I give them all that I have at any given time. It's never been an issue, and I've had a lot! 😂

Thanks for the info

We use the big box and the GC's have been no problem 🙂

How many do you give then at one time?  Do you spread them out over several days / weeks?

The first time we decided to purchase them, we first contacted our TA just to make sure what the process was. She confirmed there would not be an issue and to just email her the photos of the purchased cards, each of which contains a unique number and 4-digit pin, and they would upload them into the designated booking.
 

We then purchased one just as a test, sent it to her, and all went fine. We then bought nine more that month, as we each could purchase 5 with our separate AARP Rewards accounts, and it’s been a very smooth process since.

Sounds Good.  Thanks for all your help - I appreciate it!!

Nope. But it’s large enough where our TA past off loading the GCs to their Guest Relations department for them to do the grunt work of adding them to the booking. Did your Big Box TA say they wouldn’t do it?

I haven’t asked them yet.  The Cruise is March 2024 so I’m thinking ahead.  I need about $9000 worth and I don’t want them to tell me that they won’t use them when payment comes do.

Yes. In our case we email pictures of our GCs to our TA, and then they post them for us. 

Did you TA work at a Big Box Store?

Can I use Princess Gift Cards to pay for a cruise that was purchased thru a Big Box Store?

How has the internet speed been so far on your cruise?

If we fly into LGB Airport a day or to early, should we book a hotel near the airport or the cruise port (Princess)?

If you are a couple and spend most of the cruise together you don't need 2 plans, you just need to hot-spot of the other person's phone

Great idea!

Two additional things to consider:

1) If you use a discounted TA which saves you 10% then the $50 per day becomes $45.

2). Did you ever want to try a drink but didn’t want to pay the $10 because you might not like it, well you can now take the chance cause it will cost you nothing to try.

So if one person buys a wifi plan the other person in the same room can opt out?

Does the Princess Plus Package cover all Specialty Coffees at the International Caffee?

and Can I ask my waiter at Dinner to bring me a Glass of Wine or Beer?

yes you can purchase with OBC once you are onboard...last month, I was able to wait until I was onboard & then still buy at the presailing rate in the app before the ship sailed, I don't know if this will work for all cruises, but I had so much OBC it was worth taking the chance...

also 4 devices are double the one device rate, so if you are traveling with others (you can share with anyone who logs in with your cabin & DOB) it can be better for one person to get the 4 device plan 

If there are 2 people in the room can one buy 4 device plan and the other not buy any plan and then share in the 4 device plan?

I’m looking at booking a flight on an A330-800.  It allows me to pick a seat on the first deck but it doesn’t allow me to change my choice to the second deck.  Anyone know how to change to the second deck choices?

If the disembarkation will be delayed so that you would miss your flight, Princess will re-book for you. This is especially helpful if the ship arrives a different day or at a different port.

 

If you miss a connection, Princess will tell you first to try to work it out with the airline.

Thanks everyone for your answers to my questions.

If Princess rebooks my flight because disembarkation is delayed will I be responsible for any additional costs?

Next April 2021 we are using EZAir to book our return flight from Copenhagen.  This is a TA Repositioning cruise.

What are the advantages other than price for using EZAir?  If the arrival of the ship is delayed and we miss our flight does Princess rebook our flight?  If we miss a connection because of a delayed flight or because of customs does Princess rebook the flight?

Is pop and coffee from the IC also available in the package?  Milkshakes?

Can I take a bottle of this wine to dinner with me?

Do you get 1 or 2 Bottles pp on a B2B Cruise?

Could I use this promotion to get a glass of wine/drink with my meal in the dining room?

Thanks Everyone.

I assume that if my wife and I both have our Apple Watches connected to the ship’s WIFI we can use the Walkie-Talkie app to communicate with each other.

If I purchase the MedallionNet 4 Device Package can I connect my Apple Watch as one the devices so that I can use my Apple Watch without my iPhone to receive Messages and Notifications?

Doesn’t Princess also offer a 4 Device plan when you book the first day?

All bookings are marked “Will accept an upgrade” by default unless you specifically mark it otherwise. Princess normally notifies you but they’re not required to since you’re booking is already marked that you’d accept. If you use a TA to book, the email goes to your TA to send to you. Big box store agencies don’t often forward on the emails. 
 

I prefer to use a good TA who not only saves me a lot more than booking directly or with a big box agency but she immediately forwards on any upgrade or offer. 

How / where do you mark a booking that you don’t want an upgrade?  I booked on the Princess website and  I don’t remember seeing a box to check.
 

“Ocean Ready” keeps saying my Cruise Personalizer is incomplete but the Princess Website says it is complete.  How can I correct “Ocean Ready”?
