We are traveling with 3 in a cabin. My Princess Planner said the third person can have a different package than or none at all. So, as long as two have the same, the third can be different. Similar to what others have said, but wanted to share what we were told. We decided on not getting the third person anything, will a la carte it.

We always use the same credit card for both cabins and all 4 people (husband and 2 kids) If the “owner” of the credit cards checks the balance they get all 4 folios, if someone else requests it, they only get theirs. Luckily it’s always balanced out in the end. Sorry to hear you are dealing with this. I would not be pleased

We got ours but DH decided to not book any more cruises for now. He got upset the price changed on us while we were looking but I think that's because he gets the First responder rate and I don't (I clicked on email, but then logged in as myself) Feels like we will be doing staycations for a while. He's gone down this route before. Glad we at least have a cruise booked.

Yes, us too, but even with the premier there can be upcharges. So, I'm starting to think that the Plus is all we need. I don't care about photos or internet or extra desserts, BUT certainly not about fitness classes. Just drinks 🙂

Wha!!🤯 good luck!!

Sounds good, and fingers crossed for a free upgrade lol Tipping culture is out of control! lol

We have always taken pods in a ziplock and they have never popped on us. I break one open if I need to hand wash anything in the cabin, and while that is a waste of the pod, taking pods in a ziploc takes up less space than a container, or I've convinced myself that it does.

Yes, but it can be challenging to walk with two glasses of wine in your hands 🙂 In the past they would serve "to go" glasses in different wine glasses than you get at Vines. I've tried walking with two before and its a slow walk to not splash wine. lol I have been known to walk out of the MDR and get a new wine at Vines mid meal... it was an emergency. 👼

Thank you for the comparison. In today's world where so many have been threatening to "leave Princess and try other lines". It's nice to hear that in your experience Princess appears to be the winner of the two ships. It's nice to hear.

While you can charge your onboard account, can you still use good old fashioned cash?

Nice! I've never thought of asking!

If you want to go on the cruise, keep looking regularly. Don't count on your TA to make sure they book when something opens up. At least, in my experience with Princess that's how we got our cabin on a waitlisted cruise. Things usually open up after final payment, but people also drop out beforehand. Be vigilant

My husband and I have the package for our next cruise, and our son, who is a third person sailing with us does not have the package auto included. He can pay $50 per day or we can pay separately while on board. I cannot pre pay gratuities online. If I want to prepay, I need to call Princess. If your presonalizer does not show 4 separate paid gratuities, then they will bill you while on board for the other 2 people in your cabin.

For those that haven’t received the email and have been verified, I would just call your travel agent or PVP or princess and ask about pricing. The cruise we looked at was about $100 off per person. The email is just a link to a subset of voyages See if that works https://www.princess.com/cruise-search/results/?voyages=3322N,3323N,A313,3324N,B307,B308,B309,E302,E307,G303,G302,G304,G310,G313,G314,R302P,R303N,R303P,R304N,R304P,R305N,R305P,R306N,R307N,R308N,Y302,Y303,Y307,Y309,Y311,G311A,G312A,G313A,X307,X309,E312N,M304N,M305N,X304,X305,X306,X310,X311,E315N,E319N,1302N,1304N,1307N,1303N,1308,1309,3306,E310N,E313N,E317N,E320N,1336B,3325N,1335,A334,1314N,X308,1306N,E316N,X314,E311N,E314N,E318N,H331,8332N,N308,N308N,N310,N313,N316,N319,N322,N325,N328,N331,N334,N326,N329,N332,N335,N330,N333,N336,N337,N338,N339,G317N,G318N,G322N,G323N,G324N,G325N,G326N,G327N,G328N,G329N,G330N,G331N,2309,2310,2311,2313,2314,2315,2316,2317,2319,2320,2321,2322,Y312,Y312A,M306N,8309A,8309N,8309C,8309D,H240,H307,2307&cid=dm_email_promo_internal_na_otherpromotional_rf2ms087c_221205_na&eccn=FUWPYSWXLLXGNBSAVB6C73VWPI&rrid=788706943B&mi_u=788706943B&custId=FUWPYSWXLLXGNBSAVB6C73VWPI&mi_ecmp=RF2MS087C

$10 is not I travel for work, never home. I don’t want to worry about being home for a medallion delivery and now that they are charging for the “convenience” of home delivery, I’ll pick up at the port indefinitely ☺️

I might use one or two of those coupons, but the coupon books were never something I "looked to get". If they were included, cool. If not, meh. I would have liked the BOGO at the Crown Grill.

Is there a book by date?

My vote is also board early, your other group members too.

Based on what I read, yes, no package=you pay for medallion to ship. I don't want to pay extra. In fact, I prefer to just pick up at the port, pay or not! One less thing to lose or stuff in my already overstuffed purse for the flight, or Bart ride over to the port

Feels like too much work! lol

Is Easy Check only for USA ports? Do they allow this in Canada or Europe?

Yes, I had to even with status when we cruised from FLL

Well crap, now I hope it is clear as day when I do all my app-crap that I find a way to confirm that I don't want the medallion shipped, pick up at pier only. Pardon the language, the app has me a bit frustrated.

Well, it arrived super late, but we got it! I think we will be booking a cruise!

Boo still curious though 😂
