Invitation to pre-embarkation lounge in Fort Lauderdale

[voyager1964]

Some people have reported getting an invite to a pre-embarkation lounge in Fort Lauderdale. With that, the specific requirements for the invite are unclear. Hope that with this poll, we would be able to figure out who is likely to get the invite.

You need to add in " I wa in a suite and I called my PVP / Princess to get an invite to this lounge"

We have been invited twice. We were in a full suite and we were driving in so we did not go.

Received our email invitation a few weeks ago followed by a phone call today with details; looking forward to the experience!

Very interesting, I tried o do exactly this last month and came out with nothing 😞 

Unfortunately, I can no longer edit the post...

We were in a full suite but did not have a red-eye flight

Elite in a Suite and no invite.

Contact your Princess vacation planner. They can get that for you

We also asked our CVP and she hooked us up. They did say they tried to contact us anyway but if you don’t answer the phone they don’t leave a message and move on to someone else.

I thought they were sending emails now?  We are 18 days out and haven't heard anything yet about the Go lounge so I was thinking of reaching out to our CVP.

Do it. Talking to your CVP ensures you will get an invite. Why leave it to chance.

Haven't heard back from our CVP yet which is curious.  However, our friends did ask about it through their TA and apparently were able to talk to someone in the Princess office in Fort Lauderdale.  They were told that the Go lounge was a pilot test and is no more.  Sounds bizarre as there have been recent reports of people being invited to it?

Will this also work if I am using a Travel Agent. I do not use the Princess CVP so can my Travel Agent arrange this with Princess?

I am currently on the Princess Enchanted.  I did not receive an invite, since I was curious (for next time), I ask the Suite Concierge who gets invited.  He said it was a random selection process.

 

Earlier someone mention that they were able to call their PVP and get invited, which seems to contradict what the Concierge said.

We will be on the Enchanted on April 27th in a full suite.  Per my earlier post our friends who are also in a full suite were told by Princess that the Go lounge was a pilot and they are no longer offering it.  Would you mind asking the suite concierge if that is accurate?  Our CVP is still looking into this for us, he had never even heard of the Go lounge!

I doubt it.

A Princess CVP can get you added to the list even if the rest of the invites are random. We were clearly added to the list at the bottom. Our names were hand written in to the print out. She called the day before.

I will check after the next cruise boards.

This program is still going because my parent's have a cruise scheduled for May 11th and they just received this email.

Would you mind sharing a screen shot of the email, minus any identifying info about your parents (names, cruise booking #)?  I'd like to send it on to my CVP who is still working on this.  Having that would be helpful.
