YES! it is. With the Princess Wi-fi now being as bad as it is I found that I could not use the Wi-fi on my laptop in my own cabin but found that I could use the internet using the computers in the Internet Cafe. I am unimpressed with Princess' new Wi-fi supplier. The blame seems to go to "the ship's location" but I really doubt that is the whole story. It likely has more to do with $$$$$$$$$. My opinion, YMMV

It really bothers me that with all the downtime due to the pandemic and the late restart of Sapphire, Princess did not assure the ship was passenger ready! Had I seen this before final payment I would have canceled my upcoming Nov 2 cruise. I had already canceled Crown 28 day Nov 9 due to her generator/propulsion issues and switched for this one on Sapphire. UGH!

Susan, I received my medallion this past Monday Sept 26 for my cruise sailing on Oct 8th. The return address on it is Florence NJ and it came USPS. It came pretty soon after I was notified it had shipped, about 6 days from the "shipped" email. I would expect yours to arrive any day now 🙂

Thank You. I just do not want to lose the cabin I have now if I chose not to accept what they offer. I am only interested in a very small upgrade that is on my list of several. BTW, congrats on the mini suite, that should be really nice.

Glad you are safe. I know the recovery will be difficult, so best wishes for all the Floridans affected.

If my bid is accepted but I DON"T LIKE THE NEW CABIN will I be keeping my original cabin if I do not respond and pay for the new cabin? I am wondering if anyone has experienced this. I have been invited to bid, but afraid to because I do like the cabin I have and don't want to be moved to an undesirable cabin with no recourse. Princess' idea of an upgrade and mine may not always be the same.

Susan, Pheeeeew I am so happy it worked out well. Have a great cruise, I leave on Oct 8th on Enchanted and looking forward to getting out of our hot weather here. Take care and I hope Ian is not too bad for you.

So sorry Susan, what a mess. I used to be an EZAir user and it was great for me, never an issue. But due to these stories I have used miles for my last cruise and my upcoming Canada NE cruise. I hope they make it right. And take care with Ian coming.

Thank you all for the replies. I have a better understanding now. I am curious because it seems emails are being sent for both my upcoming cruises in Oct and Nov and I heard nothing from Princess and I do get emails from Princess not always via my TA.

Are "Bid" emails only sent to passengers that booked with Princess? Has anyone heard if it is just random who gets them. I know Princess has my email address, but are these going to our TA and it is up to the TA to forward to us. Anyone know? Just trying to figure this out

Yes, I was on my Alaska cruise with him in August.

That is actually called Code Share and is quite common.

I cruise solo. Mini bar = 1 bottle of their low value wine. It has never been anything other than 1. OP could choose 1 bottle of wine per the 3 segments. I think they are more interested in the Perrier, though.

These seem to be the Royal/Regal cabins with the balcony being a patch of the former beautiful promenade walking deck, is that correct? Are there vibration issues with these cabins on Promenade aft?

Not sure exactly what you are looking for here. There is quite a lot of entertainment around the ship. Refer to your daily newsletter aka Princess Patter for the listings. But, Don't miss Spotlight Bar and Rock Opera even if you have to sit and wait in the theater.

Can anyone tell me about PR719? I see it is available and may want to grab it.

I meant to say Thank you to Therese S. I came back too late to add and edit timed out.

WOW! YAY! I looked earlier today and full price, but just looked now and they actually have it set up with a banner Platinum or Elite Member and the discounted prices Booking it now 🙂 ETA: All done and screenshot made

Is that on the Sapphire by chance? I have been trying to get mine booked, but no price reduction seen, so I cancel out.

IMO you actually SHOULD CARE. I also am double vaxxed and boosted. I cruised on Discovery July 31st sailing. I wore my mask some of the time, not always, I did attempt to avoid crowded placed and properly social distance. My issue was mainly the elevators. People ignored the signs. I may have stepped into an empty or near empty elevator, people pushed/crowded in even when seemingly full. So by the time I got to my floor it was like sardines. On Thursday/Day 4 after I disembarked I tested POSITIVE for Covid. I had mild symptoms, likely because I am double vaxxed and boosted. I did my isolation and tested negative on day 14 on home test kit. On my way today to have a PCR test. It can happen to you, just sayin'

Will there be any perks left when Princess' new president finishes having fun taking them away one by one. This is a sure way to keep loyal customers happy. Yeah! I see this whole loyalty thing crumbling to an end sooner than later. Any bets?

On Discovery July 31st Alaska. NO elite bathroom amenities at all, NO Princess blue bag. Minibar was there but traded in for wine and did not pay attention to what items were there. Robe was in room on the first evening.

I am booked on a Sapphire 15 day Hawaii sailing from LA in November. It has been unavailable for booking now for weeks. I can not get any information from Princess. I have a few thoughts, It could be so popular that it has sold out completely. It could be they are attempting to limit capacity. It could be they are planning to cancel Sapphire sailings like they recently did with the Diamond, which I suspect will be the case. I can't imagine Princess could easily overcome their issues causing the Diamond cancellations. I just wish Princess would make their decision already!

I was on Discovery Princess July 31st Alaska sailing. No evidence at all of limiting capacity. Full ship and back to the usual long lines and full elevator issues. Yes, they did seem short staffed at times, but crew was still great. It may vary by the popularity of location

I would like to see the return of the real Princess Love Boat dream dessert.
