One would think that...I just looked at my credit card and see the charge for one person drink package, and another "charge" of 0 (on a separate line). Both are listed as pending charges. I'll have to keep an eye on this to make sure that 0 doesn't turn into something more. Maybe I'm jaded after the kerfuffle today trying to check in. I won't go into it, but it took me quite some time for all the info I entered to be accepted.

Just an FYI: There is some incorrect information here regarding Pinnacle benefits. One post indicated you only get your 6 free drinks in the Suite lounge. When they went to 6 free drinks instead of unlimited happy hour, they made them available at any bar except Starbucks, Bionic Bar and Desserted. Wi-Fi for one device is not limited to certain types of ships, it's available on all ships. Laundry is available for one free bag, after that, $$ off.

I ended up using a different credit card and booking the package over the phone today. The rep had difficulty removing the second passenger "Guest, GGuest" and also kept getting the double charge, but finally was able to get me the package for one. The verification email shows the package but still shows the second passenger. Hopefully, I won't be charged daily gratuities for two. I really don't want to spend any of my 7 day cruise battling to get charges posted correctly.

thanks, I was told not to wait until I board by the MSC rep, I just want to wait until the first of June for a 6/29 cruise. My problem now is that I travel solo and when I try to buy online it wants to charge me for 2 people...for some reason, they have a 2nd "person" listed as "guest" on my rez. Guess I'll have to call, something I wanted to avoid

Thanks for answering :)

I will be buying the Easy Plus package prior to my cruise but want to buy it just before the sailing. When does MSC "close" purchases of extras for their cruises? i.e. Royal Caribbean closes purchases 3 days before the cruise. This is to help me decide which of my credit cards to use.

My most recent cruise on RC just ended May 18th. I sailed solo and I received triple points for being in a Junior Suite. My cruise previous to that ended May 4th - I was in a balcony and received double points for that.

I'm not sure how/if they'll do the refund...I paid with about $60 from my credit card with the rest from my Next Cruise deposit which is non-refundable. But, they did refund me $96 for the pre-paid gratuities. I sent the email about 2 weeks ago and received a response that I should receive the refund in 1-2 weeks after the end of the cruise (last day of the no-show cruise was 5/10). It was a side to side, combined with a B2B. I missed the first of the B2B. Very messy. Oh and I looked at my emails, the new offer I received came today

I already emailed

If I remember, I'll let you know at the beginning of next month. I usually get a monthly offer but I did have to no-show a cruise on May 4th due to an emergency. I had no access to a phone or internet until a couple of days into the cruise so couldn't even notify them until then. So far, I got my pre-paid gratuities back but not the port/tax funds. I did get a new offer on my club royale page in the last couple of days tho

Sorry it didn't help

I checked my records just to be sure, but at least on my Sky cruise in Feb 2023, I had a remaining $197 in refundable OBC that they sent to me in a check to my home about a month later. I have a record of the check being deposited. I can't imagine it would be the other way around.

Thanks for the great review and it was everything I've experienced on my Enchanted cruises. One hint regarding wifi service once off the ship...I used to have trouble getting service in order to get an Uber/Lyft at the end of the cruise. Some things to remember are to turn off airplane mode, logout of the Princess wifi, then log into the Port Everglades free wifi when you get outside. Since I started remembering to do these three things, I've not had any problem getting Uber app up and running and an Uber driver to pick me up. I hope this helps someone 😉 I'll be back on board in a week!

They did when I went 12/30/2023

I take numerous cruises per year -going on #14 for 2024 in a week. Sometimes I need a break but still want to be on the ocean. Movies in the cabin are a great way to relax. Princess is the only cruise line I've been on that has movies, tv shows, etc., that you can watch on demand. Last year I saw Maverick and Barbie. I couldn't get into Oppenheimer - I thought it was kind of boring - but it was offered among several others.
