That is why we always book a specific stateroom every time. We never do a guaranteed booking. We want to know what kind of stateroom and where it is located. Especially now at the price we are paying for them.

That is the problem with the Royal class ships is that interiors are really cramped. We like the Grand class ships, especially on deck 5. Your close to everything, and you only have to go up one level to get into the cabins. Also, I do not know if it is on all Grand class ships, they have interiors that are a little larger and have walk-in showers.

Did Mystic Man several years ago, we all enjoyed it very much, in fact we still talk about it today. 9 people would be about the minimum they would take. I believe at the time it was a little cheaper 10 or more.

We used EZ Check on our last cruise a year ago in FLL, at that time it was only for domestic flights.

With all that being said. In the future what is the best way to reserve in advance a SD if you have the Premier package without paying for it up front?

That make since. With all our cruising on Princes, we do not remember seeing our hearing about a Juice Bar. It will be interesting where they will locate them.

DW and I have been on the Princess Emerald last year. We will be on the Emerald soon and on this cruise, we purchased the Beverage Pkg which includes the Juice Bar. We are wondering where the Juice Bar in located on the Emerald?? Or any Princess Ship?? Thanks in advance.

I would check your booking. I told our TA to book our cruise with the Plus and see if they would upgrade it to the Premier package with the Military Benefit. Princess told my TA it was already upgraded.

It sure is. When we did it last February it was only being done at the FLL airport and because of COVID it was only for domestic flights.

You are correct. Looks like spell-check is at it again 🙂.

Did your husband book it as a Premium Plus package, also is he getting the Military Benefit now?? It looks like this is just an upgrade to the Premium package for the people who are now getting the Military Benefit.

No - When we did our cruise last March on Delta it was booked through our TA, not EZ Air at the time. At that time, it was just for domestic flights and just be sure you have your documents that shows your booking number. It was the best $25 we spent on that cruise. There were 5 cruise ships in FLL that Sunday and we were the last ship in port. You should have seen the lines when we went into the airport. All we had to do was show our boarding pass when we went through security.

All this promotion is an upgrade from the Princess Plus to the Princess Primium Package. I do not why Princess made this so confusing. There is no end date, so is this going to be a permanent benefit??? 🤔

The benefit for us would be, that we would not have to wait in line 30 - 45 minutes before the show starts to get the seats we want. As you stated it all will depend on where Princess decides to where the section will be located.

If he is getting the Military benefit now, he should have gotten a notification of this new benefit. If y0ou are going to do a new cruise, I would defiantly ask for it. That was the main reason we booked our cruise now instead of later. If we can get a better deal later, we will re-fare it.

No - on the itinerary post 137. But it is on the Emerald for the14 day Caribbean. My TA did not know of this offer. I sent her a copy of mine, which is the same that has been shown first on this thread. We have been looking at this itinerary for a long time now and did not think this promotion was good enough, we are not big drinkers and were deciding on the Standard or the Plus package and were going to wait to see if there would be a better offer later. The TA put in the booking and that was the response she got from Princess. Our TA just submitted the booking like she normally does and didn't have any problems.

Just booked a 14-day cruise for Feb 2024. I asked my TA to book it through the Princess Plus package and see if Princess will upgrade it to the Princess Premium. When my TA confirmed the reservation, I asked her if Princess upgraded us to the Premium package. The TA stated, "it was put on your booking because you had the offer as a veteran" and also the $250 OBC. Apparently, according to my TA, Princess sent out the offer to all their Military Benefit cruisers. Since there was no expiration date, I hoping this will be a permanent benefit.

If you are already getting the Military Benefit, I would think it would be easy for Princess to decide if you are eligible for the new promotion.

From what I understand, is that capacity problems has been do to staffing. The State Department has been slow walking work visas.

As cheap as Carnival stock is right now, open a joint account and just buy or if you can transfer 100 shares.

I have the same military and shareholders OBC. At first Princess put both in my name. I have the military OBC in my name and since the shareholders OBC is in both our names, when I send in the statement for the shareholders OBC I make sure Princess put it in DW name now.

We have for years used private transportation while in Fort Lauderdale. We always have used Howard Transportation (ridehowardstransportation0099@gmail.com), he has been very reliable and reasonable. Howard picks us up at the motel and drops of off where Princess loads the luggage. He picks up at the port (we do an early walk-off) and he takes us straight to the airport.
