He was on Pacific Princess two days ago in Europe for $24.95 in a Captains Uniform. Didn't see any other outfits available separately.

The Wake Show had about 3 different "advertisements" for him wandering around (staff member in a bear costume) to various venues onboard Pacific Princess.

OP will likely try a different cruise forum as well as a different cruise line now as they haven't received an apology from anyone here either!

We were ahead of schedule by about 10 minutes at St Petersburg so the tour guide made an extra stop telling us we had to be back on the bus in 10 minutes as we would be leaving one minute later. We literally ran to see all we could see and get back to the bus with 2 minutes to spare. Then we sat there for 10-12 minutes as two people were missing. They finally showed and we were in our way. Instead of about 5 minutes of actual site seeing there we could have had 15 but instead we got an extra 10 minutes of looking at the bus. Then we all lost 10 minutes at the next stop.

Princess also did that for several months, but I do not know if it was at the same time as Holland America.

 

Princess called it "What you see is what you pay."

I recall that several years ago now but I had in my mind that this was Port Charges included in the cruise price, not Gratuities Included. I liked it just like I would like to see the cruise price include Gratuities.

On a side note, when recently in Australia to board Emerald Princess I noted that the cruise price there also included Port Charges in Australian $ when I wasn't logged in on the Princess site. Sure wish Princess would include gratuities and possibly port charges in the cruise price for the rest of us.

AE_Collector

<Edit> Oops, I see you were talking about port charges and fees, not gratuities.

Thank you for the details.

 

I'm still not sure what happens with a princess ship, like emerald, doing a single season in Australia.

Is it sailing for Princess Cruises, or Princess Australia?

Emerald Princess was operating in A$ up until April 12 when she left Sydney for NZ and then on to LA and Vancouver. Presumably gratuities were included for Australian passengers.

Initially she was going to operate in A$ on the 7 day Sydney to Auckland but as most (90%) of passengers from Sydney were going to LA or Vancouver and even on to Alaska they decided to change to US$ leaving Sydney on April 12. This change resulted in numerous "problems". For example, a $130 Australian shore excursion became a $130 US shore excursion (rather than $100 US - the Princess exchange rate was 30%) on passenger accounts. This took quite awhile to correct and once it was adjusted we had lost the 10% discounted sale price that we had on these excursions. After waiting awhile for the dust to settle I enquired and they fixed this for us as well but not until we asked so many others may have lost their discounts unknowingly.

I find it acceptable for Princess to say that Gratuities are included on Australian based cruises as they are either topping up the pay or kicking in to top up the gratuity pool on those cruises. If they weren't there would be a noticibly poorer cruise experience there with crew potentially working an entire contract for half their normal amount of pay. We have determined that the "auto gratuities" are really a service charge which is a significant portion of the crew members pay, not an extra $10-$20 for exceptional service.

AE_Collector

The biggest problem as I see it is the use by Princess and the cruise industry of the word Gratuity for this daily service charge. The word Gratuity in many people minds means an extra amount for over the top service, not an automatic charge for a service. This automatically makes people who aren't normally going to tip for service head to the desk to cancel it.

To just include it in the cruise price OR tack it on like the port charges would be an improvement but as someone else pointed out, it is a tax regulation thing that causes these problems.

I feel that Princess didn't help matters by boosting the auto gratuity twice within a year. Many people jumped on this bandwagon complaining that they didn't begin to get that sort of raise in pay/pension while conveniently forgetting that there hadn't been an increase in gratuities in 5 or 6 years prior.

We always have a great relationship with cabin stewards and waiters on cruises but even with the auto gratuities and giving a little extra in cash we still feel a little bad about the level of service we receive versus what we presume they are paid in total for serving us. As much as we always hunt for the best cruise bargain we can find, we would never cut back on what the crew receives on our behalf.

AE_Collector

Thank you for that.

 

However on the UK website, it states that the gratuity will be shared amongst staff across the fleet.

 

My question is simply this: Can the gratuities paid by guests on ship X be shared by staff on other vessels in the fleet ?

