10:30/11:00 is the norm for the Enchanted leaving from Port Everglades. -Suites and Plat/Elite board together

The bars were removed from the casinos of the Enchanted and Sky

They will also serve scones, cream and jam in the Pastry area of the buffet on Sea Days

The point is that there are alternate routes to fulfill some of what the package provides, even for new cruisers.

All of this plus throw in Shareholders and OBC from a FCD and it’s even less likely a pkg is needed.

You can also bring with you a reusable cup. It makes it easier to carry drinks from the buffet and not be concerned about the expense. Especially useful for Hot Drinks in an Alaska sailing.

You can bring one. It’s also possible to ask but that took a day to actually receive the last time I asked and it needed to be returned ASAP

Approx £ 170-270 depending on type of car for Uber £300 for a taxi

Yes. Some are just more difficult to reach than others.

You can get a Princess Shuttle/Transfer from either Victoria Coach Station or the airport. You can book it online under Flights or Travel.

Understood. For me I travel often and for longer periods so the packages are not cost effective.

If you leave your cabin with a glass there is no-one to charge you, FYI

Your entire trip? Most likely not. Much of the service is as much keeping your room tidy as it is preparing for the next cruise. I would just chat about maybe only one service a day and let them know not to concern themselves with the bed.

Carnival doesn’t work. You have to get Princess gift cards (It’s not a Carnival Corp gift card just Carnival ship) Yes, you can apply them to your balance

You never said you were leaving out of Port Everglades..most likely UK so ignore my references

I carry my Moms in my bag and have never been questioned (2 bottles and 2 12 packs of sparkling water)

Sharing as you may not be aware. Princess allows you to bring one bottle of wine per person (21 and over) so that’s 2 for your team along with a 12 pack of soda or water per person ( I bring La Croix, because I’m basic 😃) There is a Walgreens/Publix close to the port if you are flying in. That helps with spending for sure and for me that means no pxg is necessary. Join your Roll Call on Cruise Critic often times people will be organizing excursions that are cheaper than the cruise line.

Yes, it zeroes out. The gift cards cancel out the debt. I’m unaware of a limit.

Double check with Princess because they have had meetings on every Princess cruise I have been on.

This is a known issue even with the old App. You can call Princess and have it sorted, Mine will change to Elite while on board but as soon as I leave the ship it goes back to blue. I have called twice and had it fixed but it always switches back to the incorrect level so not worth the hassle.

I just double checked my transfer into VCS and it still shows as correct. Just call princess and have yours switched back from the airport

Just call Princess and switch back to Victoria Coach Station

$12.50 is the Plat/Elite discount

Yes, but I’m flying from LHR to Rome after to get on the Sun for 19 days so It’s a balance. I’ll save $$$ every place I can.

Even though it was expected and I prepaid for 10 cruises, seeing the new price increase was still a bit shocking! $399.84 for an upcoming 16 day TA cruise
