Ron the Rev Posted May 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Prior to covid, on our cruises we used to get some free internet minutes as we are elite and book full suite cabin. Is this still the case ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted May 6, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 6, 2022 No. This has gone with way of the dodo bird. The benefit now is 50% off the regular price for unlimited Internet. So for pre-cruise purchases it becomes $5/day for one device at a time or $10/day for up to four devices at a time. Pay full price in advance and get the 50% off back as refundable OBC on the cruise. If you do not need more than one device at a time, then only purchase one package. If you booked with Princess Plus pricing, then a single device package is included for each passenger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ofmyheart Posted May 8, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I was recently on a ship & went to use the Elite line at Guest Services. I was told to "get to the back of the line, Elite means nothing". I was too shocked to say anything!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen people in the other line get angry about that twice lately. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only do elites & suites have a separate line, no passenger should be treated in this manner. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted May 16, 2022 #16 Share Posted May 16, 2022 On the Grand, there is a television monitor on the port side of the counter. It says Elite/Suite line. I am wondering if they don't display the sign if the lines are short? It has never been consistent. There may be two lines, but CSR don't always pay attention. They just take the next in line. Or...passengers walk up before being called. Crew Chat works better than standing in line for most things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilot Posted May 16, 2022 #17 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Was on Enchanted 20-30 March. I didn't notice a sign for Elite and Suite pax service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ofmyheart Posted May 17, 2022 #18 Share Posted May 17, 2022 The Elite sign was up. The other line was very long, I think she was trying to help the long line too. I was just to stunned to say anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were all Elites and/or Suites patiently waiting in line and we only asked her to get at the back of the Elite Suite line So if that was you on the Ruby Princess 4/23/22-4/30/22, the guy in front of me was in a S1 with 50 cruises and a malfunctioning medallion, I was just a lowly 37 history passenger, the one behind me just wanted info on Club Class (I shared what I knew and he left). Perhaps we shouldn't have said it almost in unison but ES do line up as well. Just on the right side facing the desk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amajaa Posted May 17, 2022 #20 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I have also heard of people walking to the front of the Elite line saying I’m Elite I get priority. Obviously not caring that everyone else in the queue is also Elite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AE_Collector Posted May 17, 2022 #21 Share Posted May 17, 2022 A scenario I have seen is no :”Suite/Elite” line when there are too many Elites on board. (That helps control the lineup of Elites complaining about laundry taking 3 days to come back!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought since it was the Elite line she would take care of people as or if they arrived but I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