 

Annie

I don't see why not. I would imagine it to be a Princess fleet wide pool where everything goes in and out of. It isn't as though crew all board a specific ship for a specific time frame where all gratuities from that ship can be divided up amoungst them. Crew are constantly starting contracts, ending contracts and even moving from one ship to another. The only logical way to administer it in my mind would be fleet wide.

Why does it matter if part of your gratuity money winds up going to crew on another Princess ship as long as some of that ships gratuity money goes to your cabin steward?

AE_Collector

Out comes the usual saying "stiffing the crew" the only people "stiffing the crew" are Princess and Carnival plc who employ them on such poor wages while making billions in profit. Sorry but no service is good enough for me to pay £250+ in gratuities for a couple for 14nts.

So you admit that they are paid "such poor wages" yet you help them out by cancelling your portion of " the rest of their wages" the gratuities! NICE

The Auto Gratuities are gratuities in name only, they are really a service charge. The gratuies are the other half of their wages making their "poor wages" not quite as poor.

The real "gratuities" are the extra given by many passengers over and above the auto gratuities. I don't expect anyone who regularly cancels their auto gratuity to be able to begin to comprehend giving a little extra.

And don't whine about the GBP being off against the US$. It isn't "off" nearly as much as the CDN$ is which I pay for everything on cruises with including the gratuities. That is just life.

AE_Collector

Princess if you are listening: PLEASE start including gratuities in the cruise fare. I am so tired of paying my auto gratuities in full as well as giving a little extra for the wonderful service we receive while others simply cancel their gratuities.How citizens of first world countries can sleep at night when they have stiffed the third world country crew out of a significant portion of their meagre wage for being away from home and family for long periods of time is just beyond me.

On the surface of it, a system of some guaranteed wage plus significant gratuities for doing a good job is a very good system to ensure the crew provide above average service. But, as soon as you make it as easy as saying "Please cancel my auto gratuities" to a person at the Passenger Service desk the system begins to fall apart. That is when some passengers begin taking advantage of not just the crew but also other passengers by cancelling their auto gratuities and those that don't cancel have been seeing the associated increase in gratuities lately.

I'm not saying that there shouldn't be an ability to discuss and maybe adjust the auto gratuity if the passenger legitimately feels they have not received the level of service they expected. But to just cancel it entirely without any discussion about what the problem was and just maybe a reduction of the amount is just wrong. Princess is just taking the easy way out by allowing this to happen as it doesn't directly hurt them to lose some gratuity pool money and it avoids them having a passenger who may go elsewhere next time if they were unable to cancel their gratuities.

It is time to include all gratuities in the cruise fare and put an end to this.

The change to provide multiple credits automatically is relatively recent.

The change came after June 2013 and before April 2014. But, as I posted recently we just did the 29 day Sydney to LA on Emerald Princess (April 12 - May 10) that was clearly bookable as a 7 day Sydney to Auckland and then a 22 day from Auckland to LA. 300 of the 3000 passengers disembarked at Auckland and 300 more boarded.

I called about a month before boarding as my cruise history only showed one "future" cruise credit. The Princess rep agreed that it should show 2 credits and put me on hold while she checked with the CC department. She came back saying the second credit would appear while we were onboard or just after we disembarked. I was suspicious as this isn't how it has worked since 2014, upcoming logical cruises have automatically shown as 2 credits.

We have been home for over a month now and still only have received one credit for the 29 day cruise. The lost cruise credit really doesn't mean much to us as we have more than doubled the number of cruises and cruise days for Elite. We just move a bit slower up the Captains Circle loyalty OBC ladder.

Of course we also had to go 29 days with a single Elite minibar setup when we boarded expecting to share two minibars over that time frame. We also had significantly less internet minutes to get us through the 29 days and just a single wine tasting. These are all perks that we appreciate very much which keeps us coming back to Princess now for over 20 consecutive cruises and 33 total Princess cruises so we were just a little disappointing when we only receive half of what we were expecting to receive.

All in all a nother fantastic cruise though!

Okay, here's exactly what I said (below). I think I included quite a bit of info relevant to your questions rather than just a single sentence reply.

But, I've been trying to talk myself out of responding to posts here so I will take your advice.

AE_Collector

12 day Drydock in Victoria starting December 3. Not after the last Alaska sailing by almost three months. She's coming to Victoria from LA.

