It should be Listed on your Special Services page in your Travel Summary.

PRINT it and bring with you!  You Will Want Proof in case Casino Cage

doesn't have you listed on their Freeplay amount List. (its happened to me twice)

 

Read your Special Services list Closely as the Freeplay amount is listed with all your other perks, like deposit paid as OBC etc.

 

IF Freeplay is Not listed?

Then Call to have it Listed before you travel.  Make sure you have your Offer in front

of you when you call.  You will have to tell them your offer code Again.

 

My current issue is my Freeplay and $200 pp IS listed on the Special Services page.....

But NONE of my other perks from Princess Plus are listed. (and they are suppose to be there)

Much easier to correct these things Before you get onboard.

So I will be calling Princess casino (AGAIN) to get this corrected before our

cruise next weekend.

 

 

 

Is there a special number for the Princess casino?  Do they ever show more than 4 items under special service page?

That is correct.

 

I was just saying somewhere up the thread that I got a bunch of casino offers so I booked 3 cruises B2B as a solo so I could become an Elite before our 30 day cruise.

 

I usually end up with some choc covered strawberries and a few bottles of wine that I give to our room steward.    I've always gotten casino offers, but they seem to have been coming hot and heavy since the restart.   Usually I get a balcony & $500 in freeplay.   Recently it's been a balcony & $1,000 in FP along with Princess Plus.     I'm also getting better cruises (Iceland/Greenland, British Isles, Hawaii) where as usually it's the Caribbean, Alaska or Mexico.

 

Can you see the free play amount on line?  I have one booked but the free play amount does not show up in my on board credit section or anywhere else for that matter.

Thanks! I wasn’t sure if they’d accept that without the account number showing the pages are from the same account. 

They did question mine one time when I blacked out the whole account number.  I had to resend with only the last four digits of the account number.  I send in from TD Ameritrade page one and two.  One has our name and account number and two has the account number and stock name and quantity.

I agree with you about cigar smoke the smell never bother me. But I can’t stand the smell of cigarette smoke. Go figure 😳. Outdoor cigar smoking is ok with me.

Tony

I can't stand the smell of either.  I used to like pipe smoke if it was a good tobacco.  Cigar smoke literally makes me nauseous and cigarette smoke gives me migraines.  I however do believe smokers have rights, but not the right to infringe on my health.  We are Elite with both Princess and Celebrity but I must admit, I love those non smoking casinos on Celebrity.  Doesn't look they lost any revenue by doing it since their cruises are usually sold out.

Thank you Lady Arwen. I know I should wait for confirmation but I’ve got a hold on something else so I’m impatient. Time difference doesn’t help. Also we only communicate by email. I was pretty sure the Princess experts on here could help and I was right. We would happily move the deposit to another cruise if necessary. 

If your deposit was refundable you should get it back.  I never book a nonrefundable deposit even though the fare is a little cheaper.

Thank you.  I guess we were on the Royal when we had the lounge.

Does anyone know if the Emerald Princess still has the Suite lounge?

The CCL Corp SHB is designed to be an enticement to book on Princess and other CCL Corp brands.

 

Removing this benefit would result in less bookings and would thus be "penny wise and pound foolish."

Too bad RCL and Celebrity don't feel that way.  Because if you get a discount on your cruise or other OBC then you don't get SHB.  RCL also did away with the dividends.

I'm just very grateful that Princess is still giving the SHB.  Given how poorly their stock has done.  They did take away the dividends, understandably, but so did RCL.  Thank you Princess for keeping the SHB & Military.

Great News!

Date Must be an error. 
Has anyone else on Sky received cancellation news rices?

Oops.  Sorry, it was our April cruise on the Sky.  The November cruise that was canceled is on the Crown,  So sorry for the confusion.

You are saying nov 23rd cancelled by Princess we are on 15th November sailing and have to pay balance by 19 July... 

Yes.

Am I reading this wrong?  We are on Sky 15th - 25th November, so how could you have been on a cruise starting the 23rd November on Sky?  Am I missing something here?

Remember Princess takes one cruise and has several different embarkation ports.  So you can take a 25 day cruise and do it as 23 or 19 or 7 days as an example.  Ours was a TA out of Southampton.

This is the letter we received for the 11/23 Sky cruise;

It is a really bad cold.  You do understand that Covid 19 is in the cold virus family, right?  People die from colds, especially people who have other health problems and end up in a perfect storm situation.   But Covid 19 is not a common cold.  It is more severe.  But it has a very low death rate.  And we have more treatments now.  That’s part of why even though cases may be rising, death rates are going down.  This reality is not offensive— it’s just a part of life.

Yeah right....SMH......And did you know if we stopped testing we wouldn't have any cases?  Also if we didn't have pregnancy tests we wouldn't have any pregnancies.   Obviously a lot of you have not had anyone you love with this "common cold".  I for one have had 4 people I know die from this.  The youngest was 42 with know underlying health conditions.  And one was in the UK.

Does anyone have pictures from one of these cabins? Does anyone know for sure if the balconies are fully covered, partially covered or uncovered? Thanks. 

I was told they were partially covered.  Just like the Caribbe deck on the Emerald,, ruby, etc

Do you know if they sold the wine packages in the main dining room?

Am loving your review and pictures.  Do you know if the Sky offers a wine package in the dining room?

They pour from a different bottle, which is a cheap version. They didn’t tell us that it was not proper Baileys until we asked. We can tell the difference! 
There is no Baileys onboard. 
now they have run out of our favourite wine as well. 

Do you know if they have the wine package on board the Sky?
