Why not wait until you're on board. I tip based on service received not before so I better decide how much I want to tip. You can adjust the amount at guest services up or down or away.

I had this issue just this month. I booked directly with RCL about two months prior to sailing and paid in full at the time of booking. About two weeks before sailing I saw a balcony cabin I preferred and they do not allow changes. It doesn't hurt to ask. I think your TA can do it because you're so far out and the fare is the same so it's more of a cancel and rebook.

So sorry you had such a bad experience. For you insurance was a necessity. I carry Medjet which gets me transported home. My large HMO covers medical anywhere in the world. The blanket advise to get insurance is not right for everyone.

You can do EZAIR directly with Princess no need to go through your TA

Gift card balance will go back to the gift card not refunded as a check. Did you use more then one device per person which was the allotment on your plus package causing the extra charges?

If your flight has in any way been changed then EZAIR will allow you to make changes at no cost. If you merely want to make changes because you like something different then you cancel and rebook at the current pricing. There is no direct number to ezair, you go through the regular number and listen to the menu which has air as one of the options

Is full suite room service upgraded and complimentary? You pay for room service either $5 per order or if you do the medallion activation. The exception is the paper breakfast menu you place on the door the night before which has some basic's like coffee tea and toast. I believe you can get coffees loaded onto your medallion in exchange for the mini bar. Call room service to do the trade.

You can do it via email as I stated earlier. It takes an extra day but most of us do it well in advance of the cruise. email to SBPCL@PRINCESSCRUISES.COM

That's exactly what I stated, no charge for continental breakfast menu via the card you hang on the door

Maybe you wouldn't order room service but many people might. I order room service coffee to be delivered every morning before going to breakfast at Sabitini's. I don't use an app so don't bother with looking at menu's since i won't pay that $5. I don't drink so would never buy the over priced alcohol package.

I don't use their app but submitted my statement through the email. It takes them about 2 days to apply it that way but I'm in no hurry since I do it with plenty of time before my cruise.

When your flight has been changed by Princess EZair you can call and if possible they will accommodate you at no fee.

Just a correction regarding suite perks. Dec we sailed in a full suite 28 nights. You do not get MDR menu's to order from anymore AND even full suites pay $5 room service fees for everything except the morning menu for a continental breakfast. The room service fee is included in the highest priced alcohol package.

That's assuming you want to keep the suggested gratuity at their exorbitant daily rate. I prefer to reduce them to a more realistic amount. If you are at a Platinum or higher level the wifi rate is discounted 50% and you can share one devise.

Do they have sugar free hot chocolate? Packets maybe to make my own with the hot water from the dispenser?

It doesn't seem logical that if you pay a discounted price for a gift card that Princess would refund the face value. It that worked we all would buy a thousands of dollars worth of gift cards for OBC to be refunded via check.

PHS?

The tipping on a cruise is a rip off and the cruise company keeps a portion of it. When I tip at home I know who I'm tipping and why. The cruise is only a suggestion and can be adjusted down at guest services.

I doubt that. I think people are denied boarding because they don't have the right documentation IE passports. With ships having 3,000 - and more passengers they just keep going down the list with these offers until someone takes them up on it. Unlike an airplane which has a few hundred people to ask to change flights.

It is not the only way. I did it via email just last week. Princess told me next month they plan to roll out a web version too. Not everyone uses a smart phone or even if they do won't download these glitchy apps.

I just scanned my statement from my brokerage acct and blacked out all but the needed dates and my name and the quantity of stock and sent it to the below email , You need your ship name and booking number and sailing date. SBPCL@Princesscruises.com

Full suites do not get included room service anymore except for the breakfast menu you hang on the door the night before. I do believe room service for the premium package is a flat fee for the entire cruise of $14.99. I sailed in a full suite in Dec and did not have a beverage package so I'm not sure about the flat fee. I was quoted a fee of $5 each room service I ordered so didn't use it.

Can't you adjust the gratuity at guest services if you want?

Those sailings are sold out, I'm sailing on the Navigator in 2 weeks. They are a nice short get a way for those that live near the port. There is no need to even get off the ship in Ensenada except for a nice walk around. If the price is right it's like a long week vacation. I like the smaller ships so won't sail the biggies if they do port in San Pedro.

Is there sugar free hot chocolate anywhere?
