We don't tip in Europe or any other civilized country that doesn't tip

Yea, those fit Fitbit and not AirTags. Go with the bands that fit AirTags

Ours were given back on cards when we cancelled. It was for an Australia cruise and knew they were not going to open back up during Covid (they were just starting vaccinations there while we already had a second dose here in the US). Anyway, it was a day or two before the cards were loaded back up. We used our TA to take care of everything and it didn’t take long at all. Need to add we canceled before full payment was due. We just applied the gift cards early just to get it out of the way. Cheers

Yes but purchase when boarding (same price). Then deposit you gift card(s) at customer service onboard and they will deduct price of the Plus/Premier that was purchased onboard (along with any additional purchases onboard).

I guess Mr. Google didn’t point me to the updated schedule. We are returning on the Crown on the 27th but looks like our Pier 27 hasn’t changed so hopefully our pickup will not be affected. Cheers

Yes @hobo1937, we would all like to know where that info is listed. All SF official docs state just Pier 27 for Crown and Pier 35 for Grand

Exactly how we have done it, reversed the order and do muster station first then when cabin is open and while unpacking watch the video on the cabin TV 👍

Oh I know its chatter at this point🤣

Welcome! A suggestion is to enjoy reading previous threads on here to learn everything you could want to know about cruising on Princess. As a timesaver tip, only read the first 3 posts under each thread for the answers, All the following posts on a thread is a waste of time 🙂 Cheers

Plan on a half hour. Distance is not that much, it's the traffic. To @jacketwatch, just a friendly tip, do not use the term "San Fran" when you get here 🙂 See you onboard!

You explained the process perfectly😊👍 Much better than my response of “it’s going to take a hell of a lot more time than 1 month to get it all straiten out”😊 Cheers

Did they pitch you about a great deal in future cruises or Princess Promotions? If so, then it’s an outside company trying to get your money (wouldn’t call it a scam but, would stay far away from thinking about it) Cheers

Only accessible suites on Enchanted I could find is R616 and S309. There are other accessible balcony, ocean views, and interior cabins. Cheers

Seriously doubt it was a CVP or any employee of Princess (though they would want you to believe they are from the data they purchased from Princess). As others suggested, do a search here on CC on them and then run, not walk away from it.

30 days in a inside cabin?

Interesting little article regarding US passports. I’m sure other countries histories would be a little different. Though this thread has changed directions, as most threads here on CC do (OP issue had been identified and resolved in a happy ending), I think the more info we share about getting a passport if cruising the better the outcome for those new to cruising. Cheers

lol…. I can’t even remember how many times we have heard this🤣. Dont get me wrong, I have a passport, Global Entry, and verified ID. The problem isn’t me, it’s the other half of the US population that continues to drag their feet (and this includes some state governments). Cheers

Okay, then why not then turn on your hotspot in your laptop to connect cell phone?

If you read enough threads here on CC you will see that trying to get a question answered by a factual response by either calling Princess or doing the chat function is impossible. The people at the call/chat center are extremely inexperienced people in a foreign country who have no idea what they are talking about 90+% of the time. But yet, so many people believe them because they don’t know better. The stories here make it sound like they really just start making up their own answers without actually knowing the truth. I personally have never had to call them because I always use a TA that inexperienced and knows the true facts. Regardless of my little rant, I’m glad you took advantage of the AARP gift cards. They have saved us a lot of $ throughout the years once I read about them on CC. Cheers

To be honest, personally I just like the feeling I get of receiving them. It just mentally makes it official that our cruise is coming up really soon. Its the closest we get now a days to that feeling we use to get many-many years ago when we got this huge package from FedEx with our “official” boarding docs and literature of all the excursions that were available (before you could pre-book them) and a bunch of cruise line swag. For us, it’s just kind of cool to get something physical that starts us getting excited about the upcoming cruise. But, certainly wouldn’t freak out if it didn’t get to us on time. Cheers PS: Wildcats are looking pretty good in the NCAA tournament 😊

You can ask your cabin steward for a kettle. There have been reports here that sometimes they will provide one even for cruises not specifically on Oz or European itineraries. The worst they can say is no but, they likely have some onboard and tend to give suite passengers a little more service. Cheers

There are private companies that can get your passport renewed in 72 hours. What the fees are I don’t know but, businesses I was employed with used them (it was not a matter of life or death someone previously posted) Hope you jump on that Monday OP so you can go on your cruise (sounds really fun way to see the eclipse😊). Cheers
