I don’t believe anyone at guest services can help with DMW only Navigators. Yes a CVP cannot help either but they can escalate really fast. One reason we got reimbursed within 6 weeks or so for Canadian quarantine charges and did not even go through AON

Another reason why we use a CVP

Your steward will deliver it to your cabin

I have never seen one on a 4 day cruise but maybe we didn’t qualify on one of those. Lol

The plus package is generally for those of us who 1-2 beers or glasses of wine with lunch, 2 pre dinner cocktails, wine with dinner and 2-3 drinks in the casino That plus waters, specialty coffees, gratuities and WiFi make it a no brainer for us. If some one does not drink at all they probably would not want to have the package

Believe me no one at the port will ask you about arrival times

I use WiFi daily on a cruise to check emails and catch up on news since Princess TV does not include any real news stations just commentary outlets

It really comes down to beverages. Does your partner or yourself drink specialty coffees, soft drinks or many bottles of water. They would all be covered as well. If the answer is no then you might be better of just paying for your 2 drinks a day

We have a Medicare Advantage plan through Kaiser Northwest and got reimbursed for all tests and meds including Paxlovid but it took a month or so to get the check

Yes but the Sun is much different with no aft balconies and no aft bars for simple folk and a Buffet miles from the pool

The TA would not be looking at the Princess website for passengers but a separate system. I am betting you can see the rate but may not be able to book and pay

You will not be able to eat lunch everyday in the MDR as it is only open on sea days. My wife has allergies for certain fish and peanuts. She just asks lots of questions while ordering. You will be fine with poolside pizza and burger places. It took us a few years to realize that the chocolate sauce with the baked Alaska dessert is made with ground up peanuts. Or at least it used to be

We were able to take the Pacific from Manaus Brazil through the Amazon. Just an amazing trip which will never show up on Princess again

Not all ships have a pizza restaurant like Alfredo’s I have only seen them on Royal class ships although in the past on the Coral they did do a full pie pizza deal a couple of times in Sabatini’s

No this is the odd part. The back to back 4 day Vancouver to Seattle and then Seattle round trip Hawaii. Only the 2nd one shows up on the app. Doesn’t matter what booking number I log in with. Will wait and see

The Salty Dog on the Ruby is an extension of the Wheelhouse. The IC is a nice alternative to the buffet.

Once again check your voyage in the health tool do not trust what someone else has heard or generic protocols

Those side balconies on the Majestic were way small in my opinion. Still opt for aft cabins

I love the night lights They were a big help in our last trip on the Ruby

Didn’t care for the bistro location for dining it would be much better place for a barbecue

I would never trust the generic FAQ on the website buses the Health tool. I have seen some very upset people who booked Panama Canal cruises who are in vaccinated and now find they must test because the cruise goes to Colombia. Rules can change at any time

It just depends on when the ship is cleared for disembarkation. Traffic can be a pain on weekdays. I usually use noon as a time frame for flying. On some occasions I will just overnight and fly early the next day

It does take some time to get the FCC’s applied to your account. If you use a Princess CVP you may be able to get it escalated. We did this and it helped but it still too several months. Ours was complicated due to Canadian hotel quarantine as well

Usually the excursion would still show on Princess so you can wait list. It sounds like they may have lost the tour company for the excursion

In addition when you have a whole bunch of cruises specially b2b cruises not all show up on the app. I have a 4 day in September prior to a 16 day and it has never shown up. I am waiting till after a 15 day canal cruise to deal with it At that point it will only have 5 cruises to deal with. The number of bookings does seem to be an issue. I use an IPhone 7 but even my friends who use the newest phones have the same issue
