Agreed, weve Never seen that many people disembarking at the same time. Why did the ship allow this? They were obviously NOT early self disembark guests, as many didn't have a roller bag with them! You were to have your Own bags to self disembark. Ship screwed up on this one. And weve never seen such a cluster getting to the Escalators off ship. There was No way to get to escalators without going under the ropes & getting yelled at. Ft.Laud staff really made a Mess of it! I hope this gets corrected asap.

Yes thats the parking garage we always use. Be ready to be charged $352 for our cruise parking. Thats why I wanted some Verification before we Paid that. (I was going to have a family member drop us off & pickup. I'd rather give them $352) It sounds easy enough to get reimbursed onboard, but Who does it? And does it Really happen? We have NOT felt like Prestige so far! Reason I'm hesitant paying, is because last cruise I had to go to Cust service 5 different times to TRY to get my FCC that was supposedly applied to this cruise, but I never got it! Finally talked to Finance Mgr (in Cust Serv dept) and he gave me lip service as well. It was never corrected. $200 FCC down the drain. So I'm not feeling warm & fuzzy believing what they say.....

Youre looking at an OLD thread. That info has all changed. Casino dept dismantled. Your 888# will get you to the Overseas call center. We do NOT deal with them. Get a Cvp & use them for all your casino bookings. More info in "Cruise Casinos on home page, scroll to the bottom.

Have you heard anything at all? Were on same cruise, and still crickets from Prestige host whoevers? I've sent emails to a casino host that I know of on a different ship, and to customer service TWICE. Cvp sent an email to casino whoevers. Nobody has responded.😖 (I just sent a third email to 4 different Princess casino emails, asking does Anyone help Prestige guests?)

We did that exact disembarkation last month. One roller bag & one small carrybag that fit on top of the suitcase. So yes, we had one free hand for escalator. We went to the Elite area for disembarking when they opened and there was Nobody there. No staff, No guests... it was like they all left. So we asked staff walking by, and they just pointed us to the way out 2 decks below. We had to get in Elevator AGAIN to reach deck 5. All the while, tons of people were also leaving then!?! Mind you we booked the earliest SELF disembarkation time, and were met with a thousand people all leaving Ruby at the SAME time! Never have I seen so many newbies, and wheelchairs and Everybody getting off at the Same time. Walking down the gangway, you could see the line was already long. Problem was, the staff OFF ship was funneling Everyone into ONE VERY LONG LINE for the Elevator! The line was NOT moving. So we ended up going under the ropes to the Open line that led to the Escalators! The florida staff OFF ship tried to stop us and a few others, but we Knew what they were doing was wrong. There should have been TWO lines. One for Escalators and one for Elevators! They were creating a cluster, and we had a plane to catch.

Weve not had a prob once were onboard booking Crown Grill, either by phone app, on tv (dining), calling Dining Line, or easier yet we walk up to Crown Grill when we see someone at the podium (usually 4-5pm) and book there. Also if you are willing to take 5 or 8 pm? Seems those are usually most available timeslots. For other dining like Main dining? I've also given up on the App as sometimes those reservations booked ahead of time on the app, disappear once onboard. So I look on the cabin Tv " DINING" when we get onboard, and scroll thru the nights, & book most Dining nights right there. Long story short, I stopped worrying about booking dining ahead of time on the app.

I thought you only got airport transfers IF you're booked at the Princess hotel? We booked our own hotel in Southampton, so booked National Express coach from Heathrow to Southampton. Very easy to do online.

We used (the old app) often, for ordering drinks & room service onboard. Worked very well. Also can text each other or use the Find passenger feature if you can't find your cabinmate. Check your Account... stuff like that.... we found it useful. Really hoping the new version works as well. 🙈

We have a cruise in a couple weeks. Was really hoping we could get away with the Old app a little longer. It was all done. Green lane, yada. Sorry to hear the old one is shut down. darn....

