OMG- comp cruise

[PacnGoNow]

Has anyone had trouble getting through to your CVP today?

 

Seems they are swamped.  Sent an email last night and called today.  She is in today, I verified.

🥴
@dog Thank you and have fun on your cruise!

Tried to e-mail my CVP today and received and auto reply e-mail stating, while she is in, ALL CVPs are in mandatory training 5/6 and 5/7 and will resume their normal schedule 5/8.

Thanks for the reply!  That’s not good, was wanting to tell her my selection for the comp Star cruise.  Oh well…

Maybe email Jen Wright in the meantime so you don't get locked into an interior, unless that's what you want.  My pvp called me first thing this morning, and again this afternoon to finalize everything. No problems reaching her at all.  Didn't mention anything about training.

Yes, email Ms Wright. She’s an absolute pleasure to work with

Yes, I emailed her initially and maybe will again if my CVP doesn’t respond soon.

 

Thanks.

Thank you, I have emailed her in the beginning of this. She was  impressive.

I have had no problem contacting my CVP.   She has been very responsive and everything is complete, including the following cruise.

Good for you!  Thanks.  You’re on the TA?

Sometimes, 'too good to be true' can be true. What's life if we don't take chances and hope for these moments? Seriously, we can't talk down to those to who took the leap. For some people this was a blessing and it worked out in a positive way, to give them a life experience they wouldn't otherwise have. It may have been an error for Princess cruises, but for others it was the greatest gift. Life is short--take chances and live it for every second it's worth! 

I don't believe I talked "down" to anyone. Most of the time it's true - if it's too good to be true, it probably is. However, there are exceptions, of course.

Yep, seeing as we are over that we may as well.

Somewhere in this thread (I think) we were asked to share our resolution. So, Here's mine

Inside IE is just not for me.  I accepted the upgrade to DA Deluxe Balcony for $1260.00 (I am a solo)  I worked with Jen Wright directly via email after my initial experience with chat.  Jen was excellent to work with. Below is my confirmation from Jen

 

Hi Holly - 

Done!  I have moved your room to DA and the booking is now showing a balance due of $1260.  Please pay online through Cruise Personalizer today or let me know if that's not possible.  The upgrade requires same day payment or the system will cancel, but I can put an additional few days on it as needed.

 

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.  

 

Best, 

 

Jen

 

I am also booked on the TA, so now I am looking forward to a lovely 21 days on the new Star Princess (Fingers crossed it goes as planned)  Will have to be very careful planning this trip.

 

So it is a good outcome for me

[ProfMHC]

Looks like we’re getting a good group together for the full 21 days!

Exactly.  Any substantial discount is a bonus.  We booked after all the omg hoopla and are thrilled to receive any thing at all, knowing that it was most likely an error.   We can easily survive A cruise in an inside cabin with no problem!

Has anyone set up a roll call for the October 15 cruise?

Our resolution was: we upgraded to a deluxe balcony but we chose one of the really big ones forward on deck 14.  We're also booked on the TA, also in a deluxe balcony but not the same cabin as the 7 day.  

[ProfMHC]

Our resolution was:

1 we had already purchased the TA long ago

2 my husband would never approve an interior — ever

3 initially I’d decided to wait till our CVP had more info on Monday re: upgrades

4 prices by then had been on CC and we’d decided to upgrade to a mini because it was at a significant discount

5 wrote to Jen and she quickly responded 

6 Jen booked us into a mini on the same deck as our TA cabin

7 so … resolved to our satisfaction 

8 21 days! And $400 OBC to burn!

It is posted to the Sun Princess Roll Calls.  I found it searching on your user name.  It would a good idea to title it something like Star Princess Med and Western Europe Passage TA Oct 15, 2025.  Many of us are doing the B2B, so why not combine them and welcome all from both cruises.

Thanks, I was looking for it.

I’ll see what I can do.

You can ask to have the one under Sun Princess deleted and start a brand new one in Star Princess.  I think you may be able to select report under the 3 dots on the top right in your post.

I found this:

You can't directly delete a post on Cruise Critic, but you can report it and ask a moderator to remove it. To report a post on a PC, you can:

1. Move the mouse cursor over the post
2. Select the Report post link in the upper right corner
3. In the box, write "please remove my post"

 You did it correctly!  It's now gone from the Sun page and I see you already posted another one of the Star page.

 

Enjoy the planning!!
