The one thing I've found with Princess that I've only found on a couple other cruise lines is they take care of veterans. They give OBC to veterans of US, UK, Can, and AUS. It's not a whole bunch, $50-$250 depending on length of cruise. So I recommend all veterans booking a princess cruise to go to the bottom of the website and click on the military benefits link.

In May they had the PSE line outside, they asked your name and looked you up to verify. We got in that line first, then they moved us to the wheelchair line when they saw DW on her scooter.

BTW, thank him for his service, and a big thank you for your putting up with a military person....I know it isn't easy for the families. And Happy veterans day.

I think a back to back of 14 days or longer gets the $250....it did on our last cruise this year. Military Benefits: Up to $250 Free Onboard Spending Money* Voyage Length Onboard Credit per Qualified Passenger** 6 days or less $50 7 - 13 days $100 14 days or longer $250

It's no big deal, we've been on a few medallion cruise's, they'll most likely retake it when you get on the ship anyway. They always retake ours every time.

I thought I read the fax option didn't work anymore. I did the email option and it still went through within a day for our 3/2025 cruise.

I see O' Malley's is on the deck plans for the Sun. I can't wait for our cruise on her to see.

We carried on two 12 packs on the last cruise, no problem.

Right there with you, been through enough of them on land, I know the ship can see them and avoid them, but still would rather not have my cruise disrupted by one.

I did download the app.......still figuring out how to use it 🤣 more trying to get us old folks using technology 🤣

I just did mine for my 2025 cruise and still used sbpcl@princesscruises.com. Did it a week or so ago and they applied it the next day.

I'm gonna take a wild stab at the meaning behind Sept and cruising, That is peak hurricane season. Some people just don't like them....lol...and I see why.

My 2 cents to new princess cruisers is if you are a US, Canadian or British veteran, be sure to look at the bottom of princesses website for military benefits. They give full details on how to claim them.

Thank you...I should have added that. But since we don't even know what ship OP is on it may not even have the IC. 🙂

Don't know which ship you are sailing on, But if it has an IC (international cafe) that is opened 24 hrs.

I for the life of me can not remember any bars that serve food, but they do have the drink menus there. You can usually see the evening MDR's menus after lunch just outside the entrance doors to each dinning room each day.

As long as I got mine for my next cruise from sbpcl@princesscruises.com I'm happy for now 🤣

If using the app, under personal information, scroll down to cruise personalizer, it will have you log into your account. You will find it under beverage packages. Can also be done from the website, under manage your account, under onboard services where you'd order the drink packages.

I just emailed mine last week for our 3/8/25 cruise and they applied it the next day. When is this new one coming about?

I got both for our 3/25 cruise. They did change it back over here.

It may be the time in which you booked the cruise. A few months back I received an email from Princess stating that you could no longer have the SHOBC and MOBC together anymore, you would only get one or the other. There must have been a real big stink raised because they have decided to let us have both again, but changed the MOBC to nonrefundable. If you still show it as refundable I wish you the best of luck that they don't catch it or change it on you. We just booked a cruise for 2025 on 10/23/23 and it shows MOBC as nonrefundable.

If they fit at the beginning of your cruise, there's a good chance they won't by the end of it 🤣

Just booked for DW, DS and myself for our 3/8/25 cruise. I didn't think you could get it for the 3rd passenger, but our CVP did it.

We also like the Concerto, we always go the Spirits at sea for cocktails before dinner.
