Are you saying that somebody before them was fat? Shame on you! 😄

If you do not have Plus or Premier and you wish to order via the app you pay $14.99.

That's a new one on me...tipping for a quoted repair service. 🙄

I don't know about AUD but it's usually 2.00 US for fountain and 2.50 for a can.

Hey...I've been told that I was an honorary crew member! What do you want to know?

I know you mentioned having Allianz insurance... Does that mean that Allianz was the *only* insurance in play? Did you have the Princess insurance? (I don't know if that would make much difference...and whether it even applies for Canada.) So sorry you're have to go through this!

It is SO aggravating when you cannot depend on information that you have been given from "knowledgeable authorities!"

Thanks to all who replied with suggestions! This particular situation has worked itself out. After speaking with a phone rep I was told that I was eligible for a direct refund back to my CC so there will be no FCC involved! (I would still like to know if there is a way to see this info online...)

You may be right! 😄

Thanks for the reply...but I don't have a TA (booked direct) and there is no "invoice" because it is FCC from a canceled cruise. I can't believe that one has to call to see status of your account.

We recently did the Mexican Riviera itinerary on the Carnival Panorama a couple of months ago. First time on Carnival in quite a while. We were very impressed with the ship. Of course it doesn't hurt that the Panorama is the newest Carnival ship! We have nothing but good things to say about that ship. Then again, the clientele on Carnival ships (strictly in our experience) leaves us desiring to run back to Princess or maybe Celebrity. All along our hallway were some very inconsiderate (dare I say rude?) people that simply acted as if they were on their own private ship. Food was excellent...I think we only ate in the buffet once or twice. I kept expecting some type of disturbance (fight?) to break out given that Carnival has received such bad PR along those lines...but our "fears" were unfounded. DW wants to go back to the Panorama...but it appears that it *only* does that itinerary...and she is dead set against repeating cruises!

I have yet to see it offered on the cruises that I've done since the restart (6, I think). However, they did do a galley tour after the culinary demonstration on a cruise that I was on back in February. That surprised me a bit.

I very often book either a pre- or post-cruise Princess hotel...but that's just WAY too crazy a price! I would look around...have that TA earn their money!

As usual...that initial press release could be boiled down to about a *third* of what's there...but interesting that new things are in the works. I particularly like "The Catch" by Rudi.

We have *never* been able to get to the ship in time to do lunch in the MDR! (We typically will be on a Princess shuttle from a "package" hotel. They seem to plan for these groups to get there too late!!)

We did this exact itinerary a bit before the pandemic...but we missed Halifax due to high winds. Just recently did the NY to Quebec City which included Halifax. We finally got to visit there!

That sounds like something *I* would do...my DW claims I am very impatient!

I have no dog in this hunt but I find it hard to believe that they would have custom wheels built...I bet you are correct in that it covers an existing number.

Thanks for the reply...but this seems to address OBC...not FCC (from a cancelled cruise.)

I would check on your roll call to see if there is interest. If there is...just put one together.

I've never seen or heard of one other than something put together informally (non-Princess hosted.)

Princess *generally* appeals to an older, more mature clientele. You'll not find roller coasters or climbing walls on Princess!

I thought I was losing my mind when I could not find *any* reference to the type of deposit in the confirmation! That just seems like such a basic piece of information...

Dumb question...but I'm more familiar with another cruise line and I'm just fumbling my way around the Celebrity site!

Yes! Please share what it was...
