FLAlaska Posted February 24 #2527 Share Posted February 24 2 minutes ago, capriccio said: That's my personal opinion too. We're also sailing in Jan 2025 so there is lots of time to determine how everything is working or not. Interesting ..I saw the reservations yesterday, but today , with the update, Im reading under signature "You're always welcome and don't need to make a reservation for main dining" I think they are still working out kinks 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn’t make any sense. Only S0, S2, S4, and S9 are advertised as having Signature benefits. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meldrum Posted February 24 #2530 Share Posted February 24 Regarding diner reservations: the app is still a work in progress. For instance: a few weeks ago, Umai was listed as Speciality dining, included in the Premium package. This changed into Experiental dining not included in Premium. Today it is again listed as Speciality dining but still not included in Premier. Info about the prices change as well. E.g. Sabatini's was $39, now it is listed as $45 per person. Prices for the other restaurants now disappeared from the info in the app. I'm sure Reserve restaurant is only for Reserve guests, Signature only for full suites and no reservation will be needed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatMom72 Posted February 24 #2531 Share Posted February 24 4 minutes ago, c-boy said: somethings wonky Agreed. I am in an S4 on the tail end of a cruise tour in June and I can’t book anything through the app. I can’t even see the names of any of the restaurants 🤷🏻♀️. Of course, I think some of my issues with that booking are that it’s for a cruise tour. My other booking, which is in September (also S4, but cruise only), looks totally different in the app. For that one, I can at least see the names of the venues, I just can’t book them yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, unlike your fabulous feline, the new app is not great. 😕 A few weeks ago, I could see Umai and Hot Pot listed in the app for my September booking. Right after those venues were updated to experiential, they disappeared off the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osa J Posted February 24 #2533 Share Posted February 24 19 hours ago, Osa J said: Thank you, yes I printed it out immediately in case something else disappears! Problem is that today I cancelled one Gibraltar one to book another Gibraltar one so I’m sure later they’ll say oh “your refund is showing here” but its going to be for that change and the Genoa refund one is going to get lost in the mix. That’s my fear. How do they have no record for what we have paid for? Maybe it was because it was just a Princess chat person and they are not authorized to discuss accounting/payment matters so I might have to call in later. Problem is the phone waits are SO long and the people are hard to understand. The excursion has completely disappeared as being offered under Genoa, so I’m sure it’s just that it’s not running, but it’s weird that everything completely vanished and I’m having this issue. thankfully at the time that I received that one big payment confirmation email, I listed out all the excursion names, numbers, and prices I paid showing the breakdown for what everything was for. I wonder how “official” my handwritten receipt will be and if it will have much sway…😂 For anyone interested to know, my Genoa refund DID show up just now on my credit card, so that was pretty fast! At first it looked incorrect because they only issued me about a $44 refund (2 separate payments), but I discovered that on the Princess website when trying to add a different excursion to my card, it showed me having a credit for the remaining balance I was looking for? Odd, but hey all is squared away so I’ll take it. Just thought I’d let you all know that sometimes as in my case, your refunds may be 50% refund and 50% Princess account credit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted on FB that dining reservations for 4th May cruise were open and lots were saying they were still unable to book. When I checked in the app, my reservations were still there and I noticed that it stated Signature restaurant. I’m sure it’s just a glitch in the system and no doubt my reservations will disappear.

Previously, the lowest full suite was an S7. Is an S9 a full suite? A signature suite (aka reserve mini)? Just curious. Not intending to book a cruise on the Sun.

No matter if you paid full amount by CC for the particular excursion cancelled. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted February 25 #2545 Share Posted February 25 I found this preview. S9 is a full suite, but about the size of a mini-suite with just a walk in shower (no tub). Still not enough to get me on a Sun Class ship. I am sure those that book her will very much enjoy their cruises. 3 hours ago, cr8tiv1 said: Previously, the lowest full suite was an S7.

Steelers36 Posted February 25 #2546 Share Posted February 25 IMO, if it was S99, it would still be a Suite. Princess' naming system is one thing that is consistent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. S9 is a Signature Suite. If you book this room, you get Signature benefits. D0 and other Deluxe Balcony categories are not advertised as having Signature benefits. If you book any room category that doesn’t start with “S” you should not expect to have Signature benefits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. But there is a split with Minis. Some Minis are Reserve and many are not. But I do think they are all Mx. That said, the Reserve ones have been M# (as opposed to M<alpha>).

Some (C1/C2) have private cabanas, Reserve benefits, and cabana deck access. Some (e.g., M1) have Reserve benefits but have neither private cabanas nor cabana deck access. Others (e.g., CA) have private cabanas but have neither cabana deck access nor Reserve benefits. Finally, there are regular mini-suites (e.g., MA) that don’t have Reserve benefits, private cabanas, or cabana deck access. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