 

If the condition of the paint and barnacles on the hull as well as oil in the generators worries you...worry away! But, not too much else that passengers see usually happens at regular scheduled drydocks. Some carpets may be replaced. Crew are constantly being rotated in and out, they aren't all going home at drydock. Crew get a change of pace as they will look after contractors staying onboard, not the somewhat more demanding passengers. Guaranteed that food will be needed for the contractors, they aren't planning to be out if everything when the last passenger disembarks. In most cases the Crew get a shorter work day and more time off and time on shore. Not something that would cause me to be depressed going into a drydock.

Thanks for the review. We spent 10 days on the Pacific Princess in French Polynesia. That was my favorite cruise EVER.

April 1, 2014. We were there too for our first ever cruise on a Princess small ship. We were right acrosss the street from the dock at Papeete and I had to run over to watch her dock at 8PM the night before we boarded. We liked Pacific Princess so much we stayed onboard all the way back to Vancouver 32 days after we boarded. Then 1 month later we flew to England and boarded sister ship Ocean Princess at Dover for 30 days and 2 months later still we boarded Pacific Princess again at Vancouver for 12 days back to Honolulu. A 12 day Hawaii cruise with 6 stops at Hawaii as compared to the normal 15 day Hawaii cruises with only 4 stops. 74 days on the two little ships in a 6 month time frame.

Last summer we finally made it back on board Pacific for another 30 days around GB and up the Norway coast. We are hoping to be back onboard our very favourite Princess ship again real soon and praying that they keep her around for several more years as they have said they will do.

AE_Collector

While MOST Princess cruises to Alaska from Vancouver are the one ways, I think this is the third year in a row that they have scheduled 2 to 4 round trips from Vancouver at the beginning of the season (this year at both the beginning and the end of the season) so you can get a round trip from Vancouver on Princess still. In some prior years Princess has had a ship doing round trips all season long but not lately.

As for "Inside Passage" I too see them (and other cruise lines as well) calling cruises from Seattle up the west coast of Vancouver Island "Inside Passage" which is rediculous. I think it is a case of the usual Alaska stops being between islands or they are islands which (barely) qualifies them to brand it as "Inside Passage". From Vancouver all cruises do go between Vancouver Island and the mainland which is much more scenic but the vast majority of these still don't do what was traditionally the "Inside Passage". They can and have in the past travelled in behind many more islands and through fjords all the way up the BC coast that are what was traditionally known as the Inside Passage.

A year or two ago someone here said how they always do two (B2B) Alaska cruises out of Seattle each summer and I had to bite my tongue to not ask why on earth he wouldn't do the N bound and S bound as a B2B from Vancouver instead if he has two weeks available. Slightly easier out of a Seattle if he lives in the USA but miss out on all the extra Glaciers, seeing a lot more of Alaska much further Northwest and much more of the Inside Passage both ways!

That was our last cruise to Alaska but a bit more of a no brainer since we live in Vancouver.

In theory all the OP needs to do is find someone via the Roll Call who is Elite and swaps out their MiniBar for coffee cards. OP can supply the coffee cards to these Elite passengers in exchange for their minibar once it has been tuned up to what the OP wants it to be comprised of.

The only possible problem for the person receiving the OP's cards is that the coffee cards will quite likely have a past voyage number on a different ship filled in already so won't be usable for coffee/hot chocolate on that sailing. I am still finding the new policy is firmly in place for minibar swap out coffee cards to be filled in for the voyage you are on before delivering them to you.

With 33 Princess cruises behind us I may have booked about 3 of them prior to final payment date and those 3 were booked maybe 90-120 days before boarding. The other 30 cruises have all been booked within final payment time. Our shortest wait from booking to boarding so far is 19 days.

AE_Collector

A topic that I always have lots to say about! I too suspected the OP was on the April 12 Emerald Princess 29 day Sydney to LA. IMHO Princess has the best perks overall and we appreciate them very much!

We've had the "three day warning" cards quite often in the past but this was the first time for us that it was always 3 days and sometimes 4 but we probably put it in too late in the day when it took 4 days. Also there was no priority tendering but that never bothers us. I noticed that even the Suite/Elite line at Passenger Services was missing.

