No exchanges anymore for mini bar to coffee?
kywildcatfanone replied to teacherplus's topic in Princess Cruises
I would agree with this based upon the cost of the non alcoholic package. -

Not sure what you mean by turn back in. They continue to remove benefits to their most loyal customers. I was simply pointing out that what was once a perk of being elite ( at least if you didn't drink), is gone. -

I think you missed my point. I was talking about the miniscule provider cost to maintain a loyal patron. -

While I agree with what you are saying, the horror of the expense to princess for cups of coffee. Maybe $0.000000001 per cup. So many better ways to curb costs without reducing benefits to loyal customers. -

I'm still mad about this. Looks like the non alcoholic drink package that includes coffee is $40/day per person. For a 7 day cruise that is $560 for 2 people. Am I the only one who thinks that is insane? I still don't know how they arrived at this. A cup of coffee or two is way cheaper than the alcohol that you exchange it for. I know that princess gets them dirt cheap, but still, the alcohol bottles and beer still probably them cost $.50-$1 each, and that is more than the cost of the coffee. What a decent perk to remove from their most loyal customers. My 25th cruise with Princess might be my last. These onboard prices are ridiculously high, and now the only real elite benefit left is laundry, and that seems to have it's own trouble, as the last 2 times we have used it, they lost an article of my wife's clothing. -
I click on "Personal Information and Documents, then Suggested Arrivals and select Arrival Group when it's available.

Not choosing Princess for next cruise…..
kywildcatfanone replied to dandonna's topic in Princess Cruises
We have been on one Celebrity cruise and are elite on Princess. I really truly hate Princess nickle and diming, which is really Ten dollaring and twenty dollaring. There should be better ways to gain back revenue and customers without removing all the benefits from those who have been loyal passengers. They simply do not care, and as long as people buy the stuff, they will continue to increase the costs. With that said, we enjoyed our Celebrity cruise, we were on their oldest ship I think the Infinity, and it was older and smaller and needs renovation (it was scheduled for 2020, but the pandemic ended that). But I will say it was overall a positive experience. We booked one FCC with them, but haven't booked a cruise yet. I would like to try one of their newer ships. I don't care for the salt water pools though, and while Princess prices on everything onboard is super high now, Celebrity is still higher. It might be time to move back to land based vacations. -

Is it at all cheaper to buy any of these "packages" before the cruise vs onboard? -
Was coming to post this. That's a huge percentage increase.

Thanks. If it's still in the documentation for swap options, then they should honor it. -

Haven't been here for a while. Wait, I can't exchange my mini bar setup anymore for coffee packages? That pisses me off. One of the few perks remaining for being a loyal customer. We are not buying a coffee package after I used to get it for giving them their liquor back. Is this updated on the website somewhere? -
OBC just for shore excursions?
kywildcatfanone replied to cruiseintoheaven's topic in Princess Cruises
We have it for an upcoming cruise. Can be used for anything. -
Newbie has questions about Princess Plus
kywildcatfanone replied to Cajuntraveler's topic in Princess Cruises
If you only drink 2 drinks a day, buy them separately. You would have to drink quite a few to make the plus cost worth it. -

Vaccination proof pre cruise
kywildcatfanone replied to Cruise till you drop's topic in Princess Cruises
I brought mine, but on the Regal December 10th, they did not request to see it. -
Sometime between a week and 60 days, but they don't really matter. No one looks at them.

Elite mini bar exchange for coffee "cards"
kywildcatfanone replied to Red Hat Cruise Cat's topic in Princess Cruises
We had them every day on the Regal last week. If they have the white chocolate flavor, they can make it. i have been on ships that didn't have it available. -
We were on the week before you. Overall, we had a fantastic trip. Originally we were staying on for the next week, but changed our plans when we adopted dogs this summer. Worked out for us. Cruise food. I'm no foodie, and we don't go to the DR anymore. We ate in the buffet or burgers/pizza each day, but I always thought there were lots of options for everyone to find things they could eat. Cruise food is good, not great, and if you know this going in, you will not be surprised.

How do I contact Regal Princess.
kywildcatfanone replied to SOLIVITA LADY's topic in Princess Cruises
I once got off a ship and while waiting to board a taxi realized I had left a camera sitting on the table in the stateroom. I now triple check the room. Managed to flag down an employee who was able to contact folks and retrieve it, but that was while no one new was occupying the room yet. Good luck.
