Your $250 non-refundable OBC will be use to pay off the automatic crew appreciation.

Unlike NCL, OBC CAN be used towards the daily gratuities, so no need to worry about spending elsewhere, unless you will still have more after gratuities are charged. They are posted daily to your folio.

I believe that OP stated they had Plus so no need to worry about mandatory gratuities.

You can usually restock during port visits.

I just looked at several cruises and none had this upgrade offer.

OP is not in the U.S.

6 credits for sailing solo in a suite for 3 days?

4. 2 each way.

A BIG THANK YOU to all who responded to clarify this issue. It was unfortunate that the first individual I contacted via Chat wasn’t really knowledgeable. When I made my call to Princess customer service this morning “Lano” was very thorough and even contacted a supervisor to be sure he gave me the correct information.

 

Hopefully these posts will be helpful for any other cruisers that might be confused in the future. Also we have a Celebrity Sunset Veranda cabin booked for 2026 and will have this information for reference.

You ask the questions and the Peanut Gallery (shout out Howdy Doody) will usually provide the correct answers. Usually more reliable than calling Princess.

Wrist band for me. I put it on before I get to the port or baggage claim if using a Princess shuttle.

Can OP leave the ship in Norfolk??

Of course they can.

There may be some PVSA fines that need to be taken care of, but they can leave. It's not jail.

Thanks for the correction. I missed the "Sun  Princess" part.

Mini suites have a tub/shower in the bathroom. Will this be an issue for you?

Try to get an accessible mini suite for a roll in/rollout shower with a bench seat.

Yeah- it ha happened to me. It's the weekend, give it a day or two.

I think Princess is missing out on some revenue for first run movies. 

Are you encouraging more "nickle and dimeing"?

None that I can recall.

AND - It makes a spiffy refrigerator magnet! 😁

I think that most of the King crab has been replaced by Dungeness crab.

Get some in a port stop. They will be available!

Bottles are not allowed on Princess, only sealed cans. 
See the multiple posts including the quote: “Guests are also prohibited from bringing water, sodas and other non- alcoholic beverages on board that are packaged in bottles.

Beg to differ, but in San Diego port stop I brought on 2 one liter bottles of Dr. Pepper.

No questions asked.

Please provide the source for this. Thanks.

Personal experience.

Don't forget you can resupply during port visits.

It was closed about 3 weeks ago.

I've been in F303 and F307, enjoyed them both. The oddball cabins are F301 (less counter space under the windows) and F315 (handicap room). Zero smoke or noise from the casino as the stewards lockers buffer the sound. Try to keep the doors at either end of the hallway closed to reduce the number of stray passengers wandering in your area. F303 had some strange coloring in the bathroom tiles, a re/pink florescent color IN the tiles, not on the tiles near the toilet.

Great deals in a great location. I have one more booked for Jan, '25 and one on the CB in '26.

That's true... how is smoking marijuana anything like drinking beer in a pub?

Because both are legal and no one should care what you do if it is legal.

Quit trying to make an argument over this.

Just now, d9704011 said:

You can't smoke inside a pub.

I never said that you could!

OP: consume freely. Return to the ship. It's that simple.

 

Outerdog is completely correct on this. No different than stopping at a pub for a pint or two.

Just take an isolated walk and have a smoke. Maybe a quiet marina or a walk along a jetty/breakwater.
