  1. Well look who is head of Princess. 😉 A fish rots from the head down so goes the saying.
  2. Ah, but that that would be a real Stella and not some over priced swill.
  3. In May various crew/staff on board the Ruby said it was going into dry dock towards the end of September this year immediately followed by a wet dock. I have not seen any record of the Ruby going into dry dock in 2022.
  4. You do realize that you are referencing an old out of date form that is no longer used by Princess. The official information is at Carnival Corporation as that is the provider of the shareholder benefit. Please see https://www.carnivalcorp.com/static-files/bc1b7f04-a3e8-4176-91ac-a529290fe45d It details terms and conditions and how to submit the requested information. When I email I use a subject line similar to "Shareholder Benefit Request - Sailing date: May 7, 2023" In the body I use this format: " Shareholder Benefit Request Booking: XXXXX Ship name: Crown Princess Sailing date: May 8, 2023 Last name: LLLLLLL First/Middle name: FFFFF MMM Telephone number: 1 408 555 5555 Email address: someone@example.com Attached please find brokerage statement 'First_Name_Brokerage_Statement-XXXX059-2023_04_20.pdf’ " I then make sure to attach the brokerage statement which I have generated in a custom format from the brokers web site. Putting the requested information in the body of the email means that there is one less attachment for the recipient to open. If a clerk is busy they are going to deal first with the messages that have the required information in the body and fewer attachments to open. I get very fast turn around on my submission for Shareholder Benefit.
  5. If you want to contact a CVP see https://book.princess.com/captaincircle/cruiseVacationPlanner.page It has the number for the CVP department or you can use the form towards the bottom of the page.
  6. Is it anything to do with watching paint dry?
  7. There is a big difference between retail prices and wholesale prices. Princess purchases wholesale. There is a wide variety of fresh produce available year round in California at reasonable prices. Beef is an interesting story and prices have gone up nation wide due to consolidation of the ownership of meat packing houses. The large meat packing houses have decided they can earn more money by exporting the bulk of the higher grade cuts overseas which has led to an increase in meat prices domestically.
  8. On the Grand they used to have them every other day. The days that they did not have them was the day they had Steak and Kidney pie. Both were good. I saw neither on the Ruby May 2023.
  9. It seems to be working again as I logged in just now.
  10. Sailing form the West Coast is one thing. Stating a location is in the West Coast is another thing.
  11. Hawaii is West Coast only if you are geographically challenged. Alaska is debatable as it is not part of the contiguous with the continental USA though it is on the West Coast of the continent.
  12. Typically Princess does IT maintenance on the weekends. I suspect someone in IT forgot to post a notice at the header of the pages that the system will not be accessible for login while maintenance is being performed.
  13. On our cruise in May 2023 the food quality and selection in the MDR, buffet and IC were not as good as previously. I noticed major changes to menus. The big difference is that the head chef for Princess Cruise Lines is now Rudi Sodamin. He controls overall what is on the menus and what will be purchased for victuals. He also determines how the chefs and cooks under him are trained to prepare dishes.
  14. I wonder if you are having a network latency problem?
  15. Have you tried using a different web browser?
  16. I logged in successfully a minute ago using Firefox. You might want to consider using a browser that does not have as its sole purpose collecting user data. 😉
  17. You need to register the special event prior to embarking for the cruise.
  18. Article about the repair process https://abc7news.com/ruby-princess-cruise-ship-hole-sf-pier-27-crash-marine-superintendent/13490818/
  19. Yes you can book 100% via CVP or TA via telephone without using a computer. You can then show up at the port and check in.
  20. Prince Rupert was already on the itinerary. It is a charming town with an interesting history. It is the farthest west rail head that connects to the east coast. It has a few museums of note. It has good fishing and scenery and is not a tourist trap. I understand that some people are just afraid of expanding their horizons. Princess is providing more than adequate compensation for the delay and missed ports.
  21. Are you freight? The Jones Act applies to freight transport.
  22. cruisecritic.com will take you to the Cruise Critic website.
