I have Medicare Advantage plan through a health provider and they do reimburse me for medical expenses. They even covered the Paxlovid I received on the cruise

I have had CC dining 4 times in 2022 and on all they had an extra entree some of which were tremendous

Did you book or pay for it ? Excursions not paid for will go away. They should show confirmed not booked if you have paid for them

We escalated these things through our CVP and had all of our monies back for FCC’s and hotel and food within a few months

Takes 2 minutes on my phone. Also when they saw a different cabin on their luggage tags why didn’t that set off bells. Something here doesn’t ring true

Specialty restaurants are always casual for every night

Try having it made with just a touch of vermouth. Like put a tiny amount in the glass swish around and dump out. You get just a hint of vermouth flavor not the medicinal taste. Every cruise I have to “educate” bartenders. Also stirred not shaken keeps the ice shards to a minimum and our course up not on the rocks

And my go to for a Manhattan is Buffalo Trace, Bulliet number 2

If you use aTA all info usually goes through them not directly to the passenger.

If your receipt is from your TA that is the person you have an issue with. What did your medallion app from Princess say ? If the info from the TA and Princess do not agree it sounds like your TA screwed up and what was the assigned cabin exactly

So you had a travel summary that you printed out and brought with you that showed your cabin assignment ? Or did you book a guaranteed balcony ?

No cruise line ever tells passengers about large groups. However if you google your ship and date you can usually find out about them on your own

As long as the jeans aren’t full of holes there isn’t an issue. I bring jeans and one pair of slacks no ties. In fact I no longer own any ties. Here in Portland everything is casual

Or they keep asking the same question over and over again trying to get the answer they want. Also see this a lot when it comes to covid testing for unvaccinated passengers when the Princess website has a tool to see exactly what is required for your individual cruise

I wear jeans on all casual nights. I only put on slacks and a sports coat for formal nights

You can hit the tap anytime you want when the casino is open but it will be $25 per tap. You can’t get any package by the day

Or any 7 day Alaska cruise.

If anyone could pay for CC how do you handle the amount of people and keep the ambiance and service you will need to increase staffing and size of dining rooms. Then it becomes just another dining room

The CC dining area is very small and needs to stay that way to keep the exclusive feeling. Plus the extra entrees, the personal service and no wait make it worthwhile for me

The $25 per tap on your door panel is only active when the casino is open.

Please explain the word “won”. All of my comped cruises have been through the casino department and cannot be handled by my CVP. I always upgrade at the time of booking and have to pay everything upfront. Did you win the cruise in a lottery or through a land based casino ?

Contracted Covid on August cruise. FCC showed up in about 3-4 weeks. Had our CVP escalate our claim for land based quarantine in Canada and received check about 2 weeks later

If that happened continually I would leave the table. It can throw an entire shoe off

On most ships club class is at the mid ship dining room on deck 6

We have used the electronic card sent out by our state health department In our phones wallets and acceptable to Princess on all 4 cruises we took last year. I also have it in writing from Princess. The original cards are flimsy and easily lost or destroyed. The bigger issue being asked by the OP is about unvaccinated passengers. Those rules will change cruise to cruise and could change at a moments notice. There are people who will not vaccinate and do not want to take tests. On cruises with certain ports they will have a major problem
