For anybody that had a FCD, Future Cruise Deposit, for a cancelled cruise how long did it take for Princess to do anything?  I had a November Hawaii cruise canceled for 2020 & my T/A is still waiting to get me FCD transferred to my new Hawaii cruise in December 2021.

I have/had 2 cruises cancelled by Princess that were scheduled for this year. The April cruise FCD is sitting in a holding (special) account and the Oct/Nov cruise is still attached to that cruise (though it is cancelled). I have 2 cruises booked for next year and so far neither FCD has been applied to my new cruises. My TA has asked Princess several times about this and Princess just replies "don't worry" "we are still working on it". 

So, the answer to your question......who knows. Like you I am still waiting.  

Some images processed in Luminar 4. They range from keeping the image from what I saw when photographing it; to light editing; to over the top editing. 

This  image is the same for both, just done 2 different ways.......LR 1st......Lum 2nd.

Did some playing around in LR 5 and Luminar 4. In LR, I tried to keep the image to what I saw when taking it. In Luminar, I attempted to get a little creative.

In this one, the two images were taken one after the other from the same position.  LR 1st......Lum 2nd.

It's peony time.

Nice shots! I didn't realize the TG4 did so well on macros. I have a TG5, and I love it for food shots, but haven't tried closeups.

Your first shot looks like some kind of monster!

Thank You! I too like their setting for "food shots". 

It helps to have the LED ring for lighting.............otherwise the camera blocks out all of the light. 

Practicing some "macro"  shots on my little Olympus TG4.

In the US - only one guest per booking number - so just one person had to fill it out in a cabin. Everyone in the cabin did not need to reply. I personally doubt they can do both but am guessing.

 

Please enter the following information below regarding your March 12-May 10, 2020 booking with Princess.  
  - Submit one request per booking
  - Include one guest name per booking

We each had to put a request in...........and we each got a confirmation email. So I am writing per my experience, your experience might be different. Just going by what we had to do.

The Cancellation website asks for one request per stateroom and then asks for just one of the names for the stateroom.

The web site we were directed to; needed each guest in the stateroom to send in their own request. 

So, since the OP lives in the USA, (maybe Canada is different) I would think she and her mom could do different options for their request.

We stayed at the Frontenac. Iconic building and great location.

Cruise out of San Pedro twice........and no, EZ Check was not offered either time.

Have done the Panama Canal itinerary 3 times; with the latest being this year......so far have not needed a "Yellow Fever" shot. So from my experience, don't worry about it.  

I have had it where the personalizer has shown the wrong loyalty level too. This probably happened because I  booked the cruise while at the lower level. All you need to do is call Princess and they will correct it........very easy and only took a few minutes.  

The spouse and I do that all of the time (with the "soda and more" package) and never had a problem. Just take your cruise card or in your case, medallion to the counter and show the staff them and order.

On our last cruise we had the medallion, and when I ordered, the staff asked my room number and name.......and on the I-Pad that they carried around they typed that information in it and could see that we both had the "soda and more" package. 

So, based on my experience, I don't think you will have a problem. YMMV

Have you ever taken a photo, only to find out that there was a surprise in that photo? If so, feel free to post it here.

I took a photo of a flower/weed at the Bay of Fundy........It was only after I downloaded the image to my computer that I saw a bee in flight in the image. Was I surprised, oh yes I was.

Peonies were a little late this year. 

Yes, there is a big party.......do arrive early if you want to get a good location to view the festivities. The time will be posted in the "patter".

Yes.  If the cruise is also sold as 2 segments you would be replenished at the start of the second segment regardless of how the cruise was booked

That is good news.....so if I have this correct; if a cruise is sold as either 2 seven days or 1 fourteen, you still get 2 minibar setups?

I too would recommend the Embera excursion. Just let the people know that you need help getting into and out of the canoe. You do wear a life vest.....the canoe is not fast.......depending on which part of the river and how much rain they have had determines the depth. They do have crafts and will take US$, but please don't take large bills. Make it 1's, 5's, 10's or 20's so you can be as close to the amount of what you want to purchase; if you do buy something.  

The Island has more passengers and less public space..........because the aft public viewing areas and lounge were replaced with cabins. 

International Cafe, the Coral has one but the Island doesn't.
