It’s connected to the casino so I would try there first. It’s $20 per day to purchase an entry.

Princess flowers that we have purchased have all been fresh and lasted 7-10 days. Prices range from about $7 for a single rose to $59 for a rose bouquet plus they offer a mixed Princess Choice bouquet and a tropical bouquet which each are under $60. as mentioned pre-pandemic you could order in advance, now you visit Passenger Services. I am hopeful the Pre-orders will be returning soon. I have an upcoming cruise on Diamond Princess and I was able to pre-order flowers through the TA’s booking software. Will be interested to see if the flowers arrive as ordered or if I still need to visit Passenger Services.

With flexible EZAir you can change flights or refare flights if the price drops up until 45 days before departure & you get same day late arrival protection ( if your flight is delayed or cancelled they will help you get to your cruise).

Typically if you tell them you have a TA they will stop calling you.

You can go to the baggage claim area earlier and look for the reps. If you arrive before the shuttle starts running they will let you know when the first one is and will let you know where to wait or meet. It’s about 90 minutes to the terminal depending on traffic. Earliest shuttle likely would be around 10:00 am.

As others mentioned there is a European outlet behind the beds that the lamps plug into. If you don’t want to use that one ( or don’t have an adapter) you can get an extension cord from the cabin steward and they will run the cord from the desk outlet to your bed.

Do not plan to arrive at airport any later than 1:30 pm. If you arrive at the airport around 11:00 am that should work very well.

Which port will you be sailing out of? Which airport are you flying in to?

Plus and Premier are fare types even though they include onboard amenities, so your cruise fare needs to be upgraded and paid for in advance of sailing ( you cannot use onboard credits toward cruise fares).

Your TA has access to EZair. Some people like to book their own EZair, some have TA do it. It depends on personal preference.

There is no basic service charge for room service.

First I am sorry about your family emergency and hope the situation resolves positively with everyone healthy. Without insurance the only Princess offered protection is if someone in your party tests positive for Covid within 7 days of sailing. Here’s a link to Princess’s. Policy https://www.princess.com/plan/standard-cancellation-refund-policy/ Some credit cards have travel protection included when their card is used to purchase a vacation. It might be worth checking yours to see if any protection was automatically included by your credit card company.

Typically port fees for missed will be returned as OBC.

This for sure is bad information. Try contacting Princes again.

Or once onboard you can take the gift card to passenger services and they will apply it to your account.

The information about having the credits should have been given to you when your cruise was cancelled back in 2020 when Princess paused operations. At that time people were offered refunds or Future Cruise Credit with bonus non-refundable Future Cruise Credits. Princess has not been willing to extend the Bonus FCC- they expire Dec 31, 2022 To be sure there aren’t any more surprises I would check to see what you have on the books in both refundable and non- refundable bonus goodwill FCC as it is highly likely that you have both refundable and non-refundable if they are the result of the 2020 pause. The refundable FCC is what you had paid on your cancelled cruise and they have a different expiration date. You can check the type of credits you have by logging on to Princess and in the drop down menu you will see an option for future cruise credits, or your TA or Princess can check this for you. For reference regarding expiration dates here is information Princess gave to Travel Advisors a couple of months ago regarding FCC: Future Cruise Credit expiration dates extended We have extended the expiration date of a number of FCCs that were due to expire at the end of 2022 as follows: · Cash-backed, non-refundable FCCs: FCCs issued during Cruise with Confidence will have their expiration date extended to Sep 30, 2023 · Cash-backed, refundable FCCs: Cash-backed refundable FCCs are extended to Dec 31, 2024. Note that we are happy to accommodate requests from any guests who want a refund on their cash-backed refundable FCC. · Bonus non-refundable FCCs issued during the pause in operations are not being extended and will expire Dec 31, 2022

Your TA can get you the casino discount (if you qualify) and they can contact the Casino on your behalf to book your free casino cruise if you have been sent an offer by the casino. It’s easiest for the TA if you give them the promotion code that’s on the email or mailer. Also, do not worry about it being abusive to the TA, the casino pays the TA a very small transaction fee for handling the booking.

Thank you for taking the time to report. Very sorry to hear about your airline mess, that added stress certainly takes some of the fun out of your trip.

You can go into cruise Personalizer and scroll to about the middle of the landing page and you will find a bid to upgrade box where you can check to see if you can bid. This link may also work https://upg.plusgrade.com/marketing/partner/RNo2BO4VPCL

You can bring a 12-pack of canned soda. Sorry you got bad info from the rep!

Bid was accepted on 20 day voyage that sails in November. Original cabin was a BD Balcony. Minimum bid for mini suite was $495 pp. I bid the minimum $495 yesterday and was assigned an MB mini today.

11:00 am is a good approximation. If you plan to check out if your hotel at noon you shouldn’t have any issue going straight to the ship at that time.

The second part of your question asked about hotels in FLL. We like to stay at Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina. It’s very close to where the ship docks and there is a convenience store within walking distance for picking up any last minute items.

No. The bidding process and associated upgrades are separate from the Casino rate topic.

Probably yes if they are still taking bids. Go into Cruise Personalizer and click on bid to upgrade to see if they still have the option open for you ( or go back to original email). Please let us all know how it goes since we are all still learning how this system works.
