Applied in August for my match - ELITE with Princess - Got matched as DIAMOND (Black). Fast response when I sent a screenshot of my Princess Captain's Circle page.
Applied for my husbands - he is PLATINUM with Princess, and got status matched to GOLD. His application took less than 24 hours.
***First time on MSC*** - Hubby drinks energy drinks and things like Mountain Dew, Pepsi & Monster. He will drink red bull as a sub for Monster. He really doesn't often order a cocktail. I love my wine and sparkling wines. I can not determine if we can get his "energy drinks" with the Easy package or if I should just order him Alcohol free package? ADVICE for novices appreciated. Which drink package to get? Can he and I get different packages??
I'd love to know how you arranged the bike rental. Do you think it is safe for a woman alone? (66 years old). I cycle on a frequent basis, and love to include it when cruising, but have always done it with a group.
We are on the same voyage as you and I am so surprised that there are so few excursions listed by Princess . I will keep looking too. Let me know if you find something interesting.
