Not sure that's it. DW's account is fine and I've seen that request in the past. They certainly don't need my address and phone numbers again...

I can't complete my login this morning unless I re-enter my address, phone number and so on. They have had this information for many years now and certainly haven't lost it, or did they? Decided that in this age of spoofing web-sites and so on, I'll wait it out and see if the issue gets corrected. Anyone else seeing this or is it just me? Edit: Just logged in on DW's account. No problem there...

The biggest, baddest and meanest person with the most tattoos of course! Who's gonna say anything?

We had a similar experience on the Emerald Princess back in December. Suddenly all the production shows were either canceled or reworked with just the singers, no dancers. Cruise staff would not say why, just that everyone was fine. You could tell they were thinking something else. Finally got one member to admit they were all quarantined. Don't expect anything else. Princess hides lots of information they'd rather not have anyone know.

That's essentially correct. You don't have to ship tag the TOUR bag until your last day.

Now I understand the inside cabin!

Marinetraffic.com has her in the Red Sea heading for Singapore.

It's nice we both have iPhones and can use iMessage with the Internet. He must be staying up later ... it's his third of five legs on the Island Princess.

The Island Princess is currently cruising in the Baltic heading for Riga, Latvia.

Got an answer: Masks are required in the dining rooms (maybe the buffets too?) as you walk in and out but not while seated. Masks are suggested in elevators. Other venues will require masks from time to time and signs will be posted.

Really depends on the cruise. In Alaska where there are lots of new cruisers, and now with ships running at a little more than half-full, the disembarkation lounge was pretty much empty.

I have a friend on board who is not in Cruise Critic. We've been texting now and then. I just asked him but it's late over there and he's an early bird. Hopefully we'll have an answer soon.

On our Cruisetour that began on May 26 we found this to be no longer true. We were allowed multiple bags per person on the land tour if we wished.

Yes, you first take all your suitcases to the hotel. Bags will be separated before you depart your first lodge/hotel. You will need your ship bag tags for all your bags. You will also be given two sets of tags, one labeled "Meet Me At the Ship" and the other labeled "Meet Me Tonight". There's a third set of tags you use for transport of your bags to the next lodge. They will be given to you upon arrival to the previous lodge. On the very last day of the land tour you will attach the ship bag tags to your remaining bags. On our tour the director took the ship cabin-specific tags and did a great job of attaching them to cover a lodge tag. Very tough and no worries about them getting detached.

We're hopefully heading out on AA in two days. So far flights are showing ok. Just noticed though that same flights yesterday were canceled. 😱 Told DW that we should be mentally prepared for an adventure as well as carrying a change of clothes in our carry-ons. At least we are arriving at our destination without any significant time constraint. Staying vigilant

That's what we did. DW and I each got the five $500 cards over two months for $10,000. They're all spent so we still need more for our next cruises.

Reporting back in after using mega-gift cards to pay for a B2B2B with EZair at both ends. Results are inconclusive. My TA said he's never had a problem using gift cards for EZair but ... we didn't have enough gift cards to cover everything so I can't tell if they worked or not. Regardless, we maxed out our allocation with the discount provider for June and July. We'll start stocking up next month if they're still available. What a deal!

Agree both the lodges and the Royal Princess have hairdryers. The Royal Princess hides them in a drawer by the desk. Enjoy the CruiseTour. If you get Greg Santanna as a Tour Director you're in for a treat. We had him on our tour at the end of May. Really knows his stuff and his demeanor is perfect for a TD.

RRA (aft) should require tendering as it's the aft part of the dock that's damaged at its forward end. It's too dangerous to move passengers past the damage as rocks are still coming down off the mountainside.

Guest Services has in the past, accepted written letters to the captain. A note pretty much saying what you just said (not the plebs part) about your 10 year old just might get a nice response. It's worth a try.

I suggest you take a look at the region-specific boards for Europe: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/8-europe/

I understand the frustration. IIRC Princess opens the "office" at 9AM Pacific Time. If you're in NY as your info states, call at noon and hopefully the wait time will be shorter.

🤣

Some of them (not all) come via FedEx. If you've signed up with FedEx online you can be notified of all packages bound for you. That's how we've known about our previous Medallion deliveries. Princess never sent us any messages. BTW, all our deliveries have come from Singapore.
