the one I purchased has a clip on the necklace part and it hooks on the medallion at the top

If you read the offer small print, I believe that you get the free mini suite, princess plus, but not the free play for 2nd or 3rd cruise booked. Most offers are "up to three cruises" - but only one time for the free play. quote from one of my offers: " Casino free play applies to a single new booking"

I was able to pick my seats for one way on our cruise (AA) but on the return flight I had to wait until tickets were paid for by EZAIR which is about 45 days before the cruise. At that point I went to AA and picked my seats - did not go through EZAIR. I would check with EZAir about buying through them, and upgrading directly with airline once the tickets have been paid for by EZair

suggestion: do a flight quote on the princess website for the cruise you are booking. See the price - go to your airline and compare if you went directly through them If Ezair is a big savings - book Ezair and then see if you can use your credit with the airline to upgrade to better seats - ie. economy to Business class don't know if they will allow it, but you could ask

my son gave me his I phone, which does not work because it is old' I-phone 6 S or higher works (i have 6 not 6 S

We did our first cruise with Celebrity and continued until we decided not to fly to locations and stick close to the home port of San Pedro (L.A.) if you look at my signature you can see the cruises we have taken. Celebrity cost more, but the balony cabins are larger and all have sofas, where Princess has a chair and desk (unless you get a deluxe Balcony I think everything else is pretty much equal I would base any cruise on the places to visit and the cost.

use the hop on hop off buses. Most of the Baltic stops have them and you can go pretty much everywhere

I have and I will

It seems that your questions was ignored by some of the people that posted. Please ignore those that wish to belittle others. taking food back to your cabin is allowed and suggestions for covering your food is just that, a suggestion. I take food back to my cabin, I cover my food, and I wear a mask - if you don't or if others don't , then don't.

There have been times we have gone to the buffet to get lunch and there was no seating available. Our next cruise our cabin is on the same deck as the buffet and I would prefer to get my food and go back to my cabin if seating is not available. We also go to the international coffee, get coffee and a donut, or breakfast sandwich, again taking back to cabin is a nice option and don't want other people breathing on and passing germs on my food.

If you don't have to fly take the cheapest one

picked up a food cover at the dollar store (now $1.25 store). it is hard plastic that covers the plate.

what deck and cabin ??

I have found that the flight costs are the same flying within the U.S. Flying internationally Ezair is a better price.

We have done a slot tournament on Celebrity and on Princess. They both worked the same, so I am assuming that Holland will do it about the same. Assume 200 people invited. Each round is 10 players They have a certain number of machines set aside to do the tournament. You are in groups and they do a draw to give you a machine. The time is set and you hit the button as fast as you can to get the "winning" money - on some you have ballons or some other items that float across the screen and with your other hand you touch those items to get more "money". At the end of the time - say 3 minutes, the scores of each machine are recorded. At the end of the first round they cut the lowest scores and say the next 50 more to the next round (or more depending on total number that started). It continues until the final round and the highest score wins They drag it out over a few days. The first round is day one, then next round day two or three, etc Nice for the final winner and the rest get casino play money

Pre covid cruise our first with Princess was a 28 day out of San Pedro (LA) to Tahiti and back. We got to the port and stood in line with others to give our luggage to the porter. The couple in front of us were French - spoke little english, but were digging in their pockets for money, which they tried to give to the porter - it was Euro coins, and the porter yelled at them. I yelled at him to leave them alone and told them to ignore him. He pulled a wad of money out of this pocket and said he didn't need their quarters, he had plenty of money. I refused to give him our bags and reported him. Tipping is optional Tipping is based on service proved Tippping is at your discretion Tipping is not manatory If you get tips be thankful for whatever you get. end of story

This is info on American Airlines. We booked business class for flights on our up coming B2B. We are flying SNA (John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, California) to La Guardia for the start of our NYC 10 days cruise that ends in Quebec City and then returning Quebec City to NYC. We fly home from JFK to SNA. We had to book the cruises separate and had to book the flights as one way for each cruise. When we booked the first flight I was allowed to pick my seats then with the EZair rep (this was 8 - 9 months in advance of the flight. no charge When we booked the return flight, it would not allow me to pick our seats. So I waited and checked each month and then last week, (about 45 days before the flight) I was able to pick our seats. No charge Checking out the prices: going economy seating - we would have to pay extra for luggage - going for 20 days on the cruise and we knew we would have 3 to four pieces of luggage - and you pay for carry on - also pay for seat selection and then if we wanted to get better seating. We bit the bullet and booked business class - no extra charges and better seating At the time I booked and paid the same day with Ezair we paid $1900 for two for the round trip air fare. currently when I do a mock booking, the same flights would cost us $5,800 + and regular economy for two is $1900+ with out the extra charges for luggage, etc. We have avoided flying in the past for cruises, but last year we decided to do this cruise and decided to make sure we were comfortable coming and going. This will probably be our last flying to cruise, unless it is flying only on the west coast (out of southern california to alaska or vancouver).

happy you got it "all" refunded, even if it is FCC. Nice to know. We leave for our cruise in 26 days and if something happens with our flights and we miss the boat - nice to know that they do come throught

when you gamble on board, you use your medallion to active your account on the machine. You create a pin number and every time you sit at the machine you put in how much you want to gamble on that machine. The money is charged to your room. If you leave that machine, any monies left on the account is put back on your "bank". Go to the next machine and play with the "bank money" your money charged to your cabin can be offset by your OBC. Dont bother putting more OBC on your cabin. Wait until you are on board and then charge everything to cabin.

we are on a 10 day cruise with no beverage package, so I ordered two water packages. I also bring on the powder gatorade mix and lemonade mix. When we have the beverage package we also bring a bottle water back to the cabin in the evening.

in 2019 when we took our grandkids: two groups, 3 - 6 years and 6 - 12, and then they had a teen area. The younger kids had to be signed in and out everytime. they were open in the morning and again in the afternoon (sea days). You had to sign them up for days that the ship was in port. Our granddaughters liked it and went every day

Our flight was out of Orange County, Ca left at 9:05 a, got to SF airport around 10:30, we sat on runway waiting for a gate to open up for 30 minutes. Got to gate around 11:00 and got to the port around 12:00. I figured there would be a line, due to past reviews, but we were lucky that the weather was beatiful and not too bad waiting outside. Once we got on board, we were too late to get lunch in the MDR by 2 minutes. - closes at 1:00p for lunch They really need to get more people checking everyone in.

we flew in the morning of the cruise, and did the Princess transportation. I think we paid $39 each. We got off the plane, headed for the baggage area, there was a Princess person with a sign at the bottom of the stairs in the baggage area. She told us to get our bags and go to the exit area and find the next Princess host. We found her and she directed us to the bus and we boarded. It was a 40 minute bus ride to port. The dropped us off at the parking lot, told us to leave the bags at the bus and they would have them delivered to the ship and we got in line outside. (took an hour) to get inside the building.

have your passport your covid card shot record your arriv can - you can print it out or email it to yourself copies of your travel summary from the princess website I have printed copies of everythnig just incase I also make copies of drivers license, medical cards etc.
