IDK why PCL guests are not in open revolt over the smoking indoors.

Yeah, and it's amazing how the smoke just stays over those particular machines!

The OP has dropped a bomb and ran away - not coming back to explain themselves. Seems to want to slag FL for some reason.

PCL IT Team strikes again!!! What a mess.

Sorry to have to correct you, but good news for the OP because the drink price limit is $15. PS - The App is notoriously bad at times and their IT has not caught up to the task, or PCL decided to continue to show what was purchased. Policy beats whatever the App says. Bar prices increased, so guests are getting approximately what they did before at the old bar prices.

It depends. If you have a SD Credit in your profile, it an generally be used when booking in DMW as the system will/should recognize it. But sometimes it doesn't. Also, if you were gifted the SD by a TA, then not going to be able to pre-book for free.

Yes, if you book specialty dining via Princess App (Dine My Way) or via web version, you are charged to provided credit card (unless you have a SD Credit) at time of booking. Nothing is charged on board in this case.

No. If you cancel a res on board, the refund will come to you as Refundable OBC. You can then re-book and pay with OBC, but you have not gained anything.

It was 60 days most recently. However, that was not why I wrote "unacceptable". What is unacceptable to me is the delay at PCL in processing the form and then refusing to make the change because their imposed time limit had passed. Was there any proof of the two submissions? I would write CR dept about it. It is very poor on PCL part if I understand your story correctly.

UNACCEPTABLE. CustomerRelations@PrincessCruises.com.

Correct me if I am wrong. No CC member has either seen any sign of this new WMD with Caymus wines, nor has anyone participated in one. Who knows when they might actually happen?

They did - read the post #1.

This is the first and only post I have seen with a price increase from the $20/$40 level that has been in place for some years. Is this a new thing you know about and what was the effective date? Or did you forget the correct amounts? ETA: They used to cancel charges on rained out days. In fact, they didn't charge cabin until you showed up. Perhaps you are thinking of a guest who does a full-voyage booking. I agree there would not be a rebate in that case. ETA: On a Caribbean sector voyage, expect the Sanctuary to be full within 10 minutes of commencement of boarding. At least for the sea days.

Make sure you claim your seat no less than 10 minutes before the show or it could be gone to anyone else waiting to seat. Check the timing on your ship - it might be 15 minutes; it might be less. But be courteous and on time so others waiting have a chance to sit and use the unclaimed reserved seats.

What you forgot to write was advance payment of Princess excursions that guest books.

Well, in most (all?) Med ports - and other Euro ports - you have various voyages going on with multiple booking options. Not like most US voyages that begin/end in FLL, LA, SF, etc. For example, you have Rome-Athens-Barcelona-Rome. So guests can book to start and end in any of those three ports. Therefore, you do not have the entire ship turning over at any one port. That said, many B2B'ers will be treating the turnaround port as a regular port day that it is and touring in the city or nearby area. I wouldn't be able to say with precision, but the ship could mostly be like any other port day in terms of fullness/emptiness.

There is nothing to be concerned about in Europe and Civitavecchia. It is seamless when you are not changing cabins.

The US procedure is unique and not the same at all as overseas. Overseas, a turnaround port is the same as any other port and guest can come and go as they please. Someone noted a possible exception in Barcelona. That said, we had a turnaround there in Oct 2022 and it was nothing.

There is no fee to order using Princess App on the ship. Doesn't matter if you have one of the cruise fare packages or not. The wait staff find you by location of your Medallion and using face recognition once close by.

Several members here have reported success in calling in to Princess in order to book an excursion and have it paid for from one person's OBC.

You can see the Seawalk on any Royal Class ship another time. Review the offered itineraries and pick the places and port times that suit and try for a non-Royal Class ship to meet your desires.

If you are asking the question because you know you are getting some OBC, but only upon boarding, then the answer is conditionally yes. You have to cancel by the cancellation date listed for the tour. You probably need to cancel before boarding the ship in order to have the refund go back to credit card. If cancel on board and get OBC, it will be Refundable anyway, so you will get it back if you don't spend it.

Man, I have a lot of catching up to do!!

Now that's commitment!
