AARP Raises Limit on Gift Card Purchases

What does the screen show? What error message do you get? -
Booking a shore excursion using OBC before cruise
milolii replied to DJ Cruisers's topic in Princess Cruises
That is what what I thought. $500.00 is a lot. Same here. What I see when I purchase excursions is that the OBC comes out of each individual accounts. We both had enough for one excursion each but only one of us had enough for excursion #2 and could pay all of it. Website wouldn’t permit that. Wanted to collect from second person, while leaving a balance in first person’s account. It makes little sense in our case as stockholder’s credit is listed “per cabin”. Let us know what happens. Good luck. -
Although it is somewhat easy to upgrade on many US airlines, this is not the case with BA. BA also tacks on that LHR fuel surcharge which appears higher than others. Try looking for another flight perhaps as suggested above.

AARP Raises Limit on Gift Card Purchases
milolii replied to Rick&Jeannie's topic in Princess Cruises
The AARP Rewards website has a notice of “Maintenance” for tomorrow March 15, 0800-0930 EST. I saw it on maintenance last fall and it took a while to come back online. Maybe three weeks. Also note the website states EST and not EDT? hmmmmm. -
Booking a shore excursion using OBC before cruise
milolii replied to DJ Cruisers's topic in Princess Cruises
Clarification please: So are you saying you finally did get someone to process your current request to use your DH’s OBC for both of you? or That is the way it worked in the past? -
Booking a shore excursion using OBC before cruise
milolii replied to DJ Cruisers's topic in Princess Cruises
So, I tired the same thing recently. Each person in the cabin appears to have their own account for OBC. This may happen onboard as well. We cashed out the extra OBC in the casino and/or purchased other things in one name. -
AARP Raises Limit on Gift Card Purchases
milolii replied to Rick&Jeannie's topic in Princess Cruises
Has anyone booked a shore excursion using a GC that was cancelled? Port is a tender port? My CVP will take GC as payment now. I want to reserve now, crusie in July. Got last 2 seats. How long did it take for the credit to appear on the GC? I have rebooked and had a card refunded within a day, but that was off ship. If SE is cancelled, Wondering if I can then get it applied to OBC. We will still have 10 more days until disembarking. Ty -
Royal princess Penthouse suite electric plugs?
milolii replied to Clampram's topic in Princess Cruises
Hi we sailed on the Royal- D726 a few weeks ago. There are desks in both the bedroom and the living area with a US plug. So 2. I couldn’t find any more. No USB ports that I saw. There is a UK/Ireland plug as well. -
I thought about that. You could hear it right outside the door of the dinning room but not in the Piazza. It was recorded music of some type. I inquired about it and a manager told me they turned it down. But it didn’t seem to get quieter. It was more like music you would hear at one of the bars or up on the pool deck. I don’t recall loud music before either. Thanks.
-
Thanks for the review. Question: On our recent cruise, loud music was playing in the Concerto dinning room, even at breakfast. I don’t recall that before. Has anyone else noticed that?

Ok sailed in B735 on the Enchanted in September and just got off the Royal D726. So these two cabins are the same as the ones in your question. Just on opposite sides of the deck. Baja deck cabins have a decent size balcony, but more interior space. It is closer to the Suite lounge. (Deck 14) D726 (opposite of the cabin in your question) has a very large balcony but the interior was a little cramped with too much furniture. We moved some of the furniture to the bedroom which is also smaller. Deck 9 is an easy 2 flights down to deck 7. I would choose B734 for more in cabin space. Both cabins are fabulous.

We are just off the Royal. We have also applied the credit to 2 future cruises. My experience is the credit is in one name and only that person can use Also went to book an excursion for a July crusie. Even though i have credit left, my better half needed to pay. This is good to know as when i move to apply a GC(s) to OBC may need to split that up.

Thanks for the updates. We booked the Jan. 20, 2024, Santiago to Buenos Aires while on board the Royal this week. Did the DFW to EZE AA flight have any rear facing Biz class seats? We were moved (at the gate) to 2 of those last year. Most annoying. Thanks for the tour guide recommendation. Looks like you are enjoying your trip.

When we booked a cabana a few years ago, I think the limit was six people. There was a group who tired to bring more, told no. Then tried to rotate folks in and out, told no, then left. Price was $220.00. It was wonderful. One piece of advice I can give is head for the front or rear elevators (depending on the location of the Sanctuary) after boarding. Take those elevators up to the right deck. If directed to the central elevators go up a floor and over. I know some folks will book an afternoon on a port day and visit after their trip ashore.

Majestic Princess Owners Suite Vs Penthouse Suite
milolii replied to Hammergirl's topic in Princess Cruises
U bet. Ok, we were in B735 (starboard side, deck 11) on the Enchanted in September. The video looks just like our cabin except the balcony was smaller. When we looked down the balconies we saw were huge. Like I said we are in D726 on the Royal soon and will report back. Enjoy -
What is in ship medical center to counter Covid?
milolii replied to generichandle's topic in Princess Cruises
I don’t know if Kaiser has a contract for Paxlovid, but the organization does use it power to negotiate contracts with drug companies. It’s one of the main reasons behind its success. -

milolii replied to generichandle's topic in Princess Cruises
Kaiser will reimburse the charges. Easy to do in the app. We had several hundred reimbursed from CoVID treatment in London, plus all the CoVID testing. -
Majestic Princess Owners Suite Vs Penthouse Suite
milolii replied to Hammergirl's topic in Princess Cruises
Here is a link to a video for d726 on Sky Princess, sister ship. We are in D726 on the Royal soon. Can answer questions. These cabins are fabulous. E728 looks to be a bit larger from the deck plans. -
Yes, in our experience that is correct. Cost is per person. It usually does include the transfers, so you would need to cost that out. Land tour companies price their pre and post hotel nights using the same methods. Civitavecchia is over an hour from Rome.

You need to check the terms and conditions of your credit card insurance and also consult an insurance expert. Sometimes conditions apply. For example many do not cover pre existing conditions. Also for those that do, typically you must buy the policy with a short period of time from your first deposit for the trip. Usually under 20 days. Perhaps post on the insurance forum.
