  1. I sailed just last month and it worked when I emailed in April. I just did it again today so I'll see what happens.
  2. I use email only. I emailed to SBPCL@Princesscruises.com it worked fine this way
  3. You and I are part of the solution to stop the insanity of tipping everyone. I tip approx 15% in restaurants on the food not the tax. As long as people keep "feeling good" about themselves when they tip it will continue.
  4. Most people don't double tip but wouldn't dream of admitting it on these boards because they don't have flame suites! Please show where you got your mis-information from?
  5. How many times do people want to tip? You already tipped in your package exactly what was dictated to you so why tip more and more?
  6. The plus package duplicates service I don't need like 2 internet packages, and dictates the gratuity amount which I disagree with. RCL and Princess are more alike then different. RCL doesn't require a drink package because their higher tier gets several drinks complimentary. If you like RCL you will like Princess which is more sedate without the disneyland/six flags entertainment. The mini suite category is what I would recommend so that you will enjoy.
  7. My two cruises went up in Price, typical sale.
  8. Only you can put a value on what you'd be willing to pay for service. With your beverage package you already have done what you feel would enhance your experience. Questions like this are impossible to answer since we don't know your income (budget) which is none of my business, , tolerance for lines or wait for dining room seating, would you do a shared table eliminating any long waits for a table in the dining room? How many people in your cabin? Look at the cabin categories and decide what fits you personally.
  9. I always pick up my medallion at the pier and have never waited more then 5 minutes. Paying postage is not necessary and for me a waste of money.
  10. The British accent person I recently dealt with was in South Africa and no better then the other out sourced agents.
  11. I hope it doesn't turn out like Curtis Stone's restaurant Princess bragged about and nobody liked and closed down on their ships.
  12. Any improvements for our convenience means lower quality for a higher price. Gotta wonder why is something is the best you need to improve it? Figs belong in my fruit bowl Never on a pizza.
  13. You can hand them a Princess gift certificate which they can put on their on board account and use it for anything they want.
  14. Save a water bottle (Buy one and reuse it if you have to) and fill it up during the day with the tea or lemonade and put it in your fridge. If you get the complimentary mini bar use one of those water bottles and refill it.
  15. Since it's a complimentary UBB what have you got to loose? If you don't like it just head to Sabitini's.
  16. I always pick up the medallion at thepier choosing not to have to pay $10 for shipping. My boarding time has never exceeded 5-7 minutes. Much todo about nothing.
  17. Sounds like his adult guardian is slacking not taking of him. It's easier to blame the ship, & the security. That being said I wish for him to found safe and returned to his family regardless of the circumstances.
  18. The ones on board are more then adequate, why shlepp extra if you don't have to.
  19. I had the same issue and it never got resolved. I put a dispute on my charge card and it took 90 days for aarp to not reply before they reversed the charge.
  20. This is a wasted tour. It is not the Hotel Calif from the Eagles song but they won't tell you this in advance. It's a long ride to a crummy hotel with a bakery attached.
  21. Pan Pacific is in the terminal. They will transfer your luggage for you and you never have to leave the building. It's bit more expensive then hotel a bit further away but factor in transportation and convenience. It's also only a $6 fare PP from the airport via the sky train.
  22. I only use that email and it works every time. There are some of us who don't use our smart phone for apps or anything only as a phone so this is the alternative method.
  23. Princess suites are essentially just nicer real estate. The perks lack in comparison to other mass marker cruise lines. My favorite perk on RCL is reserved theatre seating every night.
  24. It was a lovely experience because it was new and different. The food for me wasn't so great but the filet mignon was enough to make me satisfied. I don't drink any wines except sweet ones so the wines were a waste on me. I enjoyed the experience complimentary in a suite but wouldn't pay for it. I would prefer the chef's table if I were paying. There is no dress code, plenty of nice jeans and polo shirts when I was there. It is so dark you won't see what others are wearing nor care.
