Not technically Princess staff, but Steve Caouette is the best comedian I've ever seen live.  Saw him on the Star Princess and the Emerald Princess.

he is the BEST!!

I lived in Brooklyn most of my life and anytime somebody asked me about staying there I would tell them that I would suggest Manhattan.

is it that bad???????

Has anyone stayed at Hilton in Brooklyn?  Any thoughts/opinions/feedback?

I have the Hilton AMEX card. This card does not have the offer 

I changed cabins and I had the same medallion

Hi

If the drink package is purchased, can you use it at Princess Cays or only on the ship?

Change it up a bit with the cruise directors.  Get Gary Golding or Matt O

My experience with Casino Offers is that they need to be paid "in full" at time of booking.  Maybe Princess is trying to raise money this way.

 

Hope this doesn't mean that they are getting desperate for funds.

I did not have to pay in full.  I left deposits

I got the same offer. I waited 45 minutes on hold with the number provided on the e-mail. Hung up and tried my vacation planner and was told I had to go through the number on the e-mail to get the casino offer. Back to waiting now.

My VCP booked my free casino offer cruise last year. She also just booked my casino offer cruise again last week.  Was she/he thru Princess?

Sorry to start another refund thread, but I am specifically interested in Princess gift cards.  I searched and did not find a thread dedicated to this.

 

Has anyone received a Princess gift card refund?

 

The reason I am asking today is I am awaiting a refund of $500 (I know many/most are awaiting much more) that is supposed to be returned on a new gift card, and in reading the Carnival board, I see that several received gift cards today by FedEx.  This made me think/hope that Princess might be sending out some as well.

 

I would appreciate no snarky remarks as I see on so many other threads, but just factual info on if you have received a Princess gift card refund.

 

Thank you.

Call Princess and ask for the gift card dept.  I did and got a virtual gift card and bonus card immediately.  Have your booking # for the cruise that you were sailing on.

Never stayed there but as a local can tell you that this hotel looks very good. Just be aware that it's situated in lower town in an area that don't have the same "vide" as the upper town or the Old Quebec.

Is the area safe?

Has anyone ever stayed at Hotel Pur (a Marriott Property) in Quebec City?

Thank you all..I made my decision.  I'm going to fly into Quebec City

I have never gone to Portland Maine.  It has always gone to Bar Harb.  Any suggestions?  

Leaving on a cruise out of Quebec City---Would anyone suggest flying into Montreal (non stop) or Quebec City (have to stop).  And then take a bus the next day from the hotel to get to the port.

Hi everyone! I decided to launch a visual version of the Princess CD/ED list here for the visual learners and it can be found here: https://airtable.com/shrgry4ieUZ0p31qZ/tblG4mVF0lHDjW5po?blocks=hide

I am the only one who maintains this, so it won't necessarily be any more accurate than the table posted above, but it's another way to stay updated and can be bookmarked for easier access. And of course, it helps put a face to a name!

 

For those of you who cruise Carnival, you may be aware that they run a list of their cruise directors that is publicly accessible (https://airtable.com/shrxzucqLGHbpDmm8/tblZJCAW6us7UhDmZ?blocks=hide) and I took inspiration from that to make this list concept that we currently have, more informative and visual. 

 

Please let me know what you all think and if you have any questions. I hope this can help some of you out in satisfying your curiosity/plan whatever you need, although remember that schedules are always subject to change! Happy cruising!

This is great--thank you!!

Yes, drydock til next week.  Regularly scheduled drydock.

I assume the posting of the milestone perk will not appear in your travel summary until about 6 days from sailing like the loyalty command credit for cruise credits 21 and greater. Since May is a ways off, there is the possibility of you booking another cruise before which then might cause the trigger of your 500th day. 

 

In case the Princess programming that is designed to alert the circle host a passenger will be hitting a milestone on that voyage has a hiccup, just swing by the host early in the voyage and enquirer if your numbers match and if the celebration is 'in the books'.

Thank you!!

I also will be hitting my 500th sailing day in May and it does not have anything listed on my travel summary. 

You get one medallion for both sailings.  They will contact you on the ship by a letter in reference to the next sailing.  The check in staff in Brooklyn does not inform you. 

I am still on the fence as a solo.  $898 without perks or $1298 with the BSE.  If I factor in the tips at $101.50 and unlimited internet at about $54.  Would spending $250 for the drink package be worth it (not a huge drinker). I trade my mini bar for coffee pkg, so I would not be using the drink pkg for coffee. 

I called Barclays last night and they said it will added on within 10 days.

Same thing here.  Glad I read CC, otherwise I would not know I was missing my double points.  Mine also is labeled Sky Princess without the double points.  I will call them Thursday to let them know I am missing the points.  Thanks you OP.
