Thoughts on the NEW Dining Options starting Sept 14, 2024
LHARTWICK replied to mikjr's topic in Princess Cruises
Thanks for this info. We sail in DEC 2024, and the app allows me to go ahead and reserve our dining times. If they get cancelled and I have to start over, so be it. Either way, I've never gone w/o food on a cruise!!! 🙂 -
Just off of Jubilee - cabin 11515. We only had the 2 chairs and a table, although there was plenty of room for 2 loungers in addition to the other chairs/table. I only saw one balcony below us with the loungers. Maybe they asked for them?? We really enjoyed this cabin, despite the VERY HARD bed and the SUPER SMALL bathroom. Smallest bathroom we've had in 45 cruises. The aft cabins overlook the pool on deck 8, but it was still surprisingly quiet. No balcony light at night though. We found that to be strange.

Just off of Jubilee April 13. My HUB app alerted me on Sunday, day 2 of the cruise to choose a debark method/time. I went ahead and selected an option, even though I had been told I would receive P/D debark information later in the week. Other cruisers apparently didn't get the notice to choose a debark option until the last day of the cruise. Not sure why. Anyway, we received the P/D debark notice in our cabin on the last day, so we followed those instructions. Everything was fine until the ship was cleared and the P/D group was told we could leave.....all at one time! No order, no instructions, just chaos. Fortunately, everyone in the group played well with others and just did the best we could with it.

Spot on, mz-s!!! We've found that it really varies from ship to ship. We are Platinum and always use the self-assist option. Depending on the ship, it's either a super smooth debark or a holy mess when they just say "okay, everyone can leave now" in the Platinum/Diamond waiting area. Then it's a cluster - have seen several fights break out. We were on the receiving end of one a couple of years ago on the Vista when all we were doing was trying to follow what a crew member told us to do. Then Karen started yelling at us. Thanks to all who have posted on this thread - very helpful!

Well said! We drive 7+ hours to cruise out of Galveston and NOLA several times a year - could fly, but in total it would take us just as long, if not longer. Would love for it to only be 4 hours. And let's remember there are families who have presumably lost loved ones as a result of this bridge collapse. Prayers for all involved.

We've been driving to/from Galveston for several years now. There is always construction somewhere. This is nothing new. But thanks for the links - always good to have!

Does Emeril's Bistro 717 serve dinner only or is it also available for lunch? Making notes for my file - thanks!! -

Thank you to the OP for taking the time a (much) effort to do this! We sail in April, so it's nice to have all of this info easily accessible on one page. 🤩 -

So has the priority debarkation for Platinum/Diamond been discontinued? Wanted to clarify the process for that group, if it still remains. -
Misery loves company! 🤪 For the past 3-4 cruises, our mail hold has been completely ignored. Our neighbor has had the same experience. I thought it was just our post office, but it sounds like it's everywhere. I understand they are probably understaffed like everything else, but if they're not able to fulfill the requests, I wish they would just remove that service option from their website. That would help us plan to have someone pick it up for us. I guess that's what I'll be doing going forward. Thanks for your reviews, Greg! Always helpful!

New way for requesting Carnival shareholder obc now?
LHARTWICK replied to martinchem's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Same for me, even though we have EJ. Trying to load my info using the EJ option didn't work, so I chose the Fidelity option and uploaded the photo of my stock statement info. Received the "verifying your stock ownership" screen. Hopefully it will work. Thanks to all on this thread! Had no idea CCL had changed the method for submitting the shareholder OBC request. Leave it to CCL to make us jump through even more hoops to do something. -

Thank you for this, SG!! We sail in April. Ours is one of the cancelled & rebooked cruises from December since the ship wasn't ready in time. Glad to see they finally placed the phone on the wall - frees up valuable desktop space. Love that there are plenty of outlets/USB ports!! And is that a REAL hair dryer??? If so, I've just gained some space in my suitcase! 😁 -
