I placed the phone call at 1:30 and have been holding on for 3 hours waiting to make a reservation with the princess casino department.  Wondering if everyone is actually on other calls or is something wrong.

They are all working from home I was told. Many are trying to book with FCC in past couple of days. Good luck getting a good casino deal

What I was saying is that this is not the regular princess number and it is not for people trying to use FCC's.  This is just for the people who got the email for a casino deal last thursday.  So yes, there is a great casino deal and that is what these people are talking about.

It took me 2:47 minuets to get to a human. Once there it was a breez. Usually I can’t take advantage of these freebies due to poor timing. Hopefully the Enchanted Princess will sale as promised.

I read today that they are starting to open up the shipyards in Italy.  And the Enchanted was almost ready for sea trials when they closed.

What is the difference in a sideways interior and a regular just did my first inside room and didn't mind it but still prefer a balcony of course...

 

In a regular cabin the door into the cabin is near the bathroom and the beds are further away.

 

In the sideways cabin the door is near a bed. When you go in the bed and desk are in one direction and the counter with the TV and fridge, the closets and the bathroom are in the other. The cabin is slightly larger than the normal inside cabin and the layout makes better use of the space. In the Grand Class sideways cabins the closets had doors on them while on the Regal class the closets have no doors. Since the bed is near the door to the hallway others can see the bed area when you open the door.

 

Just as with regular inside cabins, with the sideways cabins avoid (repeat -- avoid) the cabins which have two additional beds mounted on the wall if you will only have two people in the cabin.

Sorry I am unclear as to what number you are talking about. Please post the number. 
 

the OP did not mention which number he was on hold for so let long nor a casino promotion. 
 

glad to hear some are able to take advantage of that.

I wouldn’t wait three hours on the phone even if I was to get a cruise for free. But my wife will 😳😁

Neither would I.

I have had success trying different phone numbers to get through recently. 

They are working from home & the rep. was able to handle all of my inquiries.

No not confused. I assumed that, but my comment was meant in jest, since the original time posted was 1:30, not 1:30PM. ...hence the 😉 in my comment.

I don't feel that I should post the number.  If one is eligible for this, they would have received an email and that included the number.

Sorry I didn't notice that.  

[echoshipmate]

Surprised to hear that some folks wouldn't wait a couple of hours for a free cruise, a premium beverage package, free gratuities and free WiFi. I have the time to sit on hold, lol.

[echoshipmate]

Oh yeah, I forgot free gambling money too.

My PVP was able to book for me today and put in for an upgrade.  She said they will call me for an upgrade soon.  She said they usually weren’t able to book casino offers but Princess is so overwhelmed that they were allowing it.
