for the first time we will be cruising with a portable oxygen concentrator. Do I need to inform Princess of any info in advance and how do I request an extension cord to be able to plug the concentrator in by the bed. Sorry, but it used to be so much easier with the old Cruise Personalizer. Your help would be appreciated.

Agree with all your points. Think we are still using the same TA and she is the best!

Yep - sending note to IT, then will check with my TA. Just trying to avoid having her look at so many different cruises, but oh well.

Well, tomorrow is here and no difference. Wow, seems like they might want to fix this. Why would any company want to cut themselves off from their highest paying clientele?

Yes, I am also trying to book a suite - no luck.

Trying to get a price on Alaska cruise for next summer and keep getting notice "oops something went wrong, not available right now" for all ships and a. Anyone else experiencing this?

For the first time (after 20 plus cruises) I will say the lamb chops in the main dining room - EXCELLENT! This was on Sapphire 9/24 to 10/4/22.

On Sapphire in September, cabin steward left one on our bed every evening.

We did the 28 day to Tahiti, round trip from L.A in 2011. So-o-o many sea days- LOVED IT!!!

YES - and this is exactly why we cruise. Ship could goaround in circles for a week and we would be happy!

Totally agree regarding the tuna salad, chicken salad and egg salad sandwiches. Also not available in the buffet to make our own sandwiches. Made note of this in my survey response.

"Different strokes" as the saying goes. I would agree with you regarding the buffet - just awful, but our experience in the dining room could not have been better. So much attention to detail, great recommendations and fabulous service and really good food. First time in 23 Princess cruises that the meat was cooked to perfection the first time (without sending it back).

The interior if the cabin is a different layout in the aft PH Suites than the Riviera deck PH Suites on the sides. I don't think there is a big difference in square footage though. The aft balconies are all very different. The Dolphin deck have huge balconies with about 1/3 of the space covered. The Baja deck aft suites are the next biggest with a little more than 1/2 covered. The Caribe, Aloha. Marina and Riviera are quite a bit smaller and some havelittle or no cover.

Thank you for this info - I did know his name but the other info is interesting. A very nice gentleman indeed.

We are on the Sapphire. The Head Waiter (in the Santa Fe dining room) is outstanding and has been very attentive as well.

For the first time ever (25 Princess sailings) the Dir of Restaurant Oper has stopped by every evening and occasional mornings to say Hello and ask if things were going well, etc. Is it appropriate to "tip" this position or not. We are tipping extra for other restaurants positions as the service has been over and above. Appreciate your opinions as we do not want to insult the man if this is not appropriate.

What makes things worse is Princess has been giving conflicting information - "check in and drop luggage at 93" and "go directly to 46 drop luggage and check in - if you are driving go back and park at 93 and get a shuttle back to 46". Also, the parking facility is telling people to drive directly to 46 to drop passengers and luggage. Yesterday we spoke with people that will be working in the "tents" at 46 and they still hadn't been told what the procedures would be. It was still under discussion between the port authority and Princess. Berth 93 is definitely not equipped to be able to process passengers for 2 ships from different cruise lines.

Wellness Check is now one question - have you had any Covid symptoms in the past 7 days - Yes or No. We uploaded our Vax cards months ago and did the wellness check yesterday - got the green check so we are good to go, BUT they will still ask to see the card and will probably still ask the Covid question at checkin.

It is now 1:30pm on Thursday and still no call back.

Called at 9:00am this morning and no return call yet - currently 7:45pm. I sent an email to Customer Relations a week ago and as of yet, no response. I tried the online chat - first response I knew was incorrect so tried again a day later and received a completely different response, but it was not complete but before I could type in my follow up question the"chat" dropped off. I give up!

DH has same allergy - even though we make note of it in app, we still have to speak to head waiter (and often remind him each evening) as well as the wait staff each course. Amazing how many times he has been offered a dessert that contained nuts.

Thanks. Yes, I understand but I was responding to the post that these events would not be offered until they could hire more galley crew. So, either they have more crew - or the service will not be up to standards.

We are on the Sapphire first sailing, Sept. 24th (fingers crossed) - but it is giving us the option of Balcony Dinner and Balcony Breakfast.

To each his/her own - thank goodness for options. We much prefer the Grand and Crown class ships to the Royal Class ships, so would definitely select Crown over Royal or Regal. Also, Crown is going in for a fairly lengthy drydock in October, so hopefully her propulsion issues will be fixed - "hopefully"!!!!!
