10,000+ Club (5/15)

  1. Well, some of the young people only got the translation, but not the reference. But FWIW, my college dorms of 50 years ago were named after Middle Earth, so it Rings true for some of us.
  2. Delta yes. (Note that American has recently announced changes to their program which will disallow points if booked via a third party.)
  3. I agree with the suppositions above; likely Portugal has rules more difficult than Spain.
  4. 259 for MTG luncheon, Western Caribbean out of Galveston January 2023. Yes, we were surprised; and we agree with the statement above about officers who didn’t want to be there and braggart conversations. Food was nice, and we were happy to be invited.
  5. Ever since the barrel chair was removed we prefer the deluxe balconies just for the seating. Of course, Princess holds those back as 3 person rooms so you have to go through a few gyrations to book a specific room as a double. 🙄
  6. An excellent question. There are current threads on the other Carnival-owned lines dissecting the verbiage of the Annual Report and its lack of mention (unlike years past). The answer is not yet clear.
  7. Just one caveat to add: Depending on the source of the FCC, it may not be insurable. If the credit was granted to you by the cruiseline ( vs you purchasing the credit) that ‘value’ is not paid by you and therefore not insurable. They might let you purchase the insurance, but you won’t have coverage for the ’value’ of the cost. If you are only looking for the medical portion and not cancellation/interruption coverage; get a third party plan with $1 cruise cost, but beware the look back period.
  8. Additionally, booking direct means there is no third party default coverage from insurance (because there are only two parties in the transaction).
  9. Tables for 10 are limited; if you can get one at a reasonable time, go ahead and reserve that and then try to change to a better time onboard. But a bird in hand is worth two on the bush as they say. How far out is your cruise?
  10. Cruise Control was cheaper than rideshare pre-book for us. Very efficient and well-run company,too.
  11. Here is another recommendation for Cruise Control Transportation. Booked a group of 14 (airport-hotel @ CocoaBeach-Port-airport return) as well as one couple going just airport to port on Dec10. All communication was timely, pickup was on time, vehicles clean, safe, excellent and friendly drivers.
  12. From my experience, you need to ensure your call/text is WIFI ONLY or it will be charged an exorbitant rate by the cellular company. The app ‘supposedly’ has a texting function, but it lacks a proper notification of incoming texts and you must refresh the app to check for incoming texts.
  13. If Princess is routing you this way they are already dealing with the violation or exception under some sort of waiver. As to whether there will be a fine, or who pays it….this is not a routine situation so there is probably not a standard answer.
  14. Unfortunately, missing the ship in LA won’t result in a flight to the next port in Hawaii. The cruise line is not allowed to intentionally violate the PVSA, and thus the first legal port they could fly you to is Ensenada. One option could be to fly to Hawaii yourself and disembark in Mexico, but it would be up to you to arrange that itinerary deviation with Princess. They are under no obligation to do so. This is one of those itineraries where missing the initial departure pretty much results in no cruise. One way Alaska trips are another.
