3,000+ Club (3/15)

  1. If both are ordered at the same time, it's one email.
  2. When ordering, you have to select all the details for both medallions, even if all you choose is the free lanyard. If you only did it for 1, then you only ordered one. If you did it for both of you, then you have it covered for both. You may have only ordered hers if you didn't walk through the process for both
  3. I am one of those who likes the idea of tipping at the end of the cruise. If I feel that someone has gone above and beyond, I am happy to tip, $100 is fine, even if it translates to $20 per request. If I feel taken care of, I appreciate it and reward it. However, I am sure no one would turn down a $20 at the end of a cruise either. Anything is appreciated, right? or am I wrong? It is difficult because culturally my accent (American) assumes I'm an over tipper, but living abroad does make one realize that the rest of the world does not have that "American tipping culture". So, I prefer to do local customs, but because I'm "American" that may be perceived as cheap, but it's what we do.
  4. All vacations cost money. I have found the older I get, the higher my expectations are for the money spent. I do still like Princess after all of these years, but I also have decided that variety is key. We've enjoyed trying other lines. My new favorite might be Oceania, but with my years of loyalty, I know what to expect with Princess. Has it changed, sure, but I still enjoy it. I am looking forward to enjoying the Suite perks on our next sailing, and will book based on pricing, itinerary and overall price structure (meaning, one cruise might appear cheaper, but if another includes things I desire, it may make that "more expensive cruise" the one I prefer. I have never had a bad cruise on any line, and can always see the pros and cons of each option. Happy sailing!
  5. Enjoy your cruise. Looking forward to the updates, when you get to it! 🙂
  6. Typically Princess says you cannot change the age groups, I’ve never heard of anyone successfully getting their kids moved up or down to be with a sibling, but it never hurts to ask. We have been on cruises where there are so many children that Princess changes the age group ranges but that didn’t group our children together and we didn’t know that until we were on board that it would happen. When the kids were younger, we found it was good for them to go to the kids club the first day, meet some kids then schedule time back there to hang out. If they didn’t go early in the cruise it was harder to meet kids
  7. We were on a June sailing that was cancelled. The new inaugural starts on the day our cruise was set to begin but the itinerary has changed. We were notified over a year in advance, I’d say it was generous to give us anything. Not expected, but thanks! Sure, I’m disappointed but already have our Plan B picked and waiting for our TA to book it. No hard feelings here.
  8. By the way, at that age, the kids should be allowed to be in their own room. You don’t need one adult per room
  9. Oh no!! Sounds terrible!! Was she afraid to dry them in the dryer?! Lol When leaving from our home port, we’ve started walking on with a wine trolly we got on Amazon. When at a different port we usually stop at a store to pick up wine
  10. Oh, I’ve been lucky! I’ve taken up to 3 bottles in one suitcase but never properly packaged like yours. Never had a problem but still feels … lucky
  11. Yeah, I wouldn’t say my choices have been smart now, have they?! 😂
  12. Brave!! I’ve definitely taken wine that made it safely. I like all the packaging you did! That likely helped. I’m never that careful when traveling with wine, probably should be. I usually wrap it in clothes. Going to Mexico next month and want to take a couple of bottles. I need to get bubble wrap!
  13. And the prince will Continue to climb! Grrrr!!
  14. Yes, bubbles in a suitcase sound like a disaster!!
  15. Looks like encouraging Suites to also book with Plus or Premier 🤷🏻‍♀️
