Aqua on E class is IV and not true veranda. Aqua Suite on e class is a suite.

Did they explain how this fiasco happened other than it was their mistake? Would hate to have this happen to me.

Finally did Le Petite Chef on the Beyond. Was the worst of all my specialty dinners. The other three choices are good. Tuscan is my favorite.

There were sales for my November TA months back. Keep checking but getting close.

If you are looking at the cost of February 2025 sailings now, yes they are high as lower end sells out fast for that time of year. Even IV and others are high if ship is not sold out. We booked Ascent for February 2026 in February 2024 while onboard. Decided to go with low end suite after sailing in Beyond suite this past February. Had originally booked SV as no IV for me in the Caribbean again. Would be hard pressed to pay the same suite price on an S class. Really liked the retreat area with the pool.

I upgraded thru the chat or have to call.

A bit off the topic but as only my 2nd princess booking, what are perks for suites? I am familiar with Celebrity and suites come with premium drinks and Wi-Fi. Was told have to purchase those above cost of suite. Other than large cabin, what are the great things about suites on older Princess ships such as Emerals and Majestic?

Thanks for posting. We board in February for 14 days. It will be our 2nd princess sailing. Last was on Emerald Princess about 10 years ago. Been on many other cruises. We will be in a Mini Suite this time. We welcome any other tips regarding the ship.

where did the ship shuttle drop off? When we were there a few years back it was near the entrance to the old town.

Just went into chat an upgraded to Premier from Plus. Charged me the $20 difference and did not say anything about the changes coming. Only my 2nd Princess sailing

We did that tour this past February. What good but the jeep ride was a bit frightening for me.

I check in, select the latest boarding time and add cc info if requested. Do not need anything else. If changing cabins, I print out the luggage tags so bags get forwarded properly - but probably don’t need to. These are two separate sailings so info does not get added into second leg.

He is a cruise director and was very humorous when we sailed with him.

Leaving Celebrity or just the ship for vacation?

I use my phone with facial recognition to sign into an account. I hope that is secure. I do not use pw’s.

Did you look at the photos when viewing available rooms on the website? If you select the cabin there are photos and layouts.

Your friends were very fortunate to be able to enjoy the benefits without the costs.

May not be applicable to your sailing. I could call.

We did B2B in US on Beyond. IV to Suite. We were to be notified of where to meet but was not done due to poor room steward. We were found in the Club awaiting departure and rentry to ship as required. Took us to B2B suite waiting area to start enjoying retreat life.

When we took the bus, there was an area for luggage inside the bus. If you go to their website there is a photo of the bus.

After the SV you may be disappointed. Have sailed in both and in a suite on edge class. No more IV for me. The “veranda” space on the IV is so small and the bifold door cuts into the space when not in use. The SV was great with the extra space where the IV space would be.

If you like the Edge class get a sunset veranda. Very limited inventory so usually have to book early or get lucky that one is available.

Great benefits. What card is that?

I book my trips with a credit card that covers travel issues. This does not cover medical so have a paid annual policy for that. Did have to make a claim when had to cancel a week prior to sailing. Recovered all funds.

Some have had success transferring the cruise to a new date/ship with $100 pp fee if that would work for you. Could go on a later date and won’t lose the total amount. Of course one of those in the cabin would have to sail on the changed date.
