We had a mid morning arrival in Barcelona last October (I think about 10am) and were taken directly to the ship.  Just a short wait until there were enough arrivals to fill the bus.

thanks. This is great to know as my flight should be arriving between 9:30-10 a.m.

I plan on not going to the bathroom at all during our next cruise.

I shouldn't be hard to find, I'll be the one with the funny walk.

Depends is a person's best friend 😬

I agree. My Sky cruise was about 60 out too.

My Sky princess bookings have been readily available way more than 60 days out. I've actually had an available that a hundred out who am I winter and spring cruises on it.

Is anyone's Enchanted bookings available on The Medallion app yet? Especially if any of you are booked for any of the inaugural summer ones which I currently am. 

if they're not available yet, I'm curious to as when they will make them available to order the medallion.

 Good to know. Do you still get the $50 back as well? Also, if you do cancel the booking that the gift card to apply to, do you still only have till end of April 2020 to use it? What happens if I cancel it after April? 

If you apply the $1000 gift card and $50 gift card to a booking, is all $1,050 transferable if you cancel your cruise and apply it to a new or another booking?

Does anyone know how much the princess transfers are in Barcelona and Athens is? Trying to if it's roughly the same price as a taxi, or would this just be more convenient

And don't forget to use the Amex deal with spending $500 get $100 back!  bonus bonus!

That's great added bonus. All I get are double points with princess visa card

I'd never waste one of my FCD certificates by using more than one on a single cruise. Yes, you get your $100 back as part of the cruise payment but the whole point of the FCD is to get extra OBC (and a reduced deposit of course). Why not just hang onto the other FCD for a future cruise?

No. I agree. I just have an overabundance of future Cruise credit and was thinking that I could hopefully if used to Future whose credits on this med Cruise tell produced the cost of this very expensive trip. And get the extra onboard credit to derail like an extra $100 off on top of the $100 I'm getting for the OBC of the initial FCC. Trying to be thrifty. Hahaha

so it doesn't matter that Jeter02 is sailing solo, and paying 2 fares - just like a couple would ?

Once again this goes with my famous saying of solo travelers discrimination.

I am on Regal now and I went to the FCC desk on board and asked your question.  Kevinthe IrishDJ is 100% correct.

that was so very sweet of you. Thank you so much for going to extra miles me I do appreciate it.

There was a vote. You needed a unanimous decision for get two FCC, you came up one vote short.

🤣

If you book each segment separately you will get OBC for each segment to which you apply an FCC. This is another factor one must consider when booking multi-segment trips where you can book as a single booking or multiple ones. Sometimes the base fare for each segment sums to more than booking together, sometimes it's about the same or even a little less. Sometimes you'll need divine intervention (i.e. call Princess or your TA) to get the same cabin over multiple bookings as Princess holds cabin inventory for each possible booking combination. Splitting into two or more segments however may reduce the OBC you get for each segment as well. Not simple to figure out but you can save hundreds at times.

Unfortunately, it's an actual 14 dayer in the med on the enchanted. Such a shame they won't give multiple obc when more than one FCC is used. Since I'm solo it's technically be equivalent to like 2 people in cabin, but what to do.

If you don't use a FCC, it will be refunded to you.

No. That I already know. But what I want to know is can I use two future Cruise credit deposits on one booking even though I'm traveling solo. And if I do that do I get to onboard credits for my to Future Cruise credits that I use.

You can apply as many as you like, but you only earn ONE OBC credit per booking.

Good to know. Thank your. As always I'm grateful for what I'm able to get.

Separate.  Order 1 card at a time and you can alter who is giving to whom as well. 

Once again this excites me beyond words and the fact that I get $250 back

I'm traveling solo can I use more than one future Cruise credit towards my booking? Also if you are allowed does that mean I will get double onboard credits for my future Cruise deposits as well? for example if I have a 14 day cruise with inside cabin till I get to onboard credits for $75 each?

Are you only allowed only a limit of 5 cards? Will it work as one one purchase, or do I have to purchase each of the 5 cards separately?

Sorry, I couldn’t find the answer to your question. If you call Princess, they may be able to tell you when the promo ends. Come back and let us know if you find out. 

I found it in the lovely fine print. It's one minute before midnight on Valentine's Day.

Just now, Crystabel said:

Exactly. I never turn down free money.

 

Princess had a gift card promotion last Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, so keep an eye out for this year too. 

This literally has made my night. Thank you so much for your lovely information. One last question is the last day of this promotion Valentine's Day do you know offhand?

The $1000 gift cards don’t expire, so you can use them anytime, either for OBC or to pay for part or all of any of your cruise balances. The $50 bonus cards can be used the same way,  but they expire on 4/30/2020. So use your bonus cards first and before the deadline. 

 

I just received all five of my digital $1000 cards plus all five of the $50 bonus cards by email. It only took ten minutes from order to receipt. 

So pretty much you used $5,250 towards your final payment of your cruise correct? If that's the case I plan on doing this myself. Extra 250 to take off the cost of the fare sounds Grand.

Okay I see I can order the thousand dollar gift cards a few of them to pay off towards some of my bookings. But can I also apply the $50 gift card towards those bookings for final payment, that I get in return for each of them?  Otherwise we can I apply those $50 gift cards to? I'm a bit confused.

Does anyone know when the enchanted bookings will start showing up on The Medallion class app? Curious as I have one of the first voyages on her when it first comes out.

Yes, it's still available. There's a few ways you can book it. You can either ask one of the head leaders in the main dining room and they will put you on the list. You could go to the front desk and they will put you on the list or on embarkation day when a dining reservations are open you can visit them and also put your name on the list.

Called an Uber from Chateau Frontenac at 4:30am a few weeks ago with no issue at all. 

Did you have to schedule the Uber in advance, or were you able to do it right on the spot?
