  1. My apologies, I thought you were asing in code if we were travel agents 😁
  2. Isn't it great? We can all have different opinions and still be here as a groupπŸ˜„
  3. xoxoxox!!! πŸ˜ƒThank you so much! I was looking last night but was so hard to find!!
  4. Mr. Padgett, As a Princess shareholder, T/A and frequent paying guest on many cruiselines (which is a part of my business), I do find that Princess is doing well to separate herself from the others with the new Sun. Admittedly, the launch was flawed, and there are some kinks to iron out, but I'm optimistic that these can be ironed out, especially as you have delayed the launch of the Star. My guess is that this was done to fix some of the issues that have been noted on the Sun. I know that things aren't perfect in any business; I don't look at anything as rainbow glitter and hearts and flowers, but an opportunity for improvement. Thinking of the course that Princess is taking, it appears that you are trying to appeal to families while giving more distinction to those who purchase suites as well, which are both good business moves. Thank you for the forward-thinking and changes on the fly.
  5. It's worthless until you win $4,000... πŸ˜„
  6. Honestly, I prefer to see how they treat regular guests rather that how they treat the "well known video bloggers"... πŸ™‚
  7. They actually wear a completely different suit from the rest of the staff. They aren't wait staff who are also knowledgeable about wine; they are dedicated sommeliers, specific to the task.
  8. When we were on B2B in Australia/Tasmania/Fiji, etc., we had a great group who met up nightly before dinner; the Concierge Host, Darko, made it a great time as well, with themed evenings and drinks. We had about 20 of us who came in at about 5-6 each evening.
  9. I have always just given the number and PIN, as recently as November 2023, no issues,
  10. The ones that TA's have set aside as group space would be returned by/before final payment, but no guess high/low due to the great fluctuation in reservations and actual cabins that get sold for any given cruise versus cabins reserved. I can reserve a block of 10 cabins for a cruise and they all sell, but the very next cruise, same itinerary, 2 sell so eight go back into inventory. And who knows how many agencies are reserving how many rooms for each...
  11. They aren't "given" to us; but it depends on how many we reserve as group space; it varies. There isn't a set percentage.
