Womble99

Thank you, very much appreciated

Would you mind having a look at what whisky's are available onboard as you wander around?

Would be so happy if your were the next sitting and won the wet seats......

Mrs Womble would be happy if they were on the menu every night 🙂

Hope you both have a Merry Christmas onboard and maybe we will catch up again this year, we will be boarding again from Adelaide.

It is listed on our Travel summary for a Nov 2025 cruise on Discovery as a Suite Entitlement cost listed at $0

Can anyone tell me where the RC dining room is on the Diamond? We haven't been on it yet but it seems to have two separate dining rooms on deck 6 instead of the single like the other Grand class ships we have been on?

People follow AFL?

Lol number 6 arrived last night, they must really want me to upgrade this time 🤣

Curious how many emails folks are getting when you haven't taken up the offer to bid? So far on our Jan cruise we have had 5 emails touting the wonderful offers of the bidding process and we have more than 3 weeks still to go before sailing. Seems like a bit of overkill, especially when there hasn't been any cabins available in the categories on offer since the emails began?

Sure, benefits@princesscruises.com.au is the email I used. I wouldn't bother with stockperks to be honest.

If you are booking an Aus based cruise then just use the normal system it still works here. It is just the US as far as i can can tell that is using stockperks.

I sent an old fashioned email in last week and the OBC is there today. Still no requirement to use the APP yet.

I would be happy with that, an overnight in Hobart is a good option

I don't get it? A society that believes in forced tipping balks at a meager CC surcharge? 🤷‍♂️

Not sure if it has to be booked direct, but if you can make payment through your personaliser then you can put it through cashrewards. It is 6% again today I noticed.

Cruise is in Jan, it was the Black Friday online shopping that reminded me of it to go back and check. To be honest I was surprised to see Princess appear on it and even more surprised to see no cap on the amount of cash back in the t&c so at this point there is over $1k due back 👍 Will definitely be on the lookout for another 6% weekend when our next cruise is coming due for payment.

Does anyone use cashrewards or similar programs? I have noticed of late that on some weekends that Princess has a 6% cash back offer though cashrewards so I gave it a go. Had never used it for Princess before just the normal online shopping type stuff so I paid the outstanding balance for an upcoming cruise and have the 6% cash back in the account awaiting approval (normally processes after delivery so I guess after travel in this case?) The regular cash back offer seems to be 2% so a handy way to offset credit card fees?

As someone who has to fly for pretty well every cruise, I can say I am not disappointed that Melbourne is becoming less used by cruise lines. Having flown enough times into Melbourne to catch a cruise I would willingly go to any other Australian port instead these days given the option. Each to their own.

Will let you know how the view is down the other end Geoff, we booked an aft suite Sing-Syd

If not a change from Club Class to Reserve Collection then to what? Reserve collection is to match the Signature collection I believe? As to Princess asking for feedback, I know they do send out surveys on different ideas but whether they listen to the feedback......... who knows????

Thanks Geoff. Will be interesting to see if there is any change with the launch and Black Friday sales? Can only hope 🤷‍♂️

Are the pricing breakdowns available yet? Or is it just the promo lead in fares?

So the email I got from Princess lists Diamond for 25/26?? Guess once again the proofing department is struggling?

No idea how the bid to upgrades are going on this side of the planet but we have received 4 emails so far (still 60 days out) and the min bid has increased on each one. Offers going from a Vista suite are no cheaper than what it would have cost us to book it direct, maybe someone will bite????
