sez809 Posted July 14, 2012 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2012 We have finally, after much prevarication, linked our dining reservation with that of our travelling companions. (Decided not to shift to anytime after all, for those of you who recall an earlier query!) We now both have the same TWID code, of AC7, Princess tell us. Just really curious and trying to work out what the abbreviation means.... Not a biggie, just curious, as I say!:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaGeg Posted July 14, 2012 #2 Share Posted July 14, 2012 It means "travel with ID". More than one cabin sailing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted July 14, 2012 #3 Share Posted July 14, 2012 The code itself means nothing. It's just a alphanumeric code that Princess assigns as a means of linking bookings together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lljost Posted July 14, 2012 #6 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Yes, this TWID code means you are linked together and should be placed together at dinner. But as a precaution, when you board, you may want to see if the M'aitre D is available to confirm this. They usually have a scheduled time the day of boarding that you can meet with them. If you are unable to do so, do not be alarmed if you go to dinner and it is incorrect. This is not a slight on the part of Princess, just miscommunication between the home office and the ship. We booked independantly with another couple (my DH and I in the states) and the other couple in Britain. We were given a TWID code for our Hawaii cruise on the Golden but the first night at dinner discovered that it had not been done. No problem, they sat us at a table the first night and then scheduled us a table for four every night after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(same message to PIA). Haven't you ever used an incorrect word by mistake. I'm pretty sure we can all deduce what she meant! If you were trying to be funny please accept my apology.

When ya'll check in and receive your cruise cards, it will show your table assignment and dining room. Compare your card with you friend's card and if everything worked correctly, ya'll will both have the same table number.

Belle Posted July 15, 2012 #16 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Prevarication..Also means Straddle Straddle..Also means Vacillate Vacillate..To sway one way or the other To waver in mind She meant if you read..She was deciding if to Take Anytime Or Dine with friends. She chose her friends. So she was going back and forth (wavering) deciding what to do. Got it? People come on here to talk..get information They might not use the right word, spell a word wrong. So what? We know what they mean. So Why does someone always have to tell them what they did wrong. I think that's Rude! Suppose to be a friendly/nice group here in Cruise Critic.

From now on I intend to lurk rather than post, so that I cease to offend those of you with little patience, even less tolerance of others and too much time on your hands. To those of you kind enough to have responded, with helpful comments, to my query, thank you. I appreciate it. Goodbye.

SeaGeg Posted July 16, 2012 #24 Share Posted July 16, 2012 https://book.princess.com/html/tapres/rcba_cbok_content.html "Create Travel with ID (TWID Number) Click the "NEW" button to add a cross-reference number to the booking. You can enter the booking numbers that you would like cross-referenced. Click the link to see the list of cross-referenced bookings Travel with ID (TWID) should be applied to bookings where the passengers are family and/or friends and they wish to dine together. This designation will only apply to those who have been confirmed for the same dining option. This ID will help the Cruise Line to seat the cabins with the same dining request at the same dining table (This only pertains to the confirmed seated time dining, this does not work the "Anytime" dining choice). If Guarantee status bookings share the same TWID and are booked in the same category, the Cruise Line will attempt to assign nearby cabins. TWID should not be used to cross-reference bookings if the passengers do not know each other. A good rule to remember: ALL bookings which plan to dine together should ALL have the same TWID on each booking." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted July 16, 2012 #25 Share Posted July 16, 2012 sez809- I'm sorry you were made to feel that way. This board is a treasure of knowledge but one does have to develop a fairly thick skin to post. Poking fun at grammar, etc. is supposed to be verbotten, but, obviously, it does happen. In this day of autocorrecting devices, I, too, have made some posts that bear little resemblance to what I meant to say (itinerary is the most dangerous word for me, as it autocorrects to urinary :eek:). Don't be put off by this, you're not alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
