  1. We will keep looking but on the two cruises we would have bid on one was smallest for upgrade from mini suite to mini with the upgraded dining (thought it was a bit high but we wanted to do the dining and did not get accepted) and the other an upcoming cruise that is way higher than we would bid.
  2. On RCCL the bid can be relatively small, and we did it and got a nice upsell. Disappointed on Princess how the minimum bid for upgrade is rather a large dollar one.
  3. Now that they decided they could charge us to ship the medallion for first time will pick it up at the port. Will see if that will take extra time and if so can reconsider.
  4. And our TA will get us a better price or obc if we transfer booking to her. Think you have 30 days to do so.
  5. Done it twice and was great. However when we did a land tour after cruise a lot of places had already closed or were closing up so we did miss some stuff but was still a great time
  6. If you care mostly about the ship Majestic as we love the Royal class. For itinerary Alaska but both interesting itineraries.
  7. .you bought it on the ship no corkage to be charged
  8. Wondering if they are cutting pay for crew while increasing gratuities for all of us? Princess still has turndown at least for now.
  9. On Sky March 18 and could only swap bar for one bottle of wine. No coffee card, no obc. Lots of crew suggested we complain to Princess on comment card, which we did as we really liked the coffee card but not likely to come back. We would even buy the coffee card but Princess will only have it if we purchase a drink package and not even close to worth it for us.
  10. Took just a minute to purchase it on board last month on Sky. Same price either way and they have people readily available to help.
  11. They are looking at more and more things that we can pay for that used to be included. Apparently the coffee card will never come back which is very disappointing.
  12. Agreed and especially in our case when we have no need for internet first few days especially if cruise begins on a weekend
  13. Just off the sky last week an we purchased internet package on the ship, three days after sailing and got the 50% discount.
  14. Just back from the Sky and ate dinner in all three dining rooms and really no difference comes from same galley. We do find it better to have same table, tablemates and wait staff for entire cruise as it is nice to get to know people and waitstaff understands your preferences. Luckily for us we hooked up with two other couples early in the cruise and had dinner together each night.
  15. We bid just over $ 100 (had minisuite on deck 15) and did not get it. TA was empty and never a line to get into restaurants.
  16. On the sky TA last week did not notice it in the patter but walking thru the buffet saw it and enjoyed it.
  17. We had some great dinners on Royal class ships at $ 40 or perhaps a bit less in the past but way more than we would care to spend on dinner.
  18. We complained about this on the comment card I sent back yesterday but think the day of the coffee card is gone forever. Now the game is getting us to spend more on the ship.
  19. We commented on lack of coffee bar to several officers on the ship and also comment card. Since we no longer drink the $ 60 drink package makes no sense to us. Asked a international waitress if they were selling less coffee but soon became apparent she had no idea what I was asking her.
  20. They did refund the port fees but thought $ 29 was rather small but they were not giving out details of how they arrived at that amount.
  21. We were on the cruise and just back. We booked the cruise to see Casablanca and were disappointed not to go there. However due to the storm they made the decision to get to port early and they do have a responsibility to keep us safe. We did have an opportunity to spend the obc at the shops or at the casino and we had no problem doing so. We all had the opportunity to pay a very small amount to go on the cruise and lets face it the cruise lines do not have the resources they used to have. BTW it was still once of our better cruises. Cruise director and staff were outstanding.
  22. Have the mailing address but where does one get the form to send with the brokerage info? Do not see it on website I do know that Carnival and Princess each has their own form and would imagine HAL would have its own. Thanks Stu
  23. We were told we would get it within 3 months and the other day our TA said it has been taking about 2 months. We shall see.
  24. My wife tested positive on Emerald TA a few weeks ago. We expect a future credit credit for the 6 days she spent in isolation as well as myself since I isolated with her. We were treated well and all meals came thru room service ordered via the DR or int cafe or world marketplace and pre dinner drinks were also offered. Never could get a straight answer as to whether the room service wait staff received any of our auto tips and finally the lady who handled our calls said dont worry about tipping so ultimately we did not.
  25. Just found out that the credits we have from covid cancelled cruises must be used by December 31,2022 and you must sail by than as well. Neither of the two TA's we have been using think they are responsible for checking on this for customers and they both say they have asked Princess to allow bookings by 12/31 with sailings after that date but Princess will not budge. Anyone been able to do something about this? We will be losing $ 650 each and would rather not. BTW we should have known this but do not see where Princess ever said there was an expiry date attached. Thanks for your help.
