Desert Cruisers

I attached vaccine documentation on the Medallion app for an upcoming cruise. Getting the message "Document Pending Approval". What does this mean? Will it continue to be "pending approval" until I show the actual document at embarkation? Or, should I resubmit documentation?

Nothing in my spam folder. I also requested a return receipt.

What e-mail address are you using? I submitted our request to sbpcl@princesscruises.com and have not received any auto-reply.

So, you can use OBC to pay for these packages prior to sailing? Or, must it be done on board?

Thanks for update. We have a lot of OBC - even after booking tours - so will probably use some to book transfers from ship to Athens airport. Can you remember how much the transfer cost?

Thanks for the input. We have a boatload of OBC - even after booking tours - so will wait until onboard and take our chances.

Has anyone recently used OBC for transfers from ship to airport? Thanks.

I have a few questions about the specialty dining options - Aqualina, Prime C, and Chef's Table: What is the price for these dining venues? Does anyone have sample menus for these restaurants? Can on-board credit be used for these meals? Thanks.

We also purchased FCDs [US dollars] on the QE in May.

I was on the Queen Elizabeth from Fort Lauderdale to LA. We were booked to go on to Alaska but I tested positive the day before LA. It was the 4th on-board test [in addition to my pre-embarkation test]. There was a major COVID outbreak onboard which the ship management was finding difficult to contain. All passengers in isolation were disembarked in LA and sent to hotels for further isolation. There was mandatory mask-wearing except for eating and drinking as well as social distancing in the theatre. However, ship management did not practice social distancing in the dining facilities.

Does anyone know when the Diamond Princess was last in drydock and what was done? Or, is a drydock in its future in 2023? We were on this ship 2017-2018 in Australia/New Zealand and it was showing its age. Thinking about booking Japan for summer 2023 on the Diamond but have been on too many shabby Princess ships - worn carpet, stained sofas, dining room chairs without any padding, old mattresses, etc. It seems that the older ships just don't get the same level of attention as the newer ships.

Has anyone recently used the coach transfer service to Heathrow? I have 3 questions: How much did it cost per person? What time did the coach leave? Could you use your on-board credit to pay for the transfer? Thanks.
