Cards taken from Caribbean Princess

[klugh]

For the people who just returned for the Caribbean Princess, did you have your cards taken from you when you left the ship???

I'm going on June 13 and I like to keep my card for a keepsake.

Thanks Deb

I returned from the CB three weeks ago and they did not take my card.

 

Enjoy your cruise!

Returned from the CB on 5/26.....got to keep my card:)

By reports on this board it seems that the Dawn and the Star have theirs taken. Why I do not know, very strange indeed.

Marilyn, what is even stranger is that I just checked, and they didn't take our cruise cards away on the Dawn this last time, I still have them.

 

It seems to be a hit and miss thing anymore, with the Star Princess being the #1 culprit that is keeping the cards as you disembark.

Toto, it is strange isn't it. Now I am going to be on the Star this Oct. and I suspect they will take my cards too. I will report here if they do not but it is a weird thing that a few ships would take the cards and the rest would not. Should be a fleet wide thing.

We kept ours as I finally threw ours away just the other day......

Has anyone thought to call Princess directly and ask why, or do you think that might have a negative effect fleetwide?

It also seems to have to do with the individual ports - depends on what the port authority wants to do - let you keep them, or take them away. Also, if they are having computer problems on disembarkation, they may keep them in order to manually check everyone out and make sure all of the past voyage passengers are off of the ship.

The problem with calling Princess customer service is that you're likely to get the wrong answer, or if you get a correct answer, who's to say it won't change down the road.

 

If you REALLY need to keep your card, what some people have done is go to the Purser's desk early in the cruise and tell them you lost your card, and they will issue you a new one. I think they disable your first card, so just tuck it away somewhere.

 

I almost hesitate to suggest this because I'm one of those people who wants to keep their card (I scrapbook my cruises), but if enough passengers do this, they will start charging for the reissue.

As one poster noted, they had their Princess cards taken when they departed, but friends departing another brand ship in the same port that day were able to keep their cards. So, in that port, it had nothing to do with the port authority.

We just returned to Brooklyn on the CP yesterday. We had to use the cards to "dong" off the ship, but we were able to keep them.

Have never had to relinquish my card when disembarking a Princess cruise (51 to date). This was the case on the 3 Caribbean Princess sailings I did in May.

 

However, in February on the Queen Mary 2, I did have to relinquish my card upon disembarkation.

Come over to our Roll Call board for that cruise. We have the best group of people ever.

[Bully Momma]

No. They "punched us out" and returned them to us.

Debarked yesterday in San Francisco from the Dawn Princess and they kept our cards.