Wow sorry to hear that. Our friends flights to FLL today to board Carrib were cancelled. (JetBlue said storms off coast) Had they taken the later flight? They just might have been able to board afterall. Unfortunatly they didn't have EZAir. And no way to know ship would return, if thats the reason its returning? I wonder how many other folks didn't get to board today due to weather and cancelled flights?

What do you mean?

Youre also getting the same lame-o come back & play offers. Princess is hoping we will jump to book these lesser packages. Plus, need to pay for Plus pkg or pay for cabin upgrade, etc. Your other offer, book by May 10...is also Not great, compared to the past. I'm letting those expire and see whats next.... theres no hurry, over a year away. Eventually Princess may come to their senses and want good players back.

Good friend sent me a dozen little ducks for hiding on next cruise.... well once the 3 yr & 4 yr old grands found them at home? They decided their fun to play with, so the ducks will be staying home. (for as many Princess cruises weve been on, I've only found ONE duck) 😜

I asked this question last cruise on Ruby, couple weeks ago. Seems its Not happening anytime soon on Princess, if ever. However good friend who cruises with NCL, say their (Ultimate) ship tour Has been reinstated and only $99. Includes the Bridge.

I am nervous for you booking outside the alotted timeframe for cruise. Nothing or All could be expired if booking outside the cruising timeframe. It seems to depend on Who you talk to. Document Everything! Also, Do NOT let them get away with Not giving you your Freeplay! Some of us have been having issues with this. Make sure it shows up on your Travel Summary, and when it does? Bring the hard copy with you on this cruise. Hope it all works out.

I am dying to hear how many Points you earned on your last cruise to get "highest" CBS offer? And which Ship?? Thanks

Thanks for your reply. Hoping we might hear from other Prestige guests? Last minute email notice is Not what we need. Prestige are Princess' best players. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️

Hi Palo, I responded to you in Cruise Casinos topic. But we haven't gotten anything on Prestige details yet either. Its less than a month away.🤨

Were on same cruise. Have received nothing about Prestige.

Are you talking about the small picture of yourself, as your walking up to your door?? I never thought to change it cuz the picture doesn't last long. Its displayed (tiny) in the middle of your door panel, for maybe 10 secs. Its about the size of a nickle. Picture is only there long enough for you to walk up and open your door handle. Its hard to see IMO, plus Nobody but you is going to see it.

Well, we play alot more than that, but it the same kind of thing.... My past few Come Back & Play offers have topped out at Balcony & $600 FP. No matter how many points you play over 7,000 points.🤔 We just got back from a 10 day cruise, and got that SAME (lame) Come Back & Play offer. (Balc & 600 FP, Nothing else, No Plus perks etc) Needless to say, Not going to book it.... I played less this trip, cuz we Knew thats all were gonna get. So why play more?

Thats what were doing too, Playing LESS next few cruises we have booked. Because theres No incentive to play, if thats all youre going to get? Its like Come Back and Play offers are topped out for all of us, No matter how many points you get! I have Not booked ANY cruises weve gotten lately because they didn't include Plus Perks. (I have a comp casino cruise very soon, with ALL the Perks, but it was from an offer last year.) Like I said before, we have no plans to go over 7,000 points, cuz Points won't matter. Yesterday, I got a new Prestige offer that includes all the bells and whistles. THAT I will book. Not all the others.... Because if it doesn't include Perks that you are used to, for your level of play? Not gonna book it.

Washing & hand san is all Good. But Please remember Virus is spread, Airborne! When I got bounceback Covid, my Only clue to test again was I sneezed a few times. I felt ok, just a few sneezes, but tested just in case..... Positive! 😳 So please consider GOOD Masks on top of your handwashing. Good luck all.

Were just the opposite about Ruby! lol We were (stuck) ugh, Had Ruby out of San Francisco, too many times, felt like forever.... We sailed on her enough. So the thought of flying to Florida to sail AGAIN on Ruby? Kind of rubs us the wrong way. But were going for itinerary. And really Hopiing shes in much better shape and Less Smokey!
