Does Princess status match with Carnival? If so how to do it?

I am going to try on the app. Fingers crossed!

You were able to book the early times? I was just worried they would all be gone first.

I booked an Alaskan cruise for 2025. I was surprised to learn that I could not make dining reservations for the main dining room until my cruise was paid in full. I have never experienced this on other lines. I am now concerned that I will miss out on all early dining times as I was not planning on paying off my cruise for some time. I intended to complete my 2024 cruises and then pay off 2025. Am I right to be concerned about this? Thank you to anyone who can provide some insight.

Thank you! Will do!

Okay I completed the price drop form and tried to submit. It would not take as it now has to be within 48 hours of the original booking.

Yes we are before final payment date.

The price of our cabin is now half of what we paid. Does RCI even still do price drop to onboard credit these days? It's been a while since we cruise on RCI. I wonder if anyone has called and gotten a cabin upgrade due to price drops? Just wondering. Thanks.

DH and I are sailing for the first time on MSC. We will be staying in a YC cabin on the Seashore. Can anyone tell me where the Muster Station is? Just trying to figure out how many flights of stairs we will have to climb. Thank you for any assistance and/or any other tips you can provide.

Us too! We have never really considered MSC until now. We are taking a cruise in May and trying out the Yacht Club as we got a good price. The prices for Royal & Celebrity seem to be climbing. I was concerned about MSC after watching some YouTube videos but am feeling more confident now. Happy sailing!

Hello all. We are sailing on the Beyond in Nov. I picked the Select Dining for 6pm. I now see there are four main dining restaurants to choose from however, the website will not allow me to pick any. I am very confused. I have an email verifying my 6pm reservations. I read online you can pre-select your restaurant but the button will not activate to choose them. What am I doing wrong?

Guess I made a mistake. Fort Lauderdale.

I read a post a while ago about a marina hotel that had a public parking lot within walking distance. The post indicated that you could drop off your bags at the hotel, drive to the car park and easily walk back to the hotel. We would really like to stay at the marina this time but I cannot for the life of me find the post again! We will have our car and have already stayed at many of the hotels with cruise/park packages. Looking for something different this time. Does anyone know what hotel this could possibly be? Is there a cruise park close by the Renaissance perhaps? Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Can you remember what movies were playing on the ship?

5! Just 5! 5 more days! Hooray!

I noticed this today in the planning portion of our cruise. My DH loves the slots but has never tried this. Opinions please, worth the cost? Fun?

Where does it dock in St Thomas? Close enough to walk into town or is a shuttle required? Thank you.

Thank you for the responses. That is pretty much what I thought.

A travel agent booked a cruise for a friend under this offer. My friend believes she can go into the casino and order a free drink without playing in the casino. She is NOT a gambler so she will use the casino bar as a stop off before going to other events on the ship. Is this the way that works???? I didn't think so but I have never received this offer.

We have only taken one Celebrity cruise so far. We agree Celebrity's food was better at least on the Equinox.

I booked a B2B on Mariner of the Seas in Dec. Only one time did the app list both cruises at the same time. I went to my Profile today and hit the, "Select a different cruise" but nothing came up. I then tried to add the second cruise but the app said it was already linked and would not allow me to see it. I am just concerned because of completing the Health Questionaire for the second sailing. Does anyone know if this is just a glitch and the second sailing will show up so I can complete the questionaire. Or will it not show until the first cruise ends? Thank you for any assistance.

Yes so sorry I did mean the Vista and not the Dream! Thank you for all your assistance.

For the last several years we have only sailed on the larger ships. We are use to booking our shows but are unsure about the process on Mariner. Do we have to book shows when we board on the app or can we just show up?

Hello to all. We recently booked a Havana cabin on the Mardi Gras expecting it to be the same as on the Dream. Sadly, it wasn't. It was very narrow/small with only a hot tub. I am wondering if any other ships have the same space/layout as the Dream's Havana area?

I am THRILLED! Cruise Oct 1st on Allure. This really took off a lot of stress!
