Misplaced Outrage,

We are on the Emerald Princess out of NYC and got an email encouraging us to book our flights. We live in New Jersey about 90 miles from port. The price on EZAir is about $700 per person out of Philly via Norfolk VA. With tolls and gas it is under $100. These emails are automatically generated regardless of situation.

Glad that your granddaughter is tame 😁(wish mine were). What did you mean to say?

I assume you could ask to switch and see how it goes, you can definitely bid for an upgrade, if offered, I have a guarantee cabin (now assigned) and I happen to be happy but I could bid if I wanted.

Just successfully logged on.

Maybe you can create a pinned thread entitled "The Complaint and Grievance Thread". 😁

Haven't seen it on my Travel Summary either, also have Plus 60, however, if you click on the "It Pays to Plus" area it should show up with the word "Purchased" at the bottom. My guess is that it will take time to update the Travel Summary.

There are plenty of gripes about this on the now closed thread about the announced changes. I agree with you but am not surprised, I was always amazed it was complementary.

The September cruises on the Emerald and Caribbean Princess are scheduled out of Red Hook Brooklyn. Schedules and port information can be found here: Brooklyn Terminal | NYCruise

It may be time for admin to bring out the locks and bring this thread to a deserved end. It has evolved into perceived personal attacks. elites again griping about perk reductions and a tip debate. Actual information about the changes has been pointed out and discussed ad nauseum. Confused cruisers have a hard time sifting through this thread to find out what the changes actually are and the true facts.

First of all, Grand class ships do not have an Alfredos/Gigis. Even the ships that do have a pizza place on the lido deck where you can

Observations: I have Plus/60 on my September cruise on the Emerald, while my travel summary has not changed, when I bring up Upgrade Packages it shows the list of all the new bells and whistles under Plus and the word purchased at the bottom. I presume it will take a while for the chages to show up on the travel summary. When I selected dining on the website for my cruise, all descriptions of dining options on the Emerald are gone, I guess they are revising the page to reflect the new information. It directs the user to the app. If I were a new cruiser, I would find this very confusing.

No need to change medallions at all. All the medallions have is a code that links you to the shipboard database. It will open whatever cabin door you are assigned to.

yes

The union and UPS have reached a tentative agreement.

The secret requitements for Elite status: Must get the Elite Sea Witch tattoo. Learn the secret handshake and hand signals. Must memorize the Elite motto.

Don't forget to tip the Captain for a successful voyage!

Some Americans find traveling to Floridia unsettling too. 😂

Others have reported stashing away trays from room service to use in the buffet.

Remember how ever so speedy Princess IT is about updating the website? How long did pictures of the late lamented barrel chairs remained after they were removed?

Abandoning a cruise line over ice cream? Inconceivable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not an idiot it is very easy to overlook.

The app itself no longer says Medallion on the icon.

Go back there again look below the app information and in very tiny letters it says "Don't have a compatible device? Try our web version."

What a load of misinformation1 1. The Medallion is a separate entity from the app and unlocks the cabin door, make purchases onboard and record you going on and off the ship. Reports are that it works quite well. 2. The app which is now officially known as the Princess App has been problematic for some, however, you can do check in on the Princess website.
