I did sign up for it but I had some internet connection problems and finally joined in for the last 20 minutes and  I don't think I will get credit for it.

Can someone please post the link.  I only need one more point for Elite+.  Thanks,

I booked an excursion this week that was $159.95, and I did not have a problem.  The $100 credit was applied and $59.95 was charged to my credit card. 

Are the balconies covered?

 

Too bad about the Club Class dining eliminating the table side preparation. We had taken advantage of that on previous cruises and just loved it. We have another sailing in a suite booked on the Grand next year and will be disappointed if they've cut back on that experience. It is the reason we booked a suite.

 

Hi Cruise Raider, we were in Club Class on this sailing. The maître d' prepared something every night we were there; mostly pastas but one night we had crepe suzettes. We went to the Crown Grill a couple of nights so don't know about those. Shirley

How do you price w&w/o E4? We usually book without since we rarely spend over $50 PD for two. We would rather carry some good wine on board and pay corkage.

If you pay the corkage, are you allowed to bring the wine into the lounges, or just the restaurants? Thanks, Shirley

We have booked an aft cabin (6170) on the Eurodam and would like to know how much of the verandas are covered on this deck?

For now, I believe this new menu is just being tested on the Ruby.

I hope that they stay with these menus and that they are available on the Grand in September when we sail next with Princess. We have been very disappointed with the food choices and quality on Princess on our last 2 cruises (except for the Crown Grill and Alfredo's Pizza which were both excellent).

Our Hawaii RT was years ago on Summit

We had a great Hawaii Ambassador on Board who held cultural events daily.. lectures, .lei making, food, hula etc.. Very knowlegeable and informative..Sea days filled with activity or just relax

 

Hope you have something similar for your cruise...

Curious about the lectures -- was there a variety of topics or all having to do with Hawaiian culture, etc.?

If you cancel the cruise before final payment, do you get the insurance refunded, too?

 

 

Different ship, same concerns, on this particular itinerary. Yes I want the itinerary but ...

.

What ship were you on? Thanks, Shirley

Why even consider a ship that has seen its better days? I would have big time buyers remorse.

Well, I guess in our case it's all about an itinerary that I'm not finding elsewhere.

We didn't get this email offer. When was it sent and where can I find the information? Thanks, Shirley

Last year we were going on a family cruise to the Panama Canal and my mother in law was supposed to share a cabin with my sister in law. MIL hurt her back a few days before the cruise and just 4 days before embarkation we were able to cancel her and add SIL's friend. I was surprised. There was a charge of $150 - not sure if the amount varies based on timing of cancellation / change? Also the replacement person did not get the OBC that was part of the original offer but SIL still got it.

That seems very high. Was this booking thru a Travel Agent or direct with Princess?

Thanks so much for all your help & information. Shirley

Hi,

I have a reservation for a cabin for my son & daughter-in law to cruise with us in a couple of weeks but something has come up & my daughter-in-law won't be able to go with us.

So my question is can I change the reservation from my DIL to someone else?

Thanks, Shirley

Thanks for posting live. We will be on the Ruby in 3 weeks so very interested in your posts; especially the food and entertainment. Looking forward to your next post, Shirley

As mentioned in post #8, that was the original plan, but if you look at the the 2018 schedule now there are no gaps.

Thank you for your post. Must say I'm very disappointed as I took online ship deck layouts on the HAL web site as being accurate and was expecting the enhancements shown there for our November 2018 sailing.

Hi everyone,

Well, I gave all of your helpful advice and inputs lots of consideration and even thought of few different scenarios, but in the end, not being a big risk taker, I just called American and we are now booked on the 12:50 out of LAX, no additional charges. I did ask if they would give us preferred seats due to the inconvenience but they declined.

Thanks for all your help. Shirley

Thanks so much for all of your replies. I received great information that will be very helpful. Asking American to change my flight isn't a good option because they only have one more flight that day -- at 7 PM and I'm hoping to avoid going to LAX.

Thanks again everyone -- don't know what I do without Cruise Critic! Shirley

Help!! American Airlines just changed our return flight from LGB to PHX from Noon to 10:05 A.M. We disembark in San Pedro. Do you think we can make it in time? All comments greatly appreciated. Thanks, Shirley

I don't want to hijack this excellent thread other than to report that they were a REAL jazz band. They performed one night while we were in port.

This band was fabulous and, yes, they were a real New Orleans jazz band. Except for this one night, Celebrity did not provide any real jazz entertainment and we were very disappointed in the entertainment as we had expectations of hearing jazz throughout the entire cruise.

Thanks to everyone for their encouraging replies! I'm feeling pretty confident now that we won't have any problems. Shirley

Just got a little concerned when I read on the Celebrity boards that some cruisers were bumped from their Celebrity cruise. My son and daughter-in-law are joining us on a Princess cruise later this year but we booked their cruise months after we booked our cruise so they have a Guarantee rather than cabin assigned.

So my question is: Should I be concerned that they may get bumped? Thanks, Shirley
