Dreaminofcruisin is right…booking within a year…cruise whenever…you can even move it over to another cruise farther out as long as it is attached to a booking number…currently have one that is 3 years old attached to a booking

Getting the same emails again and again and again…..

When Princess delivers all the things they’ve promised, I’ll deliver on their suggested dress code…until then my dress code promise is as hollow as theirs😂

We did a round trip out of LA to Hawaii in January 2023 and did NOT need a COVID test whatsoever!

Got tired of the extra charges so bought an RFID sleeve and now keep my medallion it in all the time…no charges anymore!

I’m sure Princess will enforce the “dress code” as stringently as they do the excursion activity level policy…if it takes you 5 minutes to walk down the steps on the bus, you shouldn’t be on the strenuous hiking excursion!

Once you leave the ship on disembark day, you cannot come back-they will be embarking other passengers and dealing with your luggage becomes your problem once you leave

Thank goodness you didn’t mention the scenery in Norway as not impressive!

Yes, tried all the suggestions above (thx for those BTW). I want to be in charge of my own booking, making educated choices before booking with my TA…if I called them every time I wanted to check pricing, I’m sure they would block my calls ASAP for taking up so much of their time! I currently have 2 cruises booked that are fully paid for so can’t jump ship quite yet. Celebrity is a bit higher, but will be trying them for 2 cruises next year…. Also tried river cruising last month, so those combined with land tours may be our next new adventures!

For the last week almost every cruise I look at says current pricing not available. Yes, I have reinstalled, cleared caches, restarted, rebooted, deleted…done it all, but all the cruises I have been looking to book say the same thing. The one exception finally showed a price today and it is $1400 more than when I looked a little over a week ago! I have reluctantly been able to put aside my frustrations with all the “new” charges and call center issues, but enough is enough! I know many here have jumped ship to Celebrity or HAL, but I really wanted to stay with Princess. Good-bye Princess, hello Celebrity!

Why are they not happy…too general to just say menus and ship

Specifics please…

We live in Arizona, so we understand that “hot” is a relative term for those of us that are used to it…

We have heard that summer cruises can be very hot and muggy…June thru August is our travel time, so wondering how bad it will be?

Currently trying to decide whether to book the Crown to Alaska in 2024 and would love some help! The last time we were on her (right before Covid shut down) she was looking very worn and tired with lumpy beds! Has she seen any updates since then or is she still dumpy? I know the crew will be great, but hoping to get some refirb since we last travelled on her…thx so much for any info!

We got both segments of shareholder benefits, but they wouldn’t restock the mini-bar. Seems each ship makes up their own rules…good luck trying to get it elevated…we just got rather indignant responses from ship staff and made to feel like we didn’t know what we were talking about…what happens and what is supposed to happen doesn’t necessarily mesh when you actually get on the ship. They have so many new people making decisions that aren’t familiar with rules or policy, so be prepared for anything. Who knows, maybe you’ll get double mini-bar restocking both times!

Collared shirt (no tie) dress slacks and loafers…pretty much in the middle of the range of clothing

Last week I tried to upgrade my September AA flights that have been ticketed using miles and was told a hard “no…that is not possible anymore”. I elevated my request up the chain to supervisor and one more level up. They were very nice and tried working my miles several different ways, but said by purchasing the base fare there was no work around now. This is definitely a change as we have done this several times in the past!

I’m elite and a stock holder…I’m also done with Princess! They are small changes, but they continue to add up…it’s now the straw that broke the camel’s back…too many changes too quickly with NO REMORSE…good bye stock and Princess-sorry to go but enough is enough!

If I use my medallion on Ocean Ready to do the lifeboat drill check-in (as was required) on our last cruise, will I be charged $15?

You gotta love it when a lot of the posts turn into dress code debates…it’s great entertainment—open up a bottle of wine and just sit back, the show will start in 3-2-1….

well said,

If you have nice jeans (most of mine cost more than a tux or a formal), you certainly will look better than some of the 70-80 crowd that takes their formal wear out of mothballs for each cruise….please don’t let the naysayers determine what you wear - it is your cruise, not theirs!

Princess is moving away from catering to their older demographic, but unfortunately they have forgotten to also move their outdated dress code language😂

Just had our October cruise ticketed….on the website pull up your booking, click on flights, click on “view/change flights. You will see “request ticketing” ..click on that…it should give you ticket numbers after midnight when the system reboots
