I received an invite. Elite with only the 2021 WC still on the books as others were canceled by Princess or I canceled in April.

As usual, nada... So glad to be a valued elite....

Are you hoping to go on the January 5, 2021 Sky Princess? Me too. I’m more worried about the airport and hotel in Fort Lauderdale than the ship. 🤞

 

No. World cruise on Island. Went on Sky Princess for inaugural sailing ~ loved it & you will too! Positive thoughts, right?🤩

I'd be nervous about any first sailing, but wishing you good luck with that and wonderful memories.

Not sure if I was clear....my 1st world cruise. I'm elite with Princess. Last was Antarctica in December so if I don't cruise again; I have great memories of great cruises to places I never would have gone otherwise.

I'm hoping they will resume in time for my Caribbean Circle on Island Princess, scheduled fro Dec 20. That will be the first, and last, sailing of the Island before it begins the 2021 World Cruise.

I hope you make it, too! We're booked on the 2021 WC. First one!

Hard to anticipate how they're going to successfully launch from Florida for a long time to come if we can't get our number of cases to diminish. FL is the #1 hotspot in the world; especially Miami/Dade...Hanging on by a thread hoping for the best for the 2021 WC leaving FLL in early January but thinking that's just a dream that's going up in smoke..

$15 onboard credit? Wow, who could pass on that?

That made me laugh. So sorry but here's $15USD for your trouble....🤣

Still nothing. If done alphabetically I should see something in a month or two. Wouldn't yo think that Princess would encourage their elite members to stick with them?? Sigh... they just can't get anything right at the moment...

Didn't receive one either nor have I ever received the last minute sale email offers we signed up for years ago. Yes, I know they would not be sending them out now but just saying that I've never received them in the past......called several times to no avail.

If you are saying that you requested to have your FCC's refunded and NOT put back into your account then count on it taking several months to see a refund to your CC. I canceled several cruises held with my FCC deposit of $100/ea. I subsequently called Princess to request a cash refund for 6 FCC's on 4/1. It took 69 days for the money to be refunded to my CC on file. BTW, the FCC's "fell off" of the Princess website within a few days of making the call for a refund...

So happy to have received our FCC refunds today after waiting 7 weeks. It was a straight forward transaction with no higher math required but glad to get my $600 back. Good luck everyone!

We are Platinum loyalty level on Princess,but I am not sure that this has anything to do with getting our refund.

Doubt it. We're both elite and have the easiest of all transactions. I requested to cash in 6 FCC's for $600. Day 61 and counting...

We did and so did my sister in NY. Not sure about the 3rd one we sent. I think it took close to 2 months. We must have sent it around the 1st of the year as we docked on January 5th in Santiago (Valparaiso).

Quiet. I'm turning into the cook I never wanted to be....

Arnold Donald giving a great interview on CNBC...

South America and Antarctica on Coral Princess on December 20, 2019. Fabulous cruise! Hated to see it end.

Fingers crossed for all of us who still have interest in cruising. The only cruise that I didn't cancel is our World Cruise leaving in January 2021. Thinking positive thoughts.

Has anyone heard anything from anyone onboard?  I'm curious as to how things are going with them.

Easy. Check out the Pacific Princess world cruise roll call. There are still active posters on there...

Not even close to hurricane season. We don't really see any appreciable activity until August.  I expect that within the next few months they will start ironing out a strategy. There all all kinds of cruise ships off the east and west coasts off Florida...

On a lighter note...I guess we'll be doing a lot of desert cruising....

DH and I both became elite in the last 6 months. No letter. No pins. However, I did get my free laundry and the bar setup on my 16th cruise. They can keep the pin...

So sorry to hear about your disrupted cruise. We are booked on next year's WC on the Island and we're really looking forward to our first WC and know how disappointed we would be should the same thing happen to us. Hoping you get to travel to the missed ports again in the future.

You may want to wait a few more things until things die down a bit as I'm sure the phone lines are jammed and you have plenty of time to cancel. You should definitely cancel to get the refund.

Kudos Princess. Next cruise scheduled for this summer. Fingers crossed!

I'm a bit confused. If you're truly trying to buy gin to take home; Princess will take if from you (if declared) and return the night before you leave...
