  1. We have used one of our Goodwill FCC on an existing booking. Contacted our CVP to have it applied.
  2. You do not need to wait for an invite. If you are elite, log into your account on March 5 and you should see the pricing and availability. Releases are usually available at 9:00am California time. We are also thinking of booking if we can get over the thought of it being on the Island, our least favorite ship.
  3. Goes on sale March 5 for Elite.
  4. We were on Baja, think you were caribe and we could talk with the crew quarantined on Aloha. Mostly entertainment staff. Could see the person who was quarantined in our original cabin on Dolphin and exercising. Enjoy your trip.
  5. We flew January on the AA flight in rear facing seats. No issue, nothing to see, slept soundly from EZE to DFW.
  6. The comment has been there for years on all reservations. We have used EZAir for years both in all fare categories and have never been charged. Check with the airline you are flying to see what their rules are.
  7. Thank you for the correction. They were tiny bottles.
  8. Absolutely not true. We have cruised on the Emerald, Grand, Ruby, Majestic, Caribbean and Sapphire in 2022 for over 100 days and all dryers were efficient and done within the preset time period.
  9. Don’t know your beverage choices. Recently, December, we purchased Jack Daniels and Bombay Sapphire, 750ml, for around $26. Call Room Service for delivery and availability.
  10. @MaisonRoseSounds like we were on the same cruise. DH tested positive at the end of our BI cruise May 2022 after the TA. Inadvertently I forgot to add Princess insurance. Worked to our advantage as we did not have to deal with AON for reimbursement. Spent 7 days at Radisson Blu Heathrow, 5 days paid by Princess. Filed claim with Princess for 2 days, per diem, testing expenses upon return home. Princess changed our flights home with no additional charge. Reimbursed end of October for all out of pocket expenses. if you go to Princess.com, select contact us, support request and use the drop down to claim out of pocket expenses. Your FCC for days in isolation should have appeared in your accounts, ours appeared within days of the cruise end. Dealing with AON insurance is the hold up.
  11. I would not wait until onboard to book disembarkation transfer. After one of our cruises out of Rome I waited until 3 days prior to disembark to try and book only to find there was no space available. You can always cancel a reservation.
  12. Specialty dining options were available on some itineraries prior to the shutdown.
  13. Thank you. One of my children lives in Napier and was not aware. They are safe.
  14. Received a check today after disembarking January 4. Only issue it is $325 short. Filed request for refund after receiving emailed folio and comparing it with onboard folio the morning of disembark mid-January. Missing Shareholders and FCD funds in the accounting process. Yes I know they are non-refundable but we had military and a large goodwill compensation. The check came in an envelope with Bottomline Technologies and Princess Cruises very visible. A great improvement from previous refunds.
  15. Princess always places holds in your credit card on file. From experience they sometime show on your bank account and sometimes not. The hoods are usually in the $60-$100 range. Never seen small amounts.
  16. As someone who was on the Wahine, definitely not. Will never get over the evacuation boats and wading in water to safety. Pay attention to all safety videos and routes going forward. Overcoming fear has been a long road, but now cruise 2-4 months a year. Safety policies have come a long long way. Still will not travel on the Interisland ferries. Fly from Wellington or sail with family friend on their boat to Picton.
  17. Disappointed to see our favorites replaced. No lamb skewers, lamb ravioli, pork tenderloin. Menu did need improvement and consistency across the fleet. Ruby was on point with well prepared, flavorful dishes. Grand, dreadful for the same items. Sapphire inconsistent. Management on the Sapphire were well aware of the shortcomings and offered guests complimentary meals to give them a second chance.
  18. We ate regularly in the Sante Fe dining room on our recent cruise. A section of the dining room is reserved for Club Class, not the entire dining room. We reserved using the Medallion App with no issues.
  19. The validity of this offer was posted on Princess FB page. The following is a screenshot of the response from Princess.
  20. It is a valid website as indicated in this screenshot in response to a question to Princess on FB.
  21. Pours on the ships appear to be 1.5 ounces measured, unless you have a bartender who pours by count
  22. Nothing worth using. We always bring our own shampoo, conditioners, lotions and bar soap.’ Shower gel is not moisturizing.
  23. I see you posted on a March 3 roll call today. So you are not cruising March 3?
