As far as the shower curtain, you will have a bathtub enclosure and the shower curtain does not have the same issues as in a standard shower enclosure.

Below is a link to a current long thread on the bidding process.

Same for us, the Plus Package saves us a ton of $$$!

I see a big move to subcontract all of the ships functions. They have already subcontracted the art program, the shops, and the Spa/Salon. And now the Future Cruise Program. What is next? Maybe subcontract the housekeeping to the Holiday Inn? The restaurants to Denny's? Maybe they can find a company to navigate the ships too! IMHO not a good direction to take!

For us, it is soooooo worth the extra cost!

As a general rule when we have a connecting international flight, we like to allow at least 3 hrs between flights.

We also only book mini-suites. You will never get me back into one of the standard shower enclosures! 😀

IMHO it is time to put this thread to bed, it has been beaten to a pulp! 🥺

Here is a link to the original thread...

Enjoy your trip! I'll be following along...

We think the pricing is just right. 🙂

Only for Full Suites...

Here is another very extensive thread on the bidding process. Have fun reading 55 pages!

Below is a link to a recent thread on your topic.

We were on the Regal this past Nov/Dec for 37 days and we were able to change the input via the bottom button on the TV.

Our longtime TA has never been able to do that. 🤔

Totally agree! We know many Elite cruisers that spend lots on every cruise, us included.

Not if you are only doing a refare. If you have to cancel existing booking, then yes you lose your your EZair booking.

Not in our experience, it has stayed the same...

We have been on 11 TA's, all going west. We have had great weather and usually spend the 5 or 6 sea days in the Sanctuary. This past year, we did the crossing the 1st week of December on the Regal and the weather was great. We were in the Sanctuary for the entire crossing. Btw, we always book a mini-suite, the bathroom alone is worth the extra cost.

We use the below detergent sheets, they work great and very easy to pack!

We were on the recent 32 day voyage, Buenos Aires to LA, it's a great ship and crew! Enjoy your cruise!

For now, the Blue or Green lanes have not made a difference for us. We go thru the Elite line and it has taken an extra 2 minutes for the check-in agent to retrieve our Medallions. This has been the case in US and foreign ports.

It is so easy to pickup your Medallions at the port, it only takes an extra 2 minutes. This eliminates the hassle of whether or not we will be charged. We always cruise with the Plus Package.

April 25, 2023 9:30 AM EDT Princess Cruises is Now Official Cruise Vacation Partner for Porsche Club of America (PCA) The Original Love Boat Expands Relationship Providing PCA Members with Even More Opportunities to Engage with World's Most Iconic Cruise Line SANTA CLARITA, Calif., April 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Princess Cruises, the world's most iconic cruise line, is now the Official Cruise Vacation Partner for the Porsche Club of America (PCA). The move expands the cruise line's existing relationship with PCA which launched in 2022. With the announcement – made by Princess Celebrations Ambassador Jill Whelan and Ruby Princess Captain Mario Tani at PCA's annual Werks Reunion gathering at Amelia Island, Fla. – Princess Cruises is now the Official Cruise Vacation Partner for the organization's 150,000-plus members who will have even more opportunities to engage with Princess and its 15-ship fleet that annually visits 330 destinations on all seven continents. PCA members will also enjoy special branded experience cruises and increased Princess presence at annual car shows, concours and conventions, along with special access to great vacation deals which are booked through a personal travel concierge dedicated just for PCA members. "In our first year with Porsche Club of America we realized that we had created something very special, given our members' and guests' collective passion for making connections, travel and experiencing incredible machines," said John Padgett, president of Princess Cruises. "Now as PCA's Official Cruise Vacation Partner, we're ready to take our partnership to the next level on land and at sea." "PCA was the first automobile club to set sail with a host of member centric activities, many planned and hosted by Princess Cruises. They understand the passion and enthusiasm our members carry for the Porsche brand, and we see that same enthusiasm from all those involved in planning this year's Treffen at Sea," said Aaron Ambrosino, PCA National President. "In such a short time, Princess Cruises has fully integrated into the PCA family. This partnership is incredibly special and surely sets the bar for all PCA and car club events alike." said Vu Nguyen, PCA Executive Director One of the highlights of the partnership is an expanded line up of special cruises exclusively for PCA members throughout the year, culminating in the inaugural PCA Treffen at Sea, a seven-day cruise aboard Sky Princess operating round-trip from Fort Lauderdale Dec. 9-16, 2023. During the weeklong journey, participants will visit four of the Caribbean's most popular destinations – Cozumel, Costa Maya, Belize and Mahogany Bay (Roatan) – while enjoying one-of-a-kind landside experiences just for PCA members. Princess will also have a more prominent role at PCA's various gatherings across the country with plans to operate another sweepstakes similar to its highly successful awarding of a Princess-branded electric Porsche Taycan that attracted upwards of 900,000 entrants in 2022 . Much like a high-performance Porsche, Princess Cruises offers the ultimate customized experience for its guests with world-class dining, entertainment and activities, all powered by the Princess Medallion that provides for a uniquely personal vacation where guests can have anything they need delivered directly to them anywhere on board.
