You can only purchase the standard Captain Stanley online. I like the other costume ones better. 🤣

Hhhmmm....maybe that explains why a bottle at home only last about 3 glasses....🤣

You could have gone all Jack Nicholson in "Five Easy Pieces" and asked for a chicken sandwich on toast, hold the chicken!😉

DW and I went to a mexican restaurant one time and she ordered a taco salad without the lettuce once...she was serious until I reminded her she was ordering a salad 🤣

It is not just due to updates. I got the call from Princess and they are very aware and frustrated by this mess.  

So, they're finally getting frustrated??? It's only been 7 years 🤣

I'd be super depressed if I had to use a mobility device at any age.  Makes me sad just thinking about it.  I've seen some kids on RC who have severe mental impairment (from a strictly ocular inspection it looked like the kids had severe cerebral palsy) being dragged on to cruises; they didn't even have the mental capacity decline coming, so the parents decided for them.

But at least with a mobility device you can still enjoy some of your life still. I'd rather see my DW use her scooter so she can get around and still do things than to give up on life because her knees won't let her walk as well as she used to.

For online website Manage Booking - clear cache and cookies, or use Incognito mode.  

Works like a champ.

 

As for your app - I got nothing. Delete and reinstall? 

Thanks for reminding this old man about clearing cache and cookies. Worked like a charm 🤣

As for the app....I have no faith that it will ever get fixed, it's been the same company for more than 7 years and app # 3 or 4 and it still doesn't work.

I have the same problem with the website, every time I went to make a payment I got the website down at the moment. I use Firefox as a browser. I decided to try microsoft edge to see what would happen and I got right in and was able to make a payment. Now gonna try clearing the cookies and cache.

Seeing as I have them listed as one of my favorite drinks (post #11) - yes, they do make them.  

They can make virtually any drink, provided they have ingredients, whether it's listed on the menu or not.  And yes, they have well stocked bars, where creme de menthe, creme de cacao, cream, etc. 

Guess I should have read more carefully 🤣my Evelyn Woods training is slipping.. Thanks

We really aren't on the cruise just to annoy you.  Maybe we should just stay home?

Nope...never gonna happen. Keep right on going. I know how hard it is to get an accessible cabin. Last cruise we wanted to do the 7 day eastern Caribbean, but the only accessible cabin we could get was if we did it as a b2b. So we was forced to do a 14 day cruise just to get an accessible cabin. (They really didn't have to twist my arm too hard) but it is the point that we couldn't get it for just the 7 days.

Our DS is going on our next cruise with us. He wants to know if they make grasshoppers, I've never seen them on the menus not would imagine they could make them, they have everything to make them there. Has anyone ever tried to order on? Oh....btw..Put me down for the dirty banana 🤣

If someone rents scooter but has never used one before, that can be a danger to others.

On a very long cruise(and it was the first couple of days into it), I stepped out of my cabin. A person in a scooter going as fast as they could, ran over top of my foot. ..Going too fast and apparently couldn't stop. Person wasn't in front of my cabin but down the hall when I was exiting. I had one foot in the hall. Needless to say, I had pain, hard to wear shoes the rest of the cruise. The person that did it. Jumped off his scooter . The scooter wasn't a mini size one but a heavy full size. He said he never had one before but thought it would be nice renting one. He demanded to see my foot and I was screaming in pain and said no. I never got his name and he never came down that hall again in the scooter.My friends next door to me were  also in the hall so he had to have seen them too.I thought later I recognized him but he wasn't utilizing the scooter, just walking.

They should set up a tent outside of the ship where you have to pick them up and first. Make sure at the minimum make sure they know where the speed control know and that they do not have a brake and can't stop on a dime. 😞 I have used DW's scooter for things like loading onto the lift we have on the car (She doesn't like doing that) if you don't use them regularly they take time getting used to.

