Just to clarify...I *think* you probably realize this but it wasn't clear from your question. The dollar "cap" is PER DRINK...not total per day.

Either in the App or in the "web version" on Princess.com (after logging in...)

It's quite often entertaining...but don't quit your day job thinking you're going to "hit big!"

Didn't we hear of a Princess/Carnival security breach a couple years back? Of course, that may not explain the fact that they *seem* to have current info on cruising history & such...but possibly because people tend to NEVER change passwords?

Here are some pics from the Normandy area, 75th Anniversary of DDay:

Well...it's going to be really hard to convey all we experienced...I'll give you the highlights: We did this on the Crown in May 2019 Spent a couple of days pre-cruise in London (this was Southampton to FLL) Did a third party transfer London to Southampton via Stonehenge (International Friends Tours...highly recommend) Guernsey is very rich in WW2 history Got to visit the Blarney Stone Saw many Irish Pubs Visited "The Dark Hedges"...a filming site for Game of Thrones Several stops involving Titanic Liverpool was one of the highlights (for us...group of 8, all Beatles fans!) Visited Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields In Scotland...Loch Ness boat trip (did NOT see Nessie...😒) Inverary castle Edinburgh Castle Normandy...probably our biggest highlight! We were there the day before official 75th anniversary of DDAY ceremonies. The place was CRAZY with people from all over Europe who had brought REAL tanks, troop carriers, howitzers...it was AMAZING...and this was not the stuff included in the local WW2 museums. Very sobering to see the American Cemetery...if you saw Saving Private Ryan you saw this at the very end of the film. Very moving. I've just scratched the surface giving you the highlights...it's hard to give you a real feel for what you'll experience. It was the trip of a lifetime for us...but we'll probably do it again at some point.

WD is a GREAT value for a specialty dinner. We have not done the CT so cannot comment on that...but we REALLY like Winemakers Dinner. You will not walk away hungry!

Welcome to Cruise Critic!

Personally, I don't have to have specific or first-hand knowledge if the "deal" makes me uncomfortable. I'd rather just play it safe and go with doing business direct. Everybody has there own comfort level.

Amazing prizes... (not really...mainly bragging rights) 😄

I heard Southwest was running a special..... 😄

Agree with most...just pay as you go. You'll save money.

We did this exact itinerary several years ago...LOVED it!

The medallions are used to open your cabin door as you approach from just a couple of steps away. They are also used when you embark or disembark the ship...each person is "scanned" so they know who is on/off the ship. All purchases are done by scanning your medallion. It's somewhat like using a credit card...just that it is a "middleman" before the charge hits your shipboard account and then hits your credit card. Using the medallion app on your phone/tablet from anywhere on the ship (in theory) you can purchase food/drink and they will find you by locating your medallion. This usually works pretty well. I can't help with any of the suite questions as we've never been in a suite! (Some day!)

Hey...as far as I'm concerned we can talk about whatever! I got my problem resolved...along with a bit of egg on my face! 🙄

IC computers are hardwired...but they suffer from the same bottlenecks as everybody else on board. WiFi is NOT the bottleneck...it is the satellite pipe.

The policy includes mention of certain trip delays and/or interruption. Nothing in regards to air fare. https://www.princess.com/plan/princess-vacation-protection/

I would think so...it's just like cash as far as Princess is concerned.

There's little to NO correlation between the app boarding times and "reality" at the port...

I always have the AT&T International Day Pass active on my account. It just automatically kicks in whenever I am outside the US...I don't have to do anything. (I'd probably forget, anyway!)

Agreed...as long as you have an "international" plan...(unless it's a US port.)

Yep...any package other than "Standard" (Basic) is supposed to include shipping...until they cut that little item as well.

I am of the opinion that the totes have totally been discontinued at some point in the past. Various ships have been handing them out "while supplies last" just to get rid of them. I believe that once they're gone the only way you're going to get one is to contact John Padgett. 😄