This did make me think just a little that the Elite benefits are occasionally being watered down a little due to too many Elites. This would be just the way it is if everyone got to Elite the same way but it seems to me there are way too many shortcuts to Elite lately. We got one cruise credit for 29 days yet this same ship did the 1 night Vancouver to Seattle cruise just 10 days later where many couples book two single occupancy inside cabins just to get two cruise credits each for less than 20 hours onboard.

It's I think it is important to always have a higher level to strive for. That doesn't have to mean a big expense to Princess though. Laundry usually seems to be the biggest problem on cruises with large numbers of Elite passengers.

Princess doesn't like to rock the boat. Any changes that mean taking something away will create lots of howling. With free laundry solve the problems, don't take it away, just introduce limits to avoid losing the perk all together. All laundry items have a price which is calculated and then refunded to Elites. Set a reasonable limit per Elite Passenger, for example $10 a day. Board a 7 day cruise and each Elite Passenger sees a $70 Laundry credit on their account. They can use it throughout the cruise however they want. This solves the problem of boarding with a bunch of laundry needing done due to a week of travelling before boarding.

Make the allowance generous enough that even this extra laundry won't consume all of your allowance unless maybe you are someone who puts everything in the laundry every time you wear it. Everyone is quick to mention hot climates but even then not everything you wear every day has to go to the laundry.

People frequently mention making a 1 bag per day per cabin limit. Okay but to me that is still over the top. Typically my wife and I put in about 1 bag every 3 days depending on the climate. If we leave it any longer we usually have to put in two bags.

A 5 day cruise and putting in laundry? Really? Maybe if you were on the road at least several days before boarding.

Getting everything cleaned before going home so you don't have to do laundry once home? Really! Abuse of the perk IMHO. If they cancelled the free laundry for Elites, which would you be more upset about: Losing the clean laundry to take home or having to do your own laundry numerous times while on a 28 day cruise? It is such a good perk while you are cruising why run the risk of ruining it to get your laundry cleaned just to take home?

Put some reasonable limits on the Elite Free Laundry, introduce Elite Plus and give them a higher laundry allowance and save Unlimited Free Laundry for a new "Merrill Stubing Class"! Most laundry delay problems solved, passengers no longer sending in laundry for their ten relatives, most Elite passengers still receiving a generous laundry allowance AND extra perks created to give to new higher classes of Elite. Win-Win!

Imagine the money that is sitting in their bank account right now - should we all buy some shares lol

Zero $ extra in their accounts would be my guess. Pending charges to your card certainly doesn't put cash in their account AND, credit card companies take FOREVER to actually pay the funds to the recipient in order to increase their cash flow and offset the fact that you don't pay the credit card company the instant a charge goes through.

Yesterday, May 17th 2017, I Googled the Crown Princess videos, and came across a video that spoke about the Skywalk. It showed the cabins below the Skywalk.

First I've heard of a Skywalk on Crown Princess so I'm sure there is nothing to worry about there!

Actually....it is officially the SeaWalk not the SkyWalk.

True but on occasion there are some younger couples that sail Princess.

Yes....we all just heard from one of them numerous times a few days ago! Don't really think they will be back soon. I think they were in the Crown Princess yet they missed complaining about the MISSING SEAWALK!

AE_Collector

I believe there is a statement right on the final shipboard account printout that is delivered the last night stating a check will be mailed in around four weeks and asking that you get a cash refund from a Passenger Services if you are owed less than $25.

A check will come in an envelope that you may think is just advertising mail so make sure you open anything you get from Princess.

That won't help as I am almost certain that there is no mention of "Princess" on the envelope.

Thanks for the replay guys

 

Plus i bought 2 next cruise coupon and They didnt took the amont on my on board acount, They took It directly from my card , the other company dont do that :(

I think this is part if making it easier to refund your FCD to you if you don't use it within two years.