I use one. You're quite right they shouldn't be parked outside cabins, it's awkward to you able bodied but impossible for me to pass. The room service carts are almost as inconvenient but usually I can push them along a bit into an alcove. People who leave their plates and uneaten food outside their door are at the bottom of the heap for me though, not really because it's difficult passing, I just don't like that sort of manners and consideration.

Most scooter and wheelchair users feel more strongly about this issue than you do, and are actually compromised by it, but are used to the able bodied's mindset and are inured to it, whether from passengers or crew we can see how you think!

I don't know why you'd think I don't feel strong about this issue. I am still sort of able bodied, but my DW uses a scooter. I make sure we have an accessible cabin so we can park it in the cabin. If I can't get us an accessible cabin, I her scooter does come apart into 4 parts, I would take them apart everytime we go into the cabin and put it in there. It would not be easy for me but I feel that is what would need to be done. I had to retire because my job was too hard on this old body, 13 years in the army did wear and tear on this old body and 38 years at my last job was very physical. Not saying I want sympathy or anything, just saying one should not assume that not everyone takes this kind of behavior is acceptable.

On my last Princess cruise there was a scooter parked in the hall every day of the cruise.  I complained top the desk about it every day and it was never moved.  So much for management enforcing rules.

 

DON

On our last cruise I saw them move a few of them. Guess it depends on the crew and the ship. It is a hazard in emergency situations. Could you just imagine (Heaven forbid) a fire with smoke filled hallways half blocked by scooters?? I'd like to think if you put your complaint about the safety issue it might be fixed faster 🤣

Since 2022 they've provided a leaflet with lunch options for embarkation day. 

I just look at the MDR's to see which is open, I never take any of those papers anymore....DW has bought enough art work...I don't want to end up with anymore 🤣

Do fill out the mobility questionnaire for Princess.  Be aware the staff will probably not allow you to motor up & down the gangway, they will want to push you in manual mode (it is also probably in your rental contract not to use it to motor on the gangway) read your contract carefully.  Safe travels!

I motored DW's scooter up and down the gangway (because she was afraid to 🤣) hers is not a rental though.

A folding scooter is a smart choice - the crew are usually quite happy to load into onto a tender so long as you can step aboard. Full size, fixed mobility scooters are banned from the tenders.

I have seen that on a couple of our cruises it was not a ships tender but a contracted boat being used, they picked up a couple regular scooters for the passengers as long as they could step onto the boat. Those boats had several crew members and two of the crew would lift it over.

If you ask a crew member they may not tell you about the MDR, you may have to find which one is open on your own 🙂

Arizonaperson Did a great job with the information, If you didn't get an accessible cabin or lucky enough to get a folding scooter just be sure not to leave it in the hallway please, as they are hard to get around and you may find it moved by staff. We had an accessible cabin last time for DW's scooter and there is plenty of room in there for them. 

I guess they finally figured out nobody listens to the boarding times they give out anyway. 🤣🤣

They no longer assign times. You didn't say where your departing from, but if the ship you are going on arrives to your departure port early morning then you should be able to board starting boarding around 10:30-11:00am and I believe you must be onboard about 2 hours before departure.

Please remember we are talking about a company that hired an outside company to create an app for the medallions 7 years ago and they still haven't gotten it right and still are working on it. I just think they need new leadership up top 🤣

The 3 wheel scooter DW has looked a lot like almost all the rented ones we saw onboard. The one she has has the following specs.YMMV We always get an accessible cabin to make sure we have plenty of room with it inside.

Having T-Mobile myself, I know my plan would not cover it, nor would I chance it. But the closest I could find on the website was this.

In my past experience with Carnival it was only one per cabin but the person I spoke to from Princess today told me everyone in the cabin that has stock can get on board credit. I was afraid that wouldn't be the case, but it's okay. What is FCD?

Only military is per guest, CCL has always been 1 per cabin for as long as I can remember. Both military and stock OBC are now non refundable. So be sure to use it all or lose it. Last cruise we put most of our OBC into the casino and cashed out what was left (we don't really gamble a lot 🤣).
