You can ask to have the one under Sun Princess deleted and start a brand new one in Star Princess.  I think you may be able to select report under the 3 dots on the top right in your post.

I found this:

You can't directly delete a post on Cruise Critic, but you can report it and ask a moderator to remove it. To report a post on a PC, you can:

1. Move the mouse cursor over the post
2. Select the Report post link in the upper right corner
3. In the box, write "please remove my post" 
    
    

I think I did that….I’m not the best at doing this stuff…but I tried.  Thanks for your help.

It is posted to the Sun Princess Roll Calls.  I found it searching on your user name.  It would a good idea to title it something like Star Princess Med and Western Europe Passage TA Oct 15, 2025.  Many of us are doing the B2B, so why not combine them and welcome all from both cruises.

October 15, 2025

Thanks, I was looking for it.

I’ll see what I can do.

Has anyone set up a roll call for the October 15 cruise?

It is very hard to find, I have found it and lost it several times!

For anyone who booked the original offer and has since rebooked it accepting the the terms of their deal, can you see your $200 OBC on your new itinerary? I rebooked just now and told the girl on the phone about the promised $200 OBC/person and she acknowledged that but when I look at my itinerary (under the Payments page, OBC at the bottom of the page) its says $0. I'm thinking I am going to have to call them back. FWIW, I wrote the illustrious Jen Wright yesterday afternoon and never heard a word back, hence forcing me to call in. Just curious if the OBC is showing in other peoples accounts.

Was that today?  That’s the pull-down option that’s missing from my search.  (I just checked on my iPad, it’s still missing on my screen.)

 

may I ask which Victoria you are from?  It could be that there’s a glitch or something when doing the search from the US, but not other countries.

Taken just before I posted it.

from Victoria, British Columbia

You have to gamble on the ship…………a lot. 

No, you do not not to gamble a lot.  On a 7 day cruise I only spend an average of $300-$400 max depending on how many see days there are.  I have no idea how I was picked.

So call the Princess Cruise line that you get on their site not the linked one from e-mail. And go from there. If scam no foul if legit score. But at lest know you are booking through the legal company.

The first time I got a casino free cruise I didn’t believe I thought it was a scam, I just about deleted.  Instead I phoned the general HAL line and enquired about it…they transferred me over to the Casino section and I booked 4 free cruises last year.

A couple of cruises are showing up on my site this morning…could be different offers for different people though.

Fiji/S Pacific 13 day $67

morocco/Iberian Passage 16 day $135

I received the same offer…it’s a casino offer.  I received my email mid afternoon there were some excellent deals but all the low rate offers have been taken.  All the rates I see now are higher.

It looks like she off and on her way.  IT’s dark here but I can see cruise ship lights out in Esquimalt harbour heading south!

Hope the voyage south goes well and soon everyone is off and enjoying their Christmas cruise.

I can she her lights, She’s on her way over to Vic Shipyards.

From a Victoria source….

Carnival Panorama will be getting her pilot tomorrow morning (Dec 14) around 6:00 am and will be moving from Ogden Point over to the North Wall in Esquimalt Harbour to get her whale tail funnel put back on.

Up to 50% not 50%

Picture taken 10:30 am Victoria time.  They’re working on it!

Carnival Panorama still in Victoria……..complete with funnel!

UNABLE TO GET RESPONSE ANYWHERE. PLEASE HELP

 

Has anyone in the past able to attach $100 Military OBC to their comped casino cruise booking?

 

If you were successful please advise how. Thank You!

I was told I was not eligible for Military OBC on a casino comped cruise.

Are you planning to depart the ship early ? AFAIK US authorities do not approve of such, the ship gets fined and will pass the cost onto you. 

Yes, I would be getting off the ship the last day/night of the cruise.  Princess cruises do this exact thing on a regular basis…it just needs to be approved.

I am thinking of booking a 2024 Alaska cruise r/t Seattle on either Bliss or Encore.  I am wondering if anyone has experience, good or bad, at dis-embarking in Victoria.  Thanks

Don't even get me started on "upgrades"....I have been elite on Princess for a LONG time. Since achieving elite status, I no longer receive ANY deals/promos and I certainly didn't get any kind of upgrade for this sailing. Princess seems to think they have "got me" so no longer need to try. I will admit that was the case in the past. No longer. I have zero loyalty now.

I had that experience with Princess years ago…I am elite and everyone else around me was getting good offers on cruises but none for me.  (I’m a solo cruiser and that doesn’t help either…I don’t think they like solo cruisers)!  I would phone and enquire and Princess would say it’s the luck of the draw!  I started cruising other cruise lines and haven’t cruised with Princess since.

You don’t need to wear orange but it adds to the fun if you do.  Doesn’t need to be anything elaborate…an orange feather boa, an orange scarf, orange headband, an orange tie for men, orange t-shirt. It’s held in one of the lounges just music, dancing and free Dutch appies passed around.

Recently off the Sun, observed at least ten Canadian PAX getting off the ship at Victoria instead of sailing back to Seattle. Was at guest services when the group appeared, there was a crew member there waiting for them, checked all their documents, then walked them off the ship, then to the customs office at the pier. Everything appeared to be prearranged.

This interests me….I have asked my PCC several times about disembarking in Victoria the night prior to Seattle and have been told it is not possible.  Has anyone reading this post been able to get off in Victoria and how did you arrange it?

For me, Betty Ann added nothing special or exciting to my cruise experience.  I wouldn’t miss her at all if she wasn’t there.  But then again, maybe she does a lot ‘behind the scenes’ that we don’t know about.

So the inside passage is really not that special. We went through most of it at night time. During the few daylight hours it was just a bunch of trees. No wildlife to be seen

Going north a lot of the trip might be at night ( depending on when you go) but coming back down the inside passage is most of your last day and the scenery is gorgeous.  We saw orcas and porpoises several times during the day.
