  1. Leave on automatic gratuity. end of cruise- depends on service- give extra cash in envelope to cabin steward, regular waitstaff, bartenders. Also to those who take luggage at embarkation. Extra in Specialty dining.
  2. Last week on Discovery internet was terrible in Vancouver. it worked quite well for the remainder of the cruise, with the exception of Ketchikan. Had to log out & log back in after returning to ship. I always add a day before flying home to avoid this kind of stress. Fairmont, convention centre, airport, Switch offer Covid tests by appointment in Vancouver.
  3. Crew member will be standing at muster station. Ask anyone, they can look your location up. Go there. Crew scans you & go watch tv- muster. Takes a few minutes. No worry.
  4. Yeah, and I am not yet suffering from jet lag, fat fingers. iPhone controls what is on here. the can sodas were excellent. No fountain drinks for us.
  5. Rent a car or isolate in a hotel in Vancouver. Save your receipts. Notify Princess. you should not use public transportation if you test positive for Covid. you still have to go through customs/ immigration at land border. Tell the truth. we are never goi g to get pass Covid if people keep only the nkong of themselves.
  6. No more plus package for me. In 4 days I had 6 drinks from this package. just couldn’t keep up with some of you. had mini bar set up as elite/ suite exchanged for sofas. Did not get 2 setups. concierge lounge had drinks , canned soda , bottled water.
  7. thanks for sharing I was on this May 4/22 Alaska Sampler. Had the time of my life. spoiled in a Ph suite- thanks to FCC. I have booked the exact same category for my next cruise. Cannot wait. The shorter cruise, less capacity 1800, the captain said, made it so enjoyable. No issues with elevator crowding & several wore masks when around others. only issues with internet was in Vancouver & returning to ship in Ketchikan. App/ tv control were issues and the toilet did not always flush— very annoying. Room service was very quick & accurate the 3 times we ordered. All crew were exceptional. I was also on the Sky in December 2019, but did not have the same experience with so many passengers on-board.
  8. Ruby was docked in Ketchikan on May 6
  9. We loved the food on Holland America. so, now you have a few you have heard otherwise from.
  10. Need details to answer. book with Confidence by May 31/22- sail by September 30/22, is this the policy you are asking about? Can cancel up to 30 days before sailing. PVP- cancel for any reason right up to cruise date. Read the fine print. Since the pandemic there is too much unknown and that is why I recommend Travel insurance.
  11. Everything I ‘ve had in the past 4 days has been good quality on-board the Discovery Princess. i didn’t care for any of the lunch selections in the MDR yesterday so had a hamburger. Pistachio gelato was perfect. service has been quick & outstanding in the restaurants and delivery to the room. glich has been app- long time loading. Told to log out and log back in. Fixed it every time.
  12. Cancellation penalty is on your travel summary in the cruise personalizer Cruise with Confidence 30 days before departure lays out requirements. I was asked if it was due to Covid concerns and got back my FCC with extended expiry dates.
  13. Who cares what someone else tips? Do what you feel is right for you. This should not be a Put Down topic.
  14. Yes, it had ham on it, fried egg, cheese, English muffin.
  15. Try Crown Grill & GiGis on Discovery. Excellent food & service. I was disappointed in Sabatinis on the Sky in December 2019. Just not what I was use to in the past.
  16. Just visited Melissa Future Cruise staff on Discovery. She sorted out my cruises & FCC for me. Bought & applied FCD on the spot. All email confirmations received within the hour. Personalizer is updated, as well.
  17. Got some envelopes from GS for extra tips. There are 1800 passengers and the crew has been extremely attentive. They deserve the extras from us.
  18. I am not getting ads. All has been informative and cards with invites. Off to see the Sky suite today!
  19. On the Discovery Princess 4 day now. Two productions in 4 days, magicians as well, one dress to impress- was unexpected though. first day Captain spoke a couple of times. Do not care for silly underwear, no pant talk from CD- turn off wake show. Still lots of paper information daily, but no paper port guide/ map. Had to log out & log back in after Ketchikan to get back on internet & app working again. Internet has been good except for this time in Ketchikan & worse was in Vancouver.
  20. You take your luggage. Take a taxi to airport after testing. $40 CAD. Approximately. Ask for refund of transfers while on-board.
  21. If you test negative come to the ship. if you are living with someone who tests positive call Princess pre cruise.
  22. Not so. Got them on our beds this cruise. Maybe for suites only.
  23. You can request one through Princess website- contact us.
