  1. In the description of what is included in the premier beverage package, it says "...package includes sparkling or still bottled water...". Is "still bottled water" the term Princess uses for regular bottled water? I've never heard it called "still water".
  2. The cruise port information will be in your personalizer. If you click on the departure port, you will get information like I get for my upcoming cruise (details deleted to save space) San Francisco, CA, USA - General Information Port Details Port Address Luggage Handling Distance and Taxi Information Directions to Port / Driving Directions Parking Information
  3. If I was to ask the steward how much he got from the pool, I would be asking for a percentage amount, not a dollar amount. I may be wrong, but I think when Incognito1 asked the steward how much he makes from the pool, he was asking about a percentage amount.
  4. I'm sorry to hear that you travel with such a bad group! Go Android! 😁
  5. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's still a bribe.
  6. I wonder if they will accept the share's beneficiary. My CCL stock is in my IRA so I can't transfer it to my wife or make her co-owner. (Just kidding - I already know that they won't allow it.)
  7. According to Fidelity's research page, the types of stockholders for CCL are 34.1% Intuitional 16.9% Institutional mutual fund ownership 2.5% Mutual fund ownership 7.5% inside ownership 39.0 other I may be wrong but I've always taken "other" to mean mainly individuals.
  8. I'll take military over shareholder. I don't have to do anything for it now that it is in my account. I've already sold most of my shares of CCL. I kept 100 shares just in case CCL sees the errors of their way and allow the military and shareholder OBC to be combined.
  9. I am eligible for the military OBC and the shareholder OBC. I sold all but 100 shares of CCL today. I would have sold all of my shares, but I am optimistic that CCL will see the errors of their way and allow a person to have both types of OBC at the same time. It doesn't bother me if both are non-refundable.
  10. On cruises, that's what was given to us as part of the photo package. On the last cruise with a photo package, just got a regular flash drive. What a bummer (and cheapness on the part of Princess).
  11. I meant non-refundable but still available even if you have shareholder OBC.
  12. I would like to have taken the UST. But, all I wanted was a subset of it. All I wanted to see was the bridge and maybe the engine room. I didn't need or want most of the gifts included in the $150 charge. How about a Geek Ship Tour? All that is shown are the bridge and the computer server room? Gifts? A USB flash drive in the shape of a Princess ship.
  13. This shareholder and veteran did not receive a letter. Even if it is via snail mail, I should have received it by now. They could have made the military OBC non-refundable rather than make it a choice of it or shareholder OBC.
  14. On our 5 cruises, I requested the robes. At least twice, I had to request the steward to give them to us.
  15. We are renting Enterprise in Hilo, Honolulu, and Kauai. I am getting conflicting information. The web site says they will pick up in Hilo but when I called, the person answering said they can't pick up at the cruise port. When I called Kauai, the phone tree hell eventually connected me to a live person - at Payless! I haven't called Honolulu yet. We are looking at taking a Lyft to and from Enterprise unless we learn they do have a shuttle. I'm going to call again nearer our January cruise.
  16. Email address changes need to be done through Princess. Use the chat feature.
  17. I was on the Royal.. There were sensors under the two end tables. I did not have problems with the lights. They were aimed for the floor, not the ceiling. All I hear is complaints about the lights; am I the only one that likes them?
  18. I was able to book specialty and MDR time slots with my cruise not even being close to paid off. At the time, it was over 200 days until the cruise. There was a charge for the specialty dining. I checked my credit card. The charge was listed as "pending" for a few days and then dropped off. I was not charged.
  19. I prefer to do things like excursions and dining reservations on a laptop rather than the small screen of a phone, even a 6.8 inch phone that I have. I think the app should be more of a viewer with the ability to make changes to what was entered on the big screen. The dining reservations were a pain to do. The interface sucks. Give me check boxes and confirm/cancel buttons anytime.'
  20. Theme nights suck. I don't care for white and gold, "Love Boat", or whatever.
  21. That may be fine for non-carbonated liquids. For carbonated liquids, each time you pour it, carbonation is lost. How do people put liquids into their mugs? I do not touch the spigot or pour spout or whatever I am getting my liquid from.
  22. I buy shares of a stock for a return. If I have a choice of either the shareholder or military OBC, I will go with the military. My CCL stock will be sold and the proceeds invested in a dividend paying stock.
