you have "status" (casino), so yes, maybe some tables are held back for "status" Us regular 'shmoos'
that have only taken 17 or so cruises, staying in a regular balcony, can be shut out. I "KNOW" because it happened to us on our last cruise. No balcony dining, no Crown Grill, Sabitini's ONLY on first night.
we 'always' stop by Pancho's Backyard ... my wife parks me there at an outside table with shade. I'll have a couple of 'fishbowl' "local beers" (XX) - that I may have in the fridge at home😉 and she will continue
/ finish browsing the shops, then meet me for a 'fishbowl' mojito and maybe some apps, maybe not.
she did have her feet nibbled there once.
I got a new CVP, talked and emailed to him, got my old fare reinstated (did not get the website price in error) and did get a nice OBC for our troubles. All good, will keep monitoring prices as lots of cabins being shown as available.
CVP did state to put cabin on hold, if needed, then contact him. First time I've ever been told that is the proper way for the CVP to get 'credit' for the booking.
I "read somewhere" - maybe here on CC, that the language 'credit can not be used in casino' might actually start being enforced. will 'excursion credit' follow - NO EXCURSION, NO EXCURSION CRUISE CREDIT FOR YOU 🤑😈
for all Princess ships - start with Vines, Crooners, and Alfredo's/Gigi's - and keep an aft adult pool and bar as on Grand Class ships.
and add a 24 hour Waffle House...
I 'seem' to have a person on now that knows 'maybe' what they are doing - at least I can
understand her. She 'escalated' my concerns and stated the Princess website prices have
been screwed up all day and not to honor them for new bookings or refares.
Again - this person was super nice, just not able to do anything from her end.
and yet, we we boarded the CB and went directly to try to book Ultimate Balcony - not available - ok, how about Crown - all booked for cruise - Sabatini's? - first night only
this was onboard - not pre-cruise
and of course the "chat" person screwed up my reservation ... and disconnected before I could
print the chat
it will all work out - it's a game now to me ... $1 deposit on a cruise that looks to be less than
25% full - at least to the deck plans when booking 'plan a cruise'
I've had no problems with this CVP in the past - no real help, but nothing like this - 'she' evened answered a couple of questions concerning this exact cruise a few days ago - no help, but at least
answered my questions
I booked a $1 deposit on a weekend when my CVP was not available. Got this email today when inquiring about a price drop and upgrading
from PLUS to PREMIER.
I would not be able to help you today since I have appointments all day with guests that wishes book cruises with me. Please call 800 774 6237 and speak to a representative since you booked this online. Have a great day.
