Free and changing mini bar is also free

If that's the case one could ostensibly get a prepaid Walgreens Visa card for $10 ($3.95 to activate & $6.05 balance), enter that for shoreside, & the 'real' Visa for onboard?

$15 each day for non-Elite passengers.

Konnichiwa Japan (is welcoming home the Diamond Princess)
Ombud replied to cr8tiv1's topic in Princess Cruises
Do you remember where the shuttle dropped you off?? My primary sites will be: Shiroyama Park, Tenmonkan Square, and Terukuni Shrine. How did they identify you when you got back on?? $28 isn't that bad for a solo. Better than the taxi fares I saw online -
New gotcha regarding re-faring for a lower price
Ombud replied to Packman1000's topic in Princess Cruises
Push harder. My CVP just did a lift & shift on everything including Shareholder OBC. I cannot imagine how CVPs can do it but TAs cannot -
Sun Princess makes only 4 stops & 1 stop is here. I can't find anything to do. Suggestions?
-
OK. I'm too far out.
-
Even better:

I like the way you think!!

I love jigsaw puzzles!! I would've totally completed it for them or at least significantly changed it and invited others to do so as well If they don't want it touched, take it to their room
-
The new app doesn't have the QR code. Just green or blue. I've not been asked recently whether I was green or blue, just if I had my medallion
-
Yeah. No. Not. Ever. I don't give anyone access to my account. But that said, I redacted that stmt page, sent it in on app, had obc 3 days later.

Sun Princess - dining venues. and jigsaw cabin design.
Ombud replied to Wishing on a star's topic in Princess Cruises
I can't make dining reservations on Sun Princess (9/23/24 - 10/9/24). So frustrating. I also changed from Cove Balcony to Deck 10 forward. And marked no upgrade, of course. Deck 6 looks perfect if I've got kids with me, otherwise not so great. I'm not a magician fan so I'm wondering about the "new direction." I always skip the magic shows Really hope there's a LIVE FROM next month -
Sorry. Thought you were in Canada 🇨🇦 so able to have it mailed to you. Agree that it is unfair for Europeans, Aussies, and Kiwis to have the with medallion / without medallion check in system
-
Odd. I got them on the Emerald 5/27-6/1-6/17 but then the Captain retired 6/17/23. Glad to hear that they relented on your voyage

So still priority boarding. Thought maybe @Triger had discovered a change enacted this month ... (haven't cruised since Nov / Dec 2023 and things change all the time)
-
That's so disappointing! Must be a new 2024 change as I had priority boarding in November as well as priority disembarkation lounge in December. Will definitely miss that perk in April. (All greens checked in together but then to different lounges based on status until ship ready for embarkation .... so fast) OTOH I prefer the new modified laundry perk: they still do mine BUT I can also do it myself on their free tokens. Only takes an hour total while I enjoy breakfast on my balcony (cold wash, cooler dry, no damage from rollers moving it along)

FIRST & FOREMOST I AM NOT UPSET BY YOUR QUESTIONING BUT: It is in the TAs best interest for you to buy it now. But the onboard accountant will (as recently as 12-8-23) lump all refundable obc together and nonrefundable obc together. Purchasing Plus onboard is just a charge against that. They will charge against your nonrefundable OBC first. Once that is exhausted they will charge against the refundable. As I stated this is how it was last month. New month / new year / but my best guess is the TAs are wrong. Might I suggest that you go to ANY current sailing and inquire if there's been a dramatic change as of yesterday. Here's one:

OMG we are finally on the same ship!! You've helped me out so much on past cruises embarking from Southampton. In fact I found my favorite dive due to you (Dancing Man Brewery). Anyway I'm pretty sure it was you! As long as I can get fresh air, I'm good
-
Yeah @cujosmom. Sometimes PCL is unaware of what Ocean Medallion Fulfillment Center is up to. Breaking it down: 1. You will not be billed the $10 until the medallion ships 2. You will remain in the Blue Lane until you approve Shoreside transactions BUT you do not need to use the medallion to shop on land. I've read that they ask if you have medallion in hand not if you're Green or Blue when embarking. So if you have your medallion go to the Green Line 3. There isn't anyone to call Adding: no one asked me for my QR Code just to see my medallion but I haven't embarked under the new app. Last cruise Nov - Dec 2023

@tricks79 welcome to Cruise Critic and yeah, often the 1800Princess ppl are a little clueless. I can state with 100% certainty that the entire bar staff will try to get you to use your OBC to add Plus to your profile as soon as you step onboard. Also there is no distinction between TA (Priceline) and Princess OBC. Only between refundable and nonrefundable, with nonrefundable used first. As to whether PCL is planning another increase in Plus cost, your guess is as good as mine 😕

Love room service breakfast on the balcony once in a while But I only do laundry if on the ship more than a week
-
Put in washer while still in robe. Back to shower & dress. (30 min) Then put in dryer. Back to coffee & the Morning Show. (35 min) A few minutes to hang up or toss in closet.
