Cancellation of MDR reservations for post Sept cruises
Astro Flyer replied to lorri111's topic in Princess Cruises
All of mine are still there & have not read about anyoneâs MDR reservations being canceled yet. -
We booked a standard fare before Simply More began & when searching for excursions it shows thereâs a âSimply More Shore Excursion Packageâ with a 25% discount when purchasing a minimum of 5 excursions. When checking excursions it shows the full price & also the SMSEP discounted price. We have a combined $800 of SBC that can be used for any type of payments but donât know if we are eligible for the 25% discount because itâs called Simply More. This is only our 2nd O cruise & on our CA Coastal first cruise we didnât book any excursions so this is a new experience for us. If anyone has any insights to share would greatly appreciate any of them. đ

Here are a few photos of our Catch dinner on DiscoveryâŠyum!!! đ We were surprised to get a glass of bubbly with a slice of strawberry when seated. đ„ -
âbellebabyââŠyouâre correct: swap between Sabatiniâs & Catch were scheduled on 4/22 based on what restaurant staff said; the date of the change from Salty Dog to OâMalleyâs Irish Pub was unknown to me. Based on recent posts from Discovery the change from SDG to OIP is in progress & will also use the underutilized Gelatoâs location. On the current Live from Majestic that change was thought to be happening during the shipâs Spring 2025 shipyard maintenance in Palermo, Sicily. Hopefully @LACruiser88 can confirm Majesticâs planned future changes while on his transpacific cruise.

Kona is also great for scuba divingâŠfew sandy beaches & lots of old lava flows that ended at the ocean resulting in great clarity. If I was there overnight would do the nighttime Manta Ray dive againâŠmy most amazing underwater experience ever. đ

Review of the TSE cruise on the Discovery
Astro Flyer replied to Cruise Raider's topic in Princess Cruises
Maybe theyâll blame the delay on the total solar eclipse affecting their folio accounting system. đ I donât recall if they were still providing the cards in cabin for gifts, etc on our previous Discovery cruise in Spring 2022 or not. As I recall they said that by not providing a final folio it was a way to conserve resources. However with the number of passengers (including my son & DIL in February on DiscoveryâŠtheir first PCL cruise) reporting incorrect last minute charges by not providing a checkout folio that results in Princess receiving more income due to improper charges. -
Review of the TSE cruise on the Discovery

No emailed folio for us either & no charge yet for our small amount due. As I recall on disembarkation morning could not view our folio on their app but do have a printed copy from the last evening which is accurate. However until receiving the final folio or seeing a charge on our c/c wonât know about the accuracy of our final bill. -
SadâŠtoo many longtime local businesses have closed. đą

You might want to check your Military Credit to see if it still shows as refundable. For my just completed cruise booked 20 months in advance which included MOBC it was now non-refundable. Within the past year Princess changed MOBC to non-refundable even though it originally showed as refundable. That policy change didnât bother me because I am very thankful to Princess for providing this way of thanks to military & veterans that is combinable with other types of complimentary OBCsâŠthe best industrywide way to say thanks that I am aware about.

While youâre boarding Enchanted tomorrow morning, weâll be boarding a flight back to Maui without all of the benefits of your cruise. âșïž -

CarolynâŠlooking forward to reading about your experiences on Enchanted which is the only Royal-class ship we have not sailed onâŠyet. We greatly enjoyed The Catch by Rudi on our recently completed Discovery cruise. For me it was the best Princess specialty restaurant & hopefully youâll have a similar experienceâŠgreat service & food! đ