AE_Collector

For cruise credits, I don't think it matters how the various "legs" of the cruise are able to be booked. What matters is how YOU actually booked the cruise! If the cruise went from Sydney to Auckland then on to LA, it doesn't matter if it was ABLE to be booked as 2 separate cruises if you actually booked it only as single cruise. Booked as one cruise = 1 credit; booked as 2 cruises = 2 credits. Booking as 1 cruise is usually cheaper than breaking it apart and booking as 2 cruises, but not always. Next time, compare pricing and factor in the extra mini-bar, internet minutes and credit...

That's how it worked until late 2013 or early 2014. At that time the Captains Circle department changed things so that it no longer mattered how you booked the cruise but they gave one credit for each cruise looking at it as how you could have booked it to maximize the cruise credits.

10 of us booked a 14 day Alaska cruise on Island Princess in June 2013 that was really two 7 day cruises (a northbound and southbound). 6 of us received 2 points and 4 of us only received 1 point for the 14 day cruise. All were in double occupancy rooms and none were suites. The people who got 2 points were all passengers who were one cruise away from moving up a level when they boarded thus they were moved up a level after the first 7 day segment, received the new colour of cruise cards, received any additional perks their new level entitled them to such as free internet and they received a point for each of the 7 day cruises. Those of us who only received one point for the 14 day cruise were not in a position to move up a level after the first cruise.

I thought for months about calling to enquire about this but figured it was a quirk of changing levels during the cruise and the 6 got lucky and if I brought attention to it they might lose their extra point. One day in early 2014 someone here on Cruise Critic mentioned this change and to call in to get your extra credit retroactively if you were short changed.

I called in and mentioned the cruise and before I was finished the CC rep said yes, I will give you the extra point (shows as a zero day / 1 credit cruise in addition to the existing 14 day /1 credit cruise in my Cruise History). I was about to ask about a similar cruise we had done in 2011 but before I was even able to begin she said "here's another one in your history from 2011 that you get an additional point for as well".

So the way you believe it works hasn't been the way it works since about early 2014. I see this confusion mentioned here on Cruise Critic quite frequently.

The problem with this particular cruise is slightly different though in that they have it listed as a single voyage which in my opinion it shouldn't be as it isn't an overlapping embarkation/disembarkation situation like a few cruises offer. It was likely originally a single 29 day voyage that they later broke up into a 7 and a 22 day voyage to help fill the cabins but they never changed something in a computer somewhere.

I certainly do compare all methods of booking cruises being sure to factor in shareholder & future cruise credits as well as Internet and minibar setups. Since my source of funds is the CDN $ everything including the cruise price, port charges, gratuities and onboard spending now costs me 30-35% more than it did less than 3 years ago due to the exchange rate so we have to look at all possible methods of keeping the price down in order to keep cruising. In this particular example the 29 day version was considerably less expensive than if we had booked it as two separate cruises.

AE_Collector

But adding a tier will do nothing to solve the problem until they move some of the perks up a level which will really start some screaming here on Cruise Critic! It is going to sound as though half of all the Princess passengers will Never cruise on Princess again! And that will be from the passengers that were only two cruises away from finally making it to Ruby Level.

AE_Collector

Well granted there are scenarios where you can get on at different locations. To me the difference is if you can book one part, just the other part or both parts as separate cruises which was the case in this one. 300 people booked just Sydney to Auckland and left with 1 point. 300 more got on at Auckland heading to LA or maybe further and they got 1 point to LA. But Sydney to LA was one point.

I did get two points as we did do the three day to Vancouver as well. That was a separate cruise though it too could be booked separately or attached to the 22 or 29 day cruises. Maybe I am missing something but to me this was bookable as two separate cruises to equal 29 days.

I too have done he Vancouver to FLL Panama Canal cruise that stopped at SF (but not LA) where some passengers left and others boarded. It was available to be booked as a 2 day and a 15 day though we initially booked it as a 17 day all the way but it was back in 2010 so we only got one point for it. Then in 2014 when they began giving two points for such cruises we were given a "zero day cruise credit" for that cruise so we wound up with two points. That is what makes me think that if it is bookable as two separate cruises (not counting the three day to Vancouver), it doesn't matter if you booked it as one longer cruise, they give two points for the cruise. And 4 if single in a cabin and 6 points total if single in a cabin 32 days (3 cruises) through to Vancouver. But that isn't what happened.

