jasbo49 Posted October 8, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Does anyone know whether the Future Cruise desk has Princess Cruise Atlases for those who want them? I ordered mine via the website Aug. 29, got the confirmation but no atlas. Repeated the whole thing Sept. 21. Still no atlas. It's hard for me to believe it's been "lost in the mail" twice. Their confirmation always says to expect it within 7 business days. but it's been 2 1/2 weeks since my second order. Another post indicates several others have had this problem. Since I'm boarding the Golden in 5 days, I'm starting to think that on board is the only place I'm gonna get one. But I don't know whether they have them. Geez, don't they want my money?

juakkers Posted October 8, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2014 They were available on a cruise I did on the Star Princess once, but haven't been on any others I have been on. Hopefully you will get lucky. Here in the UK I haven't got my Atlas yet either :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted October 8, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I have seen them in the past, but not sure that every ship always has a suppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasbo49 Posted October 8, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Thanks, everyone. I guess "maybe" is better than "no." I suppose the fact they just came out might improve our chances. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasbo49 Posted October 8, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted October 8, 2014 we had one in our stateroom on the CB last month Wow! That sounds even better. Maybe they just wanted to surprise me? How nice ... Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted October 9, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'm in the same boat as the OP. Ordered online - twice - and have yet to receive the thing. I find it incredibly annoying. If they are out of stock they should say so. If they are not out of stock then they should send the dang thing out instead of sending automagic confirmation that they've received the order and will ship it right out and then not doing so.

OCruisers Posted October 9, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Jasbo .... Do you use a Travel Agent? Ours ask if we needed one because Princess had send her a large supply for her clients. We didn't (already had ours) ... but just saying your TA should be able to give/send one to you. LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went there in December, thinking I might be able to use him to book an anniversary cruise, but my impression was he knew less about cruising than I did. He did offer me a Princess Cruise Atlas. I happily took it, but I don't want to prevail on him again, since I don't anticipate using his services. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoreCruises! Posted October 9, 2014 #10 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Personally, I prefer the less bulky version downloaded here: https://book.princess.com/captaincircle/brochureRequest.page The whole atlas is 21mb, but my laptop doesn't mind. This version also seems convenient at, say, an office for some reason.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nunuc2000 Posted October 9, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 9, 2014 We haven't received ours yet either... ordered it late August. Maybe they're sending it via dogsled. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm a little old fashioned, but I still like something I can hold in my hand or read at the breakfast table. I even read newspapers, believe it or not. I spend enough time staring at a computer as it is. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunnerGirl26.2 Posted October 10, 2014 #15 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I asked for an atlas at the Future Cruise desk this spring and got the impression that they do not carry them on board. They had the smaller/thinner brochures on the various regions, but not the big atlas. This was on CB. I usually download the PDF onto my Kindle fire or my laptop, but I also like the paper copy to peruse. I just requested the paper copy last week, so we will see if it gets "lost".

shsce750 Posted October 10, 2014 #16 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I also have ordered twice online, once Aug 30 and again on Sept 21. Called Princess on Oct 5 and they put the order in for me again. I complained that they send out a confirmation email promising the items within 7 days. The rep claimed that the email says they will arrive in 7 days or when they are available, but that is NOT what the email states and told him so. He didn't seem very interested in what I had to say. Still nothing so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
born2cruize Posted October 10, 2014 #17 Share Posted October 10, 2014 You know the old adage, "you get what you paid for." How much did you pay! Mine came a month ago without requesting it but then I ordered one last year and never received it, maybe they were filling last years order with this years Cruise Atlas. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWICE. If they aren't going to fulfill the offer they shouldn't make the darn thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasbo49 Posted October 14, 2014 Author #20 Share Posted October 14, 2014 To answer my own question, yes. You can walk right into the Future Cruise office and get one. At least I could today on the Golden. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
