Thanks so much! That was very impressive that you were so busy during the day yet found time to attend all the shows!

Could you please tell me what the productions shows were? We're on her next month.

We were just charged $20 this morning for our medallions. I thought it was $10, not $10 for each of us. Is that correct?

I never found the time to take it but there is also a stretch class.

We don’t have a problem taking a taxi either. If we can take a taxi or Uber to the ocean center, would we be guaranteed to have a taxi to get us back to the ship?

We booked that also and the only reason it makes me nervous is mail, the house, etc. Not the length. We've been on a couple 28 day and doing a 32 day soon. The great thing about the 2026 cruise is that they have a couple Hawaiian islands at the end so that there isn't more than 5 days between land.

We'll be porting in Kahului next month and plan on taking an Uber to the Maui Ocean Center. Someone made a comment that they had to walk really far from the ship to get to the area where they could get an Uber. Then I started looking at how easy (or hard) it was to get an Uber anywhere in Kahului. Now I'm getting concerned that we may have a problem getting there or, more concerning, getting back to the ship. Has anyone had experience getting an Uber there? Especially right at the port?

We just did it last month and it was the 1st sea day and St. Thomas day.

Before. We got the OBC the same day.

My husband submitted our information through our brokerage because he thought it looked secure. Luckily, we have two step verification set up because someone tried to get into our account a couple days later. That's a pretty big coincidence because it's never happened in the 10 years we've been with that brokerage. The only good thing is that the OBC was given in less than a day.

We are also on the Enchanted and leave on a BTB Saturday. I've been looking at Journey to tell which day is formal. (it says formal portraits) It has the info for the first leg and has for a couple weeks but still doesn't list it for the second leg.

My husband applied for our credit a few days ago. He went ahead and put in our investment firm. I told him that I wasn't comfortable with that so he changed our password with a two stage authorization. Last night someone tried three times to get into it so our account is locked. It could be a coincidence that it happened now but it's a pretty big coincidence since it has never happened before. There's no way to prove who did it but we won't be giving our information to them again!

Sorry, I meant they want us to set up the second medallion on a back to back

they only send one medallion for two or more cruises. We have even gotten an email saying we need to set up the medallion or we will have to get it when we get on the cruise, but there is no way to do that 🙂 and you don’t have to. I agree with you about the two casual dining, exercise, classes, etc. I wrote to a few of the bigwigs and got a call from someone at Princess wanting to discuss. She said they were looking into adjusting it based on the number of days. That was about six months ago so you can see how that’s going.

We often book a BTB as two voyages. OBC always rolls over to the next cruise. On our upcoming cruise, we have two booking numbers but it's in the Ocean Ready app as one voyage.

We're doing a BTB soon. We booked as two separate cruises but Princess combined them. We received an email saying that we need to order our medallion soon for the second cruise or we would have to pick up at the port 🙂 Since we don't have the second cruise listed in the app, we can't do it if we wanted to.

Yes you could do that. But if you cancel the cruise, you will lose out on the money you paid for Princess Plus. It makes no sense to me why they don't refund that part but they don't. And that's why it's included in insurance.

I was also credited for payment towards our cruise booked a year ago.

We love Mockingbird!!

We've been on a few cruises with charters and this group is the only one that was disruptive. It wasn't the people, it was that they closed venues every night.

I don't know why people are saying this can't be done because we also did it. We took a FCD off of a 7 day cruise (that we had already paid some money on so it counted as a deposit) and put it on a 32 day cruise. We did it to get the better on board credit.

If you purchase Princess insurance, they wouldn't be able to charge you more once on board. You pay for that insurance before boarding. But in your scenario where you have an emergency evacuation while on the ship, you would lose the cost of Princess Plus because you didn't insure it. Same with private insurance. Princess Plus is lumped in with the cost of the cruise. We have a 32 day cruise coming up and we are waiting until we board to purchase. It was going to add almost $200 to our non Princess insurance. And we would add the cost of the package into figuring out how much insurance we would need. One of the main reasons we get insurance is in case we can't make the trip. Odds are that we'll finish the cruise out once on board and we'll take our chances on that.

I love using the Medallion on the ship. I think they are making a huge mistake making us set up dining, etc. on the Medallion. I never had a problem back when we did it online. I wish they would go back to that.

Thanks so much.
