Thank you

When is the WC 2026 will open for booking?  Will the booking of segments be available at same time?  Thank you

Thanks for the information.  Do you know when it will open for bookings?

Last week on the Koningsdam I specifically asked the manager if tips were shared or not and he told me it was shared among the servers and the busboy but not by him and his assistant. We gave him the envelop with the tips for the server team to be shared. As someone wrote, it may be different on another ship but ask the manager. 

I did bid for upgrade from premium economy to signature or from economy to business, sometimes it works, sometimes not.  Your chances at upgrading at check in are very very low, AC accepts bids first and then upgrades with e-upgrade certificates for Aeroplan members.  

Thank you!

I read that Princess is now having a « White and gold » evening, is that evening set on a formal or casual night?  Thank you

I am currently on the Westerdam and each cabin has a make-up mirror in a blue bag. 

Thank you for the fast answer.  Very useful.  

I have a question regarding Club Orange stateroom upgrade. My TA told me that we can request the upgrade stateroom  in same category only after the cruise is paid for in full.  Obviously, at that time there is less availability than if we could choose at the time of booking Club Orange, before the date of final payment.   For those of you who bought Club Orange, is that information accurate?

Thank you!  I understand the fare would not be charged at the time of the final payment, right?

I would like to understand how it works when flights are included in a promotion, like the early-sale of the world tours.  Does Princess reserve the flights and inform you or do you reserve through EazyAir and Princess credits the fare paid?   Or what else?   Thank you for your help. 

Hi Janet and Carl, we are currently in Spain and will board the Luminosa (replacing the Pacifica) on April 17.   Costa allowed us to use the compensatory discount voucher on this cruise, after numerous calls from our TA.  It will be our first cruise since February 2020.  We had eight cruises cancelled but this one seems to stick. Wish you the best and happy cruises

Thanks Janet, we were neighbours on the infamous Costa Victoria in October 2019.  Happy to see that you are back to cruising. Enjoy!

We are booked on the Costa Pacifica in April and I wonder how the offer for the suites has changed.   Do you know if the Club (dining room) is open for Costa Club members and the suites?

In Canada, cruise leaving on October 12, final payment due on July 7.  It is a 28-day cruise, I don’t know if the duration of the cruise has any impact.  

Thanks Ptsaint, we (DH and I) are now confirmed on this cruise and would be interested in the safari.    I did not find the roll call for this cruise.    Still have time.  

Michele

Thank you for the update.   Do you know if there are any benefits attached to early booking, such as OBC, prepaid gratuities, etc.?

Be cautious with invitations, we are planning two weeks in Tasmania soon🤭.  I will join the roll call.

Thanks Caspall, great pictures and useful comments. 

We (my husband and I) are on this cruise with a couple of friends, we disembark in Mumbai.   I understand you are in a suite, same for us. We will see you there!  We love Tasmania, we will have lot of questions.  

If you look at the video on the Victoria, on the Costa website we see a menu « Club Ristorante ».  I presume this is the suite restaurant...  We will be on the Victoria for 28 days starting in Venice next October.  

Oscar Perego will be on the Crown Transat November 3, 2018

There are always many taxis at the port, however if you are not in the first group to disembark you may have to wait a little. The trafic is bad in Montreal due to numerous construction sites, depending on the time of the day the fee should be around $65-$85Cdn.

Thank you all, very useful comments.
