How is the bidding system doing? Any comments?
Itchy&Scratchy replied to Bwana Tom's topic in Princess Cruises
wow, that's cheap! My minimum bid of $210 pp for a 10 day Thanksgiving cruise, from inside to Deluxe Obstructed balcony, was just accepted. Good luck! -

I got it!!!!!! We are now in a Deluxe Obstructed balcony in a good location (we once were in a cabin right next door). Min bid of $210 pp. -
How is the bidding system doing? Any comments?
Itchy&Scratchy replied to Bwana Tom's topic in Princess Cruises
ok, so right before lunch today I couldn't help myself and placed another bid (this time for a Deluxe obstructed balcony cabin)... I am really desperate for a balcony, but the balcony prices weren't acceptable a year ago when I booked nor are they now. Two hours later I got an email that my bid wasn't accepted. I checked, and they rejected my first bid for the Standard Obstructed Balcony. I am now holding my breath that, maybe, we may get the Deluxe balcony... Standard would have been my first choice because of the pullman bed we all want for DS and easier access to the balcony, but I personally just want ANY balcony. -
Just off the Enchanted, what a week! (October 15-22nd)

wonderful review, thank you! Can't wait to be on Enchanted in 3 weeks! -
Does princess Ship enchanted princess have a decent library
Itchy&Scratchy replied to uncleboo's topic in Princess Cruises
I now always bring my own books. And just in case we get stuck in quarantine, I also load up the tablet with e-books. -
because it leaves us (the actual 3 people) with nothing to choose from. That sofa is the 3rd bed. There are few cabins that sleep 3...

Big news! All protocols have been lifted for most voyages

You may want to calm down. I only expressed my hope. -

Princess New Year’s Day Menu, Collards and Black-eyed Peas?
Itchy&Scratchy replied to catarazzi's topic in Princess Cruises
which is identical to the old 2019 Thanksgiving menu we had on Regal... Except we also had seared sole and some kind of beef tenderloin that day in 2019... -

my 11 yo was always sick with something in preschool and kindy. It got better in 1st grade. And it had nothing to do with the pandemic. Right now RSV, covid, flu, cold and strep are making their rounds... -
What to expect when sailing on Thanksgiving
Itchy&Scratchy replied to relmondcrsise's topic in Princess Cruises
oh, yum! And my DH will love Gnocchi. I think they were pumpkin flavored back in 2019. We always sail during Thanksgiving. 🙂 I do it to escape hostess duties. Yes, there will be lots of kids. Including mine. But he is very well behaved. I found my menu post from our Thanksgiving Cruise in 2019: looks more limited this year (Thanksgiving Dinner, that is) -
My husband died on the Discovery Princess
Itchy&Scratchy replied to LovetheSea's topic in Princess Cruises
I am so sorry for your loss... -
super necessary if you are on an Alaska or European cruise, imho, but if you are just going to the beach in the Caribbean - nope. Mine gave up his stroller at 14 months, so I am no help. I'd, however, bring a stroller and NEXT instead of a dolly and Next. This combination will be a lot more versatile to use. A couple of good links: https://community.babycenter.com/groups/a10635/traveling_with_children photos of kids traveling in car seats (not in cars) - https://community.babycenter.com/groups/a6680085/traveling_with_children_photos and this is how we traveled with our no back booster: Harmony Juvenile (very close to Cosco Rise). If your 5 yo is over 40# and at least average height, you could look into Bubblebum. It's an inflatable booster which has a 40# min and does have a good seat belt fit on children over 40#. We didn't travel extensively, so a $13 Cosco Rise/Harmony Youth/Juvenile booster which doesn't deflate was a good option for us a couple of times a year. And t

Itchy&Scratchy replied to cruisecrazy82's topic in Princess Cruises
you know it will. But by this time the cruise industry just wants to make money, so they don't care. -
no, we usually use forward cabins, like E332. I hate aft balconies. The inside cabins for 3 are also all over the place, not just aft.
-
are you bringing a car seat for the 2 yo? if you are going to take taxis, I recommend Cosco Scenera NEXT as a rear facing only seat. For the 5 yo you could get away with using a no back booster like Cosco Rise or Harmony Juvenile.

Princess New Year’s Day Menu, Collards and Black-eyed Peas?
Itchy&Scratchy replied to catarazzi's topic in Princess Cruises
come on. They are super-duper busy getting the special holiday menu ready for thousands of people, and you want them to cook something completely different by special request? What if the other, say, thousand passengers also have their special requests put in for that night? -
Princess New Year’s Day Menu, Collards and Black-eyed Peas?
Itchy&Scratchy replied to catarazzi's topic in Princess Cruises
and also doubtful that they would serve such specifically Southern items on a Hawaiian cruise. -
which in turn means that those of us actually traveling as 3 passengers are out of luck, because the only cabins we can book are booked by a couple with a fake 3rd person...

Masks now optional for the crew - REGAL
Itchy&Scratchy replied to Steelers36's topic in Princess Cruises
boarding on 11/19 and will wear masks whenever we are inside as well (10 days). However, we found out the hard way that if you are the only ones wearing masks - they do not help as much as you hope. We got covid on our RCI Allure cruise this June (but our DS11 didn't)... A lot of the crew has also disappeared during that sailing (waiters, MDR hostess, etc.) We'll still wear them, though, at least to prolong our covid-free time on the ship, even though wearing them mostly protects those around us, and not necessarily US. -
did you order the medallion? what exactly do you mean by "not accept"?

How is the bidding system doing? Any comments?
Itchy&Scratchy replied to Bwana Tom's topic in Princess Cruises
that's not how upgrades work. They will not upgrade as cabins become available, and if they have more than one bidder for the same cabin, why would you think YOU would win the bid? Also, for our upcoming cruise, even the cheapest balcony is almost the same price per person as I paid for all three of us in an inside. I paid $2,500 for all three of us, and right now balcony is $2,200 pp. So, my $150 pp bid from inside to balcony does not equal "an honest price for that cabin". -

Itchy&Scratchy replied to Bwana Tom's topic in Princess Cruises
did you check that you agree to receive email communications on the app and the website (your profile)? I didn't get my bid invites until I did that. Also, if you and your cruise are eligible, you will see this when you log in to manage your cruise under the Booking Summary:
