I get you, but there are always those who expect something and may or may not be deserving. You have been diligent in dealing with Princess to get the anomaly rectified.

Ahh.. I see what you were looking to do there.

There are no reservations for those CD locations. On ships that have Planks & Steamers options, I understand from posts they like reservations, but some have posted that they were walk-ups.

Note that OP mentioned this was an AI translation of voice to text from a phone message recording.

Those booking numbers are superfluous to the post, but also do not mean much since the voyages are completed and you would need a name and birthdate at the least to do anything with them.

My guess would be a combination of things. I believe, generally, that Princess moves Captains among the vessels at certain intervals to keep them fresh in a way, but also keep them current on the different vessel classes, etc. Also, the introduction of Sun meant new assignments and shifting and a need for two new captains to fill voids left by moves to the Sun. I recall a posting about one of the captain's needing time off for some personal situation, so that triggers a shift and then again when he returned. I imagine things will settle down again into the regular 2-captain rotation, but you should expect some movement around the fleet at times as had been the case over the recent years I have been paying some attention.

Perhaps Princess is planning to contact all those booked in a D0 - won't be too many since number of cabins x number of voyages won't be all that many. This would be smart of them to try and nip the issue in the bud and not have it on-going. You'd think they might offer a SD credit or some OBC for the screw-up. But that seems a pittance especially for the folks that wondered if it could be true and specifically inquired of Princess about it.

That seems conservative since it equates to roughly Sabi's cover + 18%, whereas the CG is more expensive (like $46 with gratuity).

For me, the concern is there can be no or little opportunity for non-Signature guests to access the Sanctuary if they were happy with the cost, the sunshine and a non-padded lounger. Or, even if those things were fixed (shade and pads).

I seriously doubt a Sanctuary employee/manager is going to prevent a teen from coming in to check in with parents for a few minutes before heading off to do something else.

Exactly, forget about PCL bs numbers and write down what you will do and consume (as a couple) and what it costs and see how that compares to $60/pp/day ($120/day). Then, make an informed decision on which way to go. PS - PCL has given some notice of the package price increase in the past, so I would expect same going forward.

Yahbut.. most of the other loungers (to date) do not have the nice pads.

I don't see young kids being able or interested in being plunked down all day in a chair snoozing or reading/listening to a book. And teenagers ought to know how to act, so I don't see a big deal. This is hardly anywhere close to the biggest issues with the current setup.

As long as you can get a lounger.

Don't get hung up on this. A lot of the pricing "value" for package contents is just fake puffery to make it seem terrific. ETA: Perhaps someone else booked in USD with Premier Fare package could check their travel summary and see if the "value" of the SD meals is the same as OP reports.

Nothing to do with Princess.

Did you update all of the other changes between the previous chart and this one? Sorry. I don't have time right now to check it all and someone thinks this is out of date.

Insides have the pullmans hanging on the wall. The OP has booked an OV and so they are in the ceiling.

Either.

GL finding everything about Princess policy & procedures in writing.

The OP's info on each post indicates California.

I'd suggest not show up too early in the morning and be waiting outside. Also, look for and use the Gray Lane to check-in.

I am aware of that. I just wanted to get the information over here as well so everything didn't have to be rehashed over. We now have Sanctuary posts on three threads. Personally, the info from the "Live From" is gospel at this point.

I think he was right to do this, but you just know we are gonna see all those posts over again.

I know (for the ships). But don't you find someone comes and parks in the way? Of course, the best is a drive thru spot with no curb and you drive in and thru to other side so heading front out!
