Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Kinda dumb, the old app showed the no charge on the last page, the new one charges your card -- I never let it sit long enough to show a credit I guess, I cancel as soon as the charge shows up. Seems a waste for them, to do it that way especially without a note saying that's what they're doing - typical Princess shenanigans, We usually go to Sabatinis so we stop in there on our embarkation walkaround and see the person at the desk, could do the same at the other one..
  2. On some of our Medallion cruises, the machine would log us out and bank our funds if the Medallion was "too far away" from the machine - even while we were sitting there. While we do make sure to bank any money before leaving, I suppose based on experience if you just get up and walk away the machine will log you off and bank your money. I may try it with a small amount left.
  3. My biggest issue with pre-ordering Medallions is getting my picture to come out right, too many times I wind up looking like Charlie Manson or with an "up the nose" selfie....
  4. Right, not routers or repeaters. Cisco Aironet Access Points are in some cabins (suites especially - behind the TV) and on the ceilings of passageways. As noted they are white boxes some with a blue light on (hopefully). They home back to ethernet switches in the electrical closets. There are none on cabin balconies.
  5. We hit about $400 with Premier just by opening our cabin door. One hit was $250. 15 day Hawaii cruise a year ago. And we do appreciate the better wines...Sadly, Fortuna Luck didn't give us the 5 grand, or a free cruise, or even $100K at the end of cruise drawing.
  6. That is a picture of the balcony of an aft Vista Suite - on Sapphire that would be a picture of D738. The D741 pic is correct. ETA - we've stayed in the equivalent to D741 on other Grands and it does have a queen bed or 2 twins.
  7. I believe you are right - the 3rd party is this Radiqal LLC outfit. At least CC info is going to them and not every merchant out there. This thread:
  8. I haven't read the whole thread, but I'd figure that PCL is acting as a Credit Card clearing house / transaction processor, no CC numbers or PII are given out to merchants. They charge shoreside merchants a transaction fee. The only way they could do that was if they were processing the transactions themselves, not your CC company. ETA: Shoreside Medallion charges go to your onboard account, not your CC.
  9. I think you have to cash out your Casino account at the end of each segment if they are booked as separate cruises and not a single cruise, Casino accounts don't carry over (at least they didn't) like shipboard accounts. Or did you mean to clear any OBC / credits? I tend to cash out every time I play if the cage is open.
  10. ... except for the hostess Fortuna Luck:
  11. We won just under $500 on "door prizes" on Sapphire last December, so the premier package (sort of) paid for itself with OBC.
  12. C'mon, it's a 20th anniversary cruise, even if you think it's a waste, the experience is once in a lifetime for them. Or have them try for Chef's Table (another one of a kind experience), < $100 each including wine!
  13. Knowing and being parents, the all cash idea is likely to result in them not spending it. Buy them a couples massage or something they would never consider buying for themselves.
