We had exactly the same problem on the first day mid-afternoon and it was sorted out by dinner. However we didn't receive an OBC for that problem or when it re-occurred on the last day and lasted until we were off the ship. Clearly I need to improve how I register my complaints.

On our recent cruise, we spent the last day with a non-functioning, overflowing toilet. Apparently about 200 cabins on the Caribbean Princess were affected. This was my 11th cruise, but the first time I had experienced such problems. It was blamed on people flushing inappropriate items, namely masks. I'm wondering is this a common occurrence? Have I just been lucky up til now? My husband is somewhat reluctant to book another cruise after this, so I thought I would try to find out just how common plumbing problems are. Also are some ships more prone to plumbing issues?

I got my test on Wednesday for a Saturday May 14 cruise because I was worried about getting my results back in time. Previously when I had gotten a PCR test, it took 48 hours before I got my results. This time it took 24 hours. I think more people are using at home tests and not so much the PRC tests. It was much easier to make an appointment this time around.

It's some hors d'oeuvres and you can get discounted drinks, if you don't have a drinks package. On the Caribbean Princess last week there were about 1,000 platinum and elite cruisers. We went every night and never saw more the 20 people there. It was held from 5-7 pm, so it's somewhere to stop in before dinner.

I'm really appalled by Princess's disregard of this problem. Not having a working toilet for 3 days of a 7 days cruise seems to me like you should get 50% off of your cruise fare. I think I was in your situation, I would have tried to get moved to a different cabin, even one in the covid wing.

Friday night the men's had an out of order sign on the door.

I looked and wasn't getting pricing. Then I tried an incognito window which worked for a while but then didn't. I clicked on one of the cruises and I think they may be changing the ports. On the first page it lists Belize City, but when I click on the details Costa Maya is listed instead.

Yes it's part of the Medallion app. I'm not a fan of the app. I couldn't get most of it to work for me prior to our cruise. It worked better on the cruise after I deleted it and downloaded it again. It took all day for it to download.

I'm back today from a 7 day cruise on the Caribbean Princess. There was very little mask wearing. We wore masks in the theater and whenever we were in a small crowded space. I think the only way to be complete safe on a cruise is to only eat and drink outside or in your cabin. We're feeling fine now, but there was a lot coughing on the flight home. We wore masks but very few people did.

Yes, according to my cabin steward. We were in E725. I used to crew chat to report the problem and got a response of yes we know and we're working on it. No follow up, no updates and no apology. I asked where the closest public working toilet to my cabin was and never got an answer.

I'm just off the Caribbean Princess. We had a great cruise until yesterday. Our cabin had plumbing issues. The toilet backed up and overflowed. Our cabin steward told us that all of the 700 cabins on all floors on both sides of the ship had problems. Supposedly the problem was solved last night, but we were not informed of that until we were walking off the ship. Right now I'm not remembering any of the good parts of the cruise, only last nights plumbing problems. Good luck to anyone staying in the aft portion of the ship.

Ours came last week in the foil blue bubble envelope (approx 5x7) via USPS. It didn't fit in our mail slot and was left on the porch.

I'm really enjoying reliving my Panama Canal cruise thru your postings. It's been about 10 years since my Panama Canal cruise which is my favorite cruise on my favorite ship, the Coral Princess. The cruise is a great mixture of port and sea days. The ports are a nice mix of beach, nature and history. Unfortunately the cruise now has one less port than when we went. Our cruise stopped in Cartagena, which was very interesting. Thanks for doing the live report. I've been following with interest as I'm getting on CB when it reaches Florida.

Another vote for the Coral. It's my favorite ship. I just love the layout of it. I won't cruise on the Royal class ships since they don't have a promenade deck, so I've never been on the Majestic.

Despite all the complaints and warnings about the Medallion app, it didn't occur to me to screenshot the reservation. I'll go to the Crown Grill when we get on the ship, but I'm not expecting anything since I'm on the May 14th Caribbean Princess sailing which is 90% full. Thanks for the advice.
