Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I made a recent booking within final payment due date. I did not request transfers, I never do. Once e-mail confirmation received, I discovered that transfer - to the ship only - was added to the booking for one passenger. I contacted Princess, and was told the charge would be removed. Their mistake, so I assumed it would be refunded to my CC. Wrong assumption, it appeared as an onboard credit instead.
  2. Yay! Glad they’re back. Would be happy to find in cabin on my next Princess sailing - Enchanted 3/27. My collection needs updating 😁.
  3. Glad I found this topic. Have sailed with primarily Princess since 2015 and had never heard of “Princess Promotions”, until recently when this guy started emailing me and leaving voice mails saying he was my new Princess CVP. I was initially suspicious. Finally chatted with him for almost an hour…realized he was legit, but didn’t get the jest of the “Promo” until almost end of conversation. Once he realized most of my sailings now are Princess Casino Offers and that I prefer Marriotts…he couldn’t get off the phone fast enough.
  4. Kaiiak: When sailing on a Princess Royal Class Ship, I always purchase a pass for the Thermal Suite (Enclave). Have never been able to purchase in advance… Spa staff are typically set up in the Piazza or nearby at boarding promoting passes, treatments, etc. Or you can go directly to the Spa and they’ll be eager to give you a tour of the spa facilities & make appointments, sell passes, etc. Happy cruising!
  5. Thoroughly enjoyed reading about your experience in Amsterdam and on the Rotterdam. Beautiful photos! You have inspired me to consider visiting Amsterdam and to booking a sailing in that part of the world. I sailed on Rotterdam last fall (Caribbean)…she is my new favorite ship.
  6. I thoroughly enjoyed my inside cabin on the Rotterdam, a category L - Interior (6182) mid-aft on Mozart Deck. It was small but cozy and perfect for me as a solo traveler. The efficient design included plenty of storage space. My favorite feature was the shower!
  7. Never thought I’d enjoy sailing a HAL cruise. Heard it might be too subdued for my tastes. Took advantage of a drop & go offer on Rotterdam VII…loved it!!! LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT…The ship itself and all public areas were gorgeous. I loved my cabin (especially that huge glass enclosed shower). Best food ever on a cruise ship (great-no matter where you ate); entertainment was awesome (especially for music lovers). The crew were outstanding, especially the captain! I especially enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Didn’t miss the amusement rides, raucous deck parties or loud & intrusive poolside bands one bit. This was cruising for grown ups and I liked it…can’t wait til my next sailing with HAL.
  8. A good word for Majestic Princess. Sailed Majestic Princess to Alaska in May. I booked very last minute and didn’t have time to research the ship like I usually do. Ended up very pleasantly surprised, in spite of the “quirks” mentioned that make her slightly different than Regal/Royal. The Observation Lounge was a large, beautifully decorated area, far forward - in area where the Sanctuary would normally be on Royal Class Ships. It was mostly quiet and great for viewing scenery, with its floor to ceiling glass windows and cozy, private nooks. No other Princess Ships (that I know of) offers any such space. The nearby Hollywood Pool was beautiful. It was enclosed and warm, was always quiet. The Majestic offered plenty of open outdoor deck space for viewing as well. This was my third Alaska sailing and I was considering the NCL Bliss because of its lovely Observation Lounge or HAL Koningsdam with the Crows Nest, but glad I was able to find this amenity on Princess. Side Note: No matter which ship - Glacier Bay is a must!!!
  9. Sailed on Majestic Princess in May. Single & Solo Travelers Get-Together was held at 5:30pm each day. Only the first Get-Together was “Hosted”. Shared dining option was available…I was able to select select table size (2, 6, 8…). I received double credit as solo, but am already at Elite so I stopped counting.This was my 8th solo sailing on Princess. Have also sailed solo on Royal Caribbean, Holland America & on Norwegian. Norwegian puts the most effort into hosting solo/singles cruisers. On ships with Studio Cabins - there is the Studio Lounge, avail. only to solo/single passengers and a dedicated host, who coordinates the initial meet & greet, and then shows up each evening to arrange dining and show seating. I met lots of nice people on my NCL sailings, many of us still cruise together several times a year.
