I submitted a photo of my Charles Schwab letter and two days later got confirmation of acceptance. I then put in my booking number, I got an automatic response that usually you have to apply four weeks before a cruise but they will try and I should hear back in five days. My cruise is in 11 days

When you board the Discovery, where do you go to make specialty dining reservations? Or do you call from your cabin?

Slightly off topic but related - how easy is it to get reservations at popular specialty reservations once on the ship if there are no more available on the app?

I"m new to Princess. I'm taking a four night cruise on the Discovery Princess later this month. After doing some research I want to upgrade from plus to premier and dine in the specialty restaurants at night. The only online reservations are for Sabbatinis. What is the chances that I would be able to get a reservation on board for The Cactch and the Crown Grill?

Thank you for the info. She has sent off an email and will follow up again on Monday.

My sister has taken several Cunard cruises. She booked them through my U.S travel agent. She usually gets her Gold benefits. This time she booked with a UK agent since she lives in the Uk. Cunard issued her a new world club number and that's what's on all her paperwork and boarding pass. She called them (UK office) to tell them she's not a new member and she has a world club account already. They told her nothing can be done to "marry her bookings" and that she will remain as a new member and won't get any benefits on our upcoming cruise this month on the Queen Victoria. Need some advice please

Oh he has quite the sock collection! He will be chuffed you noticed 🙂

Hi Keith I checked the date and we were on June 13th to 19th approximately. I also randomly remember when we were docked in Seattle I was talking to Phil on the pool deck about his wife being pregnant and he was looking forward to the new baby

My trip from hell was on one of the Seabourn little sisters. We were crossing the Bay of Lyon I think, and the ship was tossing in high seas. The dining room was closed and you could only get room service. If you lay perfectly still you could temper the sea sickness but if you needed to get up to use the bathroom oh, how your stomach rolled, not to mention the floor pitching. In the cabin across the hall from us the high seas busted in the cabin window. The water poured in and ruined a lot of the belongings of the cabin occupants, not to mention scaring the holy heck out of them. They had to bring industrial fans for the hall carpets and run them constantly. The main door for the ship also got damaged and we had to limp into dry dock in Lisbon.

Well if Kathy and Muriel are on it I might just have to sign up too!

That's great to hear. Time to back and look at itineraries 🙂

The biggest surprise for me was not a good one. New Crystal is only allowing triple occupancy in Sapphire level suites and above. We have a kid who loves Crystal. Not willing to shell out the bucks for a large suite while new Crystal is unknown. I refunded my advance deposits since I'm not booking anything on Crystal any time soon.

Yep Muriel. It never occurred to me that they wouldn't allow triples except in the largest suites. Back to the drawing board 😞

My TA let me know that Crystal is not designating any cabins as triple cabins below sapphire suites. Not even in Acquamarine suites

I don't see an itinerary for Serenity on Dec 23rd 2023?

I won't be on either of the inaugral cruises due to timing, but I'm really looking forward to on board trip reports.

Does the deposit have an expiration date? Never mind, I just read upstream, you have to book cruises within ninety days to get the obc.

Thanks for all this great info. Does anyone have any updates on the teen zone?

Is there "open seating" at late sitting? I want to dine with companions who booked through a different travel agent. I'm wondering if I need to bother trying to link the bookings.

Does the Queen Victoria have "open seating" for late seating too?

Oh no! Are they still out of business? Hoping they have resurrected themselves....
