  1. If you have either of the two packages (plus and premium) you can order drinks in your room. Just a thought.
  2. You can go to casino and charge to your room. Then no ATM fees. Up to 1,000 a day.
  3. I just returned home from an Oceania cruise from Monte Carlo to Venice. I contracted covid and was quarantined for 5 days. I received the Paxlovid and was visited in my cabin at least two times a day by a nurse who took my blood pressure and temperature and made sure everything was ok. They really took care of me. My total bill for testing, visit and medicine was &1850 which I thought was very reasonable. If I were to contract Covid again I would definitely choose to do it on a ship. The hotel management called several times during my quarantine, they cancelled all my excursions for me, and I could order food from any of their venues.
  4. My cruise this past February I was upgraded to an obstructed view balcony on Emeral Deck from an interior on Lido. I was on a B2B2B and it was the second part and didn't get notified until on the ship the week before. View was not really obstructed as it was in between the lifeboats.
  5. I'm a Christian and still enjoy alcoholic drinks. I didn't realize I couldn't have both.
  6. this thread needs to be turned off.
  7. I guess I wasn't clear enough in my message. If you don't have the package and you buy a drink you also must pay the tip in addition to the cost of the drink. Sorry.
  8. Original date of cruise was February 2. Now January 29. According to e-mail it was due to "deployment changes." Not really sure what that means. I don't even know what the new itinerary is and really don't care what it is since I'm primarily on board for the ship experience. I'm from Minnesota and just want the sun and warmth.
  9. Received an e-mail from Princess cancelling our February 2025 7-day cruise out of Galveston. This is the first full suite we have ever booked. Good news is that they rebooked us for a February 11 day cruise out of Galveston on the same ship (the Regal) AT NO EXTRA COST. So, I had really gotten a great deal on the 7-day cruise and had purchased the plus package. I decided to reserve a full suite as a treat for my husband and two adult children. So, we have an 11-day cruise with plus in a full suite for 4 people at &7,000. Still have to purchase air fare but I'm okay with that.
  10. Don't forget the specialty coffees and bottled water. Also the 15 a day doesn't include the 3.20 tip added to each drink. You will each get one Wi-Fi. It doesn't make sense for a lot of people but I enjoy the freedom of not having to worry about my coffee and drink intake.
  11. I will be going on my first O cruise in a week so forgive me if this has already been addressed. We are spending a few days in France prior to embarkation and would like to bring a couple of bottles of wine on board. Is this permitted? On Viking River Cruise we could bring as many bottles as we wanted.
  12. We have canceled the day before and had no problems receiving money back on our account.
  13. Personally I would choose the LAX departure rather than Fort Lauderdale. Getting from the boat to airport is not always easy at LAX while the Fort Lauderdale departure is easy.
  14. Wish they would do something like this for everyone. I would definitely pay extra for something like this.
  15. I'm currently on hold with my TA. So far I would save $1100 on my cruise - they somehow allowed me to book as a solo without charging me the normal supplement. I actually went in to Princess and did a mock booking. Hope it works out. I'm in an interior cabin and they discounted it 50% and still had OBC. Happy Days!
  16. This past February I was on the Sky and it was at 100% capacity all month. This was mentioned at the Captain's dinner each week.
  17. I would put the money into on board credit. Talk with your travel advisor or call princess direct.
  18. After we went through all of the booking items she placed me on hold and called Princess regarding portion for casino
  19. Casino Credit was listed in my profile as available if I booked before a certain date.
  20. I just booked a cruise and was given the above promo without having to ask. $100 deposit and 250 OBC plus 200 casino credit and 25 future cruise deposit credit. Very happy with this deal done through the box store and cruise was 500 cheaper than Princess. Also, an additional 100 Shareholder credit. Received an upgrade. Happy Camper.
  21. I'm not sure what's going on with my booking. I paid my deposit yesterday and paid the amount over the phone because web-site would not allow me to pay on-line. I received a confirmation e-mail and my deposit amount was shown as $200. Went to check today and now booking has disappeared entirely yet I had received a confirmation e-mail. I called and Princess rep indicated it was cancelled because deposit was actually $400. Went round and round that I had given my deposit of 200 yesterday and if I had known they wanted 400 I would have gladly paid it. Somehow after numerous times on hold, my reservation was reinstated but for some reason they now showed a payment of 600 and I had also lost 100 of OBC and they had also added a transfer fee for transportation to and from the ship which was never included in the first place. I then went and tried a mock booking and it shows I only needed a 100 deposit. When will they ever get things straight? Every time I try and book something on line or try to make payments the website seems to have problems. This is very frustrating.
  22. I would probably take the Crown. I loved Victoria. Butchart gardens were beautiful and I'm not sure that you would have the time to visit while on the Majestic. Also, the arrival time on the Majestic is 1 PM while on the Crown it is 7:30 AM.
  23. Not sure if it's just club class, but a waiter cut up the food for a elderly person (I know, we're all elderly). Her daughter was at the table and asked waiter to do it.
