  1. Does anyone know when the itineraries will be released for the Caribbean for Jan 2026?
  2. You forgot sailing with fellow passengers that complain about everything 😂 Such a downer
  3. Well if you must know, I tried to do a mock booking this morning and system is still not working for that cruise (meaning there is no way to add the Princess Plus stuff). Kind of surprised it’s taking this long.
  4. Not sure what we’ll do but we also have started sailing with Celebrity and really enjoy those so might examine those itineraries from now
  5. So let me give you a scenario. You lose your wallet or iPhone. Someone finds it and brings it back to you. Your options are: 1) Say Thank You for that person making the effort to bring it to you OR 2) Take it back and you don’t say thank you. All you can say is “someone else would have found it and returned it” Sounds like you’re a 2) person
  6. Be careful not to be scammed by their system glitches. Just went through that for the Caribbean pricing released today
  7. Oh I already have screen shots of each website page that gave me the lower pricing that they are now reneging on.
  8. Thanks. So long story short 1. I found a system flaw in their pricing and wanted to bring it to their attention 2. They acknowledge the flaw and said they will fix it (preventing a lot of future headaches) 3. I’m on with 3 different people in their 1-800 number for about 90 minutes in total and zero appreciation Would anyone run their business and treat their customers with way?
  9. So we went to book a cruise for Jan 2025 (prices just came out). I’m upset but will try to be brief We clicked on Princess Plus (vs Standard) and the rate on the website increased (as expected). It said Princess Plus includes Beverages, Wi-Fi and Gratuities. Then I went through the entire pricing on their website and gave me a grand total. So we put it on hold. But I couldn’t find anything about Princess Plus so I inquired on the chat and they said I didn’t have it My suspicion is that the Princess pricing system has a flaw and I found it and wanted to bring it to their attention Called the vacation planner 1-800 and she said I was correct about the pricing error. She said she would check with guest services to see what they could do. Long wait She doesn’t get back in and Guest Services gets on without any background so I repeat everything. Then on hold until I get hung up on. Then I call back and get a guy named Andy who says they cant do anything for me. Then he calls his supervisor and I’m on hold for 45 minutes. Then he gets on the call and says they cant do anything for me. They did say they would fix the glitch I feel totally unappreciated in that I found a glitch which I’m sure many others would have found and had the same result with a lot more customers who would have been angry I’m sure. I would have assumed at a minimum they would have offered me OBC for me bringing this up but I didn’t even get a Thank You, even when I expressed this to the planner. He said it’s a glitch, end of story. I feel like I’ve been scammed by Princess. This is how they treat their Platinum members? They advertised a Princess Plus package, I booked it (using their website), and then they pulled it back. I’m still considering what are my options
  10. Thanks. I was hoping to be able to see a bit of Honduras. Mahogany Bay sounds alot like Grand Turk in terms of Turks and Cacoas
  11. Kudos to you for recognizing that the Princess test is likely a false negative and not wanting to expose the ship to your illness . Very confusing why Princess guest services isn’t also giving you kudos and chooses to turn a blind eye. Very disappointed
  12. Apples and Oranges. In Canada, there are 11 people per square mile of land. On a cruise ship , space between people is much much much much less
  13. Covid has not gone away. It is spiking in many places now. Well I will definitely not be cruising on Norwegian. Don’t want to sail around in a Petri dish
  14. You can do whatever you want but in my opinion, every cabin has an assigned steward, you will likely need some kind of service like towels and trash emptying, so I think you will still need to tip the normal amount regardless.
  15. We sailed on the SV on the Edge (Apex sister ship) in March 2020 and will again in March 2023 to Panama Canal. we absolutely love it in terms of view and balcony space . Both times will be on 11th floor Hint - ask your room steward for a lounger on the first day or you’ll only have 2 chairs (lots of room)
  16. I think the CEO’s are showing courage by keeping the pre cruise testing requirement. Well done PS - we are definitely masking up when flying in so no need to worry about us carrying it
  17. We sailed Princess back in January at 36% capacity. It was glorious however we new that would never happen again and if we wanted to cruise again, it would be on a much fuller ship. Unless we book one for the fall, our next cruise is in March 2023 on an 11 day Panama Canal cruise on the Edge and pretty sure it’ll be full
  18. On our cruise in January, they ran out of different premium liquors halfway through the cruise (that should never happen). I also don’t agree it’s a supply chain issue but one of cutbacks due to lower passenger counts
  19. What a farce !! Jack Daniels and Makers are not premium bourbons. May as well go with the Jim Beam
  20. Just because a passenger stated this, doesn’t mean I should believe it
  21. This just seems not believable. In the first case, Cruise shops are not hospitals and have the blood supply for a full transfusion. Hard to believe they would have the necessary personnel and equipment to carry out this kind of procedure . Secondly, if I’m wrong about the above, you would think if they had the right personnel and equipment, they would have the right blood screening protocol to prevent bad blood from being tranfused. I’m not buying this story
  22. We had similar website issues on a previous cruise. DW’s updated ok and mine never seemed to take. Was just persistent until I was able to have it recognize my status (in fact ultimately it was something that I hadn’t done correctly on my end that was not intuitive) Celebrity (and for that matter most cruise websites and apps ) suck and best advise is to ignore, keep at it and move on
  23. You really don’t get Cruise Critic do you. I agree people should read the fine print but it’s the experiences and opinions that help the cruise experience overall. It’s the sharing of tricks and knacks that you can’t get off of some of these cruise sites
