have paid the fare... you get to make it a big deal or not with your actions and appearance.  IMOHO!!!

Good news! Many thanks Jeter02.

Note that not all ships have MedallionNet at this time like the "CB" does ( make sure you don't use 'CP' as the abbreviation ... unless you want to be ... )

and it has been posted that the Medallion Net works better in some locations that Princess visits ... the Caribbean itineraries versus Alaska ... where the Royal Princess is currently located

Wow. I wonder who prepared the menu. "Enjoy our Bellini collection prepared by our onboard mixologist's."

(sic) Someone should have done some proofreading. Preferably someone who understands that use of a apostrophe makes "mixologist" possessive rather than plural. Improper use of an apostrophe is a common error in online forums ("menu's" rather than "menus" definitely springs to mind) but this is a menu that was professionally produced. Some care should have been taken to avoid errors of this sort.

 

wow, what a moran looser, huh ???   thanks fore educations the forums' agin .. I leart so much in these forums

seriously, this again ???

I will be sailing on the Sky in June. Bellinis are me and my husband's go to drinks so I'm sure this will be a popular spot with us. We are sailing with my in laws and usually my FIL and I run and get drinks for ourselves and our spouses. Does Bellini's offer drinks other than bellinis? My FIL is a beer and wine drinker. Are there any other bars nearby incase Bellini's doesn't have what we all need?

what do the proposed deck plans show for nearby bars ?

As has been stated before, veterans are eligible for OBC on Princess Cruises. Sadly, my time playing Battleship@ as a child doesn’t count as military service.  

I commanded vast armies all over the world ...RISK

bring your popcorn to the forum on 9/1 ... hopefully popcorn worthy postings ...

don't care about the people who can still use the old cards ... I want to hear from the people who get turned away

My issue with FCD’s is that you are essentially giving them your money to hold rather than keeping it in an interest bearing account

except for that pesky OBC that comes when a cruise is actually booked

and a potential reduced deposit

yep, FCD's are worthless

enjoy that 2% you'll earned on that $ 100 each ...

Now we will see a 100+ post discussion that will do nothing more on this issue than what has already been stated.

everyone that posts will have an agenda

the pro dress up / traditional posters will state 'Princess dress code, blah, blah, blah, and that almost all men wore at least a tie and jacket

the pro casual will state the dress code is a mere suggestion and not ( or rarely ... to cya ) enforced ... and that the majority of men wore maybe dockers and a dress shirt on formal nights

funny how there is NEVER a mention of what passes for women's wear..

Good morning everyone! I am here at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina getting ready to head out to Port Everglades for a 7 day western caribbean cruise.

you got in after 2 a.m. and are now packing to leave ??

we stayed at the Hilton Marina for 2 nights in May ... yes, a little pricey ... but can't imagine us staying there just to sleep for a couple of hours, shower, then leave ...

but yeah, really nice room for us - 9th floor - directly looking at the cruise ship(s) , draw bridge, and water taxi stop

be careful you are not 'overserved' in Crooners
