Default Cruise personalizer: independent. flights not there anymore ?

Doing a final check-up on the Cruise personalizer web site before it closes ( we are leaving in 10 days) I noticed that I can't find the page that was there before ( I have a printed copy of it !) where my flights are listed . They were identified as "Independently booked flights" . There was even a notice by Princess that these flights had been validated and in concordance with our voyage ( for each flight).
Can anyone help me find it or confirm it is not offered anymore ?

Also, beeing on the subject of the Cruise personalizer, I can see my egg crate request in Special services and also the fact that my account will be charged in USD ( I'm from Canada)

I would like to add that I also faxed a few weeks ago the form for the flight details.

Princess has had some computer glitches so your information may have accidentally be lost. You should be able to re-enter it.

Your flights were provided by Princess. The OP is writing about idependently booked flights that were entered via the personalizer and then validated by Princess to be OK by their time standards.

It does not really matter that these are on the Princess site. It will NOT affect anything with the cruise.

Alas yes it will, it will get you early bag tags if you have an early flight without asking.

And it will help if you have issues getting to the cruise as it will give them needed info if you are delayed.
Our friends had this issue on the Ruby inaugural.

Update from OP,

I found them, or they are back...
I'll try to figure out if it has to do with how I logged ( My Princess vs Cruise personalizer ) if I have time before I leave. Thank you so much for the answers.

We baught the transfers from ship to hotel and I was worried that they didn't have the info anymore on our arrival time. I had not taught about the getting off time witch is quite important too, thank you for mentionning that one.

WHERE? I have Special Requests or Additional Services--neither of which appears to have a place where they can acknowledge my request for an egg crate.

Therefore my question is....our flights are correctly reflected on the personalizer...we are spending an additional night in Copenhagen after our cruise....will this effect (or affect, I never know which one to use ) the disembarkation time we are given? I don't necessarily want to hang out on the ship. I would prefer to leave relatively early and have more time in Copenhagen.

Thanks,

We booked independentaly from Princess Air and got our own flights. I tried to type them in after I signed into the cruise personalizer and it doesn't let me type in the actual form. Should I just print in out and then fax it to Princess. We are going in two days early so shouldn't really matter however we are flying out the same day on Qantas as 3:15PM from Sydney so that apparently will matter. Can anyone advise how I can type on the actual form and do I have to print it out and then fax it. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

It should allow you to type in your flights regardless of when they are.
Are you sure you are in the right spot?

Yes it would affect the fact that as you are not needing early tags to get off.
You would have to go to the pursers deck at some point during the cruise and plead for some earlier tags if you really want to save an hour or 2. .
They may say you don't have a need. You might also see if you can sweet talk "Stewart" into securing some earlier tags for you, they always have connections through their brother/sister fellow workers.

Keith,
I am in the same boat (no pun) as you. We sail on Star from SYD on 24 Oct and sometimes they will show up on your personalizer but will no longer show on the cruise summary.

Ciao for now!!!

A few days before the cruise ends, you will be given a form to fill out indicating your disembarkation information. Then two nights before the end of the cruise you will receive luggage tags and a list of what color will leave the ship when.

If you want to leave earlier than what you were assigned, just go to the Purser's Desk and they will give you tags for an earlier time.

The information on your independently booked flights in the personalizer is mainly so you can see if Princess thinks your arriving flight is too late or your departing flight is too early. When validated, it means you meet their guidelines. If not validated, it means Princess has warned you. I do not think this information is given to the ship.
