Currently on Royal and we get a printed Patter left on our bed every night.

I see you are from US. All Princess ships have a US outlet. You may still want to bring some sort of multi plug or a power strip that does not have a surge protector since it seems there are never enough outlets for all the devices you may want to charge, for hotels you will want a European adapter.

Have you, or your TA, requested and received approval for a route deviation?

We haven’t gotten them in years either! Update: I just read the description and terms of the Plus beverage package and the zero alcohol package and neither one mentions the free tumbler any more so it would be a good idea to bring one if it’s something a person wants to have on their cruise.

We have been watching them on Royal Princess. They have been playing outside on Movies Under The Stars and on the stateroom TV.

Yes, minimum bids or slightly above seem to be having good success.

Yes currently on Royal.

Yes. No problem. If you fill it at one of the beverage stations just use a clean cup to pour the fresh liquid and ice into it.

This is the way to do it- only pay exact amount. It doesn’t automatically convert to OBC.

Yes, BUT your credit would be on the booking until Princess processes the refund which could be 7-21 days. It’s far better to pay the amount owed and then take the partially used gift card to Passenger Services and have them apply the remainder of it to your account as an OBC ( or purchase OBC with it in advance).

If you overpay the amount would show as a credit balance and Princess would refund the amount to the card used to make the payment.

No more menu provided in advance however the variations and selection of items served has been improved (in my opinion). I have been seeing different things instead of the same 7 items you typically use to see on every cruise (things like Chips and salsa, shrimp fountain and steak tartare). For example on Royal a couple of nights ago there were hot Cornish pastry, cheese and crackers, fresh fruit, dried figs, vegetables and dip and some desserts.

Be sure to let Princess know you are on your honeymoon. Your TA, PVP or Princess can add this to your booking… you can also note it in your Medallion App (personal information and then go to celebrations). . congratulations!

The “Best Sale Ever” promotion advertises it with the Plus package because that’s part of that promotion. Princess website details what Plus includes when not part of the promotion ( no OBC is included in Plus unless that is specified as part of a promotion). Here is the link https://www.princess.com/cruise-deals-promotions/plus-premier-cruise-packages/hk-sg/terms-and-conditions/ All that said, it looks like the Op got the OBC. If it’s included as part of a promotion it won’t be listed in the booking portion that describes what’s included with Plus. It will show up under OBC. All OBC is combined into a total. Your TA or Princess can provide the details of the sources of the total OBC.

I ordered these at Guest services.

Here is a picture of the $55 Tropical Bouquet we got on Royal Princess. It’s really beautiful and quite large for the money. Just sharing in case anyone has an interest in what this arrangement looks like 😄

I am on Royal Princess and they have changed the protocol to trade mini bar items. Now instead of calling room service to request the changes your cabin steward handles it. I was told the change was made because room service is very busy with the Ocean Now deliveries. I don’t know if this is fleet wide or unique to Royal. Just FYI 😄

If you have a Future Cruise Credit ( FCC) the Princess booking system will automatically apply this to your booking and reduce the total you owe for your cruise. Your TA is able see any FCC amount associated with your booking.

Your TA can tell you where the OBC is coming from- your booking will have a list they can access. Did you use a Future Cruse Deposit? That could account for the $50. The other very likely source is if the agent booked you under group space they have held. At any given time there are various promotions being offered, including some that are unique to residents of an area. A good TA will compare the various promotions to see which one offers you the most benefit.

The Plus package does not include $100 OBC. The Plus package is gratuities, WIFI , premium desserts and beverages ( as described in the language you posted). The Best Sale ever promotion is what gives you the $100 OBC. - this is separate from the Plus fare itself.

Last night I sent an email that details the conflicting language in the Cruise Health Tool and the FAQ to one of the VPs at Princess who is always very responsive. This morning they responded that they have escalated this to the Communications Team. Hopefully this will result in the two documents being aligned shortly!

I suspect you originally got a rep that didn’t know the most recent codes or didn’t know how to add them (maybe they were new). It’s actually very simple for TA or rep to add the code for what you wanted.

I just sent another email a little higher up the management chain to try and get the Cruise Health Tool language and the FAQ to match. I think they tried to fix it with the 1/16 update. Hopefully the 12/02/22 Cruise Health Tool will be updated soon.

Looks like they updated the FAQ 1/16 but it still doesn’t match up to what’s being said in the Cruise Health Tool! Hopefully they get it corrected soon.

If the son logs in using their own credentials then they need their own internet plan.But sharing the internet access of passenger 1 or passenger 2 is no problem. When passenger 1 or passenger 2 logs in the system doesn’t care which device they are using. For example passenger 1 can log in as themselves using their phone, then switch to their iPad, then log in at the Internet cafe, then they can switch to child’s device. Each time passenger 1 or 2 logs on as themselves if another device is already logged on as them the system will ask if they want to disconnect the device that is currently logged on and switch to the new one they are logging in with.
