I often use gift cards to pay for Bev pkg but yes, you must call Princess and have them do it or have your TA do it with Princess. I wish they would add an option for paying with giftcard. 

Can anyone who is currently on the Royal or has has been recently, comment as to whether this is being offered right now? 

Perfect! Thank you everyone for your help! 

I also am looking for a transportation from the pier to our Waikiki hotel. The shuttle/transportation companies that I have called also told me that they are not allowed to pick up inside the terminal. The ones that are available for online booking are either to or from the airport but I am needing from the cruise terminal to Waikiki hotel. We are 4 adults with 6 pieces of luggage. I also don’t want to chance not being able to fit into an Uber. 
I would appreciate any help on this as well.

We use DN Transportation LAX. We have used them 4 times The owner, Renee, is a super nice guy. Has always been reliable and on time. The service we receive is excellent and we think the price is reasonable for the service we receive. Black Cadillac Escalade.

We just got off the Enchanted last cruise and it could be used for anything including the casino. They do not differentiate it as a separate OBC.

I suspect they word it that way to encourage people to use it only for excursions and nothing else. 

We no longer do any excursions in the Caribbean. 

Thank you so much for this first hand info!!!

Thanks for your replies! It is showing on our cruise Personalizer as OBC, So that is what I figured but I was just wondering if it would show up differently once we were on the ship.

We have the promotional “excursion credit.” I am wondering if that will show up on our folio as onboard credit or must it be used strictly to book an excursion?

We are going on the Discovery Princess in August. Just wondering where the best place is to park for the week of our cruise? Any suggestions appreciated!

We were on the Emerald last week. We spoke to The dining manager and he said it was closed due to technical/mechanical Issues in the kitchen. He said they were hoping to get it up and running by the next cruise.

Where is the PES lounge located?

Congratulations! So happy that you got your upgrade! That makes me feel hopeful that it’ll work for us next week!

"Officials in Colombia recently enacted new and unexpected policies that require cruise guests to be tested for covid-19 in order to go ashore. This is inconsistent with our port agreement but .....this is the position they have taken."

We are on this cruise after you. This info is disappointing but as everyone knows cruising right now requires flexibility. Thank for the info!

Thank you for taking your time to share!

We will be on the Emerald on Jan 18th to Panama Canal and appreciate all the info. Hoping and praying that our trip still goes….

I gave our friends/ travel companions Princess onboard credit for our upcoming Panama Canal cruise on January 18th.

precisely 30 days before embarkating

Thank you! 

Appreciate all of this info! We will be on the Emerald Jan 18th. Getting excited! When were you able to choose a boarding time on the app? 

When were your formal nights? Also, do you have any MD menus that you could post? Thanks!

I am curious, when you were finally able to book your arrival time slot, did you have to have each person in your stateroom log in to the app and select their own arrival slot, or were you able to just select for everyone in your stateroom?

I was able to choose the arrival group for both my husband and myself. I checked on his app afterwards and it shows. 

We also are on the Majestic, Oct 6th and were finally able to choose our boarding group last night. It is still showing this morning so hopefully all is well. However,  I am still not able to choose departure group. 

Wow!!! Crazy Times!!! So Sad!

We recently used Walgreens to get (BinaxNow)rapid antigen test for a different reason. It was very easy and we had our results back in about 20 minutes. I would like to use them again for our upcoming cruise in Oct but I am not sure what I should present to the cruise line as proof of negative test. We received our results in an email and it basically had our first and last name and said “you do not have Covid-19  at the time of this testing.“ It was not real official looking and there definitely was nothing to print out. Can someone that has tested at Walgreens tell me how/what you showed, was it on your phone or did you print something out?

Until then, we all continue to hit that button, cross our fingers, and not surprised when "SORRY" shows up.

 

This pretty much sums it up!!! Lol

We are on Oct 6th & still getting the “SORRY” each time I try…

Hope you had an enjoyable cruise! Thanks to all that shared info! Much appreciated!

Thanks for taking the time to do this! Much appreciated! Bon voyage!
