Once again why don’t frequent cruisers on Princess use CVP’s ? They can take care of these things

How are "PLUS" package purchases accounted for?
memoak replied to CenTexan's topic in Princess Cruises
You can find juices on all ships it just may not be a stand alone venue. I believe in some ships it is at the lido deck ice cream bar but don’t quote me on that -
Most of our cruises are long with maybe 8 or more sea days. We need the internet to access our investments, news (most of the tv news on ship are biased one way or the other, email to check in on friends and family and as sports fans we need to be able to get premier league scores
-
If you struggle to make the plus package work for you then it is probably a service not designed for you. We will drink coffees, waters and a minimum of 6-8 alcoholic drinks a day each. It is designed for us
-
The card you get from either guest services or the concierge desk states that the luggage service is a gratuity based service

It pays to get the platinum princess insurance
memoak replied to Knickearth's topic in Princess Cruises
On a last minute cancellation you may be out $10,000 +. No one really wants to risk that -
The only time I get free drinks in the casino on Princess cruises is during VIP cruises otherwise it is either pay or have a package. NCL is not alone in this

It pays to get the platinum princess insurance
memoak replied to Knickearth's topic in Princess Cruises
When we were young we thought we were invincible and didn’t take any insurance. We just got reimbursed for medical stuff after we got home. Now that we are older we take the insurance -
I believe it depends on how many ships are in. Last October there were 2 ships boarding and they used 2 upstairs conference rooms and had kiosks. This month we were the only ship and it was downstairs. We actually had to ask at guest services at the hotel to find out
-
When we checked in to the hotel. This was a quote from guest services
-
With one ship in port earlier this month check in was downstairs and there were no customs kiosks you saw an actual officer. We checked in just before 2 I believe and total check in time was about 15 minutes
-
We are still getting free play around $250-$400 and free cabins but that is less than we were getting a year ago

What can my 18 year old do on board Princess in Alaska?
memoak replied to darnheather's topic in Princess Cruises
I fail to see what any of this post has to do with an 18 year old. I do believe the can go to all the lounges for music and hang out with other young people. There are always some people in her age range -
Now that Canadians can have medallions shipped the blue land should be much shorter

What can my 18 year old do on board Princess in Alaska?
memoak replied to darnheather's topic in Princess Cruises
Why can’t she smoke cigarettes ? I have never seen anyone carded for smoking. She cant buy alcohol but if you have some in your cabin it would be up to you if she drinks it or not -
It depends on the time of year. If you are traveling during the Alaskan season it will be very high. April not so bad
-
We usually give a $20 tip. They will tell you to tip st least $3-$5 per bag

We just boarded in Vancouver about 10 days ago. We had a meal on shore and went to check in around 2:00. Very short line check in and customs took no more than 30 minutes. We have found that boarding later avoids all the crazy crowds who just have to be the first group on board

Dine My Way & all new Dining questions since cruising restart!!
memoak replied to Host CJSKIDS's topic in Princess Cruises
That may be the case now but when we started cruising in the 1990’s there was no option. Everything was TD and there were no 2 tops for dinner. You chose the size of table and early or late sitting. If I remember right the choice was 6 or 8 tables -
I live in Portland Oregon and I have not owned a tie since I retired. Most of the weddings here are casual affairs after outside in Nature
-
No that is the one and only ship I avoid if at all possible
-
My dress does not change during formal night. Nice pants and button down shirt. I am done with carrying around a sports coat and I do not own a tie anymore
-
Different things on different ships. Las 2 on the crown no tokens needed to wash dry just for product. Now on the Ruby and tokens needed for everything
-
Is there any need to buy Plus or Premium package before boarding?
memoak replied to Mississippian's topic in Princess Cruises
You can buy a package within 10 minutes of boarding and it will be billed to your cruise account -
You can buy it when you board it will be charged to your cruise account and any OBC you have will be used and any amount not covered will be on your cruise account
