There are specific hours for this program and unfortunately, we couldn't participate because your flight had to be before 6:00 pm and ours wasn't until 6:15. I went down to the desk and asked if there was any leeway and they said no. It was a SWA flight.

We had previously used the Port Valet service, however on our last Princess cruise, the form from the Port Valet service said your flight had to be scheduled to depart before 6:00 pm. Since ours was a SWA at 6:15 pm, I asked if there was any leeway and they said no. The form used to be on the port's website, but don't know if it still is.

Not according to cruisedeckplans.com!

Lots of opinions here:

Princess cancelled our March 8th cruise on March 8th. The FCC was in our account the next day as Voyage Goodwill.

did you receive the rest of your refund yet?

Received all of our refunds in March. Turns out, both FCCs were really there too. After talking to our PVP, only one was listed in the account as we only have one account and use it for both bookings.

Our 2 FCDs purchased in September 2019 were both refunded to our CC from a March cruise cancelled by Princess.

I've read elsewhere here on CC that some 3rd party insurance companies are willing to transfer coverage to another cruise in the future or issue a credit for coverage for another cruise. Would be worth a phone call. We had our air fare, insurance and cruise with Princess and they refunded all of it.

Princess cancelled our March 8th cruise on March 8th and received the credit on my credit card on March 9th. They also refunded our future cruise certificate which were just purchased in September 2019. Only have 1 fare credited as FCC so far.

Also received the credit card credit for excursions and pre-purchased alcohol.

Marine Traffic shows the Caribbean Princess at Ocho Rios now.

Went through all my "cruise stuff" from our California Coastal, and I didn't save the form.

Sorry!

This is the website, but I don't know how you can get the flight times. We wanted to use it in September 2019, but our flight was too late. There was a form in our cabin with the airlines and times listed. We were on SWA at 6:15 and the flights on the form only went through 6 pm on SWA. Went and asked if those times were set in stone and they said "definitely yes"!

The Island has an indoor pool and has sailed out of US ports.

We carried on sodas in Barcelona to the Horizon in 2018.

On Princess, you have to get special permission ahead of time (before the cruise) and I think there's a fee.

Carnival is switching from Coke to Pepsi in January. Pepsi also have the free style machines. Will Carnival use them? Who knows. It is also said that Princess will switch. I do like all the choices that Pepsi makes which would be available from the free style machines.

I believe the free style machines are Coke . . . not Pepsi.

Yes it is the same.

Just took the survey I got and it was the same as Victory. . . about the medallion cruise features.

I got one today as well. Didn't do the survey yet. I previously had one like this (couldn't tell you if it was the from the same email though) and it was regarding authors, book signings and cocktail parties with the authors during the cruise. I think the author was a female, but don't remember her name.

For our Star Cruise, 9/22/19, we just paid $626 total, through Princess, for 2 nights for 2 at the Westin including transfers from the airport to the hotel and the hotel to the port. I also vote for a downtown location, as traffic was awful everywhere.  

We were on the Horizon inaugural and didn't see anything unfinished or still being worked on. This was a 13 day Mediterranean though, and not a TA. Was nervous at first, as they sent the ship back to Italy to repaint the hull but was docked in Barcelona when our plane arrived. Service in the Italian restaurant for lunch was iffy, but overall a very nice experience. We were the first to sleep in the bed!! 

Would definitely suggest a Princess tour if wanting to go to Paris. We were one of the last Princess tour buses returning late to the port because of an accident on the freeway. Heard we departed without 5 passengers who were on independent tours. It's such a great distance to Paris, that anything can happen. Good thing is, it's the last port, so you'd only have to find your way to Southampton. Wasn't passing up the chance to go to Paris! 

In September we had the Pub Lunch on the Star in the Crown Grill.

We just managed ours from the ports last month. All the ports had a room with free WiFi. We did use the app.

We embarked the Star in Seattle on 9/22/19. We didn't ask anyone and just went to the Portofino dining room. The hostess was a little sarcastic and said the menu was very limited for lunch. Had us look at the menu before seating us. Was a little surprised how few people were there.
