lbfluffy Posted June 6, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 6, 2016 We leave in two weeks on the Grand. I just received an email from the cruise director Adam Love mentioning the exciting entertainment on the Grand. I don't remember getting an email like this when we went on the Crown last year. So exciting, nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myfuzzy Posted June 6, 2016 #3 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Back when you booked a Princess cruise, you would get a welcome email from the Captain a couple of days later, after final payment you would get emails from the CD, chef, hotel manager/matre D' all giving you information on what to look forward to on your cruise. Lately, however, those emails have become non existent for some. A few years ago I found ALL my cruise emails shortly after booking in my cruise personalizer, non forthcoming in my in box. Last year, I couldn't find them at all since they have revamped their website. They are an excellent marketing tool, but I am wondering since I am elite, they taper off as you rise in the "ranks" I am sure others out there always get theirs, would be interesting to know who gets them, who doesn't Edited June 6, 2016 by myfuzzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did like them but was told by Princess that they no longer send them. Of course, we all know how consistent Princess is! Not surprising if some people get them and some people don't. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Raider Posted June 6, 2016 #5 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) We get at least a few for every cruise ... and of course, under both email accounts. Just got one a few days ago ... so yes, they are still sending them out. Edited June 6, 2016 by Cruise Raider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbfluffy Posted June 6, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Hi Ibfluffy- I will be on the Grand in July and was wondering if you could share any specifics on what the CD said re: entertainment? Would love to know what's coming!Thanks! I tried to copy and paste but wouldn't let me. It just said to look forward to entertainment, naturalist enrichment classes, production shows. I think we did get one email to book shore excursions. Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted June 6, 2016 #8 Share Posted June 6, 2016 One used to be able to find all of these pre-cruise emails in the cruise personalizer but they seem to have gone away with one of the recent site overhauls. It's a bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasperdo Posted June 6, 2016 #10 Share Posted June 6, 2016 We used to get them for all of our cruises. But on our Ruby Princess cruise back in March, we didn't get any of them. I wonder why some people still get them, and some don't.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrak Posted June 19, 2016 #25 Share Posted June 19, 2016 We didn't get them for our last cruise but have gotten them for our upcoming cruise. What peeves me is that they are no longer available on the Princess web site. It used to be simple to check out all the pre-cruise email even if you had somehow missed it but that seems to have disappeared in one of the frequent site overhauls.
