I got one the other day, telling me what visa requirements were for my December cruise, as I'm an Aussie, sailing from Sydney to Hobart and return the answer is

 

 

 

NONE.

 

I suspect it's all automated and easier than working out who gets one and who doesn't.

You cut short your plans to return home to check your email? Come on, Steve.. :D

So, I received an email today from the Captain for our upcoming Pacific Princess cruise in August. I have no complaint, in fact I like these emails. It gets me that much more excited (if that's possible ;)). However, I wonder who designs these emails. Am I missing something or is this an "odd" way for the Captain's signature to appear in the email? LOL!!

 

Sincerely,

Captain Capt JP Bryant

Hi Kenswing,

 

My may concern was we were getting up graded, the last up grade

 

took us from a cabin with a view to cabin with no view, was lucky that our

 

original cabin was still available and got moved back, with two weeks to sailing

 

though we could be playing cabin roulette.

 

Hi msmoger

 

Like getting pre cruise e mails, part of the count down to your cruise and provides information,

 

this e mail was point less just confirming booking.

Yeah, JP's signature is definitely screwy. It was that way last year when he commanded the Ocean Princess for a couple of weeks before Rickard Lorentzen came back from his holiday. I even sent a note to Princess about it. Obviously it was disregarded.

 

BTW, JP is young for a captain and is a real nice guy. A true Renaissance Man as well, read his bio.

Shogun-You gotta' wonder-how can they consider going from a cabin with a view to a cabin w/o a view to be an upgrade?! Love Princess, but don't quite understand their upgrade standards. :)

To Princess, an upgrade is to any higher category.

 

You could be in an "obstructed window" category OZ cabin with very little obstruction.

 

But obstructed window categories OY, OW, and OV would all be considered an upgrade by Princess. Some of those cabins will have very little obstructed views and some will have 100% obstructed views. But, being closer to the center of the ship, they would be an upgrade by Princess standards.
