Ombud

Thank you @sabreline. I will test but before I catch my flight. No sense flying cross country if sick

So if I had 3 shots (initial + 2 boosters) I don't need to have a witnessed or RAT test for Cartegena? Just trying to figure out if I need to pack antigen tests

No boarding papers. Did you mean passport?

So different than September 2022. 2 scoops sorbet + 1 scoop vanilla then. Still getting my 3.

But it is at the Gelato station. And I think you only get vanilla or chocolate in the MDR. Gelato & sorbet have 3-4 flavors every day in MDR for free. I know because I have 1 scoop of each (ex chocolate ..... not a fan of chocolate). Usually vanilla / nut / chocolate gelatos, & a fruit sorbet. And there's several toppings (butterscotch or caramel, chocolate, a fruit ie: pineapple or strawberry, whip cream). Favorite 2 sorbets are champagne & lemon.

Well if I ate 2 additional sugary desserts I'd need gym classes (wouldn't go & prefer my gelato without toppings)

Got off the Enchanted Princess in September and there was a different vegan menu every night. 3 options stayed the same / 3 new options each night. I already know what I'm having my 1st night next week : vegan onion soup!! Loved it

Hidden in the article: "And with Princess Premier, inclusivity and value are taken to the next level. ..... reserved seating in the Princess Theater" So are us Standard Cruisers expected to stand?

USPS doesn't pay any attention to dates on 3rd class mail. I've sent bulk mail out & it sometimes takes days, other times weeks. Luck of the draw

Clarifiation. I book 135 days out. Pay in full @ 90 days. Change flight at 46 days. Get refund

Like I said, the latest I've ever changed and gotten a refund within 2 days was when I changed at 45 days before my flight. As Steelers stated final payment for cruise remains at 90 days (or when booking if booking within 90days). So its easy to have PCL owe me if I shift my flight (either to ticketed or an entirely new flight) and refund is within 2 business days

Correct if not ticketed yet. Plus last time I opted to ticket at 46 days out (supposedly tickets automatically at 45 days out) I got the lower fare with almost $100 back in 2 days. I didn't change anything except opting to "ticket now." Supposedly restricted fare was less than flexible fare CVP says that's how it's supposed to be.

The only difference is when I've paid for everything & then I change flexible flights it takes 24-48 hrs to get the money back as a credit card refund. If I haven't paid yet then I just owe less.

US Mail issue / this service is getting slower and slower. That's why I sign up to get as much as possible via email (got 2 Black Friday ads today too)

It's in the patter and already listed on my next voyage's JourneyView.

Of course!! But the problem is that they might be sold out. If you use OBC to buy them beforehand but change your mind onboard, you can cancel (there's a posted cancel by date) and get that OBC returned to your account to use on a different excursion or elsewhere

Ask who to get (& who to avoid) at the Meet and Greet.

He could have canceled the one you booked & rebook for $1. Time for a different CVP

Not exactly your question BUT I've had a lot of OBC lately so I don't need Princess Plus. Just trade minibar for coffees, use OBC for gratuities / wine / specialty dining / airport transfer back to flight (must be done asap onboard). Negates the need for Princess Plus

What i fired a CVP for: (assigned to her 1/22-4/22) 1. Not returning calls during regular California hours 2. Impolite - 'scolded' me for using chat line Why I like my CVP: 1. Returns calls noon PST 2. Adjusts price after final payment date 3. Gets me current promotions after final payment date inc extra OBC (I book standard fare) 4. Handles booking issues inc finding my preferred rooms when they aren't showing anywhere (E409-E425 on Royal class, midship Caribe on older ships) Prior CVP (retired 12/21) handled in-transit issues. This 1 had to only handle 1 in-transit issue Yeah, outside of location, it's all about the $$s

FWIW if anyone reading this hasn't gotten the actual passport book yet it can be produced on a same day basis. So get it. How do I know? Grandson needed a passport for his European tour. Called the local office and they gave him a 10am appointment in SF as they were put of apps. Must be on the day of the flight. Not before. SF had him return at 1pm. Had passport book in hand by 1:15. (Processing time 10am -> 1:15pm) On uber for SFO within minutes. Only cost an extra $60. Also he cruised with me numerous times w/o one and with just an embossed bc BUT only to Mexico, Alaska (Canada), and Caribbean. Never to Panama or South America

When I called and it was going to be a long hold time I had them call me back. Return call was about 1/2 hr later.

My favorite is Mighty Leaf Vanilla. No cream or sugar. They will say it isn't available but then I ask for the purple tea bag, and oh yeah, thats it. It, like a few other options, are not listed so cannot get it through app.

It's been on the MDR menu for Majestic, Enchanted, Ruby, Emerald, and Discovery (2×) since restarted as well as at Pub Lunch. I went to the buffet for the very 1st & only time in September (Enchanted) and the desserts & ice cream were vastly different from MDR

Ah yes 2019 .... less printed material post restart.
