Don't feel too badly. We're about to take our 20th cruise with Princess this month but have only used EZAir once before and it worked out beautifully. We booked very last minute for the upcoming cruise and also bought the flexible fare tickets and paid almost immediately thinking that we should do that so that we would be booked with the airline and then be able to upgrade. Sure, we made a mistake as others have pointed out that EZAir buys bulk flights. What did we know ~ didn't give it a minutes thought and now we know we can't try to pay for the "normal" upgrade. BTW, tickets were NOT cheap as they were purchased about 3 months prior to the cruise. For us, it's just a matter of upgraded seats (for a 17 hour flight would be lovely...) on the same day and am sorry for your experience. Enjoy your trip and don't look back. We've all made our own travel mistakes but how you handle/face it makes all the difference.

@ETdreamer Wondering what you learned after the RAT tests? We board on the 29th and I'm trying to keep up with what's happening on board. TIA.

Glad we went a few weeks ago when it was $29.

Our cruise ended the 29th and my husband received an e-mail the following day and another a few days later as he hadn't done a review. I agree that you want to acknowledge those who make you cruise special. You used to be able to get cards at Guest Services to do that but they've done away with those. I used to fill them out while on board so that I didn't forget those who made a special effort. Now I just make notes while on the cruise. I agree with PacnGoNow. Contact Princess. It does make a difference to the staff!

Someone on the last cruise posted that the laundry had re-opened. Hoping that's the case when we board on the 29th. I always keep an eye on the roll calls prior to my cruise to see what people on board are reporting..

Just off B2B where DH bought the 4 device plan for the entire cruise on his account. We often had all four devices in use with no problem. My laptop was continuously online but I often had to reconnect my cell phone as I kept getting dropped on occasion.

We were on from December 9th through the 29th but was too lazy to write a review and thank you for doing quite a thorough job although I didn't experience some of the issues that you outlined. Never smelled MJ on Aloha and our AC cranked out great cold air. Our internet seemed better on the 2nd leg of the journey for some reason but understood that there were about 400+/- fewer passengers. I think ALL of the production shows were great (5 Skies a bit different but good) and if you get the chance to do the backstage tour; I highly recommend it. We saw Spotlight Bar twice and was happy that we sat down front for the 2nd showing! Hats off to a hard working staff. I agree that GS did a great job ~ shout out to Fong and Sandra for keeping our account clean as there were several instances of erroneous charges to our account. (Amused by the final one which was a food delivery from the Crown Grille while we were dining in Capri. Figure that one out...). Overall, we were very happy with the crew, the ship and the great production shows (and crew). Another shout out to Jody Miles (CD). Her energy is amazing!

We can drive to FLL in about 3 1/2 hours and used to arrive on the day of the cruise. I decided to go a day in advance years ago and take our time arriving more relaxed. It also gives me time to pick up last minute things in the shopping center a mile from the ship with a Total Wine and Publix. Happy travels!

Yes. Just off a B2B on Thursday. Credits rolled over w/no problem. It's automatic. They were each 10 day cruises.

What a miserable experience for those passengers and keeping fingers crossed we have better luck on the Majestic 4 weeks from now. How irresponsible of the respective cruise lines. This will be our only shot at seeing NZ as well and feel the pain of those in the same situation who have waited years for this special journey.

Don't know why that would be any different than watching it on ONE tv in your cabin. Expectation is that all parties are present then as well..

Hey, Julie. It's been great and couldn't have asked for better weather. Nice meeting you guys as well & hope we'll see you on another cruise. Tell Henry I'm still enjoying the "cards". They're keepers.

Same exact thing happened to us. This is the last day of our 20 day cruise on Enchanted and never heard a peep. As this is considered a B2B, we went to Guest Services a day or two before the start of the 2nd "leg" and asked if we could pay for an upgrade as there is only 2800 +/- on the ship and many open cabins but know many are balconies (we're in a deluxe balcony) and we wanted a mini but never heard a thing from Guest Services. I'm stumped by the lack of response in both cases. Never did get an e-mail for our Majestic cruise next month and don't know if there is anything to offer as we're in a mini this time but could have gotten CC?? Who knows...

News to me, too and good to know. Just bought a few on board the other day in case something comes up before the next cruise.

Not to my knowledge. One side for Club Class and the other seemed to handle both reservations and walk up but take that with a grain of salt. We had reservations for most nights at 5:50PM and I think they accepted walk-ups from 5:00-5:45.PM but not sure. We often arrived a little early and never had a problem.

To stop the spread. About a month ago this ship had 800+ cases. I think it was posted on the roll call at the time as well as general post about COVID on the Majestic last month that I was following as we'll be on in a month.

That sounds good but will be in Auckland for 5 days prior to a 13 day cruise. Usually do laundry every week. Will send it out if they are providing laundry service for elite.

Good to know. Hope the Majestic has them next month. Won't kill me if they don't but like flavored coffee. Guess it's a guilty pleasure.

Wish I remembered the names but remember a white chocolate one that we used to get. Definitely more of a variety than there seems to be now. I like the flavored coffees and don't find the same selection. Getting a mocha every day as that's the best for me.

Stuffed bears on Enchanted.

COVID. Glad to hear as we will be on next month and will need to do laundry as we're traveling for several weeks.

Yes but without the cards you will need to track how many coffees have been charged. We've been on for almost 20 days and it seems that we have had endless coffees. I do miss the old coffee choices, tho'.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas from Enchanted Princess! They've done an outstanding job on this cruise to bring the holidays to life. Kudos to the staff!🎄

On Enchanted since 12/9 for b2b of 10 days each. 1st setup was a joke as they only had scotch (bleh). Turned it in for 2 coffee cards that we are still using on the 2nd 10-day part of this trip ~ just rolled over from the 1st cruise. Now, the 2nd bar set-up was wonderful! Since they didn't have the "pony" bottles of vodka/gin, etc., we were left the two bottles of beer and a 375ml bottle of gin and vodka each. Hard to complain about that one! One the 1st part of the cruise it took a few days to make the exchange but on the current leg of the cruise, we waited a day or two to exchange the beer for more tonic water and it was done in a day.

@Scotmay We've been on board Enchanted since Dec. 9th and had taken other CC folks advice and booked the Capri which is on Deck 6 mid-ship. We love that DR and had used the app to book our dining times with no issue, however, were not always able to get a private table for 2. When we boarded on the 9th, we went immediately to Crown Grille to make a reservation and the young lady there (Vaishala) modified our existing reservations in the Capri and was able to get us a table for 2 each night. BTW, dinner in CG was fabulous as always. Enjoy your cruise. Have been frustrated with the Medallion itself but the app has been working fine..
