We bid the minimum price on an owners suite on Sun Princess and got it. Our total cost is less than half than if we’ve booked it originally so we’re pleased. If you get a successful bid you can check out location etc before accepting to see if it’s suitable for you, if not stay with your original cabin

Wow!   That's amazing!

We booked owners suite #16611 on Sun Princess in 2025.  I contacted Princess "Live Chat" this morning to ask a few questions on this cabin.  The rep said the shower was a "roll-in" shower which leads me to believe this is an accessible suite.  The website indicates a separate tub/shower.  May I ask what suite you were in?

Thank you for sharing this. Did they get rid of the club sandwich? That was my favorite.

The club sandwich was our favorite too!  I'm happy to see spaghetti has been added back to the kids menu.  It was my go-to when nothing on the dinner menu appealed to me.  😋

We'll be in a full suite on an upcoming cruise.  I booked the complimentary 1st night specialty dining at Crown Grill through the Princess app just now.  My credit card account shows a $78 charge from Princess but also a credit for the same amount.  It's a wash.  I'm happy!

Good morning!

 

Woke up at 6am after exhaustedly passing out at about 9pm last night. A couple of posts about Barcelona before heading to the port this morning. We're staying for a night at the Le Méridien in central Barcelona. They upgraded us to one of their Terrace Suites, which was very nice. The private patio is huge!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the photos.  We're booking 3 nights at Le Méridien for a 2025 cruise.  The room and patio look lovely!

So it is one day out from sailing and my bid on the bidding site always said pending even 30 minutes ago.  Just now got emails saying our bid was not accepted 😞 😞 .  Did your bid get accepted?

Hi Jeff.  We’re in the same boat….or should I say ship?  LOL  Just received an email from Princess notifying us both bids were rejected.  We’re OK with that as we’re happy with the cabin we chose.  We wanted to give the bidding process a try.

No. Everyone that bids is in pending status until it's rejected or accepted 

Thanks.  Good to know.  Our deck/cabin has been listed on the Medallion app until this evening.  It surprised me when it changed to pending.

Just now, JeffM1 said:

LOL we are in the same category, same cruise as you, and placed bids on the same two types of cabins.  We have been "pending" for a month, and still haven't heard anything more.

I guess we'll both be pleasantly surprised when we board.  LOL   We like our current location but thought it'd be fun to place bids and see what happens.  

We board the Discovery in 3 days.  We booked an MB category mini suite and placed bid for a Reserve Class mini and penthouse suite.  When I checked the Medallion app just now, the cabin and deck are showing "Pending".   Does anyone know if this means one of our bids could be in the process of being accepted?   Our deck and cabin number have been listed before.   Crossing our fingers!

I didn't see anyone dress up formally, only casual style clothing. 

Thank you!

In August some people wore dressy (not formal) clothes, but most were casual with jeans or slacks and a nice blouse or shirt. It’s an elevated experience, but not stuffy. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Thanks for the info.  We're really looking forward to it. 

We received an invitation to the attend the 360 dining experience on our upcoming cruise.  Is there a dress code?  We planned to pack casual this trip, but might have to toss in a sport coat for hubs and a sparkly outfit for me.     

We placed two bids for our October 7th cruise the day bidding opened (75 days before cruise) and are still in pending mode.  Keeping our fingers crossed.

No, do not register.  You are right, multiple accounts really mess it up.  I can tell you that you can call in and pick the option for Ocean Ready, during the week though, not

on the weekend.

 

Or, the email address I gave for IT.

 

A360ad7@carnival.com

 

 

Thanks PacnGoNow.  Unfortunately this problem has been going on for over a month.  I did email A360ad7@carnival two weeks ago and have not received a response yet. If I don't receive a reply this week, I'll resend the email.

Can't log into the personalizer on the website any more for my husband, doesn't recognize his password. For me, sometimes I can log in, today also says password  incorrect.

I have given up. Will just do it through booking number. However if I want to see anything else,

history, Future Cruise credits etc, can't do it right now.

I've been having the same problem, Sue.  And my husband account isn't recognized any longer.  The site keeps suggesting he "Register".  I know from past experience that if he registers, he will be assigned a new Captain Circle number and that creates another set of problems.  Wish Princess would get their act together.

Has anyone reported this issue to the IT department?

 

They should be made aware.  
 

A360ad7@carnival.com
 

Give them your full name, ship and sail date, booking no.  

Type of device you’re using and browsers you’ve tried.

Explain exactly what your doing and your error responses. 
 

All of you should report it, so someone can fix it for you.

 

Let us know if they have resolved the issues.

 

 

 

I submitted an email detailing our issues.  I'll report back as soon as I receive a response.  In the meantime, I was able to connect with Live Chat after an hour wait.  I explained the problems.  The Live Chat person instructed me to contact the Princess 1-800 number.   Sheesh.  

I've had this problem for several weeks now and it's frustrating.  My husband also tried logging into his account and it doesn't recognize his username and/or password.  The website wants him to "Register" which I know will create more problems if he does.  I've tried contacting "Live Chat" several times a day this week and receive a message they are assisting others and to try back another time or call the 1-800 Princess number.

It worked on my iPad but not the iPhone or PC.  Thanks for everyone's input.   

I've been trying to connect with Princess customer service via "Live Chat" on their website, but the Live Chat link isn't working.  Anyone else having this problem?

If you are using the black bracelet, it has magnets in it and it will only sit properly in one orientation. Try rotating it 180 degrees.

Mine is a silver bracelet.  Thanks for the suggestion.  I turned turning it every which way....no luck.    I'll check with the Medallion staff on board next week.

yes, somebody mentioned it in the large medallion thread.

Thanks, I'll check out that thread.

Yay!  We received our medallions in the mail today.  When I placed mine in the medallion bracelet I purchased last year, it doesn't fit.  It's a little smaller so it doesn't fit snuggly and sticks up at a slight angle.  Has anyone else had this problem?

The current manager in Sabatini's is Aryna.  She is a very personable and sweet lady.

Thanks for the info.  I believe we met Aryna on our South America cruise.  She is a sweet lady!

LACruiser88:  would you happen to know who is the current dining room manager in Sabatini's?   Franco was the manager during our B2B in January.  We're hoping he'll be on board for the November 17th transatlantic.

This is it.

Allegedly young N played here. Allright. We were taken there last week when hefty rainfalls made the planned excursion to further parts of the island impossible. A couple of rocks in town.  IMHO nothing to see and not worth any kind of effort to get there.

Thanks for the pic.
