  3. Info on the Grand Princess. Sophia Gideon has been CD for at least a month. Drew Raitch is ED Captain Michele Bartolomei is back as Captain Jean Paul Muslim is Dir. of Rest.Ops.
  4. On our Jan 31st and Feb 10th cruises, they will be 7:30 and 9:30.
  5. Keep the same Medallion. By the 3rd cruise in our B2B2B, my Medallion died (maybe battery). They gave me a replacement.
  6. For a cruise last year, I had bought the plus package and the upgraded internet package before the cruise. I later upgrade to Premier (before the cruise). When on the ship, I went to Guest Services, and told them this, and the refunded (to my onboard account) the cost of the internet upgrade I had purchased.
  7. We live in Niagara-on-the-Lake (not far from Inniskillin). We have never found a Canadian Ice Wine on Princess. We have found a couple Late Harvest Wines (but not Canadian)
  8. Some/many travel agents do not participate in the Bid Process. We have heard that Costco Travel does not participate in the Bid Process.
  9. When we were on the Enchanted earlier this year (same as Discovery), we found the Crooners and the Crown Grill bars had the best wine selection.
  10. From what I remember, it’s just pictures they take of you ( and whoever else is in the pictures), onboard or at the port.
  11. Did early ticketing recently, and within a couple days, the ticket numbers were available on the airline website or in the personalizer under Manage Flights.
  12. Thanks, just downloaded Firefox on my iPad, and seems to work better!
  13. You should be able to specify on each booking … “No Cabin Upgrade” … to reduce the possibility of them changing your cabin.
  14. I’ve been getting “Technical Difficulties” when using the Princess website, in particularly when trying to price or book a cruise. It’s been happening off/on for a while, but seems to be getting worse. I don’t think it’s just me? You would think a company would want their website site to run well so people can buy their product. I was trying to book a cruise the other day, and could not. I ended up going to a TA, who could. Other people could just look elsewhere. I’m wondering if they outsourced their IT during Covid?
  15. Jody Miles (CD) is going to the Caribbean Princess starting April 27, 2023. She announced this information on the Enchanted Wake Show, Feb 26, 2023.
  16. Love the Aft cabins, but would not choose one on the “E” deck, it’s right above the Vista Lounge.
  17. Paul Chandler-Burns joined the Sky Princess today (May 3) as CD. Andi Sanders (previous CD) unexpected left the Sky Princess on April 30th, after being “ill” for a couple days. Andi was schedule to be CD for the Apr 30th 14 cruise. Sophie Gideon, Asst CD, seamlessly covered as CD for the week until Paul came aboard.
  18. I'm getting a Schedule Conflict Error when trying to book excursions on my May 14th 2022 cruise on the Sky. I had booked some a few months ago and they are fine, but in the 3 remaining ports with nothing scheduled in those posts, I get this conflict error. I called Princess and did not get any help... "wait and it may reset itself". Well, I had already waited. I'm wondering if anyone else has or is getting this type of error.
  19. Thanks. I think he is Andi Sanders, and he was on the CD team on our Sky November 2019 transatlantic. He did his impresonation of Ms. Champagne. I heard he is going over to the Island Princess, I think later this month. (We are on the Sky, April 23 Norway Cruise).
