This is something you need to call to upgrade. Make sure you get a hold of someone who has a clue - there are many individuals at cruise lines who are new.

 

Or consider the shuttles.

Called back and got just that, someone that had a clue.   Had me rescheduled in 5 minutes.   Thanks

Any luck booking the Tundra Wilderness Tour 2023 though Princess??

It is on the Princess Denali Lodge webpage as $150 for 2023 season.   However it does not show up as an available excursion on any of the cruise pages I have looked at and when I call princess they don't have it listed…

I see it is available from the national park, so I know it is running…Thanks

New to Princess.....

Historically, have these "Launch Fares" been the best available or are they greatly (say 30%) reduced during the frequent sales?

For example, RCCL always has a "30% Off Sale" based on a "Published Cruise Fare"

Wanting to know if I should book early or wait........

Thanks

Cinque Terre

did it a few years back,   Portofino to train station by bus

We will get on in Rome.  Any info on needing  to test before getting off ship in Barcelona or Palma if you do not have 3rd shot within 270 days?     One place on Royal’s website it says Spain requires, other place it says only Greece and Malta require

Are you able to book that far out?  We have a June 2023 Princess cruise and get an error when trying to book any excursiion.  We assumed it was too far out.  If you have had success I guess I need to call Princess

I am having the same issue

I actually got what I thought was a great rate from Detroit to Rome but Im a TA so I can see the flights myself. I am trying to find a link for my clients though.

It looks like the customer version I have access to has eliminated the option to choose the pre and post cruise flight days when searching  

Ordered from emed Tuesday; Wednesday tracking info was available; as of Saturday Fedex has not received the shipment……..

Our check cleared August 3rd and we got our passports August 9th.     We waited 5-6 weeks for the check to clear.  Total time 6-7 weeks...

These were renewals with standard processing time.

Our son mailed his renewal a week earlier and is still waiting

Looking to book a trip LAX to Sydney and return.

The cheapest goes through Fiji.

I asked Air2Sea if I could extend the 4 hour Fiji layover by a couple of days and they said no, even though Fiji airlines allows it.

I have had many issues in the past getting different answers from Air2Sea representatives.

Has anyone had luck extending a layover with Air2Sea.

Wonder why Royal hasn’t canceled Asia yet.  I have a Japan April 5 booked

Celebrity Cruises will also be suspending their full 2020/21 Winter program in Australia and Asia. Additionally, Azamara will be suspending their 2020/21 Winter sailings throughout Australia & New Zealand, South Africa and South America

We were on Anthem Oct 2019, New England and had no issues

I was on Empress a couple of years ago out of Miami.  Her best years are behind her.

got mine for May 27 cruise

I do not believe the $15/25 is the fee that they refer to when the say “refundable with fee”.  I have asked them directly in the past  and they just say “if there is a fee”.  I am assuming it is an airline fee, not sure when it kicks in or on which airlines

On the air2sea site it always says “refundable ticket (with fee)”

I can never get an answer on when that “fee” applies.

I had a cruise and I changed the ticket twice to a lower price ticket and never had a fee charge.

Is the fee charged only after you pay for the ticket with final cruise payment

Good question.  Here is what my insurance is doing for people, not a refund but a voucher.  Never hurts to ask you insurance company

If you cancelled your insurance policy on or after January 24, 2020 due to Coronavirus concerns and you are not eligible for a refund, you may be eligible instead for a travel insurance premium voucher for the full value of the policy purchased.  To be eligible for a premium voucher, your original trip departure date must be no later than April 30, 2020.  All premium vouchers issued must be redeemed for a new travel insurance policy for a covered trip booked no later than September 30, 2020.  However, the trip departure date may occur after September 30, 2020. 

also

If you have not yet begun your trip, you may modify your insurance policy and apply the entire premium paid to a new booked trip.  Your new premium will be calculated based on the details of your rebooked trip.  If the new premium is greater than your original premium, there will be additional premium charged.  If the new premium is less than your original premium, no amount of the original premium will be refunded

how is air2sea handled?

change the preferred times in your search.   sometimes that helps.

Looking for reviews or alternative to Luggagent luggage delivery service at FCO.  I used something similar in Paris and it worked well.

Thanks

Also, if you do not like the fares you are seeing under quick search, modify the preferred times.  You will get all sorts of different fares and flight options depending on what you pick.   Do not pick a preferred airline or non stop flight options, as those only show high fares.   With those set to no preference, they will still show in the results.....For ATL to FCO the best fares show as depart 3PM and return 12PM.   A month ago the best fares showed with 6PM and 12PM...... that has been my experience.

I called to change my refundable flights.

I was just told by and agent that the fare under quick search on air2sea was just an example of a fare that might be available in the next 3 months, it did not really exist.  so the $810 fare was really $2500.  He insisted on it.

I knew he was wrong so I asked for a supervisor.  The supervisor was on a Skype call so he had the agent mod my existing reservation so I could attempt a second booking.

Well you guessed it, I was able to book the $810 fare no problem........

What is going on at air2sea that the agents cannot look up accurate fares for flights and then just make up reasons why the fare I am seeing is wrong.

I feel sorry for people that don't push back and end up overpaying or getting bad connections.
