Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Try selecting 1 or 3 guests instead of two, and see what comes up. Not that it will help, but it might give an indication of the number of cabins left overall.
  2. Forgive me for being perhaps "thick" but does that leaflet show that (standard fare) If I have elected to pay for OceanNow, I can have food delivered anywhere on the ship for the whole cruise, or anywhere except for my cabin, for which I will have to pay another $7.50 every time? Or is the $7.50 only if I phone in the order from my cabin?
  3. Have you been notified of any changes? I am also in NZ and haven't heard anything. @AJCM says "They’ve also increased the excess from $350 to $500" We in NZ must be on a different set of conditions, or completely behind the 8 ball. My excess has always been $200. Also, a little known fact - if you are going to incur a fee for paying by credit card, (Princess charge 1.1%) they allow you to pay by debit card, or internet banking, as long as the accounts are also held with ANZ.
  4. If she booked from Canada the price she pays for Princess Plus will be in USD ($60 per day) and the gratuities will be included as part of the package. If she had booked as a standard fare, gratuities are payable. If she had booked in Aussie, gratuities are not payable as they are included in the standard fare, and the package would cost AUD65 per day.
  5. I was fiddling around in the app looking for something else, and it appears I may have the same glitch as yourself. (See screenshot on the above post) It shows that I have bought the package, when I haven't. There must be a glitch in the system. I won't be trying to benefit by it.
  6. I recognize that you have asked the same question/made the same complaint on the Princess Cruises Passenger Complaints Forum on FB. I asked you a question there about the onboard currency for both cruises. If the first cruise (SYD - Van) is in AUD, I think the problem may lie there, in that you were offered the package at the USD price ( without it stating that, because it is the default currency)and seeing the second cruise is the only USD cruise that's what you got. Do you think that may be the reason for the mix-up?
  7. Given where its coming from, ABF may be a bit more thorough with disembarking passengers. I would opt for the later flight. Re the transfer, it depends whether you opt for "cheaper" or "more convenient" . I would opt for the latter and get the ship transfer.
  8. Unfortunately they don't offer "free to cruise terminal shuttle" any more, now they offer "free to airport shuttle".
  9. Probably better to ask in the Celebrity forum.
  10. I applied to the Princess email for mine Tuesday this week, it was in my personalizer Thursday. But no correspondence from Princess Australia, not even an automatic acknowledgment of having received my email. I got an updated booking confirmation later Thursday evening with the extra OBC showing.
  11. ANZ credit card insurance ( and quite a few others) covers the vehicle excess up to $6000, but you would have to purchase the cover from the rental company first.
  12. If you purchase onboard it will come off your OBC.
