  1. Yes in theory if you booked directly with Princess you can add pre cruise or post cruise bus transfer in cruise personalizer under flight. But mine was grayed out so had to contact Princess to add for a cruise r/t from Southampton. It was easier for me to use chat function as I avoid calling Princess if possible. In app also shows 3 excursions with LHR drop off - Stonehenge, Royal Windsor and Windsor town.
  2. You ca make reservations as long as system works regardless status and final payment. Earlier this year I made dining reservations for A 10 days cruise and I knew I didn’t click ‘same time daily’ but the system decided to give me the same time. Also in my dining reservation it showed ‘xxx added you to a reservation’ . My point is there are still glitches…
  3. We were also on Discovery Princess. What an amazing experience for a first timer chaser. Passengers also made a huge difference, with thousands on deck everyone was polite and respectful. Also want to add that staff set up 2 rows of chairs by the pool side railings deck 16 for those who needed to be out of sun and/ or seated. I was there with my 94 yo mom so she can also experience this event. Crew members walked around passing out water, ice teas, suntan lotion so you don’t miss a minute of this event. According to Princess its going to be Sky Princess in 2026 - I assumed it will in Med/Spain - although itinerary is not out yet.
  4. My sister submitted request via e mail to hello at stockperks and got multiple emails (auto reply?) from ‘Zac’ to use app over 10 days. I was going to download app on my phone to do it for her BUT she got another e mail address from Princess to contact Carnivalcorp at stockperks for benefits. Finally got it applied after 2 weeks back and forth. She is very annoying with this new process after being a shareholder for 20+ years.
  5. Yes. But can always double check.
  6. Big box does not accept Amex card for payment anymore. Visa only. You can use Amex for other expenses like excursions, specialty dining…etc.
  7. This requires ‘special handling’ and if you have a Princess CVP it’s best let the CVP handle this for you. I have avoided calling the general # since Princess outsourced call center yes, based on past experience if you paid 100% solo supplement you ‘should’ expect to only pay additional port charges and taxes for adding a second passenger in the same cabin
  8. My brother also received this casino e mail offer. The two he was interested in ( Japan and Hawaii) were sold out already e mail time stamp 3 hours
  9. Discovery Princess has ‘ Flow water’ filling station that I didn’t see it on Majestic Princess this past May. ‘Flow water’ sells paper carton packaged water that you can purchase at supermarket. Ruby may get it during dry dock.
  10. Just disembarked from Majestic Princess in Vancouver 5/27. Ship arrived at 7 am but disembarkation didn’t start until after 8 am - I think dock workers didn’t start until close to 8 am. Honestly I have never seen so many people wanted to self disembark with luggages in any ports, long lines. We were on first group independent (Princess handled our luggages) which was scheduled to disembark around 8:50 am but actual time was around 9:15 am. Taxi wait was about 15 minutes, not bad for a 3 ships day. There was a down escalator or elevator to pick up luggages and walked through customs doors then direct to gate B for taxis. Lots workers along the way to direct traffics. Our flight was at 1:15 pm and got to airport with plenty time to go through US customs.
  11. I was on Majestic Princess in May. When we docked at RRA on May 9 we were bused. When we docked at RRF on May 17, we were tendered. Same with other mega ships docked at RR. RRA is bused and RRF is tendered.
  12. We had disembarked in Livorno ( Florence), one day before Civitavecchia on a Celebrity transatlantic cruise pre covid. You need to get a written approved document from Celebrity / RCI pre cruise. While onboard we re confirmed with GS and someone helped with our luggages on disembarkation day and we just walked off, no immigration process. You can fill the request form online if it’s still there (Celebrity used the same form as RCI before)or contact RCI to check if ‘down lining’ (disembark early) is still allowed.

  13. I just checked 4 different cruises for cabin availability using iphone without any issues but didn’t go through final booking process. Haven’t had any issues with website for a while now.
  14. I was able to add 2 passengers to my original solo cabin 1 month before sailing this past January. Since I was already paying 100% supplement, the second passenger only paid port fees & tax and the third person paid cruise fare + port fees & tax. I booked direct with Princess and no other fees charged by Princess .
  15. I think Op maybe referring to targeted casino discount rate offered for this sailing. There is also a large online agency is listing this cruise at lower price than Princess website. First time I’ve this difference for any Princess cruise
