No, he is from Ericiera. About an hour north of Lisbon. There was another Rui from Porto that retired 6/7 yrs ago. -

LACruiser88 replied to Coral's topic in Princess Cruises
Our TA does refares thru her Polar system, does not have to call Princess. I'm not sure how all of that works but she accomplished both refares during the 5 minutes I was on the phone with her (via Whatsapp, as we are currently onboard the Emerald). -

Usually I get the numbers from the Loyalty/Events Host or the HGM if I know them. -

Today we checked fares on two of our 2024 cruises. On the April 10th, Majestic sailing our fare went down $1,200 pp (we lost $150 OBC). Our October 19th, Coral sailing our fare went down $400 pp. Our TA was able to re-fare both existing bookings. Score! 🙂 -

Funny story from today as I was riding the elevator with our 8 yr old granddaughter with 4 other passengers. A lady with a Gold Medallion had the following conversation with our granddaughter: Lady- "Are you having fun?" GD- "Yes" Lady- "Is this your first cruise?" GD- "No, I'm Platinum" She said that while holding up her wristband with her Platinum Medallion. Everyone in the elevator gasped. I thought it was really hilarious. Btw, there has been no difference in weather sailing out of LA during the summer, it has been chilly and cloudy all day.- 514 replies

Sounds like you need a new TA. Our TA is extremely honest and worth her weight in gold!

Leo is really good. We have sailed with him several times and took him to lunch last year in Mazatlan. He has some really good stories! -

I'll let you know if they repeat, usually they do repeat some of the menu's. -
The Carlos that was promoted to F&B Director is Carlos Justina. His last contract was on the Discovery and is currently at home. Justina has been slated to be the F&B Director for the new Sun Princess. Our current DRO, Carlos Marques, was just promoted to DRO and just came over from the Sapphire where he was Mario Propato's assistant (Lido Manager).

The numbers are ok, but not great. I did stream Netflix while on the elliptical this morning with no issues. Also, no issues with email or internet browsing. -

This morning we have overcast skies, a little drizzle here and there, and light choppy seas. Hopefully, it clears up later. Temperature is not bad, folks are already claiming lounges by the pool. I was in the Fitness Center at 7:45 and secured the last remaining elliptical machine. This morning, I also spoke to YouTuber's ParoDeeJay, very nice people. The Botticelli MDR was quite busy last night. Dinner was good and we are very happy with our servers. -

We are sitting in Vines right now and "Buzz" (Aldrin's nickname) says hello. We've known him for a long time. Thank you for the dinner info. We just met with Carlos, the new DRO, in Vines and Rui arranged a set table for us in Botticelli MDR at 7:00 before leaving. -
