Yes. Twice in as many months. Got an old barrel chair on Emerald in November and a "side" chair with arms on the Coral that we just departed this morning in Chile.

We have just completed a cruise on the Coral Princess and found that there are no 2nd, comfortable (tub chairs) chairs in the cabins. No one seemed to know why they had been removed.

All the current literature and plans of the cabins show them but.....

Has anyone found a reason for their removal - the obvious is to make the cabin uncomfortable so that you spend more time in a 'spending' environment.

More importantly how do we get them back

Ask your cabin steward for a 2nd chair. We did on our TA on Emerald in November and just got off the Coral this morning from Antarctica cruise with the same result. Both delivered on day of embarkation. Ask and ye' shall receive....

Sorry to hear about your delayed departure and missing Punta Arenas. We did a great tour there but the highlight will definitely be Antarctica and the Falklands! Happy travels ~ loved this trip and Captain Todd!

We'll be on her again in less than a week. My 2nd time this year and looking forward to our 3rd cruise on Coral. Love the size of this ship ~ not too big!

Congrats! Never offered an upgrade but generally request no upgrade so no surprise. Upgrades are great but I'd really like to know how so many people were offered and accepted a free cruise on the 1st Sky inaugural cruise on 12/1. I heard multiple people talking about their free cruise ~ say what??

Not on Emerald category BD 11/4-11/18.

Thanks for the posting. Will be looking as I see my Greenland cruise posted which has had an underwhelming response. I have already re-fared twice and will continue to do so if the pricing continues to be in our favor.

I guess that makes sense. These two mini-cruises must have the staff hopping. Service was great on our cruise and hope you are experiencing the same!

Glad you guys are able to enjoy the day at Princess Cays. We couldn't but not a big "miss". Hope you enjoy the ship as much as we did. Feels so much more open than the others but do miss having a library that (guessing) most others won't miss.. Wonder why it still isn't decorated for Christmas...my husband saw some of the crew hauling Christmas lights around the other day. Can't imagine what they did with them! 

Thanks for all of your posts. Tomorrow can't come soon enough and hope we're not delayed past 10PM!

Great pix! Looking forward to getting on in two short days! Thanks for all of your "reporting".

I've never gotten a free drink from a U.S. port, but sure would appreciate one.

Me too.My 1st Medallion cruise on Sunday. Sure would like a free drink if they're offering. Where and how do you get them? 😋

Book asap with a refundable fare and keep shopping. I have re-fared our Greenland cruise for next August twice since booking after seeing significant price drops. Just keep "shopping" after booking and re-fare when it makes sense keeping the booking with a refundable deposit.

It looks like there were a few of us who suffered through the abysmal service on that crossing. I purchased the unlimited minutes and won't make that mistake again. When my free minutes are over; that will be the end of it.The note they sent out was pathetic….

We have always been welcomed in the lounge before dinner.  We are going on a cruise with a lot of sea days and hopefully this hasn’t changed.  I read a comment recently that a ship was only allowing elites.

 

 

Not true. We won't be elite until our cruise next week and have always gone to the EPS lounge. Got off of the Emerald TA on Monday where there were 1190 elites! The most crowded I've ever seen that lounge! Enjoy!

Been on it twice so far in AK but will be on the cruise next month similar to yours next year over Christmas and New Year's. Love this "little" ship and will be interesting to see how it fares on this journey. Just follow our roll call or the others just after ours to see if anyone is posting "live" from the ship. I don't do that so I know it won't be me!  Our 1st Princess cruise was on the Coral and we both loved the ship and can't wait for this cruise. I sure hope you booked your excursion to Volunteer Point!

Does Princess supply you with things or so you bring things? 

Can't give you a good answer except to say that I just witnessed a portion of one on our Emerald TA a little more than a week ago where someone used a roll of toilet paper very successfully. 

Keep it nice and clean. We board in a week for the 1st of the two inaugural cruises😂😂

We were gifted a $20 wine coupon from our TA a few years ago and were able to apply it to a more expensive bottle of wine. Doubt there was anything for $29...

We didn't have them on the Aloha deck ~ just off the transatlantic yesterday ~ but I did see some down on Caribe deck below us in what I took to be normal balcony cabins. You may be able to request one if you don't have one on your balcony. I did ask for a 2nd chair in the room and received it the same day.

As I have noted in this thread. Sevice dropping/disconnection multiple times during the day on a couple of occasions. 

Sorry; haven't read the entire thread due to our lousy service ~ just a bit here and there. Thought you were talking about issues other than the internet...

We are heading back to Barcelona.

The Sky has been having issues for the entire cruise.

Yikes. What kind of issues? We're booked on the 1st (of 2) inaugural cruises out of FLL on the 1st. Gladly, it's only a 3 night cruise so I hope we can manage whatever the issues are. For such a quick cruise, I won't worry about the internet and will simply use our phones!

Internet today at sea is pretty bad. Slow and lagging.

The fact that many are probably logged on was not supposed to affect it.

Something is.

Not sure where the ship is now and think you're well behind us on your TA. We're currently on the Emerald TA and will arrive in FLL on Monday. Of course, we have Medallion.Net. Yesterday it was down for most of the day. Those of us who signed up for the unlimited access received a 30% refund to our accounts this a.m. due to the extremely poor service. Feel so sorry for the internet service manager....

I agree. We are a party of three adults. Having a hard time finding a hotel to accommodate us. Where did you stay, if you remember?

Sorry not to respond sooner but the internet on the Emerald has been down or veerrryyyy slow! I do know our place but it wouldn't work for you as there were only two twin beds in our tiny place. I'm sure you can find something as good as what we did. We loved our place and Copenhagen in general. Enjoy!!
