Or that they tried to bypass the age restrictions. Unless he provided a false age when booking, or a false identification for the child at check in he didn't do anything to bypass restrictions...I'm not sure why booking a standby fare has any bearing on this. This was handled very poorly by Princess...they should have denied boarding at the port, or cancelled the booking prior to sailing. Princess had this Childs passport in advance of the sailing, and it was due to their own negligence that they allowed the child on the ship. I find it hard to imagine that in this day and age of technology that the computer isn't set up to flag a booking that is not in compliance. That would fall on Princess' IT department as a major fail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sn0cruiser Posted December 12, 2022 #80 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Last year, the Medallion app handled a s2s on different Princess ships with different booking numbers as a single voyage with a single app « boarding pass » for the first voyage. Caused us a bit of grief when boarding the second ship. The same thing happened this fall but we were just moving cabins on the same ship so no big issues. Unless this has been fixed it might be possible for a family to properly complete the boarding information for a first voyage where greater than 6 months is allowed and not have a b2b or s2s second voyage flagged properly despite an inadmissible age of an infant. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so glad you mentioned this. I didn't know about the earlier problem but I was wondering if something like that could be the issue especially since the first cruise made enough port calls to only warrant a minimum passenger age of 6 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965 Posted December 12, 2022 #83 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I know b2b. What is s2s? Thanks. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you disembark from one cruise line and embark on another if it is still called a S2S but in this case it was a change of Princess ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a side-to-side just means different ships (regardless of whether it's the same cruise line), but from the same port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a parent and to be honest I don't read my entire passage contract. I mean, it is really really long, come on people.

I agree that most of us don't read the entire passage contract, but if we run afoul of any of the terms and conditions in it, then that's on us, not the cruise line to make it good. I believe Princess was being more than generous and this is the thanks they got...🍋 🍋🍋 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
