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

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

Check the daily Patter for show times

we enjoyed this

Just sent my 'new PVP' an email asking about the availability on upcoming 3 day SKY out of FLL

we'll see ..

I didn’t just wish. I told mine to go away

Got a new one "assigned" within an hour after sending this email to my former PVP...

 ... And also please pass along to Princess that it would be beneficial to Princess customers if all these 4 different

ways of booking the same cabin were easily available for viewing on the Princess website ... that's about the nicest way I can put it

XXXXX, I will not be contacting you again in regards to this or any other future cruises ... please remove me from your list of clients

I need a PVP who will offer me ALL combinations of cruise prices without having to play 20 questions and can be able to even offer something as simple as a bottle of wine or a specialty dinner for a 10 day , $ 4k cruise

I had one like that several years ago, looking to attach themselves to me/us.  Was not interested.

 

I do agree with the above posters that you need to talk to someone at Princess if you want other fare plan alternatives.  They have "always" had the "no frills" stripped-down low fare with no "goodies" like OBC drinks, etc.  And it is always non-refundable.   That said, TA''s have access to all those plans as well.

 

I would prefer to see all pricing plan options available, but I guess Princess wants more contact with customers in hopes of booking them directly.  At least I can see all the available pricing plans at my TA's website.  I can even see the pricing for sold out categories FWIW.

I wouldn't be bragging about that too much if I were you ... unless you also have your TA cred's

if found out, your TA could have their Princess privileges pulled for letting unauthorized people accessing information

at least I hope so

jealous ? ... Damn Straight I am

I have canceled the booking as per you request. There is a rate that does not include the OBC. Please let me know if you want a booking with no OBC and if you prefere it to be refundable or nonrefundable. I am sorry but there is nothing additional that I can add on in addition to the current amenities offered.

If I get a clip (can't see wearing anything around my neck as I would find it really annoying)

we got the generic fit bit clips from Amazon - 4 pack ... different colors ... make sure you get the package that has a "black clip"

most of the time my lowly platinum OM ended up in the clip in my pocket after each time I had to take it off to have it scanned for something ... actually easier to keep up with on the clip if in pocket or on the desk, etc

Thank you! These conversations are so ridiculous. The OP is Elite and wants the correct medallion. I totally understand. People go all crazy about the idea that pulling your black card or now wearing your black medallion is somehow "flaunting" something, but in reality no one else cares, or at least they shouldn't. I truly believe for most passengers who have obtained Elite level status it is about just being recognized so they can get the benefits offered to them. If your are Elite you should have the black medallion - nothing wrong or ostentatious in asking for or expecting that. If someone else is offended by my black medallion hanging around my neck - they can look the other way!

Princess , or any cruise line, could easily have different loyalty levels without differentiating between the levels by colors, or labels ... all that info would come up when your generic ( I like orange ) OM was scanned ..

that way no other cruisers will know if you are on your first cruise ... or have more than 15 or so

pull tabs ... can you even imagine ...
