@PacnGoNow - chat worked - unfortunately they couldn't assist me with post-cruise excursion refund issues for which I'd already filed.  I've tried via email on customerrelations@princesscruises.com which at least got me an acknowledgment response.

Or use your phone, it’s at the bottom also.

I tried both Chrome and Edge and wasn't seeing it - but do on my phone.  Thanks!

I just used Princess Live Chat for the first time.  I logged in and was quickly connected.  The rep was easy to work with, answered all my questions and concerns, and offered options.  I was very leery to use this but had a wonderful experience. 

Where did you find the link?  The one on facebook doesn't work and don't see under contact on website.  Thanks.

Nothing you can do about the number of cases on a cruise. Ys I would want to be informed that there are cases but numbers would not make a difference.  Wonder why you think the Captain needs to tell the passengers this information.

I asked an assistant cruise director on the Enchanted Princess when I saw we'd turned 'yellow' on our cruise (and after I walked passed a marked off area on deck 9) - she was open that there were a few passengers on board in isolation in balcony cabins.

The people who know for sure are asking onboard at guest services.  EM

On Enchanted we were told by dining room director, the captain announced it as did the captain.  Last cruise and the one we're on have just over 1800 passengers and around 1330 crew.  Full crew.  Normal Xmas cruise would have 4000 passengers.  Princess is limiting.  All the crew are thrilled to be working and service is amazing.

Thank you.  After posting I just received another update - a useful one this time!

 

Your item is out for delivery on December 20, 2021 at 7:42 am in POMPANO BEACH, FL 33062.

USPS expects to deliver your package today between 2:15pm and 6:15pm.

 

Now I can direct all - instead of just the majority - of my worries to getting the Covid testing on New Years Eve or New Years Day 😐 .  That is bad timing that didn't occur to me when we made the last minute booking but I plan to be on the CVS and Walgreens sites the day they open up (CVS should be any day now; Walgreens at the end of the week) and I have received the approved proctored at-home test as Plan C. 

 

 

I (also in FL) made reservations for rt-pcr in cvs about 2 weeks in advance.  It took us about 5 minutes to do the test and less than 2 hours to get the results.  I think the people who are saying their cvs appointments got canceled possibly hit the links on 'cancel appointment' - you will get reminder texts and emails over and over again up until you go to your appointment and the link is not to confirm but to cancel.

Tonight I received this message.  Still vague with no anticipated delivery date and no mention of where 'the next facility" is located.

 

December 19, 2021
In Transit, Arriving Late
Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility.

Can't guarantee that all will be fine for you - but I received the same messages for ours and then suddenly it was going to be delivered the next day.  Good luck.  But if you don't receive the medallions, as long as you do everything on the app to be 'green lane', you'll be issued medallions at the port.

I can't remember from my last cruise in 2019 whether I was able to go to the stateroom immediately.  We're on group A, 11:30.  I recall from some past cruises (perhaps a long time ago 😉 ) waiting on deck with our carry on small bags, grabbing a bite to eat while waiting for our stateroom to be ready.....

Luggage delivery is another story - not asking about that.

thanks!

A lengthy list, to be sure but I can see the OP’s concern. 

As Walgreens describes the test, it doesn’t appear to be on “ the list”. Where are the OP and I going wrong?

 

 

On the list - molecular

"The ID NOW COVID-19 test is a rapid, molecular point-of-care test that detects COVID-19 in 13 minutes or less. It is used on our ID NOW platform"

I know there have been topics about this but searching gave me thousands of posts.  Yikes.

So, can anyone tell me if I buy a 4 device plan can I use it for my iphone and ipad - and spouse can use it for his iphone and ipad?  Or do we each have to buy a plan?

Thanks so much

 

PS. I have had success today using the App!  So wanted to go ahead and pre purchase - we are Elite so I understand we will get 50% OBC of the cost.

We're elite as well  - purchased a single 4-device plan.  Only one plan necessary for the two of you - unless you're going to have 8 devices all signed in at the same time 😉  We each have a phone and tablet, but will also be using a laptop as needed.

Fyi, I found the input button on the bottom of the TV, it was disabled.  I also spoke to the HGM, who advised that the HDMI input was disabled.

 

Good luck on the Enchanted!

We'll try - if not - we'll have a laptop 😉

I plan to try on the Enchanted Princess - I checked out youtube videos on how to access hdmi (or other inputs) at hotels without input on the remotes.  All said that if you find the part of the monitor that gets the remote signal (usually has a light), then at the back of it will find a tiny button or joystick that lets one cycle through inputs and get to the hdmi port and back to tv as needed.

No, it will be Capri (Deck 6 - Mid-ship).  You don't/can't make a res for Club Class dining.  You just show up.

Santorini doesn't show up in app for reservations - only capri and amalfi - so just wondered what Santorini was used for looking at deck plans.  Articles before the ship was launched described it as one of 3 main dining rooms.  I'll find out soon enough when we're aboard in about a week 😉

See deck five - Plaza on the enchanted princess plans  https://www.princess.com/deckPlans.do?shipCode=EX

On the Enchanted Princess - is the Santorini dining room the one used for club class/suites?  Don't see it as an option on reservations but it looks to be a large room!

We're headed on the 12/20 cruise and two in our party (they're first time cruisers) just started playing pickle ball.  So I  wonder if those of you who have already been aboard saw/played either aboard....?

Still have not received mine - looks like from the tracking USPS returned the package back to the sender for some reason. Cruise leaves on 12/11, guess I'll have to get it at the port.  

I was stressing out until I read that as long as all is complete on the app, no problems...

I received an email saying that my medallions were shipped on 11/30 - however they have been in limbo with this message.  So I guess if they don't arrive we'll have to get some at the port.  From everything I've read - with green lane on medallionclass ap and all completed, should not be a boarding issue.  We're on a 12/20 cruise so less than two weeks now..

CARSON, CA 90746 

All is well - now says it's arrived at USPS - so I assume I'll see the medallions in a few days.

@Mo JitoDo you know where the Elite/Platinum lounge was for evening drinks on the Enchanted Princess?  Sorry if I missed it among your posts.

The verdict is still out to if you can buy it onboard for a net of 50% off as a Platinum/Elite passenger. 

I called Princess and they said one can purchase the discounted platinum/elite on first day

It will be interesting on the 20 Dec Enchanted Princes.   Day 3 is at sea, day 6 is at sea (was a  port till cancelled) and the next sea day will be the last night of our cruise.  

See you there 😉

Nights 3 and 9 🙂 

I would guess that it also depends on itinerary - in past sailings usually on  days at sea and not 1st or last night.....

I recently purchased an inexpensive USB hub, which I can plug up to 4 or 5 USB devices into, but only uses one regular electrical outlet.  It's not a surge protector, so it's allowed. Also, they don't take up much room at all, which is much better than a power strip.  Just an idea.

I did the same for my last cruise - ship legal and I plan to bring along again.

Fyi, we were just on the Majestic.  The TV's had an accessible HDMI port, but there was no way to change the input to HDMI.  

 

We had to stream (Netflix, Hulu, Spectrum) on our tablet.

Thx.  Interested in Enchanted princess since going on next month
