So sorry to stir up a hornets nest. I thought a foreign port was just that and would cover the issue of leaving the cruise early. My bad. Rest assured Rick and Jennie, we had a fabulous time on the Island this week.. Food was better than on recent cruises but any meal I don’t cook is good for me! Yes the ship is showing her age but I feel it was in better shape than the Caribbean Princess we were on last year. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Enjoy your trip.

Halifax was our first stop last Thursday. So foreign country stop was met early on. Arrived in Boston on Saturday where customs was delayed which resulted in long lines and frayed nerves. Fingers crossed for a smooth disembarkation in NYC Friday.

I’m on the current Island sailing. Issue must have been localized. We had no water for about 60 minutes but everything else is great. Food service and weather. Only 1700 passengers this cruise. Having a great time!

WiFi discount is 50% on both single or 4 devices option. You could share the single plan only one device at a time. Doesn’t have to be the same device. The app doesn’t recognize my status so I wait until I’m on board to purchase a plan. No sense in giving my money to Princess early in exchange for on board credit later.

Thanks, I didn’t know if they would come by email or if I needed to search for them on the web site.

When will luggage tags and other cruise documents be sent? We are at 30 days before our sailing Jan 5

In the past, elite passengers can make reservations upon booking. So unless they’ve changed things, that’s not the issue.

Has anyone tried to make MDR reservations for 2025? It opens up but says no reservations found. But it won’t let me make reservations. This for the Sun Princess in January. Is it too early or is it because of the new ship?

I’ll check that out. Thanks.

Thanks. That’s sneaky! I’ll just pass for now and hope for a sale on board.

The spa price says from $103 advertised as 30% off No BOGO mentioned. That’s 30% from $148. But it wouldn’t give me that price when I tried to reserve a time. So I’m wondering if different time slots have the discount where others don’t? Or does it show up as on board credit. Princess does that. I’ll book an excursion, pay full price but they apply 10% to OBC.

I tried to book a spa treatment for 30% off on a Jan sailing. $103 was the listed price. But when I entered my credit card info the price popped up as $148. Add gratuity it was in the $170 range. I called customer service but they could not explain the price difference. Does this happen with other sales?

It’s been awhile but 10 years ago I fell on the Emerald Princess I had 3 fractures to my fibula and tibia. Princess doctors reduced the fracture on board and then I was flown home from Aruba two days later. They arranged the air transportation and made arrangements for a direct admit to our local hospital. I incurred no out of pocket charges. What my private insurance did not cover the Princess insurance picked up the tab. That included some home health aids once discharged from the hospital. We never forgo the insurance option.

Thanks! That information is very helpful.

I am a very infrequent Royal Carribean cruiser. Is there only one level of internet package? I see the vroom surf and stream package offered for $18 pd but I’m looking for something just to check emails. I don’t need to stream anything. Does the Adventure of the Seas have Starlink?

When checking our safe prior to disembarking our last cruise, I found a $100 free play chip under the plastic liner. It must have been left by a previous cruiser. Since I don’t normally visit the casino, is this something I can use on a future cruise?

Currently on the Caribbean Princess in the Labrador Sea. About 36 hrs from Nuuk Greenland. Starlink is working great! We are sharing a 4 device plan.

Cruising in ten days on the Enchanted. My Medallion updated yesterday and I can no longer find the medical form we had to fill in 24 hrs prior to cruising. Has this gone away?
