Ebola does "worry" me as it should everyone. I am not hysterical about it, though. The CDC has demonstrated a level of incompetence that is shocking, IMHO.
I agree regarding the incompetence but why is it shocking. I would be shocked had it been handled otherwise.
-
Jackie Chiles can attest to that....
Excellent... A true Seinfeldian! LOL

DH wants to know if he will get the down home real turkey or is it the processed turkey loaf? I said processed more than likely but would like to hear from people that have experienced Thanksgiving Day on Princess.
Oh they're real and they are spectacular.

Its been non-refundable and non Casino spendable on Cunard for as long as I can remember, and I have been in the situation of having $1300 OBC on a Transatlantic for 7 days and no ports so couldn't spend it on excursions.
Now that was a problem.
Citizen Ecodrive Watches for the whole family was the answer, and I never regretted that purchase.
Princess sell them at a decent price as well. They are excellent watches which should last a lifetime with no winding up, batteries or servicing.
Outstanding idea! A nice Nikon camera would be good as well.

I agree if the passengers aren't willing to spend money that was given to them why would you want this customer. There are plenty of other passengers who are willing to jump on a discounted cruise and spend the OBC and then some.

I totally agree.

What about keeping the information that gratuities are deductible from OBCs top secret? If we let the others know, Princess may change that policy! What about that shore excursions are deductible from OBCs? Again, if the others find out, the policy could change. This website is about passing on available information to other posters. The fact that casino charges are deductible from OBCs is readily available information and a long time Princess policy. I am happy when others pass on information to me and it is why I come to these boards.
If Princess stops deducting gratuities, shore excursions, soda cards or anything else from OBCs, we will all learn to use it on something else and move on. There is nothing wrong, illegal, loopholed, etc. with having a casino account to use your OBCs. Any suggestion to the contrary defies logic.
I am quite sure everyone following this thread got my original point. Well clearly not everyone. Nonetheless I am not going to continue to allow you to spar with me any furthur. It is an exersize in futility. Even my Kindle gets the point.

I am amazed at how big of an issue this is.
Enjoy the money onboard. Princess is being very generous with their OBC. In the future - they may not be.
Yes...Exactly.

Not MY policy. What part of Non Refundable do you not understand? BTW you missed my original point and that is I am sure Princess will eventually figure out by reading your screed what needs to be done. I did not say your creative methodology for thwarting their non refundable policy was an issue. I simply said that informing them was.
-
As enlightening as your reply was I still suggest since the point of the OBC is to spend it ON BOARD that cashing it out in the casino is a loophole.
-
Assuming Princess reads these boards would suggest cashing out in the casino will end soon too. I am sure Princess thanks you for exposing the loophole. Sigh!

Does anyone have a list of movies currently showing on the Grand?
-
I am so glad you got my point.
I am still trying to figure out why the Howell's had all those clothes for a three hour tour.
-
How about microwave ovens. It seems like a good item to reheat leftovers from the MDR. Or perhaps a toaster oven.
-
And they serve TEA!

I have seen people double dip in those fountains. Seems like a BAD thing for a cruise ship.
-
Looks like a simple typo. The signs that puzzle me are the ones that state "you're here." How do they always know where I am?
-
Eat dinner in the MDR and not be bothered by a photographer while I have a mouthful of food for an entire cruise.

Been on 17 Princess Cruises. Every single time I have ordered Room Service sandwiches or burgers they ALWAYS asked if I want potato chips or fries. Room Service is awesome.

Having been on 17 Princess Cruises this is actually one of my two complaints. We traveled on the Golden Princess in March 2013 and again in October as well as December. They we showing at least 70% of the same movies more than seven months later. My second complaint is the TV shows. Seven months later the same exact episodes of Modern Family and The Love Boat were still on. It was like being in my own version of the movie Groundhogs Day.

Never:
Paid to eat in a Specialty Restaurant when the cruise price includes FOOD.
Stayed in a hotel in a port when the cruise price includes a CABIN.
Taken Trivia seriously. Really ... It is just a game people.
Weighed myself while on the ship.
Eaten just a Salad for dinner.
Complained that the portions were too small when I could order as many dishes that I want.
Left the dining room still hungry.

I actually would keep the foreward A-Deck cabin. You would be very close to the grill making it quite easy to get food back to your cabin while still warm.
-
They are awesome! I think that Princess should also consider utilizing their new and improved warning message to announce the life boat drills as well.

Thanks so much to the OP for the info. I was curious what movies were playing on board the ship.

Has the threat of ebola caused you to reconsider your cruise plans

How about gaining 1 pound per day on average on any cruise. I'll take my chances!
