I always add them.  Yes, the system is very good about gate changes, delays, and the status of the flight on the day of.  But not when a change that is made months ahead of time. Is it different on Delta?

My last EzAir was changed months ahead and I was notified by Delta not Princess/Ez Air

Yes, my son did on his account. That’s the first place we looked when we kept getting the error message. The flights we had linked were just gone - the number didn’t even work. It’s like they vanished. No message, no email, no text. I assumed it was because they were booked by EZAir instead of us booking directly. 

They just failed you, that’s not great. 
I can understand why you would be wary of Delta and EZ Air then.

We were booked on Delta and received absolutely no notice from them. We discovered quite by accident via our Princess booking site when going to look up aspects of our upcoming travel. When we tried to pull up our flights we got an error message which prompted us to reach out to Princess. We got zero notice from Delta or Princess.

I fly Delta often snd once it’s connected to my Delta/Skymiles  account I have never had an issue with notifications when using EZAir either.

Did you link your flight to your Delta account?

Good to hear that Delta and their AP is so reliable about notifying customers of any changes to flights.  Is it correct to assume that Delta sends you an email and it is not really the AP itself?

 

I always add my flights to my account on American and United, but they are not always reliable about notifying you when there is a change to the flight.  I just check my flights periodically.  Sometimes they notify me and sometimes they do not.  
 

Thank you.

In the app itself, you’ll get push notifications and updates. It’s very accurate especially the day of travel with gate changes and delays.

My last EZAir booking was s return flight from Heathrow and I did receive an email as well from Delta when my times changed.

I recommend adding your flights to your airline accounts/apps as soon as possible.

What airline AP does this?

 

Are you referencing the paid subscription AP offered by Expert Flyer?

No, if it’s a Delta flight put the Delta app on your phone (skymiles) and link your flight (add the confirmation number) 

You will be alerted to any changes with your flights even  if booked through  EZAir once **paid in full 

The answer to your question was based on ports in the past not the ship.

Each port/country monitors and implements its own restrictions,

Put the airline app on your phone with notifications on and you’ll be alerted on every flight change.

LeHavre-Paris w/theBateaux Seine cruise w/lunch - I actually did this tour  twice it was amazing and the photo ops are extraordinary (it’s a 3 hour drive each direction-traffic can be horrible so I suggest a ship tour for Paris-Our bus was late getting back but the ship had to wait)

Cobh-Is adorable, the town is the port. We did the 1/2 day tour  to Jameson which was great, and sat outside at a pub in cobh after. 

Cobh has a tourism site- I also visited the church and they have an overlook area for good scenic photos (they had a cute train in the past but seems the pandemic caused them to go out of business)

Definitely recommend the HoHo in Dublin.

We also purchased tickets on our own to Guinness, best views of Dublin from the Gravity  bar.

Has anyone on a recent cruise seen if Pub Lunch has been brought back?

I know on the Enchanted in January it wasn’t offered but curious if it has been on other ships?

It was definitely always well attended and created a fun atmosphere.  

i would hate for it to go away, I’d be willing to pay a service charge even.

How can they apply it to a booking that was fully paid weeks ago? Earlier this week these amounts were sitting there with a note that I had to book and sail by 31 December. In the last 24 hours they have applied them to a fully paid booking.

Mine was also applied to a booking paid in full, the system just sees an open booking and attaches .

My same FCC was applied twice to the same booking after it was removed.
The 2nd rep I spoke  to said it just randomly assigns itself every few weeks if a booking is open. 

I called about this last year and was told that the system will randomly  assign FCC to any open booking. 
I was able to finally chat  with a rep who was able to lock it from being reassigned randomly, happened to me twice prior.

This actually worked and it stopped it from happening until I chose to use it.

So I booked a cruise via Urcomped recently. 

I am unable to book another until after that cruise.

 

Carnival also offered us a Cruise Match offer...and was unable to book any others once I booked that.

 

Is Princess the same?

Once I book one via the offer, will the prices go back to standard rates on the other cruises they are offering (it is specific dates/ships this summer)

I would be interested in booking a B2B.

You can book as many as you have offers for.

B2B or B2B2B

I have done many B2B that were casino comps. You can book 1 with a casino offer and follow it with a comped/discounted or regular priced cruise. 
Many offers are even valid to be used 3 times, read the fine print.

(usually you only get casino free play for the first booking) 

Yours seems to be limited to dates so it may only be for one sailing.

These have always been the published contacts, including email off the shareholder benefit information one sheet

Because you were moved off a quarantine floor you should have the option to pick a new location with in the category you paid for.

I would have a few new cabin numbers ready so when you call you can tell them where you want to move.

I was moved for the exact same reason and when I called (again you have to call as soon as the phone lines open)  I gave them the new cabin # that I wanted and all was settled.

Don’t cancel yet, try calling again.

I’m all for trying new cocktails!!! I can’t wait. I need to do some research about what is available. 

Depending on the ship,  the Good Spirits Bar  makes some great cocktails.

Use it to try something new 😃

On the Enchanted they had some great specialty coffees! 
I loved the Honey Lavender Latte in the International Cafe.

If you are a tea drinker you can order a pot of tea in the IC as well

(not just a cup) 

I would use it to try some new drinks, you may find a new favorite.

I have also done cruises w/o the package and didn’t feel deprived especially since you can bring wine and soda w/you.

I don't understand why you guys don't just do the quick turn around antigen test at a pharmacy?

Here in California all the pharmacies like CVS and Rite aid do those tests and the results come to you in minutes

Are none of those available near where you live?

They are accepted by Princess 

An issue  existed with CVS cancelling tests the day of which left people scrambling for new more expensive tests.

Well so far, This Testing thing is not going so well...So far Docgo is not offering testing at the pier out of Seattle, Optum is out of stock on this test kits...My area is a nightmare to get a PCR results back in time because of Delays...So other than testing at the Seattle airport...$250.00...I guess there is the option of the Radeas Kits...Are they as easy to use as the Optum kits are?

Thanks

Emed has tests available but they only sell the 6 pack-same tests as Optum

It may have been a fluke but I was refunded the full gift card amount including bonuses that had expired. 

(the bonus came separately in an email so It was easy to track that card as the bonus)

I immediately turned around and applied the bonus to a different cruise just in case it was a mistake. 

Perhaps it was part of the cruise with confidence  🤷🏻‍♀️

I was under the impression the $200 pp paid thru Players Club was not refundable .

In normal times it is non refundable but the cruise with confidence  scheme  covered players club deposits. 
* I cancelled 3 cruises and all tbe deposits were  refunded as FCC 

I came here for dry dock info 😂😂

*hijacked*

When booking a casino deal we often ask that the confirmation be itemized, not every agent does it automatically. It  helps keep our bookings straight and keeps down any confusion that can occur with missing casino OBC or promotions. 

Not Princess but my Mom is currently on the new Rotterdam ship and it has a full library w/newly released books.

 Princess ships w/o a library often have a cart at Guest services but it’s not publicized 

I’m 45 and don’t use E readers.  I stare at a computer screen for 8-10 hours a day and the last thing I want is another screen. I definitely prefer a physical book.
