Don't see it on the webcam or on the marine traffic map.

When did HAL get webcams?

BBQ nights at the pool!

Do it,no time limit!

I didn't realize that this was offered on the app so I tried it today and it took 5 minutes to complete.

That is what I do all the time.  The Barclays website has an entire section on the rewards.  Note that points expire.  They always list how many days certain charged entries expire. And you can click on any of them to see the dollar value of those points.  I charged our 2019 WC and got a $4000 statement credit!  

Just checked the Barclay site and it states that points do not expire as long as the account is current and in good standing.

We booked numerous excursions last week and they were all deducted from our OBC.

We were on the cruise before you,with you and after you for a total of 35 nights.The OBC from the internet issues was refundable and both my wife and I got the credit.I went to the passenger services desk and they verified that it was refundable.Regarding the staff at the buffet entrances,there was never one time that we were not reminded to wash our hands.It became very annoying when you are standing over the sink while being reminded to wash your hands!I think the buffet was the best I can remember with the selection being years ahead of the MDR.

Before you switch, I’ve read the balconies for the mini suites are small compared to aft balconies, depends what you want.

Depends on which ship.Some minis have huge balconies.

Gone since Covid began!

Very poor on many levels- if you paid cash for the service you should get a cash refund not OBC!

The internet refund is refundable if the OBC is not used on board.

On the more recent Royal Class ships (Enchanted Princess and Sky Princess), Alfredo's has been renamed to Gigi's with the same menu as Alfredo's.

It is Alfredo’s on Sky not Gigi’s.

I'm doing my first back to back (go me!).  Anyhow, I have almost enough in onboard to cover my grats, coffee card and internet on the first voyage (I'll be $8 short), but have LOTS of onboard for my second voyage.  Will the folio carry over for #2, or will I have to pay the balance and start over?  

 

We want to take advantage of the specialty dining on the first night for the bottle of wine, since we only have princess plus on the second leg.  Don't get me wrong, I'll pay the extra, but if I don't have to and it'll carry over...Well, you understand.  

 

So, will I be paying or using the onboard from the second cruise?  

 

Thanks so much!

It will carry over for both cruises.We are currently on Sky on the second leg of a btbtb and everything from the first cruise carried over.

We are currently in a mini on Sky and we do have the clothes line.

Good stuff to know. One last question; was this pre-pandemic or have you had similar experiences since 2020?

 

The only cruises we've done since cruising resumed have been out of San Pedro so we have no flights to catch, therefore we've stayed on the ship as long as possible.

These were all pre-pandemic.We did take 3 cruises last November but the only non-stop flights home were later in the morning.We only do the early walk offs when there is an earlier nonstop and we don't want to sit in the airport all day.

I am curious what cruise line this was with, how early you docked and what time you actually walked off the ship? Didn't you have to go through Immigration & Customs?

It was with both Princess and HAL and we both have Global Entry Cards so we go through a special line at Customs where there is usually nobody in the line.We are usually lined up by 6:15 off by 6:30.We also live in Chicago and SWA has numerous flights and we can always take a later flight if we are late but that has never happened.

I have done it numerous times.We walk off as soon as we can and have been sitting in the terminal as early as 7:00AM,

I emailed our request on 2/7 and had no response as of yesterday 2/14 so I called and the credit was posted while I was on the phone.The call took 5 minutes.

If you don't see the MedallionNet under Ocean Ready, then you may have to download the latest version of the app. For weeks, I had trouble making dinner reservations and the MedallionNet didn't appear under Ocean Ready on the app. So, I uninstalled the app and downloaded an updated version. In the newer version of the app I successfully made dinner reservations without an error message appearing, and the MedallionNet appeared under Ocean Ready. 

Thanks,I found it.Any idea where I go to reserve specialty restaurants?

Update:

I tried purchasing the Medallion Net (Internet) again on the Medallion app, and this time my purchase went through. My credit card was successfully charged. 

I don’t see anywhere on the app to purchase WiFi or specialty dining.Can anyone help?

Be very careful when making any changes to your booking like cancel and rebook,refare or change of cabin as Princess has removed our shareholders credit numerous times.I keep the original email request and resend it when this happens.

We will be with you on the cruise.We are 3* on HAL and Elite on Princess so you can ask us any questions,if you care to.I can give you quite a few Princess tips.We are also on the 12 night cruise after the crossing,all in L104 which has the greatest view on the ship.