AE_Collector

Yes this was the first time our card has been scanned after handing them the invitation. May be something new or maybe just a one off.

I guess this is turning into a review of the 29/32 day Emerald reposition cruise out of Sydney but it was a pretty wide open subject title from the beginning.

I agree, another great Princess cruise. The level of organization on Princess always amazes me. It's almost like they've done it before! Lots of good things to say but I've been accused of being a Princess Cheerleader before so I wont try to list everything.

We are big fans of the onboard lecturers on all cruises. We try to get to all these presentations almost no matter what the topic. We love to Learn on sea days. So, that was our biggest disappointment on this cruise. With LOTS of sea days we only had the port lecturer Doug Pearson. We loved his presentations and his enthusiasm.

Doug did a couple of talks that weren't port lectures but I am virtually certain that he would have done many more if given the venue. I wrote in to the wake show expresding our appreciation of a Doug's lectures and asked if he could do a couple more from Hawaii to LA (5 sea days). I pointed out that he went into overtime on every talk we were at as he has so much info to share. Frequently he had to skip past dozens of slides to get to the end as another event was about to start in the venue. But, in the end only the LA port talk made the schedule on the last 5 sea days. I think that unfortunately lectures just weren't big on the CD/ED's radar.

The one other item that I was a little annoyed about with this 29 day cruise is that we only receive one cruise credit for it. I pointed this out just prior to the cruise on the Roll Call. I know how the system works or at least I thought I did. This cruise was clearly bookable as a 29 day or a 7 day and a 22 day yet there was only one credit point, one mini bar and Inez Internet allotment for the 29 days. I will have to avoid eye contact in the future with this Captains Circle rep, she is tired of my logic. After I first questioned her she indicated she had already informed head office that many people were questioning this. But the next time I spoke with her she was ready with the explanation that Sydney to LA (29 days) was a single "voyage". I reviewed with her how prior to 2014 points were awarded depending how many booking numbers you had not by the number of shortest individual cruises that it could be booked as but that changed in 2014. In this case that didn't matter, it was on the books as a single voyage.

To me this is just a confusion of the way it works. In theory they could call a period of say one calendar year a single voyage on a ship and only give one credit even though it may be bookable as 50 different cruises over the year. I know I am being extreme here but we have no idea what "a voyage" is when we book. All we see is how it can be booked and this could be booked as two cruises. Since 2014 this should have been a two point cruise. It doesn't even matter to me really, we've more than doubled the elite requirement by cruises and/or days.

Had I known that we would only get one mini bar for the 29 days I would have brought on a bit more of my own soft drinks onboard. I also expected 150 minutes of internet for the first 7 days and then 500 minutes for the final 22 days but only got 500 minutes total for the 29 days. We survived, as I said at the beginning it was a great cruise but I like many on cruise critic are here to figure out how things will work before we start the ship and this part of the cruise didn't work as I expected it would at all.

I don't think anything about this was an attempt to slow the progression to Elite or to save money. I think it was just an oversight of some sort. If they wanted to slow the progression to Elite how about some changes on the short cruises such as the 1 night cruise that Emerald does one week from now. People actually book two single occupancy inside cabins on these cruises and leave one cabin empty so they get two points each for a 20 hour cruise.

There were 900-1000 Elites on board this cruise and laundry was always 3 days, there was no Suite/Elite line at Passenger Services and no priority tendering. So the larger number of Elites on some cruises is having a negative effect on all Elite passengers. I really think they need to make some changes. Add an Elite Plus level and maybe another level higher still and all future levels need to be based on days only. The only way to improve things a little is going to be to move some of the benefits up the ladder a little. I've commented before on here that they could easily afford to change Elite laundry to a set limit based on total cruise days instead of wide open unlimited. This way they could set a higher limit for Elite Plus passengers and maybe or maybe not unlimited laundry for those at the top level. This should lower overall the amount of passenger laundry they are doing. The percentage of Elites onboard is just going to continue to get higher and they can barely keep up on some of these cruises.

Enough said, I dont want to sound ticked about any of this. I just pointed out with quite a bit of detail a couple of items that could have been better in our opinion and may need to be looked at more in the future by Princess.

For us this was an excellent cruise!
