 The Barclays representative is telling me that even though I have a charge from Princess Cruise Lines on my credit card statement, I am not eligible for statement credit because I booked the cruise through a travel agent.  

That is incorrect.  We always use a travel agent, and as yet have not had a problem in receiving double points.

Riverside is on Las Olas Blvd with lots of places to eat right out the door.  Hyatt Centric is a few blocks away.  Crowne Plaza has nothing close by.  Stay at the Riverside most of the time when Fort Lauderdale.  Have not stayed at either of the other two.

 Can one person pay for the entire tables meals but split the drinks up by individual? 

Did that last week on the Emerald.

The following is the list of percentages that are available to use as statement credits.  As can be seen using points for Princess purchases over $4000 yield the best results.  You had a purchase of $1113 meaning that you have a 1.25%.  This means that you will get a reduction of $1.25 for every 100 points you spend.  You would need about 90,000 to totally pay for your purchase.

We had a port stop in LA at the beginning of October and used Sunseeker Tours for a group tour. 

We used Sunseeker Tours a few years ago, and were very pleased with their service.

We stay at Hyatt Place. Great upscale Italian restaurant (Bristo  Mezzaluna) next store to hotel. Restaurant is the main reason we stay at this hotel.

This is not the Hyatt Place in Dania.  It is on SE 10th Ave, off 17th St.

Just got off the Emerald on Wednesday morning, and enjoyed a cappuccino, with Bailey's, paid for with the package.

Fly out tomorrow.

Anytime there still working on our cabin we just eave our bags and let them finish.  They'll lock when done.  At least you won't have to carry them to lunch.

Same, then off to a bar, then the dining room for salmon.

1.  We have priority boarding.  What does this entail?   Have bad knees and standing for an extended period/walking for more than 3-4 blocks is problematic.  Any suggestions for embarkation from the pier would be appreciated.

Priority boarding simply means that once checked in at the pier, you will be some of the first to board if you are there early.

For Vancouver I would recommend that you get a wheelchair to aid in checking in.  After checking in you will go through US customs and immigration.  All of this entails a lot of walking on two different levels.  Escalators and elevators are available, but you pretty much walk from the front of the building to the back twice.

I chose Courtyard by Marriott. 

Which one?

realistically what time does everyone have to be off the ship? 

You should be out of your cabin by 8 am to allow cleaning for the next guests.  Last call to leave ship usually is around 9:30.  Should be off the ship by 10:00 so it can clear before allowing others to board.

Are those zip ties TSA approved? 😉 

Yes, you can use a universal key to open them.  Oh, I mean a jack knife.

I have to join the crowd.  The Coral out of Ft Lauderdale.

Does anyone know if they have canned coke zero, sprite zero and/or 7up zero?

Most ships we've been on have Sprite Zero.   Maybe not at all bars.

Can you only go through the buffet line once? 🤔

My thoughts exactly.  Lunch is a three-trip process:  1--Soup and/or salad;  2--Main;  3--Dessert.

You're using the app. Wait until you are on the ship.
