March 14th cruise on Sky.  We cancelled it on 3/7 and received our EZAir credits and taxes within a few days. We chose Option 2 and got FCC to show up on May 15th.  Princess processed our refund to our CC on 6/9.

Nothing yet for our March 14th cruise.

No: March 14 & March 21 Sky Princess.  Did get CC refund for EZAir and port fees, PVP, taxes etc.

We just got our FCC today, after Princess cancelling on March 12th.  

How did you find out about your FCC refund? Did Princess email you or did you Just keep monitoring your captains circle account?

We are waiting for any info about our 3/14 cruise.

Nothing yet for us.  Did you see it in your Circle Savings Account or somewhere else?

Yes, it shows up in the "Circle Savings Account"

I checked our princess account this morning and found that we had received 100% FCC applied to our accounts.  However, we had opted for the option# 1 thus we were expecting to see 225% FCC.  Our cruise had been scheduled for 3/14 & 3/21.  Has anyone else seen this?

My PVP told me the FCC could not be used as a deposit on a new cruise.  She said I needed to pay the required deposit or use a future cruise deposit FCD if I had one available.  It doesn't make sense to me that the FCC can't be used as deposit $$$ but that is what she told me.

Try this one , as well.

We also save all our cruise documentation in folders in a plastic box.  One of our favorite documents is the final bill from a Carnival cruise we took in the late 80's with our 11 and 13 year old daughters (their first cruise).  The first day out sunning on deck I ordered each of them a virgin strawberry daiquiri which they just loved.  Wanting to let them soak in the experience, I advised them that while they were out, on their own, they could order the same drink from any bartender and they would bring it to them. My youngest daughter took my advice to heart.  When I got the final bill it contained 13 bar charges in the final 5 days of our cruise, all for the same $4.35 from bars all over the ship.  I felt like the dad in Home Alone 2 when he saw the hotel charges for Kevin's room service. 

Occasionally we pull that room bill out and show that to our daughter and laugh about it.

Another suggestion is to get the plastic sleeves with the wired screw on attachments. The first ones i ordered gad the plastic loop attachments that do wear out and can be pulled off. The wired or cable looking ones are more secure. 

I agree with you!  We have had both kinds as well and while the plastic loop ones didn't really wear out or break, they are a lot harder to get on the baggage than the steel loop screw type.

Do you recall which ship gave credit for cards turned in? 

We surrendered two old cards on the CB during our November cruise for goodwill credit.

Why does it have a date of 03/01/2015?

Sorry I didn't notice that little detail.  At least we know where it docked that day.🤗

The Caribbean and the Regal will both be sailing from Fort Lauderdale on March 1st.  How do I find out which terminal the Regal will be at?  We are on B2B on the Regal starting on Feb. 23 and I like to walk over to a store on the FLL day in the middle to restock my soft drinks.  I know the walk is not bad from Terminal 2, but have no idea if it would be even possible from another Terminal.

Harbor master report shows Port 02 for the Regal om 3/01.

During our cruise in Nov/Dec on CB we took two of the cards to the International Cafe and the barista in turn sent them passenger services and within a couple days our shipboard account had been credited $1 per unused punch labeled "Goodwill Credit".  I know that is just a token amount but it was something for our trouble.

We are also in an S4 suite in March on the Sky.  Could I ask what cabin you are having the issue with?

We had the same situation as you in November where we had scheduled two separate cruises. We managed to get a round-trip ticket thru EZAir by changing the default return date to match the end of the 2nd cruise.  It worked fine for us. 

One other thing to remember, is the future cruise credits are charged to your credit card on file and not to your shipboard account. You will get an email confirmation for each credit purchased. FCC's are easy to purchase once on board using the Medallion Class app or at the FCC desk.

Our check arrived just two weeks after we got home.  I would agree with "Hlitner" that it does look a bit like junk mail.

They were going through a lot of effort to position the two panels next to each other and to grind off a corner of the first panel installed.  To me that suggests that the panels are going to be there a while and may be more than a temporary support for finished sections.  Hopefully someone will post a picture of the rear corner when the Glory leaves New Orleans.

From the view this morning it appears they welded nine of those panels in place.

Fox8LiveNews in New Orleans reported at 5:30AM there would be some itinerary changes.  They also reported that Carnival had sent emails to passengers reflecting the changes.  Don't know if this is true but that was their report.  They also have a good look at the overnight repairs, whick of course were still going on as the sun was coming up. 

We just came off B2B on the CB, (14 day + 10 day).  They were booked as separate cruises.

When we first signed on to the internet our minutes were shown as the total for both cruises so yes they carry over. 

My DW drinks a lot of specialty coffees and quickly uses most of her "punches" so we traded our minibars for coffee packages on both cruises. At the beginning of the 2nd cruise I had in excess of 20 specialty coffees remaining on my account so yes the specialty coffees do carry over.

That was our experience from two weeks ago.

Of course the cruises do count as two cruises toward your Captain's Circle status. 

We were just on the CB two weeks ago and we rented a full cabana for $140 for half-day.  I might assume the other ships costs are about the same price.  My recollection is the full day was $220.

We just got off the CB.  There are no USB ports in the room.  There are a couple AC receptacles one in the bathroom and one on the desk by the hairdryer.  Depending on you room, you may be able to reach the ac port located behind the TV.  We were able to plug a USB charger hub in there.

I just logged in with Chrome 1 minute ago. Maybe the problem is solved?

We took these pics last week.  It is a nice place for youngsters.
