  1. yes I am using safari on the iPad. Logins were disabled through the night and then re-enabled a couple of hours ago. It looks like they are disabled again.
  2. I have the issue when on my iPad in England. When on windows Laptop it works fine.
  3. It is not fixed. I can log in again and can see other people’s data in my booking.
  4. Which ship are you referring to. On most ships decks 9-11 are all cabins and no eatery.
  5. I am waiting for these also as I want a b2b added to the TA I already booked (hopefully in same cabin). Since the Caribbean cruises do not really start until October or November, I am assuming it will be at least September and possibly October/November before they are released. They are just releasing the Alaska 2026 cruises which I think are June - August.
  6. We have found this on several cruises on the most popular excursions. When I asked on board about it they explained that the wait list has a limit. So if an excursion is sold out, initially you can waitlist, but when that fills, you can no longer join the waitlist. If you keep checking, someone may cancel or leave the waitlist and you can join it. We have been successful in getting on an excursion by checking daily to join the waitlist.
  7. I wish princess would have a separate smoking and non smoking casino. On our last Sky Princess cruise I could not even sit at Good Spirits due to the smoke from the casino. They should have the main casino smoke free and a small casino with closed doors for smoking. I love to use the slot machines, but cannot on most ships due to my asthma with the smoke.
  8. I wonder if it is good for 2025 Sky Princess. Purchased several excursions for our April med cruise last week. I will keep an eye out
  9. The only negative I see is loosing out of some stock OBC. You will get $100 for each segment instead of $250 for a 14 day cruise. I doubt $50 will make a huge difference.
  10. What happens if you never turn on your TV and avoid the app and most technology while on the cruise? The only time we turned on the TV on our last cruise was for the safety video when we boarded. Will someone come and tell you? We tend not to go to a most of the events so would also miss the presentation unless we were explicitly told we should be there?
  11. I cannot find it now, but I thought that I read the suite bonus is not doubled which would mean your 3 credits would actually double to 5 not 6. I have looked and cannot find it so hopefully I am incorrect., before spending a lot of money on this plan, please make certain the solo and suite cruise credits are also doubled as Princess is good at interpreting things to suit themselves and saying that the cruise credit is always 1 and the solo and suite extras are bonuses and not actually cruise credits. hopefully someone will tell me I am wrong and did not see this.
  12. I think it should be 1 for every 5 days or partial 5 days so 1-5 days =1, 6-10=2, 11-15=3, and so on. This would be more fair for longer cruises and make it worthwhile. Possibly have very short cruises (under 4 days) as 0. I doubt princess will do this, but wish they would.
  13. We have just booked the Sky suite for next April and also have added plus. We can easily get drinks in our room or in the concierge lounge, but we also enjoy sitting out at a bar and having a cocktail before dinner and having wine with dinner. It would probably be cheaper for us to pay as you go but we like having all inclusive so that everything is pre paid and there will not be a massive bill at the end of the cruise. It also means reviewing our folio is easier since there will be very few extra charges. If your cruising style is to drink in your room and the concierge lounge and limit what you are drinking at meals and at the various bars then no need for plus or premier.
  14. I would say absolute minimum of 90 minutes travel between Southampton and Heathrow. I would plan on 2 hours to allow for some traffic - 2.5 hours to be safe. Private transfer is best since it if there is an accident/issue, a smaller vehicle can go back routes to get there. we live about half way between the 2 (a bit closer to Southampton than Heathrow).
  15. someone in a suite might like the traditional shared table dining so that does make sense. I guess it was too difficult for Princess IT to exclude the reservable option.
  16. thank you, that is what we were hoping for. I would love the UBD, but would need it customised for DH to be happy. Although the UBB sounds nice, we love the Sabitinis suite breakfast. We also are not interested in storing much food in the refrigerator for later eating as there is already a lot of food around to eat. I love cold water so having 2 refrigerators will be lovely.
  17. That is a shame. I wonder if the SEM could swap the free UBD for a Crown Grill meal delivered to the Sky Suite instead. Even if all served at one time that would be preferable to the massive amount of food delivered with UBD. Last time we had it, there was so much food it put us off eating anything.
  18. Thank you everyone for the feedback. Although included in our suite, we will probably skip the UBB. We do really love sabitinis suite breakfast and will keep with that. Now I just need to convince DH to have the UBD as it is also included for free. As long as we can change the food to reduce the volume, it hopefully will work. Last time we had tried it was in a mini suite so much smaller balcony. It would be a shame to not have it on the huge balcony.
  19. We hate wasting food. I know there is already a lot of food wastage on board ship, but we would prefer not to contribute more than necessary.
  20. We are cruising in a full suite (the Sky suite) so will have access to Sabitinis breakfast which we love from a precious penthouse suite cruise. We also will get a free ultimate balcony breakfast if we want it. Does anyone have any feedback on how good the balcony breakfast is? We did try the UBD for dinner once an unfortunately DH did not really like it. I think it was the combination of too much food (we hate wasted food) and feeling a bit self conscious with the personalized service. It the UBD breakfast better than Sabitinis?
  21. Refresh the page in your browser and it will show up. I think it is a bug.
  22. Okay, we just had a crazy moment and booked a new cruise and decided to splurge on the sky suite for next April on the Sky Princess. Does anyone know if they have restarted the ultimate ships tours yet and if this is something we could book in advance via the shoreside consierge?
  23. Are you past final payment date yet? A lot of cabins open up after final payment is due so if you are not there yet then keep hoping.
  24. We went once and felt like it was an assembly line tea service. Very rushed and any deviation from standard fare threw the assembly line off track. But with living in the UK and having a nice afternoon tea a couple of times a year, our standards are very high.
  25. It is a stairwell. I believed used only by the crew, but probably also an emergency exit. We stayed in one of those suites about 8 years ago and never heard any sounds from the stairs.
