I'm resurrecting this old thread instead of starting a new one... Does booking the Flexible Fare through EZ Air still lock in the price or can it go up until it is ticketed? The fares to Europe have been so high for '23 but just went down quite a bit on EZ air. I would ticket it now, however, this route uses multiple airlines and 2 stops on the way home so I'm hoping for something better to come along. If nothing better for the same price comes along, we can live with it. Thank you!

Hello, We're flying from MSP to FCO and then ATH to MSP next May '23. The actual flights are on Air Canada equipment but can be booked with their partner, United. Even though there appears to be no difference in price, is there any advantage to booking with either one of them? If the flights get cancelled or changed would United be the better one to book through since they have more flight options (connecting cities) in the US?....or does it not matter because they are partners and AC would offer the same flight options? Also, do you think $1080 is a good price for this flight (regular economy, not basic)? Delta does offer a similar price but we do not want to fly out of ATH at 6AM so will pay a little more for a better time. Delta's better flight times are in the $1500's. Thank you!

My heart goes out to you. I'm so sorry for your loss. Life is so uncertain. May he live on in your heart and how wonderful that you two were able to travel so much and build those memories.❤️

Yes! The older ones have the wrap around promenade deck that I really miss.

Could someone please clarify something for me regarding the definition of fully vaccinated and Greece? I called Princess several times before booking our cruise and got different answers from different reps (all very nice but seemed as confused as a lot of us). Our cruise disembarks in Athens and we'll visit a few Greek ports. A few in our group have the double dose of Pfizer and one booster. However, the booster was at the end of 2021. Cruise is May 2023. Is the 270 days (9 months) only applicable from the 2nd of the two shot series, hence not needing an exemption (since they have 1 booster), or from the booster, making an exemption needed? One rep said exemptions aren't needed because only 1 booster is available in USA at this time, so the timing of the booster doesn't apply, just so you have a booster. Another rep thought it probably includes the lapse of time since the booster so an exemption would be needed. Another rep incorrectly told me medical exemptions were needed for Greece!!--we almost didn't book!. The 4th rep confirmed medical exemptions are not needed, just a Princess exemption, which they've been giving out without any problems. Finally, I felt comfortable enough to book but when I called back to see who all would need exemptions, I could tell that rep wasn't 100% sure either, so I got one for all of us even though most might not need it. I know a lot can change by then, but the exemption letters are quite intense (a lot of testing possible throughout the cruise, might only be able to take certain Princess excursions, etc).

Hi, I can't find much info on the Enchanted Princess since it's so new. Does anyone know if these deck 8 cabins, E411-E421 will get a lot of noise from Gigi's Pizzeria below or the Al Fresco Dining Area? (Looks like these places are right below - per deck plan.) We're also considering E334, E324 (looks like they are above the shops) and E614-E620 (looks like they are above the Crown Grill). Am I correct to assume the noise should not be bad? Also, would the life boats & tender boats be in an identical location as on all of the other royal class ships or is this one a little different? There will be 3 of us in a cabin - one gets a bit of motion sickness and another a light sleeper so we're trying to find a happy medium. A bit of extra room and a sofa would be great so that's why I'm looking into this category rather than a regular balcony, which I've had before. Thanks for any input! 🙂 (Sorry if this question gets asked a lot - I haven't posted on these boards in about 4 yrs and I can't figure out the search function.)
