  1. Is it possible on Princess to keep in touch with fellow passengers while your cell phone is in airplane mode?  Seems like several years ago, I heard they started a new text like system.  Has anyone used this lately, and if so, how does it work?

     

    Thank you!

  2. No problem. The passengers I helped out the most had no idea how to even get to their airline web page. Most were elderly folks and veterans. One man even brought his grandson with him. I could have gotten drunk sitting there as people were offering me drinks. I declined except for one lady brought me a glass of water. I enjoyed doing it for those people, and I would do it again if given the chance....and I have done it in the past.

     

    THANK YOU! I read this after my last post, but the rude comments did not come from you, they were from other posters. I understand perfectly now.

  3. Airline boarding passes is what I was printing out for people. If people were already on the ship, why would I be printing out boarding passes to get on the ship in the internet cafe?

     

     

    Exactly. THat is why I was confused. PRincess calls them Boarding Passes which you have to print out before you get on the ship. My airline calls them TICKETS, not boarding passes so my confusion was not meant to start anything, it was innocent confusion. Don't know why people got so bent out of shape over an innocent comment.also confusion as to why people wait to print airline TICKETS on the ship. TICKETS can be electronically sent to your phone.

  4. On the ship, printing boarding passes for other people as they couldn't get online indicates airline boarding passes mate. Since ship boarding passes are rarely called "boarding passes" - it's a setsail pass or water - it's easy enough to deduce the poster was printing Irvine boarding passes, especially as they note they were ON the ship, and had bought ships Internet. Obviously they had what was needed to board the ship, only boarding passes left are airline...

     

    When I originally posted thAt I was confused' I in NO way meant it as a smart alec remark, although the replies were in that tone. When I log onto "MY PRINCESS" for booked guests for my upcoming cruise, it instructs me to PRINT BOARDING PASS and then print luggage tags, so they definitely ARE called boarding passes. I had no option to get them electronically sent to my phone as I do my airline "tickets". SO I hope that this clears up your confusion mate.

  5. I don't understand where you are confused. I said I'd take Princess Internet any day over Carnival. We were recently on the Carnival Legend whose internet sucked. Princess is much faster, and there's an internet manager available on Princess. Only comparing the two. Where did the boarding pass in your mind come into being? I'm confused too!:eek:

     

    You said you were ON the ship IN the Internet cafe PRINTING BOArding PASSES for everybody. IF you didn't have your boarding pass printed, how did you get ON the ship???

  6. I'll take Princess internet any day over Carnival. I happened to be on the only working computer on the Carnival Legend. I paid $25 for as much use I could get out of a 24/hr period. It was Memorial Day and I printed out our boarding pass. All the other computers had a blank screen or no one was getting anywhere in printing out their boarding passes. So, I sat there for 3-4 hours printing out passengers boarding passes. I saved the passengers $$$ and I looked at it as doing community service for the day since Carnival wasn't willing to fix the problem. Princess at least has crew at the Internet Cafe to help people out.

     

    I'm confused and curious. How did you get on the ship to get to the Internet Cafe without having the boarding pass?

  7. My grandson (early 20s) wanted to do the off road dune buggy excursion in Skagway. The excursion through Princess is booked full. Does anyone know if there is an outside vendor with this type of excursion? OR can you suggest another excursion he might enjoy?

     

    THank you.

  8. Our cruise leaves Seattle on July 9, 2016. When is the best time to book excursions and what excursions are recommended on 7 day cruise day cruise?

     

    Thank you for your suggestions and recommendations.

  9. Thinking about Alaska cruise for next July. Which is better the Crown or Ruby Princess? Crown cruises Glacier Bay and Ruby cruises Twin Sawyer Glaciers. Also which is the better ship?

     

    Thanks for you comments.
