Then the OP’s iMessage should have worked as they use the same port.

Depends on if the ship leaves the intranet ports open that allows access.  See this thread for discussion.

In the Piazza deck 5. Opposite the IC.

Dagnabit.......I'ma gonna die on my crise......I need my Vanilla Breve every day.  I see latte but I want my Breve and I prefer the heavy cream version.  Double shot of espresso and Double shot of Vanilla.

Ask the barista if they could make it for you.  Maybe when they aren’t real busy.

I do value the WiFi (though I  get it free already as an elite member).

Elites no longer get free internet.  It’s 50% off.

The app can’t be the only way to apply shareholder credit.  Look at the uproar with the medallion app from people without smartphones which caused Princess to create a web version.  Not everyone uses apps.

This is what I get every time I try and load it. Yes restarted, updated and followed the prompts on this message as well. Glad to hear that the web version is good enough. Surprised I am the only one! I have installed many apps since. Have over half my memory left as well!

Did you try the link to the “common ways to fix the problem”? What happened then?

Hi everyone, first time traveler, so apologize if this is already answered (cant see to find anything on this particular subject)

This question is regarding the casual dining with premier package. Wife and I have the package, but our kids doesn't (2 and 4 yr old). Since we have unlimited casual dining, will they charge for the kids if they tag along with us; even if they dont eat (well they will probably nibble some of our food).

 

Attached is a pdf for the princess dining options.  Note that for specialty dining it says there will be a charge for certain ages and a surcharge for some items regardless of age.  It does not have this verbiage for the casual restaurants.

The Lavazza has no price on the web site. Ask on board about trading the mini bar out for the 15 coffees loaded onto your account. 
 

A fullmenu of espresso-based selections are available on board and can be customized to suit 

There is no price because each specialty coffee has its own cost.  Specialty coffee is included free only with the plus, premier, or zero alcohol packages. See the T&C’s (one link is attached) that state “cannot be used for minibar items”.  The stand alone coffee package with 15 coffees that previously could be a mini bar trade has been discontinued as stated in previous posts.

Hello all,

 

We've purchased internet for 1 device on our upcoming cruise on the Caribbean Princess. I'll use my iPhone for the week but occasionally in our room my wife would like to hop on Facebook for a few minutes each morning. I've created a hotspot on my phone in the past and let her use that to connect to the internet from her laptop - any issues doing this on the ship? Anyone do this in the past?

 

tks in advance

You cannot hotspot an iPhone using just wifi.  You can only do it using cellular service which you don’t want to do on the ship. $$$

It never ceases to amaze me how one can ask a specific question and then get answers that do not really pertain to the actual question. Is there anyone out there that could possibly give me a correct answer to my question? If you do not have a correct answer don't bother replying just to add to your number of post's. To quote a person who is quite often in the news come on man or ladies.😉😁

Princess does not list a hotel in Boston on their website.  This is the first time I’m hearing that Boston is an embarkation port.  I’ll need to check that out.

I have seen a chart of all the SD locales with cost and the amount of gratuity baked in.  The percentage varies a little bit.  Cannot recall where exactly.  I think CG and Sabi's were 17%.  I think it was accessible under Food & Dining page, but I don't see it any longer.  

 

(I also notice PCL has removed the old DineMyWay info with a link to document and FAQ's.  It was in there that they explained DMW and also that guest could still have TD experience).

It’s in the FAQ’s under service charge.

Prior to my last cruise this past August, I could always link to EZ Air to get an estimate of airfares and schedules for whichever cruise I was considering. Apparently that option is no longer available while reviewing a given cruise and trying to get an estimate of the cruise fare plus air.  A PCL phone agent just now informed me that I now must "book" a cruise by paying the deposit in order to link to EZ Air to view their options. I also recall that I could place on a 24- or 36-hour "hold" any cruise I was considering, which also allowed me to check EZ Air for airfares and schedules. What are others doing about this option, especially when considering more than one cruise alternative? I hate to think I have to pay a deposit for each cruise I consider, then request a refund if I decide to consider another cruise, for which I then pay another deposit and ask for a refund again until I find one that meets my desire.

 

I do not have a cruise booked and was able to access the flight quotes for a couple of selected examples except for a cruise that was further than 300 (some 330) days out.  If your cruise is more than that, pick a cruise that has the same itinerary that is less than 300 days and see flights available. Of course things could change but you’ll have an idea of what might be available for your cruise.  Flights have never been available to book before that window even if you’ve made a deposit.

With our Kaiser advantage plan we don’t have to do anything directly with medicare.  Kaiser is the only point of contact.  Great that you have other coverage though.

I'm still dealing with Medicare....60 plus days later and waiting.

 

Were you in US waters?  I was in Canada...and hopeful that my Secondary will pick up the charges.  If not 100%, then AON will reimburse the rest.

 

Already received a check from AON for isolation.  Medical Center costs is minimal to isolation reimbursement.  So willing to wait this out.  Medical was paid with non-refundable OBC so win-win.

Note that Hobbes67 said “Medicare advantage”.  Those plans have different coverage for travel than just Medicare alone.

reedprincess,

Yes we are US citizens.  Going to Mexico, Aruba, Antigua, Curacao, and Tortola.  

 

Thanks for the info.

I believe Antigua has the 6 month rule. Check the international travel “learn about your destination” tab at travel.state.gov website.

Are you going to Australia?  I seem to remember somewhere that Plus is $65 in AUD without grats.  I may be wrong on this.

You can always testing anything by logging out of MedallionNet - even though you have the service as part of Plus/Premier package.

I know I could have but why bother. I’ll leave that to people who don’t want paid internet.

So they can block WhatsApp and iMessage from connecting from using those ports without a package but continue to work with a package

🤐🤫

I too have been able to use iMSG without the paid internet however it was pre covid.  All my cruises since I have had the plus package so have not tested that this is still possible.  Princess may have closed whatever “thingamajiggy” that was open before.

Delete

You have to rebook.  The Princess land/sea tours are one package and are priced accordingly.  They cannot be booked separately.  Please refer to your previous thread.

Does it even matter what the countries policies are?  Princesses policy is 6 months from the end of the cruise period…or you don’t sail. One policy no matter where they go.

If you look at the post just before yours the OP shows a copy of what they received.  It says $40/person so total is $80.

So it seems then he was charged $80 more than he should have been not the $44 he is trying to point out to Princess. The reduction in taxes should not be a factor as it’s the fare increase that reflects his bid and he may get further with Princess if he shows that he was double charged the bid.
