Really pleased to read this review. We had read some horror stories about this ship but thought they were just teething problems. A couple f hours ago, I booked two rooms on a 14 night Caribbean cruise at the end of March for 5 of us. Reading this has cheered me up.

Thanks.

Hi,

The person who helped me is Wendy Connelly.

We were going to take our painting back on this cruise, but arrived too late to drop it off so we decided not to take it this time, but we will in the future.

She explained that as long as it was bought under the old guarantee and that it was in the same condition as recieved then it would be okay.

She did explain that it could take 6 weeks to be sorted as they would have to verify the painting. This seemed reasonable, and I was very happy with the communication from Wendy.

Hi.

We are on Crown at the minute. When I am at home on 22nd send me a message to remind me and I will give you the details of the people who will sort it for you.

For anyone who is interested, I am in the process of returning my piece under the buy back guarantee. This piece was $3300 and was bought in 2004.

I wonder is any RCCL cruisers can help us find a couple we met on Grand Princess in October 2010.

They are called Cindy and Jim.

We believe that they are in the top 10 of most days at sea with RCCL.

They were a great couple and we were meant to catch up on the last night, but events overtook us, and we were disappointed.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Pam,

Thank you for sharing this.

Althought I am only 39, it is on my mind that when I go, then this is what I would like.

I am from Wales and Lorraine is from Northern Ireland. We live in Wales, and if my ashes were scattered here she might not feel comfortable about moving away, maybe back to NI. This way I feel she could visit me by being on any cruise knowing I am in the ocean somewhere.

Thanks again.

Matthew

We were given the buy back guarantee, by the auctioneers, I was just wondering if anyone had experienced using it.

Thanks.

We bought a Dali lithograph on Island Princess in 2004. At the time there was a lifetime buy back guarantee on fine art. We paid about 3300 USD at the time. Now with money getting tight we are thinking of returning it and using th money for another Princess cruise.

Has anyone returned a piece under the guarantee?

Thanks.

Matt
