Princess plus package cost questions
fedexretiree replied to fedexretiree's topic in Princess Cruises
Thank you so much for all the replies. So let me be sure that I totally understand this. 1. If I wait to purchase this plus package on board all I get is the drinks no Wi-Fi or gratuities included for $60. Total will be 1600.00 for 2 people. 2. If I add the plus package 3 days before departure it is still $60 but I will get the wi-fi and Gratuities and the drink package. Total will be 1600.00 for 2 people. But I will also need to increase my insurance coverage Because then it becomes part of the cruise fare. This is becoming so confusing and unfortunately the Reps at Princess don't tell you the whole story. -
My friend and I will be on the Emerald in a few weeks and I need some information about the Princess Plus Package. I was on the phone tonight with a Princess rep for almost 1 hour with a few questions about cost and never got a confirmed answer so I will ask the experts here. Hopefully someone that just got off a cruise can help me here. Here are the questions I ask the rep. 1. It shows on the Princess web site that the cost for the Plus package is 60.00 a day. Which is 1200.00 for 2 people. Do you have to pay an additional 18% fee on top of that? Or is the total cost 1200.00. (Under the terms and conditions it states an 18% fee is added to the I package) 2. Is that 60.00 cost a special deal that we have to purchase before boarding? 3. If we purchase the package before boarding and for some unknown reason we have to cancel at the last minute do we get a total refund on the package? (Rep told me if I purchase it now it goes into the total cost of my trip and no refund of package if we cancel. Never heard of that before) 4. Rep told me that if we wait to purchase the Plus package on embarkation day it will still be 60.00 and no 18%fee. I'm not sure I believe that because he was so unsure of everything he was telling me. Hopefully someone out here who has just gotten off a cruise can clarify this. Reason I would like to purchase this package onboard is because we have some credits coming but they can only be used onboard the ship, can't use them before boarding. Please help

Can anyone please tell me what restaurants you can choose from on the Emerald for the casual dining perk. Also any menus would be very helpful as well.

Short Review of Regal Princess Cruise out of Galveston Jan 28, 2024

Thanks so much. How long does it take to get there? Do shuttles to the island run all day or just at certain times? -
Short Review of Regal Princess Cruise out of Galveston Jan 28, 2024

How did you get to French Key and are the beaches nice there? -
My friend and I will be cruising on the Emerald and we are thinking about bidding on a suite. The problem is we need twin beds in the room. On the deck plan it states that some of the rooms can't be changed to twin beds but it doesn't show which ones. I called Princess to ask if there was a way to tell exactly which rooms these would be and they had no idea. Told me if we got assigned one that one of us could sleep on the pull out couch! That's not an option for either of us. Does anyone know how to get this cabin bed information please?

Galveston -- Easy boarding Regal today Jan 21, 2024
fedexretiree replied to Paula_MacFan's topic in Princess Cruises
Back in 2015 we sailed on the Regal. At that time the buffet was AMAZING. I'm a shrimp lover and there were several dishes that had shrimp to choose from each night. I'm going to assume that after all the cutbacks there is a major difference in the buffet food now. Would like to hear anyone's experience lately in the buffet. My husband is a meat and taters guy so typically he prefers the buffet too. -

Ok thanks..I typically cruise on Celebrity and in the past almost every night they had a free slot tournament that was free and they would give out little prizes -

Does Princess offer any free slot tournaments in the casino? -
Guarantee room on the Regal Princess
fedexretiree replied to fedexretiree's topic in Princess Cruises
Thanks very much to everyone that responded. I think I've made my mind up and I'm going to skip this cruise. Good price ..but.. If I got stuck on the Marina deck under the noisy pool deck it would most likely ruin the trip for me. After looking at availability, mostly balconies on that deck are what is still showing available. -
I have never booked a guarantee room before because I like picking the room in advance. However the cruise that i am interested in taking only has guarantee balcony rooms (that I can afford) available right now and I have a few questions about the process. I do not want a room on the Marina deck below the pool deck and the BD category doesn't include the Marina deck. So by booking this category Does that mean I will only get a room in this category or could I end up on the Marina deck? Also I don't want to end up with an obstructed balcony which is another reason that I spent a few more bucks for this category as opposed to booking a guarantee in the DW category. Help with this please so I can understand the process.

Geoffs was closed last year for their renovations. They are open unless they closed just recently. Just checked Resorts for a day and nothing at all is offered when our ship will be there in November. We went to Geoffs years ago and I loved it. Just wanted to find a reputable tour company to go with this time. Having trouble with that

Which company did you use to book this excursion with

What was the dress code for that evening? We have a snorkel planned for the morning and will be rushing back for this.

Our last cruise was on PG. When we were docked in Bora Bora there was a tender that took you to a private island for a beach day..Does Windstar do that as well?

Thanks so much.

Adapter and Electric Converter for Tahiti

My friend wants to bring her own hair dryer so we will need both things unfortunately....I Don't know what the adapter should look like either, there are a bunch of different ones. -
Adapter and Electric Converter for Tahiti
fedexretiree replied to fedexretiree's topic in Windstar Cruises
Thanks -
Thanks...we are very excited to see this. I called them and they didn't know what night it was. I'm trying to plan excursions around it so I don't miss it.
-
Can someone please give me a recommendation for a good Electric Converter and adapter for Tahiti. I would appreciate a link so that I could purchase this on Amazon if possible. We will need it for the phones, camera and hair dryer and also for the hotel that we will be staying at. We are trying not to spend a lot of money on this because this will probably be the one and only time that we will use it. Thanks in advance.

We will be on the Wind Spirit on July 10,2023. The ship will be in Bora Bora for 2 nights there is a Celebration Festival on the Motu. You will spend the evening on a secluded motu accompanied only by other Windstar guests. Is that held on the 1st or 2nd night of the cruise?
